Disabling Foot Pain Caused by Lyme Disease

One ordinary day, a man wakes up to face the journey of healing Lyme Disease.

Imagine that, yesterday you can live life, but this morning you can’t even stand up.  Your wife has already gone to work, so you crawl to get your clothes.  You crawl to the car, and then into the nearest Medical Emergency Room. 
The doctor’s diagnoses a lack of Prednisone in your foot and ankle, the primary pain that caused his disability.  Doctor cares for the pain with an injection and sends you home.
They do that for football players because there is nothing more important than scoring touchdowns. They suppress the pain of an injury, so you can get back in the game.  
This guy wasn’t scoring touchdowns, but they sent him back in the game of life unable to protect his injury.  
The suppression wore off quickly, so he calls the specialist.  The specialist diagnoses reactive arthritis which is defined medically as joint pain caused by an infection in the intestines, kidney or bladder.  The specialist prescribes methotrexate.  A drug that blocks DNA synthesis, aka. cellular repair and healing.  It is used with autoimmune diseases and cancer to suppress the immune system and rapidly expanding tumors. 
I honestly don’t understand the logic.  That effect seems contraindicated for resolving an infection or healing an injury.  Well, my logic feels that it’s  contraindicated to living, but I see things differently than most.    
Suppression did relieve his pain.  Until his doctor said, “This is a pretty harsh medicine.  Now that your pain is resolved, we should wean you off.”   Unfortunately, he found out that suppression only hides the pain.  

Disappointed, he drives to John Hopkins Medical Center, to see a prestigious Doctor. 

His prestigious doctor suggested methotrexate.  Yes, it was the same drug as before.  But if prestige said it was the right one, maybe he just needed to stay on it longer.    
Unfortunately, this time it didn’t take the pain away.   
Next he drove all the way to Buffalo to be seen by the Sisters of Mercy.  Giving credit, they ran some additional tests to dig deeper, and found Lyme Disease.  I have seen cases of regional pain syndromes that turned out to be Lyme disease, so this was a valuable clue.  
He reported that they did nothing to help, however.  
The pain occupies his mind and conversation, and a friend shares that she was helped by True Health.  Without hope, he visits my very un-prestigious backyard.  (Unless you hold Mother Nature in high regard)

By the time he finds True Health, he is exhausted.  He is having headaches and visual disturbances and now his shoulders are aching too. 

His labs revealed inflammation and adrenal exhaustion.   Exhaustion may have been a result of his 2 year journey, but I know that chronic infections like Lyme disease do wear you out. 

I found a plant that strengthened his weakness, called Manjistha.  

Manjistha is a plant native to India, China, and some areas of Africa.  Its traditional use is for spider and snake bites, because it flushes the lymphatic system.  It is also known to be an immune stimulant, which might be perfect for a chronic bacterial infection as the diagnosis reactive arthritis suggests, or a chronic Lyme disease infection, as Sisters of Mercy suggested.     
After 2 years of pain, which he rated as 10 out of 10 when he came walked in to True Health.  A pain that would no longer be suppressed by harsh medicine.  After 6 weeks of the strength of Mother Nature, he reports that his energy is 7-8 out of ten.  His shoulder pain is gone, and his foot pain is “slightly sore.”
Manjistha is research proven to win against our culture’s chronic infections.  When you eat too much sugar and white flour, you attract a yeast infection to your gut called Candida.  If you don’t find your way, Candida can become systemic.  That means it reaches your blood, and travels to your brain, causing brain fog and depression.
We don’t know for sure what he had.  Sister’s of Mercy identified the Lyme disease infection.  The only thing that matters, is results.  Manjistha defeated every possibility and returned life to his disability.

    Foot pains is very rare for those people whom walk and run and due to this they feel stress on their body and does not work properly . The massage from Physiotherapy North Ryde called physiotherapy is best in this pain and you must also have tests of your body like uric acid to find whether there is an increase in uric acid.
