Some people recover from tick borne illness rather quickly. However, others improve much more slowly. The difference may be based on genetic predisposition to illness from biotoxins including mold.
Biotoxins from borrelia, bartonella, babesia, mold, yeast, etc can escalate cytokine production causing many symptoms and much hormone imbalance. This biotoxin illness must be addressed along with tick borne infections in order to restore health.
Much information about mold illness can be found at Surviving Mold. The principles listed on that site hold for other types of biotoxin illness, too.
The VCS APTitude Test is an inexpensive and quick test to help understand if biotoxin illness may be involved in your health. If you are adversely affected by biotoxins, this test will indicate a FAIL 92% of the time. False positives (FAILS) are extremely rare. If the test indicates a PASS, you may still have illness from biotoxins especially if you have high artistic talent (visual discernment).
Mycometrics can help you properly test for mold in your home using the ERMI test. Please call them at (732) 355-9018 for information about their test kits. Dr. Bazylewicz recommends this test to determine if your home is a source of mold exposure. She can help you to understand the results of your test.
This synopsis and these slides of the Biotoxin Illness Conference during October 2011 are beneficial for understanding more about this condition if you want to dive even deeper.
Illness from biotoxins is complicated to understand and devastating to your health. However, Dr. Bazylewicz will help you to evaluate your biotoxicity and to support you naturally.

The secret of health
for both mind and body
is not to mourn for the past,
worry about the future,
or anticipate troubles,
but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
