Understanding Lyme Disease and Epstein-Barr Virus
Insights from Melissa Olson, ND
Explore the shared attributes, unique differences, and comprehensive protocols for addressing two significant immune challenges that impact millions worldwide.
Understanding Lyme Disease and EBV
Though different in nature—Lyme being bacterial/parasitic and EBV being viral—these conditions share several characteristics that make them significant immune system challenges.
Shared Characteristics
✓ Can exist covertly in biofilms
✓ Common and pervasive infections
✓ Prefer liver and thyroid as hosts
✓ Can go dormant and re-emerge
✓ Thrive in toxic tissue
✓ Disrupt immune function
✓ Impact methylation cycle
Condition Profiles
Lyme Disease
Causative Agent:
Several strains of Borrelia (5 strains of B. burgdorferi + 100+ other Borrelia strains)
Symptoms:
- Flu-like feelings
- Mood dysregulation
- Joint pain
Transmission:
Pests, pets, people, and in utero
Epstein-Barr Virus
Type:
Herpetic virus
Symptoms:
- Swollen glands
- Chronic fatigue
- Headaches
- Low-grade fever
- Anxiety
Transmission:
Bodily fluids (saliva, blood, semen)
Key Factor: Symptom manifestation for both conditions depends on the person’s immune system strength, methylation status, and specific strain contracted.
