The cure-alls of all cure-alls – – – resveratrol. It’s a mood pill, longevity pill, aspirin substitute, anti-anxiety agent, brain starter, heart energizer, and now……… the toughest and most perplexing disease of all – – Lyme disease (parasitic bacterium: Borrelia burgdorferi) – – falls to resveratrol.
This tick-borne infection is reported to cause facial paralysis, meningitis, with over 300,000 new cases per year in Europe and the USA, has been a vexing problem for modern medicine to overcome. Antibiotics are somewhat effective but 10-20 percent of the time symptoms persist (joint pain, memory loss, heart palpitations, headaches).
Researchers found Japanese knotweed, from which resveratrol is extracted, had eradicating power. It was a knock-out punch at very low concentrations in a lab dish. It bested 11 other herbal candidates in a recent quest to find a cure. It’s all cited in a recent issue of FRONTIERS IN MEDICINE.
And what modern pharmacologists can mix up in their laboratories to create patentable elixirs cannot cure like mother nature does. Last year researchers also tested various plant-based oils, only to find the oil from garlic bulbs (botanical name: Allium sativum) at a very low concentration, “completely eradicate” this pathogen. Those with persistent cases of Lyme may find a home remedy by crushing a garlic clove and applying it to the affected area of a tick bite. Garlic and resveratrol pills provide internal therapy for Lyme disease that affects internal organs and tissues. ####
