Thanks, Maria!
their
symptoms of the disease, or what place does that have in the appropriate
totality?
Maria: There is always a causitive factor, perhaps the causitive factor
is
physical weakness, but often it is a great disturbance on a
mental/emotional level.
If you can remove the disturbance, the body can deal with the Lyme sx and
allow the patient to heal.

Of course we want a nice agreement with the physical symptomology, as
that symptomology can
go in many directions with Lyme disease.
Lyme is an auto-immune reaction. We have lots of them going on with
'mono', fibromyalgia,
etc, etc.
You must get under the problem, the lyme is just an autoimmune reaction
superimposed upon a weakened constitution.

I have seen some amazing results with Chronic Fatigue and homeopathy -
again we know we have to get under the
mental/emotional problems. What is the client having trouble dealing
with?
Where is his difficulty with the way he is living his life?

Don't let the critter, ie Lyme spirochete, color your objective
observation of the case.
We know the rules of homeopathy, it just seems 'we' which includes Me,
must stop
putting the blame for some of our failures on the critter which is just
an opportunist.

I have made plenty of mistakes in not understanding my clients and
blaming a disease state for not letting go.
Of course some are intrenched (like fibromyalgia, like diabetes, and a
bunch more conditions), but I am inclined
to believe the people that are subject to some of these diseases are
quite adept at hiding the true causation even from
themselves so it is most certainly harder to get a case when the disease
has settled in and when the client has used
loads of allomeds in an attempt to suppress.

I am as bad as the next person and have to continually remind myself to
look at the totality.

Warmly, Maria

If someone is not aware of a strong M/E "causative" shortly
before the infection, does that present a problem, or would you expect
equally good results without it? (I am wondering partly because of a
friend
whose 20-year undiagnosed Lyme's has been -- as of last I heard --
treated
unsuccessfully by both hoemopathy and other things; after 20 years, it
seems
quite possible that she doesn't *know* what was going on "just before";
they
are only guessing as to when "just before" must have been...
