Do you suffer from:

Then you may have a bacterial infection!

_______________________________________________


Chronic Fatigue
Fibromyalgia
Guillain-Barré
Multiple Sclerosis
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Lou Gehrig's disease
(ALS)
Alzheimer's
Parkinson's disease


The above are all based on clinical diagnosis, meaning there is no definitive testing, or are often MISTAKEN FOR OTHER ILLNESSES



Lyme disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is a debilitating illness transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks. The pain associated with Lyme disease can be excruciating, manifesting as joint pain, muscle aches, and even neurological discomfort. Patients often struggle with persistent and severe pain, severely impacting their quality of life. Recent studies suggest that high-quality CBD oil may provide relief for those suffering from this relentless pain (see MindBodyGreen for more info). CBD oil, derived from the non-psychoactive component of the cannabis plant, has been shown to possess analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, which could potentially alleviate the chronic pain experienced by Lyme disease patients. While more research is necessary to fully understand the efficacy of CBD oil in treating Lyme disease pain, early results are promising and offer hope for those seeking alternative methods of pain management.

*Mission Possible*

Our mission at the Illinois Lyme Disease Network is to ensure people of Southern Illinois and surrounding areas get true information about Vector-Borne diseases.
 
To bring education about zoonosis to local area medical personnel along with encouragment to treat clinical diagnosis as they deem nessessary.
 
To keep our members abreast of new medical publications about vector diseases and share openly with all who seek answers.

To keep hope alive for all who suffer from chronic disease and empower all who enter our door.

Our main goal is to not let one person get lost in misdiagnosis.





Always Remember those lost to 9-11
For all who seek the truth

"The anti-bacterial activity of honey is based partly on its osmotic effects in that the bacteria that cause infection are unable to survive in honey because they become dehydrated. In addition, it was noted that the presence of hydrogen peroxide generated by the enzymatic activity of glucose oxidase in dilute honey contributes to the anti-bacterial activity. As hydrogen peroxide decomposes, it generates highly reactive free radicals that react and kill bacteria."
