Causes of Muscle Wasting in Lyme, Tick-borne Infections, & Mold Toxicity
Muscle wasting in tick-borne infections, like Lyme disease, and mold toxicity has a number of different causes.
- Increased cytokines from white blood cells fighting the infections or toxins, can lead to muscle wasting.
- Decreased physical activity leading to muscle atrophy and loss of muscle mass.
- Nerve injury from Lyme and Bartonella leads to muscle mass loss. In addition to sending electric signals that make muscles move, nerves also release chemicals that maintain muscle mass.
- Mitochondrial energy factory dysfunction can also lead to muscle mass loss. Mitochondria are the energy factories in each cell.
Support for Muscle Wasting
To improve muscle mass I suggest the following.
- Get moving. Exercise to tolerance. Find an amount of activity you can do that does not lead you to get worse the next day.
- Get rid of the infectious or toxic cause. Decrease your infections with antimicrobial herbs or antibiotics. Use binders to remove mold toxins if you have mold toxicity.
- Lower cytokines with liposomal curcumin 500 mg 3 times a day.
- Promote mitochondria health with Phospholipid Mix + CoQ10 + PQQ 3 pills 1 time a day.
- Improve mitochondria antioxidants with liposomal glutathione 1 tsp 1 time a day.
- Support nerve and mitochondria repair with the peptide called BPC-157. Take BPC-157 500 ug 1 pill 2 times a day. In 1 month if no improvement, then increase to 2 pills 2 times a day.
