Early-Stage Breast Cancer and Chronic Lyme Disease Treatment - Lauren's Envita Review
After losing her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother to breast cancer, Lauren was determined to seek advanced care for herself, going beyond the scope of standard oncology. “I lost my mother when she was only 45 and I was barely 19 to Triple Negative Breast Cancer, as well as my grandmother and great-grandmother,” said Lauren, who was also diagnosed with Lyme disease. To treat both her conditions, Lauren traveled with her family from North Carolina to Envita Medical Centers, a Center of Excellence for Precision Integrative Oncology and Lyme Disease treatment, located in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Lyme and Breast Cancer Connection
With her long family history of breast cancer, Lauren had always tried to do her best to prevent it by gaining a better understanding of its causative factors and being extra vigilant about screening and self-examination. When she felt a swollen lymph node during one such self-examination, she followed it up with an ultrasound but was disappointed with the way it was addressed in the standard oncology system. “They were dismissing my immune health; they were dismissing my Lyme; they weren't looking to see how those underlying infections could be impacting what was going on,” said Lauren.
She understood that Lyme disease, which is a tick-borne infection, may impact the immune system, and in her case, the impact would have been greater as she had been experiencing symptoms of Lyme disease since she was a child. The immune system is your first and last line of defense against cancer, which is why Lauren felt that, with a weakened immune system and a strong family history of breast cancer, she needed a more proactive approach to treat her conditions.
All Under One Roof Experience
“I was impressed with how Envita connects the dots,” said Tim, Lauren's husband. Envita's comprehensive approach, which not only targets the disease but also addresses its core causative factors while rebuilding the patient's immune system, appealed to him. His wife benefited greatly from this precision-targeted approach, which combines the latest in conventional medicine with research-based natural therapies. “I don't think you would have made it with the standard of care dose,” he said, reiterating the benefits of some of Envita's proprietary treatments, such as GTFC™ (Genetically Targeted Fractionated Chemotherapy), CIPI™ (Chemo Immuno Precision Injection), and IRAD™ (Insulin Receptor Antibiotic Delivery).
GTFC™ is Envita's proprietary low-dose chemotherapy that enhances the mechanisms of action against cancerous cells with minimal impact on adjoining healthy cells and the immune system as a whole. It is based on detailed genomic analysis, which helps determine the most appropriate chemotherapy agents for each individual patient, significantly improving their chances of response while minimizing side effects. Lauren also benefited from Envita's minimally invasive interventional radiology procedure called CIPI™, which is designed to deploy targeted chemotherapy and immunotherapy agents directly at the tumor site. “I think for me to be able to do the CIPI™ and the cryoablation and not have to go straight to surgery was huge for me,” added Lauren. She also experienced a significant improvement in brain fog and other neurological symptoms of Lyme after undergoing IRAD™, which is specifically designed to breach the blood-brain barrier and impact the Lyme-causing bacteria hiding in the central nervous system.
Her Envita Connection
“I was reading a chapter book to my daughter, and I was able to read it so fluently. . . I didn't realize how bad my brain fog and the cognitive impacts of Lyme were until that moment when there was just this clarity,” said Lauren. Their family feels grateful to have found Envita at a time when she had already been diagnosed with Lyme and had noticed certain signs of breast cancer, which she had always been apprehensive about.
Lauren's husband, Tim, found Envita online and appreciated the precision-targeted approach. The fact that they had acquaintances who had successfully recovered after receiving treatment at Envita, encouraged them further to seek care. “We did so much research, and there was no place that offered all of the things under one roof that Envita did!” added Lauren as she gears up to slide into her daily routine and enthusiastically read many more chapter books to her daughters, with happy endings just like hers!
