Cryptolepis Lyme disease support is a promising option for those suffering from the effects of the disease.
A 1992 report by the Institute of Medicine on emerging microbial threats highlighted the emergence of Lyme disease and other new tick-borne diseases. Unfortunately, the world’s efforts to contain these new bacterial infections have not been successful due to human demographics, microbial adaptation, and economic developments.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that vector-borne infections account for 17% of new microbial infections. Most recently, tick-transmitted bacterial infections have received much attention due to their increased incidence.
Today, the Centers for Disease Control estimates that more than 476,000 Americans are infected with Lyme disease every year. In addition, many people suffer the lingering effects of Lyme disease for long periods of time. (Michael Van der Linden, owner of Linden Botanicals, suffered from Lyme disease for almost 4 years.) Today, it’s more important than ever to embrace preventive measures for the disease instead of focusing on treatment alone.
In this post, I’ll review some details of tick-transmitted Lyme disease, as well as discuss the ways in which all-natural Cryptolepis Lyme disease support may help those suffering from this devastating disease.
Lyme Disease Symptoms
According to Bay Area Lyme Foundation, Lyme disease symptoms vary greatly depending on a range of factors such as infections strain, duration of infection, and heterogeneity of the immune system.
Some common early symptoms of Lyme disease include a rash that may occur between 3 and 30 days from the day of tick infection. Sometimes you may see a reddening at the affected site. Over time, the rash expands up to 12 inches and may be itchy or occasionally painful. Some people may develop the rash on many parts of the body. Some people also experience fever, body aches, swollen lymph, headache, fatigue, and chills.
If left untreated, the symptoms may worsen. Some people suffer from one or more of the following:
- Erythema Migrans: This condition occurs when the rash extends to other parts of the body.
- Joint Pain: Some people experience pain in the knees and joints.
- Neurological Problems: Neuro Lyme can at times result in limb weakness and temporary paralysis.
Cryptolepis Lyme disease support may not only help to address these symptoms but also has the potential to help prevent these symptoms from occurring in the first place. Let me explain what I mean.
Cryptolepis Lyme Disease Support
Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, which is usually transmitted to the body through a tick bite. Treating the disease requires remedies that offer antibacterial properties against the causative bacteria and anti-inflammatory properties against symptoms that occur to the host.
Cryptolepis Lyme support is based on the herb’s anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Preliminary studies document that the herb is effective in supporting treatment of Lyme disease without side effects as compared with chemically engineered drugs. In addition, Cryptolepis sanguinolenta use is common in China, India, and, increasingly, North America and other parts of the world.
In particular, all-natural Cryptolepis herbal extract has shown potential antibacterial activity against tick-borne infections such as Lyme Borrelia burgdorferi and Bartonella henselae. The presence of bioactive compounds such as cryptolepine, the main alkaloid in the herb, has shown effective activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Cryptolepis may have an important supportive role in the need to develop novel treatment strategies against persister microcolonies of Borrelia burgdorferi. A study in Frontiers in Medicine found Cryptolepis to be highly active in vitro against both growing Borrelia burgdorferi and non-growing stationary phase Borrelia burgdorferi. As the authors note, “In subculture studies, only 1% Cryptolepis sanguinolenta extract caused complete eradication, while doxycycline and cefuroxime and other active herbs could not eradicate B. burgdorferi stationary phase cells as many spirochetes were visible after 21-day subculture.”
This indicates that seven all-natural herbals showed activity against Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Of those seven, only Cryptolepis completely eradicated B. burgdorferi.
Why Choose Linden Botanicals for Cryptolepis Lyme Support
We use a dual-stream method designed to capture a full spectrum extraction of Cryptolepis. And our all-natural Cryptolepis herbal extract is yellowish-brown — as it should be — not bright yellow.
Most importantly, we are at the forefront of using Cryptolepis to support Lyme treatment protocols, pioneering a new era of hope for those affected by this debilitating disease.
In sum, this scientific study indicates seven herbs showed activity against Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Of those seven, only Cryptolepis completely eradicated B. burgdorferi.
Here are a couple questions we get a lot: “Some companies sell Cryptolepis at a higher price. Is theirs better quality? Other companies sell Cryptolepis for less, so why shouldn’t I buy theirs?”
What they’re really asking is this: Why should I buy Cryptolepis from Linden Botanicals?
We have a deep understanding of the plant, its constituents, and how best to extract them. We use a dual-stream method that captures a full spectrum of health benefits. And our all-natural Cryptolepis herbal extract is yellowish-brown — as it should be — not bright yellow or muddy red.
All-natural Cryptolepis herbal extract should be yellowish-brown instead of bright yellow due to its natural composition and the extraction process. The yellowish-brown color indicates that the extract contains the full spectrum of active compounds from the plant, including alkaloids like neocryptolepine and other beneficial constituents. A bright yellow color might suggest that the extract has been overly processed or that artificial colors have been added, which could mean it lacks some of the natural, health-promoting properties of a less refined, more authentic product.
Most importantly, we’re at the forefront of using Cryptolepis to support Lyme treatment protocols, pioneering a new era of hope for those affected by this debilitating disease.
As with all our products, our Cryptolepis is priced fairly, and it’s the real deal.
Cryptolepis Lyme Support, Antibacterial Support, and Anti-Inflammatory Support
Cryptolepis as an Antibacterial: Cryptolepis contains a range of bioactive compounds such as neocryptolepine, biscryptolepine, cryptoquindoline, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and catechins.
Neocryptolepine is the main bioactive compound that has shown putative antibacterial properties against a range of Gram-positive bacteria. Neocryptolepine is a compound derived from a plant used in traditional medicine. It has several potential health benefits. Research suggests that it might help fight infections because it can kill bacteria and parasites. It’s also being studied for its potential to combat cancer cells.
In addition to anti-bacterial qualities, it has shown anti-fungal properties.
Cryptolepis as an Anti-Inflammatory: Neocryptolepine has anti-inflammatory properties, which means it can help reduce swelling and pain. Biscryptolepine has proved to inhibit Cox-2, which causes pain and inflammation. A study conducted in rats showed the herb’s ability to reduce inflammation within the first day.
Persister Desister Kits
Linden Botanicals sells Cryptolepis as an individual herbal extract. We also sell Cryptolepis as one of three all-natural herbal extracts in our proprietary Persister Desister Lyme Support Kits.
In addition to Cryptolepis, kits include Cistus incanus (Rock Rose), which offers significant immune support, dissolves biofilm and supports mitochondrial health. Our Mediterranean Cistus is our best-selling product. The third herbal included in the kits is Phyllanthus niruri (Chanca Piedra), which can help to balance the immune system. It’s an antiviral, antimalarial, and antibacterial. Phyllanthus is the reason we started the company.
