What one food vegetarians should avoid when battling Lyme
// Filed in: Lyme Disease Diet
You may be a vegan or vegetarian who eats soy products to increase your protein.
Nurse Jean Reist has treated Lyme patients in her Pennsylvania clinic. She explains the importance of protein in the diet.
Think of it as your weekly tasks of stocking your fridge with healthy foods and taking out the garbage. That’s similar to what occurs inside the lymph nodes on a regularly basis.
Critical trace minerals are transported by protein through the lymph system. If the patient’s diet lacks protein, the lymph system cannot properly do its job of delivering nutrients to the cells and taking out the toxins.
So she suggests vegetarians help out by adding a small amount of animal protein to their diet while battling the Lyme bacteria.
Eggs, whey, fish okay — but not soy.
Reist cautions against soy products because soy is high in copper. Lyme patients must also try to rid our bodies of an overload of metals, among them lead, aluminum, mercury, and copper.
