pete -
i am in the camp that fully believes lyme is systemic and we still don't know how to fully rid the human body of that bug. therefore, it can flare up again throughout the inflicted human's lifetime. the good news for me, and others, is that it can be kept under control and it is quite easy to administer.
the real danger with lyme's is mounting a late battle against it, and that time frame will vary with different humans and different situations. if allowed to go on for an extended period of time that can be many months to years, homeopathic treatment is usually too late and one must resort to antibiotics, infusions and even transfusions - all of which may never arrest the bug infestation and that will lead one to a wheelchair at best.
