Infections are age-related because as we live our body gathers more and more exposure to organisms which cause infections. These age-related infections like Lyme disease and other infections can be incredibly debilitating. Not only do they cause physical symptoms that are difficult to manage, but they can also have long-term-effects on every part of your body.
Age-related infections like Lyme disease and other infections can be incredibly debilitating. Not only do they cause physical symptoms that are difficult to manage, but they can also have long-term psychological effects.
As we age, our immune system weakens and can no longer protect us from infections or cancer. In addition, it is unable to adequately promote proper wound healing. Conversely, aging can also be caused by the infection itself.
Studies have revealed that those with chronic diseases such as CMV, EBV, and HIV aged up to five years more than non-infected patients.
Therapy for Lyme and other infections is essential to reduce symptoms, manage the disease, and improve quality of life. Antibiotics are the most commonly used treatments, which can act as a preventative measure against future infections. Other therapies include physical, occupational, cognitive-behavioral, and more.
