Secondary Support

Secondary Support is an important part of treatment success.  In order to help your body fight the infection(s) and get rid of toxic load, attention must be put on these secondary systems.

In particular, building up and maintaining immune function is crucial.  Part of that includes keeping Candida and other toxic loads in check during treatment.  Detox also helps to rid the body of toxins.  Lyme patients  tend to have vitamin and mineral deficiencies, so supplementation is important.

All of these things help to support the body in healing. They are part of the team.  Without them, success is further from reach.
