Introduction to Lyme Disease

What is Lyme Disease?
Lyme disease is a multi-system inflammatory disease that affects all
the systems of the body, including the brain. Although every case is
different, left untreated, Lyme disease can be devastating. Read
articles on Lyme disease.
Causes and Risk Factors
The specific bacteria that causes Lyme is a spirochete called Borrelia
Burgdorferi, and it is believed to be primarily spread through the bite
of a deer tick. Those who live near, or visit, densely forested areas
are believed to be at higher risk of exposure to ticks, yet increasing
medical evidence suggests that the bacteria can spread through other
means. Learn about the 100 perspectives on Lyme.
Lyme Disease Symptoms
Lyme can cause fever, headaches, body aches and crushing fatigue. Some
patients develop a characteristic bull's eye skin rash at the location
of the tick bite. Lyme can also affect the cardiac system and the
brain, causing arrhythmia, vertigo, speech impairments such as
stammering, and poor concentration. Palsy and facial paralysis are also
symptoms of Lyme. It is not uncommon for patients to suffer mood
swings, depression, and psychotic episodes such as hallucinations.
Lyme and your family
However, some people who have the disease do not develop symptoms
immediately after being infected. It may take years for some people to
become symptomatic. Some who have been exposed may never develop Lyme
disease symptoms, and further, is not yet known how long the bacteria
may lie dormant. Learn more about Lyme disease symptoms.
Tests and Diagnosis
Currently, the recommended diagnostic tests for detecting Lyme disease
are the Western Blot analysis, used to identify particular antibodies,
and the ELISA, a general antibody test. Tests for the disease are
unreliable. Negative clinical test results do not necessarily mean that
the patient is free of Lyme or its co-infections. The bacteria appears
to evade the body's immune system, as it is capable of changing into
two, three or more shapes as it spreads throughout the body. Learn more
about Lyme disease tests.
Unfortunately, it is common for people with Lyme to receive a
misdiagnoses and thus remain untreated. The medical profession's
nickname for chronic Lyme disease is the Great Imitator, because
symptoms mimic hundreds of other conditions including Multiple
Sclerosis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Epstein-Barr virus, and rheumatoid
arthritis. Learn more about Lyme disease diagnosis.
Lyme Treatment
Lyme disease is treatable with antibiotics. However, the strength and
length of prescription of antibiotics is at the core of controversy in
the medical community. Antibiotics given immediately after infection
seem to work for most Lyme patients. During later stages of the
disease, some patients have responded to extended courses of
antibiotics, but extended courses are not sanctioned by the Centers of
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the Infectious Diseases Society
of America (IDSA). Current guidelines for treatment of Lyme published
by the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) state
that it is reasonable to continue antibiotic therapy, in some cases,
beyond the arbitrary 30-day course recommended by the IDSA. Learn more
about Lyme disease treatment protocols.
Lyme and children info
Experts familiar with the complicated nature of diagnosing Lyme advise
that if a person has had a tick bite, or exhibits symptoms
characteristic of Lyme, they consult a Lyme literate medical doctor
(LLMD) and begin treatment, even if test results are negative or
pending.
Alternative Medicine
Increasingly, LLMDs are treating patients successfully with alternative
protocols, such as pharmaceutical and herbal antimicrobials combined,
and other non-invasive methods, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Further, doctors are seeing fewer cases of relapse in patients who are
treated with some of these alternative protocols. Learn about
alternative Lyme treatments.
For Patients
People suffering the symptoms and stress of Lyme disease need
accessible information that helps them make sound decisions about the
course of their own treatment. The Lyme Disease Research Database aims
to be a resource for patients seeking education about prevention of the
disease, support for identifying and alleviating Lyme symptoms, and
news of current treatments, both conventional and alternative. Listen
to interviews with Lyme patients.
For Health Professionals
The Lyme Disease Research Database (LDRD) helps provide a platform for
health professionals, LLMDs, researchers, patients, medical experts and
other licensed health care practitioners to speak directly to others in
the Lyme community. Health professionals share up-to-date information
about therapies that are effective for their patients with Lyme
disease. In addition, LDRD also showcases stories of patients who are
successfully overcoming Lyme disease.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.

ZORGIUM note to content providers: If you don't want your page to appear in Zorgium's search abstraction then put an exclusion for "Zorgium" in your web server's robots.txt file.
