Hormonal Balance and Lyme Disease by: George Parigian Jr.
Hi Rachel,
This is a challenging question. I do not have expertise regarding Lyme Disease. However there is a strong connection between the immune system and the endocrine (hormonal) system.
Keep in mind that the body is a system, not just a collection of organs and tissues. All the body's systems are interrelated.
It would stand to reason that if you had hormonal imbalances, and those imbalances were corrected through bioidentical hormone therapy, that your overall health would improve, and that your body would be better able to cope with the Lyme Disease.
Since the doctors who do bioidentical hormone therapy tend to be antiaging doctors and practice functional medicine, they would likely be able to address the Lyme Disease as well.
I would advise that you check him out and explore the possibility that by balancing your hormones properly, your entire system would benefit and be better able to deal with the Lyme Disease.
