It is important as one of the nation's leaders in chronic Lyme disease complex, and after nearly two decades of helping patients, to point out how the CDC has missed the mark entirely with their current study and publication on prolonged treatment for Lyme disease. Unfortunately this information is...

Nothing can describe the frustration and powerlessness of being sick and in pain with no clear reason why. Lyme disease is a debilitating and painful disease that all too often goes misdiagnosed or produces false negatives on the traditional Elisa and Western blot Lyme disease tests. However, there...

A deadly virus, Powassan, is gaining attention as one of the more severe Lyme disease co-infections transmitted via tick bites. Lyme disease is typically transmitted with co-infections but this emerging virus is proving to be particularly dangerous with more cases being recently reported in the Nort...

Envita Medical Center has been treating cancer for nearly two decades, in that time they have tested and reviewed thousands of patients and their potential causes of cancer. This accumulation of clinical data has allowed Envita to notice a recurring trend between cancer patients and underlying chron...

After two decades of published research and investigating numerous clinical cases on Lyme disease, we bring you a powerful perspective that can be found nowhere else. These seven commonly overlooked factors for treating Lyme disease may be the key to stopping unneeded suffering for Lyme disease pati...

When it comes to Lyme disease, there is a number of important factors that all must be addressed for proper diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The complications that arise from the many opportunistic co-infections that are traditionally present in Chronic Lyme disease sufferers makes diagnosis...

Over a decade of researching the causes of numerous chronic diseases has led to the realization that tick-borne infections such as Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete responsible for Lyme disease, and its many co-infections are consistently present in patients suffering with chronic disease. Chroni...

In a recent Ted Talk, Professor Turhan Canli from Stony Brook University in New York asked, “Could depression actually be a form of infectious disease?” We say yes! While practicing medicine for 15 years and after treating thousands of patients who had chronic Lyme disease symptoms, our physicians f...

Our medical center, Envita, has just published an important new study which reveals the key complexities that must be addressed to finally overcome Lyme disease. This study explains how chronic Lyme disease ultimately resists most treatments via immune evasion, biofilm formation and constant (surfac...

Diagnostics are lacking, co-infections are rampant and Borrelia is evading the immune system; it is the most complex genome of any bacteria worldwide. Borrelia has a unique antigen shifting capacity which allows the infection to evade the immune system, constantly change its surface and with the hel...

Many patients are spending a lot of time and money on self-treatment for Lyme disease. Oral supplementation of vitamins, herbs, minerals, and amino acids has provided some relief and assistance to patients but it's just not enough. Nearly 100 percent of the patients that come to us have done some su...

After many years of patients not getting well, fresh research shows that biofilm communities may be protecting Lyme disease and other co-infections from full spectrum antibiotic therapy effectiveness. The good news is that there are new, essential treatment strategies addressing antibiotic treatment...

Treating Lyme disease comprehensively isn't as easy as it sounds. Our vast clinical experience uncovers why so many patients suffer needlessly and never reach best outcomes. With the huge underreported number of cases and despite a burgeoning growth in public awareness, Lyme disease for so many is s...

A fate worse than death. That's how many see Alzheimer's and dementia, terrifying diseases that slowly eat away at cognitive function, crippling memory, perception, motor function and language ability until very little remains of the mind. But some new clinical and functional medicine findings may h...

Throughout America and Canada, a staggering number of patients suffer from memory loss, joint pain, flu-like symptoms, chronic fatigue and muscle aches, among other complex neurological symptoms. Strangely, these patients are being told their condition is all in their head. Even when diagnosed corre...

The misconception and vast misdiagnosis of tick borne illness such as Lyme disease may in-fact be leading to many patients unnecessarily suffering of chronic health conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and autoimmune diseases. These conditions curiously share many of the same clinical sy...

If you've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, you know better than anyone the pain, frustration and anxiety associated with this difficult to define disease. Ask anyone what the worst part about fibromyalgia (FMS) is and they might list the numbness, pain, difficulty sleeping, irritable bowel syndrome...

Suffering from diseases like fibromyalgia, chronic Lyme disease complex or autoimmune diseases is bad enough, not to mention finding a medical center that can diagnosis and treat the problem correctly, but one of the lesser-known side-effects of chronic disease is accelerated aging throughout the bo...

Dieting is one of the most important keys to recovering from chronic disease and cancer. You see, even a relatively healthy person that falls ill needs to facilitate their body, as their immune system is incredibly taxing on the body's need for nutrients. This is especially important for patients of...

Suffering from Lyme disease is never easy. Treatments can be complicated and co-infections, (such as additional virus, bacteria, fungal and even parasitic infections, which LLMD's Lyme literate medical doctors identify as Lyme disease complex) can be devastating. While oral antibiotics such as doxyc...

What is the real diagnosis for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome? Does the long list of symptoms that accompany these very real diseases warrant the conventional treatments, such as pain medications, sleep-aids, anti-seizure medications and anti-depressants? Clinically, we have seen in these...

Idiopathic disease is defined as one that develops without any apparent or known causes. That is the term used for fibromyalgia, autoimmune diseases, including lupus and chronic fatigue syndrome. While many of these diseases have recognizable signs and symptoms, the lack of causality haunts medical...

Patients who actually suffer from chronic Ehrlichiosis are often misdiagnosed as having autoimmune disorders or other chronic disease with similar symptomologies, as Ehrlichiosis is generally not tested for. Symptoms typically associated with this infection are a high fever, headache, chills, as wel...

Epstein-Barr (EBV), also known as HHV-4, is a common human herpes virus that will infect virtually everyone on the planet at some point in their lifetimes. It is possible for EBV to remain dormant in the body throughout the entirety of an individual's life span. Typically, the disease is transmitted...

It's a question patients ask us all the time: why doesn't insurance cover natural medicine? The fast answer to the question is that insurance limits our ability to help patients. We will see the convoluted bureaucratic nonsense that feeds one of the world's biggest industries at the expense of patie...

Approximately 80 percent of adults in the United States are infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV), a disease that affects most people across the globe. CMV is a member of the herpes family and shares the common ability to remain alive, yet dormant, in the human body for the life of its human host. Rar...

Anything that is worth doing typically requires more than a single step to complete. Such tasks take time, most of which requiring hard work and sustained effort. One must prepare and implement a strategy and then persevere until the conclusion is reached. With that said, our Lyme disease protocol h...

If Lyme disease is caught early, it can be treated relatively well with a reasonable course of antibiotics. However, most Lyme disease patients and their physicians do not catch it early on, if at all. For patients who have had Lyme disease for more than a year, significantly more extensive treatmen...

First reported in 1986, human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) has since become one of the most widespread members of human herpes viruses and comes in two related variants: HHV-6A and HHV-6B. Though nearly identical, there are differences in their epidemiology and pathogenicity. HHV-6B is acquired in early ch...

Lyme disease, also recognized as "the great imitator," is essentially one of the most misunderstood and widely growing illnesses in our country. Because its symptoms resemble that of so many other diseases and because our conventional medical community continues to be misinformed, stricken patients...

Bartonella are bacteria that live within cells and find human beings quite hospitable. Bartonella henselae is the causative agent of the notorious cat-scratch fever, endocarditis, and several other serious diseases in humans. These bacteria comprise one of Lyme disease complex's most troublesome coi...

Intraerythrocytic parasite Babesia microiti causes Babesiosis, an infection that dwells inside red blood cells. Through asexual budding, the parasite reproduces within the blood cells themselves. It is transmitted by the same tick that transmits B. burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. T...

Idiopathic disease, one that presents without any definitive causes, can have recognizable signs and symptoms. It remains the causality, however, that troubles medical schools, private practices and hospitals. Only pharmaceutical companies benefit from ongoing symptom treatments ordered for CFS, Lup...

Second only to AIDS, Lyme disease is among the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the United States, yet it is widely under-reported and misunderstood. In fact, some estimates suggest the number of Lyme disease cases is 15 times higher than what is reported. This is an extraordinary figure, espe...

The symptomology of Lyme disease is varied and diverse, resulting in significant difficulty in diagnosis. Known as "The Great Imitator," Lyme disease can mimic the symptoms of Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, MS, ALS, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, as well as more than some 350 other diseases....
