Lyme Co-infections are the RULE, not an exception

>>>> Co-infections are the RULE, not an exception.
The average child with Lyme disease has 2-5 co-infections with an average of 3.
Treatment of co-infections is required and often, they must be treated before or concurrent with the Borrelia treatment itself.
If you don't test for and treat co-infections, you are not putting yourself in a good position for healing.
Most people with chronic Lyme have 1 or more co-infections.
Co-infections require different treatments in many cases. Do not assume that you are covering them with only the Lyme treatment.
Co-infection testing is often unreliable as well and you need to repeat them over time. It took 4 months for my Bartonella to appear and almost 8 months for Babesia to finally appear, but they were there.
If you think you only have Borrelia, odds are you have not looked closely enough.
If you think that you are unique and that co-infections are not present, think again. It might just be that this change in thinking leads to a significant step forward in your healing journey. If just one person reads this article and gets tested for co-infections, my purpose will have been served. If after all of this, you still don’t think that co-infections are a part of your chronic ill-health, please go to the nearest corner store and purchase a lottery ticket. Your odds of winning the lottery are probably better than the odds of not having a co-infection.
