Make Well - lab testing

When you talk about chronic Lyme disease and Morgellons, you’re talking about two very misunderstood conditions. Both have a somewhat controversial standing within the mainstream medical community; in fact, both disorders are not recognised as fully legitimate by any official medical body, despite thousands upon thousands of cases cropping up all over the world. Both are complicated to treat, and the full spectrum of symptoms for both are not completely understood. But until recently, there was no reason to think that Morgellons disease was a symptom of Lyme disease. However, new research has suggested the opposite. Are Lyme disease and Morgellons linked? And if so, does Lyme disease cause Morgellons, is Morgellons a symptom of Lyme disease, or is there some other connection between the two?

First of all, let’s look at each disease individually, starting with the one we understand better. While there is plenty of confusion surrounding chronic Lyme disease and its symptoms, we certainly have a better grasp of it than Morgellons. Lyme disease is caused by the Borrelia strain of bacteria, spread to humans mainly via tick bite. The first stage of Lyme is known as the acute phase, and unless you’ve actively realised you’ve been bitten, you may simply write it off as a bout of flu. The tell-tale symptom unique to Lyme is the bullseye rash that forms at the site of the bite; but if you’re unaware of it, it’s easily missed. The acute phase recedes after a few days or weeks, and at this point starts to transition to the chronic phase. The bacteria may lie dormant for many weeks or months before re-emerging in the chronic form. Patients rarely conflate the symptoms with Lyme, as it’s so far removed from the initial bite.

The symptoms caused by chronic Lyme disease are varied, and differ from patient to patient. They can also range in severity, making it hard to pinpoint exactly where one begins and the next ends. However, we do understand the basic mechanism behind the disease, and why it’s so hard to treat. In chronic Lyme, the bacteria’s role recedes, and the symptoms caused by infection lessen. In their place, symptoms caused by inflammation, i.e. the body’s response to the infection, increase dramatically. Faced with a long-term invasion it can’t seem to overcome, the immune system kicks into overdrive, causing chronic symptoms like irrepressible fatigue, joint pain and muscle aches, as well as potential neurological complications. There is no easy way to cure chronic Lyme; treatment must comprise of tackling the inflammation and infection aspects simultaneously.

Skin lesions and excessive scratching are symptoms of Morgellons disease.

Morgellons is an altogether more mysterious disease. Discovered and named in 2001 by Mary Leitao, the disorder results in some of the strangest symptoms possible, and yet still bizarrely is considered an outlier condition stemming from mental health issues. Patients of Morgellons report various symptoms, all unpleasant. The most prominent are the lesions and sores that cover the patient’s body. These usually cause constant itching sensations, and often are made worse by the inevitable incessant scratching. More bizarre still are the threads of coloured material which seem to emerge from these lesions; coloured predominantly blue, red, white and black, these threads can sometimes be identified underneath skin, and other times emerging from the lesion itself. In addition, patients often think there is some insect-like infestation under the skin, and report constant irritation alongside fatigue and difficulty concentrating.

Morgellons has regularly stumped any medical professional who’s examined it, leading many to write it off as delusional parasitosis – a purely mental disorder where patients believe that bugs are crawling around inside their skin. But this completely ignores the physical manifestations of the disorder, which are extremely prominent in sufferers. As the medical community grappled (and continues to grapple) with Morgellons, research was conducted that suggested that the disorder was related to chronic Lyme disease. But are Lyme disease and Morgellons linked? Or is it just an attempt to align a confounding, controversial disorder under the umbrella of another? Well, the research would suggest that the former is true. In a study titled ‘Clinical evaluation of Morgellons disease in a cohort of North American patients’ published in Dermatol reports, 1000 Lyme patients were tested for Morgellons disease. 60% were found to have the disorder. This number definitively concludes a link between Lyme disease and Morgellons, and implies that Morgellons is in essence a potential symptom of a chronic Borrelia infection.

Make Well - microscope — More research is needed into the specifics of Morgellons disease.

According to the report, as well as many doctors who have taken the time to study and examine Morgellons and its patients, Morgellons disease is a dermatological condition whose affects are associated with spirochetal infection. The disorder is associated with overproduction of keratin and collagen in cutaneous tissue, hence the strange-coloured threads of fibre that seem to grow out of the patient’s body. Unfortunately, like chronic Lyme, treating it is no easy task, and the first goal is always to have it medically recognised as a legitimate disorder. The Charles E. Holman Foundation is doing great work at a grassroots level, providing support for patients while simultaneously researching the disease, its causes and its effects. German company Make Well has recently added a Morgellons-specific product to their line-up, named MRG Derm. This joins their array of all-natural supplements intended to support the treatment of chronic conditions like Lyme disease and Morgellons and has been specifically designed to aid wound healing for skin lesions. Further research like the study above will hopefully cement Morgellons as a potential side effect of Lyme disease, and encourage more studies into its successful treatment.

What Is pH?

The pH scale is a way of measuring how acidic or basic (alkaline) a water-based solution is. Chemically speaking, your blood, for example, is actually a water-based solution, although not all of its components are dissolved. Your blood plasma contains 90% water, and it makes up more than half of your overall blood volume.

The range of the pH scale is between 0–14. A pH reading of 7 is neutral. Below 7 is acidic and anything higher than 7 is alkaline or basic. As the pH is based on a logarithmic scale, the difference between each number is quite significant. For instance, a pH of 3 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 4, and a pH of 12 is 10 times more alkaline than a pH of 11. Therefore, a pH of 13 is 100 times more alkaline than pH of 11, and so on.

The Ideal Blood pH

The blood’s pH balance must be within a certain, very limited range in order to maintain overall health. Your body carefully regulates the pH levels of your blood, with the lungs and the kidneys playing an important role in controlling these levels. The body’s most important buffering system is the bicarbonate buffering system.

The healthy range of blood pH is slightly alkaline at 7.35 to 7.45. Several factors may alter the levels of blood pH, such as food and anything else you ingest. Abnormal kidney, lung and endocrine function can lead to an imbalance of blood pH, and so can the excessive loss of body fluids (vomiting, diarrhoea, sweating) and some infections.

If the strictly regulated blood pH falls under 7.35, the body is in a state of acidosis. It is important to distinguish between respiratory acidosis (wherein not enough carbon dioxide is lost via respiration) and metabolic acidosis (as occurs in chronic kidney disease or diabetes, as the buffering systems cannot buffer occurring acids anymore). On the contrary, a blood pH above 7.45 is considered an alkalosis. Both are serious conditions and are not to be confounded with regular food-related acid base metabolism.

Make Well - Xray — Acidosis can cause arthritis and bone damage.

Blood pH and the Immune System

Normal levels of blood pH are essential for the immune system to operate at its full capacity. If the blood becomes too acidic, immune function weakens.

A reading of blood pH that’s outside the healthy range may indicate some form of illness. Medical conditions that can cause an imbalance of blood pH include diabetes, heart disease, asthma, gout, haemorrhages and abnormal bleeding, poisoning or drug overdose.

Altered blood pH levels affect the ability of white blood cells to respond to any potentially harmful intruders, such as viruses and bacteria. As a result, the entire immune system may become disrupted due to an excessive extracellular pH imbalance. Acidosis may also damage the kidneys, bones and muscles.

Blood pH and Chronic Illness

All of the cells in your body generate certain waste products as part of their natural metabolic processes. Most of these waste products are acidic, and they are eliminated from your system via various channels, such as urination and perspiration. That’s why urine and sweat are slightly acidic.

A healthy blood pH balance is crucial for your body’s waste elimination mechanisms to function properly. The accumulation of these acidic waste products is assumed to be linked to a variety of health problems, including weight gain, clogged arteries, arthritis, kidney stones and a number of other chronic illnesses.

If you already have a chronic illness, such as Lyme disease, a blood pH imbalance makes a complete recovery more difficult. Chronic Lyme disease may rear its head months or even years after the transmission of the infection through a tick bite. When this happens, it’s caused by the weakening of the immune system due to another medical condition, stress or environmental factors. Since an abnormal blood pH leads to the disruption of immune function, restoring it to its healthy levels can boost the body’s natural defences against the bacteria – making the relationship between blood pH and Lyme disease an important one.

Testing for pH

The pH level of urine is frequently measured by many patients. However, only free acids can be determined, which only account for approximately 1%. Hence, the blood pH or a chronic latent acidosis cannot be concluded from urine pH results. Nevertheless, measuring the urine’s pH several times throughout the day may give hints about the overall acid-base balance. Urine pH test strips are available at pharmacies, allowing you to check your pH levels at home.

Although your saliva is also generally more acidic than your blood, it is a fair indicator of your body’s pH balance. A reading of saliva pH can provide information about extracellular fluids and their alkaline mineral reserves. The ideal pH range of saliva at least two hours after a meal is 6.4 to 6.8. If your reading is lower than 6.4, that means your body doesn’t have enough alkaline reserves available to regulate your pH levels effectively. Just after a meal, the saliva’s pH should increase to 7.8 or above. If your reading doesn’t rise accordingly, that indicates a deficiency in alkaline minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. These mineral deficiencies mean that your body is unable to absorb and assimilate food efficiently.

Sodium bicarbonate can help balance pH levels.

The Importance of the Acid Base Balance

It’s important to restore the body’s pH balance as soon as possible after diagnosing latent acidosis. Those wondering how to balance blood pH might have come across common treatments such as intravenous fluids and sodium bicarbonate; making some changes to your diet can also help balance your pH.

Some experts recommend cutting down on strongly acid-forming foods and drinks, such as grains, animal-derived products, vinegar and most alcoholic beverages. You can also take a teaspoon of baking soda (another name for sodium bicarbonate) with a glass of water once a day, since baking soda is strongly alkaline.

In general, it can be said that an overall base-forming diet contains mostly vegetables and low-sugar fruits, no refined flour, sugar or alcohol, and a moderate intake of animal-derived products.
