Kritters,
I was astounded to read that too..never thought about it.
...Lyme biotoxins disrupt the fat cell system and if not removed cause a type
of obesity highly resistant to diet and exercise. The critical Leptin hormone
increases and creates a type of bloating, puffiness or abdominal distention
that is demoralizing to those trying to have a healthy weight.....
Now I know how come I don't lose weight no matter what I do. I always thought my hormone levels have changed after pregnancy. But if I think about it...my tic bite was 20 years ago and ever since then I gained weight for no reason. Well I'm not that overweighted but it still bugs me....
And I do have the bloated stomache too sometimes.....
Good to know where this comes from.
If we treat our Lyme will we get back to normal weight again?
You know what? that would be GREAT!
And thank you Seasprite....A++ information!
