Readers are reminded of the importance of catching Lyme disease early and that early diagnosis and treatment are vital in preventing long-term complications. The guide was authored by RX Lyme founder Stanley M. Lang M.D. - a board-certified physician with over four decades of experience in frontline healthcare and creator of the 'Natural Lyme Disease Treatment Program.'
Lyme disease is an infection caused by the gram-negative bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. The disease is spread among the human population through tick bites, namely the black-legged and deer tick varieties.
Lang writes, “While not every tick is infected with this bacteria, those that are can trigger a series of events in the body that, if not treated, can result in a variety of symptoms, some of which may resemble dementia.”
Dementia, the guide explains, encompasses various medical conditions that are linked by a marked decrease in mental function. Symptoms - which include confusion relating to time and place, difficulty in planning or problem-solving, memory loss, and difficulties understanding visual and spatial stimuli - cause widespread disruption in the lives of sufferers and their support networks.
Dr. Lang explains how Lyme disease affects the central nervous system, creating a decline in cognitive function and brain activity. “If a tick infected with Lyme disease bites you, the bacteria can enter your bloodstream and travel to different parts of your body,” he says. “Sometimes, this can cause encephalopathy, a disease that interferes with brain function.”
The guide offers some recommendations on how to handle cognitive dysfunction caused by Lyme disease. Seeking treatment from a healthcare provider who has experience and expertise in Lyme disease expert, engaging in cognitive rehabilitation therapy, and promoting overall health with a combination of nutrition, exercise, and plenty of sleep can all help control and manage symptoms.
Lang adds, “The link between Lyme disease and dementia is still under investigation but it’s evident that Lyme disease can greatly impact cognitive function. By being aware of the risks, identifying early signs, and taking steps to prevent it, you can safeguard yourself and those close to you.”
