Lyme Disease - No Prescription - Buy Lyme Disease Medications Without Prescription amoxicillin, doxycycline, cefuroxime axetil, erythromycin, ceftriaxone, penicillin

The best defense against Lyme disease is to guard against tick bites. Avoid heavily wooded areas, wear protective clothing, and apply tick repellant. Wear light-colored clothing (which makes ticks easier to detect), do a careful inspection of your body after outdoor activities in wooded or grassy areas, and, if ticks are found, remove them with tweezers. New evidence suggests that it may even be possible to prevent Lyme disease if antibiotics are administered within 3 days of a tick bite.

A vaccine against Lyme disease was approved by the FDA in December 1998. The vaccine is recommended for those who live, travel, or work in areas where Lyme disease is prevalent. Studies indicate that the vaccine is about 80% effective.

Drug Therapies

Your provider may prescribe the following medications:

Antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, doxycycline, cefuroxime axetil, or erythromycin; in the case of neurological symptoms, ceftriaxone or penicillin is used

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for relief of symptoms

Complementary and Alternative Therapies

Lyme disease affects many body systems, so treatment that includes complementary therapies, such as homeopathy and stress management, may have benefits. Chiropractic therapy may help relieve pain, make you more mobile, and improve range of motion.

Nutrition

These nutritional factors may help in treating Lyme disease; each of these should be discussed with your healthcare provider before using:

Fatty acids that reduce inflammation (such as borage and fish oils)
Mitochondrial nutrients (such as carnitine and alpha-lipoic acid), which boost energy; these supplements may also help with cognitive functions such as focused thinking and memory

Cognitive enhancements, such as coenzyme Q10, used to increase blood flow to the brain

Nutrients that support your adrenal gland (such as vitamin C, vitamin B6, and pantothenic acid)

Calcium/magnesium supplements for muscle pain and spasm

Extra magnesium (30 to 420 mg a day, depending on age and gender) and malic acid (found in apples, pears, and other fruits, and used as a food additive), when muscle pain is your primary symptom

Low levels of vitamin A may increase arthritic inflammation caused by Lyme disease; although not known definitively, taking vitamin A may improve these symptoms

Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus; if antibiotics are taken, your healthcare provider may suggest this supplement to help maintain or restore normal levels of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines

Herbs

Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) may help reduce cognition (thinking, learning, memory) problems, and valerian (Valeriana officinalis) may help with any accompanying anxiety.
Case studies suggest that Chinese herbal formulas may be effective in people with Lyme disease who don't respond to antibiotics.

Homeopathy

There have been few studies examining the effectiveness of specific homeopathic remedies. Professional homeopaths, however, may recommend treatments for Lyme disease based on their knowledge and clinical experience. Typically, homeopaths take into account a persons constitutional type before prescribing a remedy. In homeopathic terms, a persons constitution is his or her physical, emotional, and intellectual makeup. In some cases, such as Lyme disease, a professional homeopath may prescribe specific remedies without considering the individuals constitutional state. Such remedies for Lyme disease include:

Arsenicum album
Carcinosin
Lac canimum
Ledum
Mercurius
Syphilinum
Thuja

Acupuncture

Acupuncture may help relieve pain, increase mobility, and reduce fatigue. Chinese herbal formulas, used by many acupuncturists, may help resolve joint, muscular, and neurological symptoms from B. burgdorferi infection after many courses of antibiotics.

Massage

Massage therapy may help relieve muscle pain and increase mobility as part of a physical therapy program.

Prognosis/Possible Complications

The long-term prognosis for most patients treated with antibiotics is excellent. Delay in treatment can result in complications.
