Everything you need to know about Lyme!
Lyme disease is the number one spreading vector borne epidemic in the U.S. and Europe.There are multiple species of which we don't even have testing for yet. It mimics other chronic diseases accounting for increased burden of those suffering from chronic illness. Modes of transmission of tick-borne diseases are increasing. Lyme disease is the "great imitator", imitating CFS, fibromyalgia, autoimmune and psych disorders.
Update from The 18TH Annual Lyme & Other Tick-Borne Diseases Conference - What Clinicians Need to Know about an Expanding Epidemic
90% of all bacteria hide in biofilms. B. Burgdorferi can tranform from motile spirochetes into round body and biofilm forms in the presence of antimicrobial agents. Biofilm formation enhances antibiotic resistance of the organism to various antimicrobial agents which previously showed success.
Most of our patients who have received oral and multiple I.V. antibiotics have said, "The treatment put me behind 2-3 years"
Ozone breaks down biofilms. We find that patient have the fastest recovery with weekly I.V. ozone and at home rectal insufflations and ozone water consumed daily.
Everyone with Lyme should get Ozone chelation.
Essential oils can be just as effective as doxycycline - Oregano oil, Cinnamon bark and Clove bud are being studied at John Hopkins and this will be published later this year
We are now partnered with an incredible lab - Empire City Labs. They accept most insurances, do not do balance billing and do your blood draw in your home at the time and day that is convenient for you.
Instead of shelling out 700.00 plus dollars for a complete Lyme and co-infection work-up, the tests are usually covered by insurance. We can do Mycotoxin, food allergies, immune, autoimmune, genomics and much more for no cost to the patient.
We see new Lyme patients each week who have seen 10-12 doctors. They are misdiagnosed for 6-8 years.
Emerging pandemic disease outbreaks threaten global public health. The underlying factors that contribute to disease outbreaks are mostly related to environmental changes, ticks are emerging 3 weeks earlier due to climate change.
Don't be fooled by cooler weather. Use all your precautions all year round. In the Northeast, we are having unusually warm weather in February.
"Tick-bite victims who have B-negative blood type are at highest risk for developing a red meat allergy."
Lyme disease can present itself as an acute or chronic illness. Acute symptoms include flu like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, swollen glands, sore throat, nausea and vomiting, headaches, stiff neck, photophobia. Bells' palsy and other neurological symptoms and rash are common. There are over 38 symptoms currently associated with Chronic Lyme disease.
Symptoms can come and go, giving the infected person "good and bad" days. The symptoms are also influences by hormonal cycles, and antibiotics may increase or decrease symptoms.
We test and treat Lyme and co-infections. Ozone Therapy is a safe and effective treatment for Lyme and co-infections. Let's discuss which Lyme test is the best test for you. You have testing choices and treatment options.
