"After several treatments didn't work, Delaney was losing what little hope remained until he spoke with a friend about eight months ago who introduced him to Jennifer Baer, a nurse practitioner in Chatham N.Y., who specializes in Lyme.
Baer, who sees roughly 700 people per year, said Delaney had one of the most advanced and debilitating infections she'd seen. She quickly put him on a weekly intravenous therapy of antibiotics and herbs mixed in a high dosage of Vitamin C.
"Vitamin C is good for any kind of chronic illness, but especially Lyme," she said. "When it's given in a high dose, it's converted into a pro-oxidant, almost like hydrogen peroxide, which alkalinizes in the body."
According to Baer, the Borrelia bacteria can't live in a highly alkaline environment and although it doesn't directly kill the infection, it destroys its habitat."
