A short YouTube clip by Dr. Diane Mueller ("Lyme Disease Die off #shorts", uploaded March 2, 2023) advising patients to avoid Jarisch-Herxheimer-type die-off reactions during Lyme treatment by proceeding very slowly. The speaker warns that pushing treatment faster can increase inflammation, worsen symptoms, and prolong overall treatment time — endorsing a 'tortoise' (slow-and-steady) approach.
To our brain, all these different things can happen. Right. So we really want to avoid these die off reactions as much as possible. And what I train and teach people is like, pushing faster doesn't mean pushing that you're going to get results sooner. Right. So if you push faster and harder and you're like, I can just suffer through it. I'm just going to suffer through it. Oftentimes that'll backfire. And because of the inflammation that is created from that, you can actually have treatment time, take a lot longer. So it is worth going slow. For some people that is going extremely slow. It is worth going slow to make sure that you're not having those types of symptoms. Because typically it's, you know, it's a tortoise and hair thing. And the tortoise in this situation many times will win the race because you're going to.
