One of the things a Lyme Literate Doctor will do is put you on several things at once. An antibiotic to kill the bacteria aspect, an anti-parasitic to kill the parasites, and a biofilm buster to wear down the outer lining of the cysts the bacteria form and force the baby bacteria out into the bloodstream before they are ready where they are killed by the antibiotics. This is why you never use a biofilm buster without starting antibiotics a week or so in advance and continuing to take it for weeks, months, even years afterwards. They all work in sync, if one is missing, you're body and its ability to fight Lyme bacteria is out of sync.

Biofilm busters can be medications, but some really good ones are stevia (never use stevia in food or drinks for sweeteners unless you are on an antibiotic, it helps release the bacteria into the blood otherwise with nothing set up to kill them off). Stevia makes some people very sick, because they don't know they have tick diseases...
