The allopathic medical system looks for the cause of illness/disease first.  If no cause can be found, then no disease can be named or treated.   Lyme disease is one that is difficult to identify via lab tests so it is hard to diagnose.  However, there are other systems of medicine, such as homeopathy or traditional Chinese medicine, that look at the symptoms or the pattern of symptoms of a disease.  When you visit one of these specialists, you will be amazed at the questions they ask.  They will want to know what makes the symptoms better/worse, if there are disturbances in sleep, if heat/cold aggravates/soothes, etc.  Many patients are relived to be able to talk about ALL their symptoms and have them considered in the diagnostic process.  Once the symptoms are assessed, the therapist will come up with a course of treatment.  The process of healing may be slow, but many patients are responsive.  I would continue to work with your doctor, but I would seek the help of a homeopathic physician or an acupuncturist that has intensive training in Chinese herbal medicine.  Make sure any alternative therapist you consult with has the proper credentials.  To find an acupuncturist/Chinese medicine practitioner, go to http://www.nccaom.org/find.htm

It depends upon where you are located - not all physicians are familiar with treatment and diagnosis of Lyme Disease.\n\nIt is an infectious disease and therefore an "ID" doc is usually the most qualified.\n\nDavid Spach at the University of Washington is very familiar iwth Lyme Disease and other vector borne illnesses.  If you live near a major city or university, you can find someone local.

G'day Joanne F,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nIt is essential if you are studying medicine to have a good understanding of how cells and tissues work. It is also useful to know how particular cells such as blood cells work.\n\nRegards

Biomedical is the común med, when dr r to cientific and they dont get to know the feeling of the person and stuff like that.\nSocial is the medicine that is looking to solve the society problems, cause they think those problems r helping people to get sick. (Such es economy, pollution and stuff)\nAnd holistic studies humans, in all the way: feelings, economy, backround, hows the house they r living, causes, etc to make a diagnostic. So this kind is better. And of course they r not against natural medicine, acupunture, and all the alternatives.\nBiological only gives u a medication that haves been proved by sience.

Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis is an infectious tick-borne disease, caused by the Borrelia spirochete, a gram-negative microorganism.\n\nLyme disease is named after a cluster of cases that occurred in and around Old Lyme and Lyme, Connecticut in 1975. Before 1975, elements of Borrelia infection were also known as "tick-borne meningopolyneuritis", Garin-Bujadoux syndrome, Bannwarth syndrome or sheep tick fever. It is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks.

it is very vital because if you need to look at a organism specially in biology you would be able to see it and study it

The so called "Erythema migrans"  a red circle that gets bigger (migrates) around the area of the tick bite (or did they stich?) anyway, other early symptoms are headache, pain in the joints and muscles gastrointestinal problems sometimes a fewer feel all much like you are getting a cold. should you really be in the early stages of a possible Lyme disease it is treatable with oral Antibiotics (tetracyclins, amoxicillin or makrolides)

In the past medicines were usually discovered by looking at the effect extracts from plants or other materials had on patients. Many treatments were described by the ancient Egyptians on medicinal papyri, these were then added to by the Greeks, Arabs and Europeans. Many of these like Morphine for the treatment of pain are still used today. These early medicines were then used to understand the biological mechanisms by which they work.\nNowadays scientists start with the mechanism and try to find molecules that block that mechanism and hopefully treat the illness. In a laboratory chemists can design and make many. many molecules these are then tested by biologists to see if they have the desired effect. Those molecules that have the correct activity are then subjected to a huge array of tests to see if they work in the illness but also don't cause any unwanted side-effects. This process can take upto ten years and cost 1 billion dollars!\nIf you want to read more try this book\nMeasly Medicine\nA romp through the history of healthcare, from Stone Age trepanning and the dodgy diagnostics of the Middle Ages to modern miracles and medical marvels.\nISBN: 0 439 95581 5.

It's easier to deal with a known than prevent a maybe.\n\nThere are so many crises that they will never get caught up.\n\nSometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics such as doxycycline or amoxicillin. Antibiotic treatment for early Lyme disease is effective, and symptoms usually go away within 3 weeks of treatment. \n\nThe earlier antibiotic treatment is started after infection, the more quick and complete the recovery. Research indicates that if you are given a single dose of the antibiotic doxycycline within 72 hours after being bitten by an infected tick, your chances of developing Lyme disease may be reduced by up to 87%.This treatment may be especially effective for those who live in high-risk areas.\n\nIf Lyme disease is not diagnosed and treated until later problems arise, it may take you a long time to get better or you may require additional treatment.

Biological Sciences such as genetics, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology ,cytology and many others are the fundamentals of the modern medicine. This biological sciences provide useful and vital information to medicine. They might be consider alphabet of the medicine
