CTV aired a very well done news special on Lyme Disease in Canada on November 14 2009.
The W5 staff put together an overview of a few patients and what they have to do to get treatment.

David Leggett used to love the outdoors. He was a healthy, active, family man who enjoyed camping trips with his wife and two daughters. His job as a high school principal came with a long summer vacation -- the perfect time to enjoy Canada's vast stretches of wilderness.
That all changed in July 2004, after camping in a provincial park near Sudbury, Ont. "We were out hiking and then one day I couldn't hike anymore and my knee ballooned up. I felt really, really strange. I had no energy," Leggett recalled.
By October, Leggett was too ill to work. After doing some research on his own he suspected he might have Lyme disease -- but his doctors told him that was impossible because it was too rare in Ontario and it didn't exist where he had been camping. They were wrong.

Vitality Magazine recently published an article entitled in their July/Aug issue entitled, Homeopathic Medicine for Treating Lyme Disease. It summarizes a little about the overall picture with Lyme Disease and includes a couple of case studies that used Homeopathy for treatment.. A well written piece giving enough background to orient the reader. Kudos for helping educate us about homeopathy and how it can be used often for 'difficult' cases.

The following excerpt is taken from the article:

"While prescribing homeopathic remedies for chronic illnesses is individualized and dependent on a collection of specific symptoms expressed by each individual, there are situations in which remedies can be used to treat large numbers of people affected by the same illness. Epidemics are prime examples where many display common symptoms. In the case of the flu epidemic, the collective symptoms tend to correspond with the remedies Rhus-toxicodendron and Gelsemium.
In the case of Lyme disease, the collective physical symptoms are homeopathically represented by the remedies Ledum Palustre, Kalmia, and Rhododendron.
Having said this, there is still a high probability for individualized expression of Lyme disease. We are all born with inherent weaknesses and predispositions to illnesses, known as miasms. As such, we each experience and express chronic illnesses a little differently than the next person.
For best results and complete recovery from Lyme disease, consult a trained Classical Homeopath."

Here the remedies mentioned in this article.
Is is vital to stress that homeopathy is best administered by a trained Homeopath. The strength and frequency of dosages may bring on symptoms that the patient is not prepared for. Even over the counter strength remedies, if used often enough can cause a 'proving' of the remedy or other complications may arise. Always take homeopathic remedies under the advice of a licensed Homeopath.
