Lyme disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, presents a complex challenge for patients and healthcare providers. While conventional antibiotics remain the cornerstone of treatment, alternative approaches, including herbal medicine and energy healing like Reiki, are gaining attention. This article explores the synergy between allopathic medicine, herbal remedies, and Reiki energy balancing in managing Lyme disease.
The Allopathic Approach: Antibiotics
Herbs vs. Pharmaceuticals:
Herbs: Japanese Knotweed and Ghanaian Quinine show promise against B. burgdorferi.
Pharmaceuticals: Common antibiotics include doxycycline, cefuroxime, and amoxicillin.
Targeting Symptoms vs. Managing the Cause:
Herbs: Support symptom management and immune function.
Pharmaceuticals: Directly target the bacterium.
Adverse Events:
Herbs: Generally safer with fewer side effects.
Pharmaceuticals: Possible gastrointestinal issues and antibiotic resistance.
Citations:
A study by Johns Hopkins and California Center for Functional Medicine supports herbal efficacy.
Cure Rates and Remission:
Herbs: Limited data; further investigation needed.
Pharmaceuticals: Variable outcomes.
Herbs and Compounds for Further Study:
Black Walnut, Cat’s Claw, Sweet Wormwood, Mediterranean Rockrose, and Chinese Skullcap.
The Reiki Connection: Energy Healing
What is Reiki?:
Reiki channels universal energy for emotional and physical healing.
Practitioners use palm healing or hands-on techniques.
How Does Reiki Work?:
In-person or remote sessions focus on energy flow and chakra areas.
Benefits for Lyme Patients:

Testimonials
Here are some stories and testimonials related to Reiki and its impact on Lyme disease treatment:
1. Personal Experience:
A Lyme patient shared their experience with Reiki healing. Initially skeptical, they sought alternative treatments after conventional medicine failed to provide relief. They received energy healing from two practitioners and described the results as “miraculous.” The healing work removed physical, mental, and emotional symptoms, providing significant relief(a).
2. Lyme Recovery Clinic:
Another account highlights the effectiveness of energy healing, including Reiki, in addressing chronic Lyme disease. The patient experienced positive reactions and substantially improved overall well-being(b).
3. Holistic Healing Center:
A patient with chronic Lyme disease sought treatment at a holistic healing center. Alongside conventional antibiotics, they received regular Reiki sessions. Over time, they reported reduced fatigue, improved sleep quality, and a sense of emotional balance. The combination of medical and energy-based approaches contributed to their overall well-being.
4. Online Community Testimonials:
Online forums and Lyme disease support groups often feature testimonials from individuals who incorporate Reiki into their healing journey. While these stories vary, some patients credit Reiki with easing symptoms, reducing anxiety, and promoting relaxation during their recovery process.
Remember that individual experiences can differ, and Reiki’s effectiveness may vary from person to person. Always consult with a healthcare professional and consider a comprehensive approach that combines conventional medicine, complementary therapies, and lifestyle adjustments.
Integrating Approaches: A Holistic Perspective
Combining Reiki, Allopathic, and Herbal Approaches:
Scientific studies directly combining these modalities are scarce.
Integrative care may enhance overall outcomes.
Personalized Treatment Decisions:
Consult healthcare professionals who are well-versed in both conventional and alternative options.
Tailor treatment based on individual responses.
Summary: Lyme disease treatment need not be an either-or scenario. Patients can navigate a multifaceted healing journey by embracing allopathic medicine and holistic practices like Reiki and herbal remedies. Remember, healing is as unique as the individual experiencing it.

“THANK YOU, ROI!
I was given your book after telling a friend about my multi-year, terrible dealings with the medical establishment.
Finally getting a diagnosis of h-Pylori. But only after many, many tests and procedures and after threatening my GP that I was thinking of contacting the CDC, and after that having to lie, telling the infectious disease doctor that I had spent time out of the country: because after the years of tests, random symptoms, and being told by doctor after doctor that I was “just getting old” (I was 37-38 when it all started!) and that I needed to change my diet (I am a Pescatarian, raised by a mother with a masters in nutrition who never consumes fast food, soda, etc) I was sick and tired of being dismissed! I knew I had some kind of bacteria and/or parasite. But no one would listen to me.
It seems most of my symptoms are similar to Lymes (coincidentally, I live in the woods only about 20 miles from Lyme,CT), including that h-P can reside inside you until a trauma makes it become ‘active’ (I was hit by a car). Oh yeah, also like Lyme, I was tested ‘negative’ for the h-pylori at least 7 times (blood, urine, breath and stool tests, colon and endoscopy) before getting a positive diagnosis. Also like Lyme’s, this bacteria is amazing at hiding; well below the mucus membranes of the stomach and large intestine, making it very difficult to diagnose.
“I read (devoured) your book in about a half an hour! I could identify with almost every single line. I think I had 35 of the 38 symptoms you list on pages 55 and 56.
“While just yesterday, myself, my partner and our cats started taking food grade Diatomaceous Earth to treat the h-pylori , I also, after reading your book “Lyme Disease: Non-medical Diagnosis and Treatment” and we will all be trying Sodium Chlorite. I don’t believe the DE can detoxify the waste and requires additional supplements.
Yes, I am impatient to feel better, the insane amount of antibiotics I was given seemed to work for about ‘5 minutes’ and then more problems followed along with the return of original symptoms, as well. And I am still not even close to feeling mentally back to myself. For, at least, the last 5 or so years, besides being unable to physically do anything but the least amount needed to survive, I began to feel completely different. I became APATHETIC towards everything!
“Then in March my symptoms began to go from being seemingly harmless and ambiguous, to vomiting everything for 2 weeks straight while still swelling and gaining weight to having a “bug bite” appear one morning above my eye, half my face swelling and blood coming from that same side of my nose.
“By the time I got up to try to go the the Emergency Room, my brain was so “foggy” that I couldn’t figure out which shoe went on what foot! (BTW: I had been to the ER 7 days earlier and this day they didn’t still didn’t seem to think that there was anything majorly wrong with me, so after making me wait 5 1/2 hours with another hour or so till I could be seen , I left. Only to go back after 5 more days, but again, no one would listen to me since I had “not been out of the country” and couldn’t possibly have contracted any bacteria or parasite”.
“My thoughts were getting so hazy that I couldn’t make rational decisions or do everyday activities (I had been told that this was “due to a Brain Injury” from prior accident and couldn’t possibly be related).
“I have never been one to really trust the medical establishment (yes, my parents were hippies! …oh yeah, and I was hired freelance to film a group of 100 doctors who prescribed the largest amount of an Big Pharma arthritis med, while they all got a fancy dinner and a “Meet and Greet” with a famous athletic hero! …guess that’s just one of the ways big pharma bypasses the law against paying doctors for prescribing their drugs!) …anyway, I was looking into alternatives regarding my declining health, but was so toxic from the h-pylori and it’s waste eating away at my body and my being for years, that I almost felt like I was a prisoner of it’s pathology.
“Recently I watched a documentary on the BBC; “Ten Parasites That Control Minds”.(http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20150316-ten-parasites-that-control-minds),
It spoke of their ability to make it’s bug hosts drown themselves in order to help the parasite replicate as well as other “mind control”. That made me wonder if these bacterium and parasites affecting humans were also altering our minds and our behavior to their own ends? I do believe so, but it seems that the scientific community is in it’s infancy regarding this.
“Anyway… a result of finally getting a diagnosis of a gut bacterial infection, I realized that it was affecting everything from my liver function, endocrine system, gi tract, and more importantly, my thoughts, my emotions, my personality, and my whole being, I was finally and temporarily treated with the antibiotics 2 months ago.
“I can tell that it has not totally eradicated, but again the doctors are not interested in my opinion, so a week or two ago, I began searching again for more specific alternative treatments.
“I found your book to be very informative, positive and enlightening. I love that you mention The Law of Attraction on p.33 (I was given a copy of this from a therapist I sought out to talk about my “apathy” and issues found to now be due to the bacterial infection) positive thoughts and being kind to yourself because I do find myself getting angry that so many years were ‘wasted’ because I was unable to physically and mentally live my life to it’s fullest.
“And I try not to get angry because the medical establishment was of very little help and I don’t want to waste any more time thinking about the things I have no control over, but I do feel that I have to grieve the loss of not only time, but as a woman, the effect this bacteria has had on my appearance; swelling, weight gain, premature aging, and so on… Prior to this I was a very active, healthy, attractive person… I didn’t even watch tv I had so much life to live! I at least now know that while I chastised myself for being “lazy” and unproductive, I now realize these foreign critters were responsible for much of what was happening.
“On the other hand, I can be content knowing now what I can do to heal myself, and that I can finally, responsibly treat myself (and my family) and continue on in my life where it was temporarily cut off. Thank you.
Again, thank you for writing your book,
SMM
P.S. you mentioned pets in your book, I was wondering if you had experience treating cats with Chlorine Dioxide? If so, how and what dosage? (Possible Answer to your question: I read on Jim Humble’s website that dogs and cats can also drink this church sacrament un-activated because their stomach had 600% more Hydrochloric acid than a human, and that acid will naturally activates the sodium Chlorite and makes the chlorine dioxide. It is by weight so you might try 1 drop in the plastic or glass water dish. I’m no vet and I can’t even tell you how much a small animal should take?) END
“the first case of Lyme disease was noted about 1974 in a 14-year old boy, taken to the hospital with extreme pains in the muscles of his legs and unable to walk. This case, coupled with other pertinent facts related to the boy and a highly classified US government laboratory conducting research on contagious animal diseases in this same area, is suggestive of a link between these two events. The government laboratory alluded to is found on Plum Island, just north of Long Island, NY, and south of Lyme, Connecticut. Because of its secret nature, a “medically accepted” remedy will cost an absurd amount of time and resources to keep pathetic Big Pharma Industry going.
Herb “Roi” Richards provides the inexpensive method You may NEVER receive from a Medical Doctor !
Your BEST choice is to invest in this Ebook and then get the remedy !
Thank You Mr. Richards for Your desire to share ! END

“Very good and straight to the point. Easy read! You will have to pay a lot of money and be put through many tests to get the information in this book.”
“I personally know Roi and his wife Taylore and appreciate Roi’s willingness to document his research and personal success story in this book for others to read and determine a course of action for themselves. This knowledge is empowering each of us into action where other wise we have been stuck in a cycle of confusing health challenges! I will share this info with my Naturopath and conclude a treatment approach unique to my circumstances and detoxification needs! Thank you Roi for this inspirational research, book and sharing your personal journey!” END
“I like the straightforward style the author uses to tell his story of healing. Using a simple solution you can make In your kitchen author Herb Richards weaves a story that makes sense for the novice person looking for answers To the question “will I ever beat Lymes disease?” This is a book of few pages that gets to the point quickly but still tells interesting details of how Medical Science had abandoned the patient and even worse mis-treated her. I was on the fence about ordering the book because of the low price. The knowledge I gained is worth many times the cost.” END
