Chronic Lyme Disease Complex Treatment

Going Beyond Standard Healthcare’s Antibiotic Treatment for a Holistic Recovery from Lyme Disease

Those long bouts of debilitating joint pain, intermittent memory fog, and sudden seizures caused by Lyme disease, a tick-borne infection, may not get resolved with standard antibiotic treatment alone. At Envita Medical Centers, an Integrative Center of Excellence for Lyme Disease Treatment, we often see patients struggling to cope with their symptoms despite receiving standard antibiotic treatment.

How Does Envita Offer Holistic Treatments for Lyme Disease?

Our expertise in Lyme disease treatment lies in identifying the coinfections and other factors which complicate this tick-borne disease. To address these unique set of factors affecting each individual patient, we use personalized proprietary treatments which combine advanced conventional and natural therapies.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends oral or intravenous antibiotics as the standard treatment for Lyme disease, but antibiotics alone may not be effective for many patients. In our peer-reviewed and published article, "Chronic Lyme Disease: Persistent Clinical Symptoms Related to Immune Evasion, Antibiotic Resistance and Various Defense Mechanisms of Borrelia burgdorferi," we explain how the bacteria Borrelia Burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease, is unique in its ability to reduce its exposure to antibiotics in chronic patients. Due to this elusive feature of the bacteria, treating it with antibiotics alone may not be comprehensive enough to counter Lyme disease.

Causes and Symptoms of Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, which generally gets transmitted through a tick bite. It is one of the most prevalent tick-transmitted infections in the United States.

When a deer tick, carrying the bacterial infection, bites a human, it can transmit this infectious disease, along with a variety of other disease-causing pathogens, such as viruses and other microorganisms. In certain instances, patients may notice a red “Bull’s eye” rash called Erythema Migrans, a few days after the infected tick bites them. Apart from this rash, some of the early symptoms of Lyme disease may include:

Headache
Fever
Exhaustion
Musculoskeletal Pain
When a deer tick, carrying the bacterial infection, bites a human, it can transmit this infectious disease

In such cases of early Lyme disease, the IDSA (Infectious Diseases Society of America) guidelines recommend an oral course of antibiotics for 10 to 14 days, and 14 to 21 days antibiotic treatment for chronic symptoms of neurologic Lyme.

While standard oral antibiotic treatment may be enough for early-stage Lyme disease, in our clinical experience, antibiotics alone cannot effectively treat the chronic neurological and psychological symptoms, which often manifest in the later stage of the disease.

Chronic Symptoms

Many Lyme disease patients suffering with chronic symptoms have no recollection of developing a rash or even receiving a tick bite. In such cases, the bacteria B.burgdorferi spreads unchecked through the blood stream, at times going past the blood brain barrier, triggering a series of chronic symptoms, such as, facial palsy, muscle stiffness, or other disorders of the central nervous system, called neuroborreliosis.

These chronic symptoms often manifest years after the tick-bite incident and mimic the signs of other neurological or autoimmune disorders, which makes the diagnosis of Lyme disease difficult for inexperienced doctors.

At Envita, our Lyme disease experts have helped countless patients reclaim their life by identifying and treating the root cause of their symptoms, which is often directly related to B.burgdorferi, the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease, and its coinfections.

The below image from our published study on "Borrelia Burgdorferi: Cell Biology and Clinical Manifestations in Latent Chronic Lyme" shows the similarity of symptoms between Lyme disease and other commonly misdiagnosed diseases:

Symptoms found in chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and Parkinson’s
	disease
Table 1. The following diagram is to better explain why certain conditions can be confused with symptoms associated with chronic Lyme disease. The symptoms found in chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and Parkinson’s disease are not exhausted in this table since the goal is to document the overlap of symptoms. Of the diseases listed in this table, the symptoms of fibromyalgia are more closely related to chronic Lyme disease. Issues in diagnosing Lyme disease over fibromyalgia is complicated by poor serologic diagnostic criteria associated with detecting Bb.

Difference Between Chronic Lyme Disease and Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS)

Lyme disease is not only challenging to diagnose, but despite diagnosis, effective treatment may be difficult if healthcare providers do not tackle the infectious load often accompanying the disease. We have published extensively about "Chronic Lyme Disease Complex and Its Commonly Undiagnosed Primary and Secondary Co-infections," to help patients receive a proper diagnosis and comprehensive treatment.

However, Chronic Lyme Disease Complex is different from Post-Lyme Disease Syndrome (PLDS) , also called Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS). The CDC defines PTLDS as symptoms of pain, fatigue, or difficulty thinking that lasts for more than 6 months after treatment completion. In our clinical opinion, these debilitating symptoms are experienced by patients whose Chronic Lyme Disease coinfections are left untreated, due to the lack of proper diagnosis and treatment.

Why Standard Healthcare Blood Tests May Not Detect Lyme Disease

Healthcare providers are sometimes compelled to treat presumptively because the standard blood tests may not detect Lyme disease or the accompanying co-infections accurately. Presumptive treatment does not help in uprooting the Chronic Lyme coinfections, which is why we see patients whose Lyme disease symptoms return a few weeks or months after completing treatment at standard healthcare facilities.

Standard healthcare providers utilize ELISA (Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and Western Blot tests to confirm the diagnosis, but both tests depend on your immune system response. If your immune system is weakened due to any reason, such as heavy infectious load from Lyme coinfections, there are high chances of a false negative in this two-tiered test.

The ELISA test detects antibodies, a type of protein, generated by your immune system in response to the bacterium B. burgdorferi, but if your immune system is weakened then it will not produce the antibody, leading to a false negative result.
Generally, if patients test negative in ELISA, they are not even recommended for the Western Blot, which is a confirmatory test to help in determining the presence or absence of certain proteins.
E7 destroys pRb protein, infected cell multiplies exponentially

At Envita, we see many patients with chronic symptoms of Lyme disease who have been falsely testing negative for Lyme in ELISA or Western Blot, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment for years. Even the latest update to the Current Efforts in Lyme Disease Research report by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), one of the institutes of National Institute of Health (NIH), highlights the need for improved Lyme disease diagnostics.

Lyme Disease May Lead to Cancer

The consequences of an unidentified Lyme infection can be severe, including prolonged hospital stays, chronic symptoms, and in certain cases trigger autoimmune disorders and cancers. Based on our clinical experience of treating cancer patients for decades, we have published about how the bacteria B.burgdorferi can lead to cancers, in our medical study titled "Cancer and Infectious Causes". To avoid such severe consequences, it is crucial to get an accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment.

Envita’s Advanced Lyme Tests to Overcome Challenges in Diagnosis

At Envita, we utilize advanced genetic DNA Lyme tests to improve accuracy of detection of not just Lyme disease, but other tick-borne pathogens and associated co-infections as well. Unlike standard blood tests, which detect antibodies produced by your immune system in response to the Lyme bacteria, our specialized tests are not dependent on the patient’s immune response. They are designed to detect the DNA/RNA of Lyme bacteria and other accompanying pathogens, which often remain undetected in standard blood tests.

The advanced genetic DNA Lyme tests and the clinical experience of our specially trained team of Lyme Literate Doctors serve as a powerful combination to help patients progress towards a holistic recovery. Our physicians understand the complexities of Lyme disease and how other infections like viral, fungal, and parasitic, often accompany Lyme disease, complicating the process of diagnosis and treatment. Timely detection of these pathogens and understanding their impact on each patient’s immune system is a critical step for custom-designing comprehensive protocols for each individual Lyme patient.

Envita's Lyme Disease Treatments Address Overlooked Factors in Standard Healthcare

Our detailed testing paves the way for a comprehensive Lyme disease treatment, including proprietary methodologies, advanced immunotherapy, and next-level detoxing, which is capable of addressing several overlooked factors in standard healthcare, such as:

Focus on Advanced N-of-1 Clinical Trial Without Long-Term Antibiotic Therapy

At Envita, we tackle all the above factors without prolonging antibiotic therapy for long durations. Our Lyme literate doctors are aware of the side effects of long-term antibiotic therapy, which could be a weakened immune system activating other latent infections and aggravating disease symptoms.

To counter all these challenges, speed healing-time, and enhance patients’ quality of life, we focus on an advanced N-of-1 treatment model, which is a single-subject clinical trial. In this model, we custom-built a treatment plan for each individual patient to optimize benefits, unlike large sample clinical trials which focus on testing the efficacy of a new treatment.

Powerful Combination Treatments Developed by Lyme Literate Doctors (LLD)

Our treatment regimens combine the best of conventional and natural therapies, which are personalized to tackle each patient’s unique set of Lyme disease coinfections. We may use a combination of our proprietary treatments, like IRAD (Insulin Receptor Antibiotic Delivery), advanced immunotherapy, and next-level detoxing, depending on each patient’s infectious load.

IRAD (Insulin Receptor Antibiotic Delivery)

We use IRAD to kill the pathogens, which cross the blood-brain barrier and attack your central nervous system. Simple oral medication typically is not strong enough to penetrate the blood brain barrier, but IRAD, our proprietary treatment, is deployed intravenously to help shuttle the antibiotics past the blood brain barrier into the central nervous system. When patients manifest psychological or neurological symptoms, such as brain fog, memory loss, or neuropathy, we generally use IRAD, along with other targeted treatments, to tackle their condition.

IRAD is a deeper delivery of selected antibiotics and targeted agents to treat neurological infections.
It addresses disruption in brain chemistry, caused by these neurotoxin releasing pathogens.
Balancing out the neurotransmitters can heal inflammation and improve sleep cycle, paving your road to recovery.

Advanced Immunotherapy

The immune system is your first and last defense against all diseases so strengthening it is extremely crucial for holistic healing. Our immunotherapy is far more advanced than drinking smoothies and taking supplements, as we take it to the next level in the following ways:

By administering adjunctive treatments, which can counter multi-drug resistance often seen in Chronic Lyme Disease coinfections.
We custom-design medicines at our in-house pharmacy based on advanced phytotherapeutics, including plant extracts and herbs, to reestablish the immune system.
Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants are also used to help in holistic recovery.

Next-Level Detoxing

Just killing the infection is not enough because sometimes their die-off may trigger additional symptoms, making detoxing is a critical part of the treatment process, in most cases.

We clean and filter the blood through specialized cartridges used in a technologically advanced filtration system.
Our detoxing process is designed to help filter and flush out any toxins, molds, heavy metals, and potentially any die-off of Lyme co-infections. The die-off can release neurotoxins into the body, which causes a Herxheimer reaction, a condition when symptoms worsen due to infection die-off. Flushing out the toxins helps reduce chances of herxing.
These toxins decrease the efficacy of pain medications, as they compete for the same receptor sites in your brain. Flushing out the toxins helps patients respond better to pain medications which are helpful in relieving certain symptoms of Lyme disease.
Biofilms protect the pathogens from the effect of oral antibiotics, which is why we strip them off with integrative agents, optimizing the impact of medicines.
