The only western medicine treatment for Lyme disease is for ACUTE Lyme disease. The patient would be given 3 weeks of antibiotics if they have been bitten by a tick recently and knew it (bulls eye rash, for example). This would cure them of Lyme disease.
There is NO treatment in western medicine (besides antibiotics, which have been proven to not work for chronic Lyme disease) and there is no cure. Many people die from chronic Lyme disease.
