Our innovative model of Lyme disease treatment utilizes advanced, research-based integrative therapies to address the multitude of factors that contribute to chronic Lyme infection pathology. We work within a comprehensive diagnostic framework to identify and address co-infections, toxic body burden, nutritional deficiencies, hormone and neurological imbalances and other immune-suppressive and pro-inflammatory factors. By systemically treating these underlying issues in progression, we work to rebuild health step by step.
Once we have strengthened the patient’s core vitality and immunity, we can administer appropriate antimicrobial treatments such as artemisinin compounds and others in combination with adjunctive therapies such as therapeutic apheresis and IV therapy. These additional adjunctive therapies are key strategies that increase treatment efficacy, contribute additional immune and antimicrobial support, reduce inflammation, prevent Herxheimer (die off) reactions, and enhance overall health and vitality.
This is part of our unique expertise and success against Lyme disease and tick-borne illnesses. Our approach begins with the patient.
