Lyme Disease: A Hidden Epidemic?
By Craig Cox,
Lyme disease may be more common than we thought, suggests an article in
Alternative Medicine (May 2001), and it may be a cause or contributing factor
in chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and other debilitating conditions. Some
doctors and health researchers believe Lyme is spread by fleas, mosquitoes,
mites, and human-to-human contactas well as deer ticksand that many
sufferers never exhibit the bulls-eye rash associated with the disease.
Antibiotic treatmentfar more extensive than prescribed for most infectious
conditionsis still the only known cure.
