Microbiome and chronic illness (Lyme, etc)

I’ve come to believe that all chronic diseases are microbiome issues.

Hippocrates said the all disease begins in the gut.

The gut, however, is not the only part of the body with a microbiome. We are microbiome. The human being is more micro-organism than not.

The name Lyme Disease is a distraction. Ticks are mostly associated with one bacteria in what is actually part of huge biofilms with multiple pathogens that take over the body. That one bacteria allows for the diagnosis of lyme disease.

Chronic “Lyme” is always associated with co-infections. A lot of people have very serious systemic infections that go undiagnosed due to not testing positive for the “lyme” bacteria. Many go untreated because medicine doesn’t want to deal with the diseases it’s created.

These diseases are created or exacerbated by drug resistance brought about by over drugging with pharma that destroy the microbiome in numerous ways. Many people do not succumb to the same micro-organisms if their pharma histories are minimal which is one of the reasons we are gaslit when we try to get care.

Healthy people mock and disbelieve people with these chronic, life-threatening and disabling conditions because the medical establishment discredits people with such illnesses. Mostly this is the case. In some very small, exclusive corners care is available. If you don’t have money forget about getting treated with any competency. It’s expensive and difficult to treat multiple and systemic infections. It’s cheaper and easier to deny and let people live in agony without care.
