AHCC® and Managing Lyme Disease Symptoms

Lyme disease is a vector-borne illness that can result in flu-like symptoms including but not limited to fever, headache, fatigue, skin rash, or joint pain due to the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi.

It is transmitted through the bite of an infected tick and can cause inflammation of the skin, joints, muscles, heart, and central nervous system.

Those living with Lyme disease and looking for treatment and management options should turn to physicians and nutritionists who have experience with Lyme disease.

A holistic nutritionist and health coach, Danielle Pashko has experience with Lyme disease– both personally and professionally. As the author of Breaking Your Fat Girl Habits and Smile at Your Challenges and a frequent expert commentator on holistic nutrition, Danielle is a vocal supporter of AHCC® and the benefits it brings to those living with Lyme symptoms.

While you can treat Lyme disease in the early stages, around 10% to 20% of patients, have reported recurring symptoms.

On the Bright Side Podcast with Ben Fuchs, Danielle Pashko has shared…

“Most patients who have Lyme, if you do their bloodwork, they have active viruses that were dormant at one point that are reactivating because their immune system is suppressed.”

This is why it’s important to have an effective mushroom supplementation that can help lower inflammation and target viruses.

While on the WDLB-FM (98.7) News Show, Danielle Pashko goes on to say…

“Mushrooms, especially AHCC, have some really good healing properties for modulating the immune system, and that’s really important because when we have these conditions, our immune system is a bit compromised. We want to make sure we’re having it work as optimally as possible.”

AHCC is an anti-viral and works as a prebiotic to help with the gut microbiome – which is important for treatment. Especially because 70% to 80% of your immune system lives in your gut.

There is no one size fits all health solution out there. Every person is unique and what your body needs depends greatly on genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, and health status.

If you or someone you love is living with Lyme, AHCC can be an important component in a disease management plan. You can be certain you are purchasing authentic AHCC by purchasing from one of these verified brands.
