hi, i'm dr. axe, doctor of natural medicineand founder of draxe.com. in this video, i'm going to share with you my three steps tobeat lyme disease for good and you're going to learn the best diet, the best supplements,as well as the best natural treatments today to beat lyme disease. and i guarantee a lotof this is going to surprise you. and if you follow the tips in this video, i think you'regoing to start seeing results in as little as seven days. and i know that if you're strugglingwith lyme disease, it can be overwhelming, it can be depressing, it can be discouraging,but i know that this is going to give you hope. now, one of the first things i'm going totalk about is the diet for lyme disease. and
i know that there are a lot of people outthere that are confused about the best foods when it comes to overcoming lyme disease.and here's what i typically see. when someone has lyme disease, they tend to gravitate andstart doing more of a raw diet, maybe juicing vegetables or trying to eat more veggies andfruits. and surprisingly, that's not the ideal diet for lyme disease. with lyme disease,the key is boosting your immune system. and a lot of lyme disease or infectious disease,it begins in your gut lining. we really need to support your immune system. remember this, 70% of your immune system islocated in your gut. so if you're treating lyme disease by taking a lot of things whereyou're trying to kill a parasite, that is
going to be the worst thing you can possiblydo. in fact, most people get worse when they'll go and take rounds of antibiotics. whetherthey're natural or conventional antibiotics, you're actually digging yourself into a deeperhole. and what i'm going to recommend you do if you have lyme disease is follow a dietto start to heal and seal your gut lining is the most important thing you can do. andi would follow a diet what i call a one-pot diet or primarily a crockpot diet, every singleday, eating these meals. i'm going to tell you, you're going to seephenomenal results this way when you follow this and some of the treatments i have foryou. so part of something to remember is that a lot of people think that maybe there's afood that's going to heal them. there is not
a food that's going to heal you. your bodyheals itself. i'll give you an example. if i cut my hand here, there isn't a nutrientthat heals this cut. i just need to keep it covered up. the body heals itself. it's thesame thing. when you have damage in your body or you have a parasite or something that'staking over inside of you, you don't want to treat it. you want to simply strengthenyour natural immune system so your body can fight it off itself. so that's the most important thing to remember.and many people have practiced fasting for a long time. now, i don't recommend you fastwith lyme disease. what i recommend you do is you consume foods that are easy to digestand that help rebuild the strength of your
immunity, which all starts in your gut. andso here's what you don't want to do. don't do ice cold drinks, don't do raw veggie juices,don't do raw vegetables, period, or a lot of raw foods. you want to be doing foods thatare warming and drying to your system that help eliminate candida, help eliminate parasiteinfections, and any other type of pathogen within your body. the way to do that is to consume a diet that'srich in bone broth, organic meat and vegetables. so here's what this meal looks like, is you'reconsuming, you're getting bone broth, you can buy it or make it yourself, you're goingto put that in a crock pot, you're going to get some organic chicken or beef or any typeof organic meat, and then load it up with
lots of veggies, and you're going to makea homemade chicken soup or bone broth stew. and that is the perfect diet. you're gettingplenty of protein, but also loads of cooked vegetables, things like onions and garlic. that's what's going to help you, that typeof meal. because the bone broth contains proline and lysine, the vegetables contain all thevitamins and minerals you need, the onions and garlic contain prebiotic-rich fibers,that's going to help heal and seal your gut lying, helping you beat lyme disease for good.and in addition to that, doing some fermented vegetables and getting probiotics in yourdiet. if you can follow that diet and get off some of the other stuff you were doing,i'm telling you, it is by far the best diet
when it comes to beating lyme disease. thesecond tip i have for beating lyme disease is to take certain supplements. number oneis vitamin d3, taking 5,000 to 10,000 ius a day. vitamin d is important for cortisollevels. when you get vitamin d, your body starts producingover 200 antimicrobials that will kill off infectious disease, pathogenic bacteria withinyour body. you've got to make sure you're getting plenty of vitamin d. feel free totake a vitamin d test, but 90% of people, at least, are deficient, especially thosewith lyme disease. so about 5,000 to 10,000 ius a day, unless you're getting direct sunlight,you don't need to take it then, if you're in the sun for 30 minutes that day. but that'svery, very important. the next supplement
i recommend is the b-complex supplement. wereally want to support your cellular function, especially vitamin b12, but look for an organicb complex supplement. you've got to have plenty of b vitamins in order to heal. the next supplement is coenzyme q10. in arecent medical study, they found that those suffering from lyme disease had low co-q10levels. i recommend 100 to 200 milligrams of coenzyme q10 every single day, i believe,is crucial. and then another supplement is bone broth protein powder or collagen proteinpowder. as your body heals, we want to give it the right nutrients for repairing and healingthose damaged tissues. also, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids and certain adaptogenicherbs, like shiitake and cordyceps mushrooms,
are great supplements as well. but those arereally the best supplements you want to be following. and then from a natural treatmentstandpoint, when it comes to suffering from any type of lyme disease, there are severalthings you might consider. there is ozone therapy, and really oxygenatingyourselves. that tends to help many people. also acupuncture. i would look up five elementsacupuncture in your area. in fact, i believe that acupuncture is probably the best treatmentwhen it comes to fighting lyme disease. and you can go to your acupuncturist and theycan tell you that you might have a qi deficiency or a spleen deficiency or a liver issue. theycan tell you what's going on with your organs, and that may give you even a better idea onsome dietary things or some herbs you might
want to take in chinese medicine for naturallyfighting lyme disease. i'll give you an example. many people withlyme disease have what's called a qi deficiency, that's q-i, qi deficiency, and certain supplementscan help that, such as royal jelly and spirulina and astragalus and other herbs in chinesemedicine, licorice root. all of these can really help in rebuilding and healing thesystem. so again, number one, follow that bone broth diet. number two, take those healingsupplements we talked about. and number three, go and see a five-element acupuncturist. if you do all those things, i guarantee you'regoing to see great results in overcoming lyme disease. by the way, if you want to learnmore about lyme disease, i have a full written
