Lyme disease (borreliosis) affects 200,000 Europeans per year. Chronic Lyme causes arthritis, fatigue, and neuro-anti-inflammatory-inflammation-natural-remedy">inflammation. Ginger targets these symptoms with its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
Ginger and Lyme Symptoms
Lyme Arthritis
Arthritis is the most frequent symptom of late-stage Lyme. Ginger inhibits COX-2 and TNF-α — the same inflammatory mediators involved in Lyme arthritis. This action is comparable to NSAIDs but without gastric or renal toxicity.
Neuroborreliosis
Neurological Lyme causes neuroinflammation, brain fog, and neuropathic pain. 6-shogaol crosses the blood-brain barrier and reduces microglial activation. INTI's curcuma-poivre-noir-synergie-bienfaits">turmeric enhances this neuroprotection.
Fatigue and Ginger and Immunity
Ginger modulates immunity: it stimulates NK cells and macrophages (fighting Borrelia) while reducing excessive inflammation (cytokine storm) that causes fatigue.
Why Sugar-Free for Lyme
Sugar nourishes Borrelia biofilms and exacerbates systemic inflammation. INTI (1.19 g/100 ml) is compatible with strict anti-inflammatory diets recommended for chronic Lyme.
INTI Protocol for Lyme
- Acute Phase (under antibiotics): 2 INTI shots/day as a supplement
- Chronic Lyme: 3 INTI shots/day (anti-inflammatory-science-utilisation">anti-inflammatory ginger + neuroprotection)
- Post-treatment: 2 INTI shots/day for athletic recovery
Conclusion
Ginger supports Lyme recovery by targeting inflammation, neuroinflammation, and immunity. INTI Drink — ginger + turmeric, sugar-free — is a suitable supplement for the anti-Lyme protocol.
