A member asked:
What are the benefits of taking trace minerals for people who have lyme?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably none: Acute lyme disease will respond to antibiotic treatment well if begun early in the course. Chronic lyme disease has autoimmune overtones and may respond to a variety of measures directed at this. Lyme disease has also become the target of a variety of purveyors of otc medications of no proven benefits. Be careful. You can not only harm yourself, but your wallet.
