Lyme In My Body

Spirochetes (the spiral shaped bacteria) that are caused by lyme disease can enter, burrow and hide inside every cell in the body. As they grow in number they can successfully terrorize and destroy the beauty and function of the body.

If left undetected and without appropriate treatment (as is often the case) they can cause injury, disability, pain, financial ruin and in some cases death.

This section contains videos and images of lyme disease in various parts of the body and links to case histories.
