I got diagnosed with lyme disease back in 2009. It got so bad I could hardly move. I took antibiotics for 30 days and it got better, and I never had any symptoms since.

Knowing what I know now, I would have probably treated myself holistically like how I'm treating my hyperthyroidism. I told a family doctor I thought I had lyme disease, and she refused to have me tested. She gave me a prescription for tendonitis. I saw a dermatologist who had me tested, and she called me right away and told me. I went back to the family doctor a month and a half later, and she started laughing when she told me I have lyme and she said knew she didn't order that test. She never even bothered to call me. Most doctors only want to treat symptoms and ignore the cause, because that makes them more money.

I think the Western healthcare system is deplorable, and the masses are brainwashed into thinking they need drugs for everything, and holistics are for crazy people and don't work.
