When I was planting my spring garden, I saw this flowering plant everywhere. It grew in many different places: full sun, shade, and even under a hedge. I’d pull it out and it would keep growing back. I learned that this is a very invasive plant called garlic mustard which is hard to eradicate.
What can invasive weeds teach you about overcoming a relapsing Anaplasmosis infection?
Similar to an invasive weed, Anaplasmosis can persist despite antibiotic treatment
Anaplasmosis, a tick-borne infection often associated with Lyme disease, can cause a range of debilitating symptoms-fever, muscle aches, fatigue, and neurological issues like severe headaches, malaise, chills, nausea/abdominal pain, cough and confusion. Anaplasma is primarily an intracellular parasite that lives within white blood cells. While antibiotics are standard treatment, most patients that have persistent symptoms are never tested for Anaplasmosis.
Analyzing over 300 patient records with documented Lyme symptoms, none were tested for Anaplasmosis
Misdiagnosed Anaplasmosis can lead to a chronic infection which can produce more severe symptoms of respiratory or renal failure, peripheral neuropathies, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)-like coagulopathies, rhabdomyolysis, and hemorrhage. Fortunately, antibiotics for Borrelia are effective against Anaplasmosis. However, some patients on long term antibiotics still test positive for Anaplasmosis. One possible reason, antibiotic resistant species have been identified in animal studies.
What else besides antibiotics can help you fight a drug resistant and intracellular Anaplasmosis infection?
Here are four strategies for overcoming a relapsing Anaplasmosis infection
Fortunately, there are four natural remedies which may help to overcome persistent Anaplasmosis symptoms. These strategies may also help to fight drug resistant Anaplasmosis and penetrate into cells where the germs are hidden.
Strategy #1: Microparticle Anti-Anaplasmosis Herbs
Herbal remedies recommended by Stephen Harrod Buhner in Natural Treatments for Lyme Coinfections for disrupting the cellular functions and reducing Anaplasmosis symptoms.
Salvia miltiorrhiza (Red Sage/ Salvia root/ Dan Shen) inhibits cellular functions PLCG2, Caspase-3, and JAK/STAT
Houttuynia cordata (Yu Xing Cao) inhibits cellular functions PLCG2, Caspase-3, and Bax/Bcl-2
Scutellaria baicalensis (Chinese Skullcap/ Huang Qin) inhibits cellular functions Caspase-3, remodulates Bax/Bcl-2 pathway
Artemisia annua (Sweet Wormwood/ Qing Hao) remodulates Bax/Bcl-2 pathway
Processing these herbs into a microparticle mixture increases their ability to penetrate into white blood cells and the nervous system where Anaplasmosis can hide. In addition to herbs, homeopathic remedies can help to fight off a chronic Anaplasma infection.
Strategy #2: Anti-Anaplasmosis Homeopathic Remedies
There are Anaplasmosis German biological homeopathic remedies that are designed specifically for treating infection symptoms. More effective than taking a single homeopathic remedy is to use a formula that has multiple potencies, which work on deeper levels where the infection can hide. German biological homeopathics are also designed to stimulate the body’s self-healing mechanisms and detoxification pathways. Besides homeopathics, essential oils may also help in treating Anaplasmosis.
Strategy #3: Anti-Anaplasmosis Essential Oils
Also recommended by Stephen Harrod Buhner in Natural Treatments for Lyme Coinfections for disrupting the cellular functions and reducing Anaplasmosis symptoms are two herbs which are cinnamon bark and clove bud. Both of these inhibit Protein Kinase A (PKA) cellular functions. The essential oils of these herbs also inhibit Borrelia, Bartonella henselae in lab studies. Besides herbs, there are supplements which may help fight Anaplasmosis.
Strategy #4: Anti-Anaplasmosis Supplements
Also recommended by Stephen Harrod Buhner in Natural Treatments for Lyme Coinfections for disrupting the cellular functions and reducing Anaplasmosis symptoms are multiple supplements including curcumin (Bax/Bcl-2 pathway remodulator), quercetin (Histidine kinase inhibitor) and EGCG (Pro tein Kinase A inhibitor). A combination approach may be the most effective way to incorporate natural remedies in your treatment strategy.
A targeted approach of remedies and treatment can help you to fight off a relapsing Anaplasma infection
Just like digging out invasive Garlic mustard weeds, combining anti-Anaplasma microparticle herbs, essential oils, targeted supplements and German biological homeopathics offers a comprehensive, natural strategy for reducing symptoms and supporting recovery in Anaplasmosis. Herbs, essential oils and supplements act directly against Anaplasma cellular functions, reduce inflammation, and protect tissues. Homeopathics help address the underlying terrain, modulate immune response, and support detoxification. These natural medicines have been clinically effective at significantly reduce the persistent headaches, fatigue, neurological symptoms and chronic pain caused by Anaplasma. Since these strategies can lead to Herxheimer toxic symptoms, work with a Lyme literate herbalist and essential oil practitioner to develop a safe and effective strategy for your condition.
