drainage through the lymphatic system – one of your body’s most
important pathways for removing toxins and waste from your body.

Lyme Disease

Caused by an infection of the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and
transmitted by the bite of a deer tick, Lyme disease is found
throughout Europe, Asia and is becoming more prevalent across
the northern tier of the United States.

Fever, fatigue, headaches, joint pain and nausea early during Lyme
disease infection may appear to be the flu. If untreated, Lyme
disease may cause symptoms for years including an irregular
heartbeat, arthritis, brain damage and enlargement of the spleen
and lymph nodes.

While antibiotics are considered the first line of defense against
Lyme disease, both digestive and systemic enzyme therapies can be
used to support your body during recovery. Digestive enzymes help
take the edge off the nausea and relieve the load on your body of
creating new digestive enzymes.

Systemic enzymes help relieve the inflammation and pain caused
by the infection and support your immune system’s macrophages in
removing the bacteria from your body. This is especially important
as your body becomes susceptible to additional infections while
fighting Lyme disease.

Heavy Metals & Environmental Toxins

Heavy metals take a tremendous toll on your immune system. One
reason why is because heavy metals like mercury and lead can bind
with the systemic proteolytic enzymes in your blood, disabling
their ability to support your immune system and all of the other
important functions they carry out.
