Stage 1 - Restoration

The initial stage establishes the foundation for the healing process by addressing issues such as restoring methylation pathways, boosting the immune system, balancing the gut biome, improving neurological function, and repairing other areas compromised by Lyme damage. Failure to address these areas can hinder progress in effectively treating Lyme disease. 

Stage 2 - Detoxification

Successful detoxification cannot occur safely or efficiently without first preparing and restoring the body to optimal function. The detox process involves utilizing methods to remove harmful heavy metals and other toxins from the body, which have a symbiotic relationship with Lyme and facilitate its spread and resistance to treatment. Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity often coincide with those of Lyme disease, exacerbating each other. The multifaceted relationship between Lyme and generalized toxicity and the complications that arise from it cannot be overstated.

 

Stage 3 - Eradication

The third stage focuses on eradicating Lyme disease through a specialized approach using supplements and other protocols. Treatment is administered with precision to mitigate the spectrum of symptoms from Herxheimer reactions, which stem from bacterial die-off. While these stages naturally overlap during the 16-week program, they are primarily segmented to blend maximum efficacy and safety.

Time Involved

 

Each appointment ranges from 45 minutes to an hour and includes a comprehensive treatment regimen comprising of Neurological Integration System, Acupuncture, herbal consultation, red light therapy, PEMF, cold laser therapy, and infrared therapy. Additional therapies like cupping, ear seeds, and PSYCH-K are tailored to individual needs over the 16-week period. Colon hydrotherapy and IV treatments may be recommended if deemed appropriate. Within the 16 weeks, 14 appointments are conducted in person, with 2 conducted remotely. Treatment plans for Lyme disease often extend beyond 6 to 9 months and can span several years. Our focus is on expediting the healing process while prioritizing maximum success and safety throughout the treatment journey.

Recognizing the significant financial burden that treating chronic Lyme disease can impose, I have endeavored to make this program as affordable as possible. Having experienced firsthand the exorbitant costs associated with Lyme treatment and witnessing patients who still suffered serious complications despite spending upwards of $50,000 on an assortment of procedures, I am committed to providing a solution that is accessible to those in need. I understand the difficulties faced by individuals with Lyme disease and have spent years focusing on improving treatment strategieto help restore the quality of life to those impacted.

What is the role of holistic treatment for chronic Lyme and PTLDS?

Holistic medicine plays a significant role in the treatment of chronic Lyme disease, addressing the challenges associated with conventional Lyme treatment. Traditional treatment utilizes  antibiotics such as doxycycline, amoxicillin, cefuroxime to eliminate the infection. While these can be highly effective, their success often depends on early detection and diagnosis. As Lyme disease advances, it creates defenses called biofilms that hinder standard antibiotic therapies and enable it to evade the immune system. UNH has discovered that Lyme bacteria can become up to 1000 times more resistant to antibiotics due to the presence of protective biofilms. Rapidly diagnosing Lyme disease can be challenging, as only a small percentage of people (3-26%) detect the tick that spreads the disease, and fewer than half remember experiencing the distinctive bull’s-eye rash.  Delays in diagnosis are common, as the initial symptoms of fever, extreme fatigue, and achiness are also typical in numerous other conditions. Moreover, diagnostic blood tests may not always be reliable, especially in the early stages of the disease. This results in 60% of patients waiting up to two years to be diagnosed. In addition to biofilms Lyme disease employs other unique strategies to protect itself from eradication, particularly when it establishes deep-rooted infections. Borreila bacteria exhibit pleomorphism, allowing them to adapt their shape and structure based on environmental conditions. The typical spiral shape of Borreila can transform into a cystic form to evade treatment and revert to its original state under favorable conditions. Evidence indicates that conventional antibiotic therapy is not effective for all patients, as a small number of drug-resistant bacteria, known as “persister cells,” can withstand treatment. Research demonstrates a relapse rate of up to 40% 

after antibiotic treatment. In essence, although standard treatment is effective for numerous individuals, swiftly eradicating Lyme disease with antibiotics can pose notable challenges due to issues such as insufficient testing, complex diagnostics, biofilms, and the bacteria’s evasion tactics. These factors can lead to the development of chronic conditions that impact a broad population, including my own encounter with the disease. 

The holistic approach to treating chronic Lyme disease also presents significant challenges. If the standard treatment model fails to achieve complete remission of Lyme, addressing the disease at a later stage can result in a more complex and lengthy list of complications. Lyme is opportunistic, it will exploit any body dysfunction or immune system weakness as a shield or an avenue for further growth. The multifaceted disruptions caused by Lyme and its co-infections in the body’s organ systems, immune response, neurological functions, and joints are already challenging to endure. Moreover, Lyme disease heightens vulnerability to other issues such as mold exposure, extreme stress, latent viral infections, environmental toxins, autoimmunty, heavy metal toxicity, and parasites. Due to the overlapping symptom profiles with conditions like mold exposure, heavy metal toxicity, depression, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, and the reactivation of latent viruses such as Epstein Barr virus, many cases of chronic Lyme disease may be mistaken or overlooked. This intricate interplay complicates both diagnosis and treatment, necessitating a comprehensive therapeutic approach that addresses all contributing factors throughout the healing process. 

Holistic treatments for chronic Lyme disease differ depending on the practitioner and the individual patient. A wide range of generalized protocols and subsets of therapies are employed in Lyme treatment. The effectiveness of these treatments varies widely, as what works well for one person may have limited benefits for another. The complexity of treatment arises from the combination of interconnected issues, previously discussed, making simple solutions challenging to implement.

When addressing Lyme disease, it’s crucial to consider coinfections such as babesia and Bartonella, as well as other parasitic and bacterial factors that may hinder treatment success. Each individual’s circumstances are unique, and treatment protocols should be comprehensive, leaving no potential contributing factors unexplored.

In addition to physical challenges, Lyme disease can take an immense emotional toll on individuals. The array of symptoms and loss of function may lead to feelings of isolation, depression, extreme stress, confusion, and hopelessness, impacting one’s sense of identity. As a healthcare practitioner, it is vital to acknowledge and address these emotional hardships with empathy and any available tools within the scope of their practice. Providing holistic care that encompasses both physical and emotional well-being is essential in supporting individuals on their journey towards recovery from Lyme disease.

Based on my personal Lyme journey, years of research, clinical expertise, and insights from renowned doctors, I’ve created treatment a model that is both structured and tailored to each patient—the Lyme Freedom Blueprint, comprising three phases: restoration, detoxification, and eradication. By acknowledging the intricate nature of Lyme disease and implementing a customized strategy involving the Neurological Integration System, herbal remedies, red light therapy, infrared therapy, acupuncture, cold laser therapy, biofilm disruptors, PEMF, and various other holistic approaches, patients can pursue a comprehensive path to recovery and enhanced well-being. Prioritizing system restoration, and tangential issues, followed by thorough detoxification processes, are essential components of this approach.

Prior to initiating the eradication process, it is essential to restore the immune system to full strength through a series of steps and supportive interventions. Addressing issues such as mold exposure or latent virus activation takes precedence before directly targeting Lyme disease. Subsequently, thorough preparation for efficient detoxification is crucial. Improper detoxification practices, like attempting to chelate heavy metals, can pose significant risks, as they may result in the redistribution of toxins to more harmful areas than their original locations. Therefore, careful consideration and appropriate methods must be employed to avoid such complications. The emotional and stress related aspects of Lyme disease can be stabilized through holistic practices like acupuncture and specialized techniques such as PSYCH-K. These approaches can help address and manage the emotional toll that Lyme disease may have on individuals, contributing to a more comprehensive and effective treatment plan.

After completing the initial two stages of the healing process, the used of supplements and herbs is the key component in eradicating Lyme.  Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of herbal medicines against Borreila bacteria at all stages of the infection, even surpassing the efficacy of commonly used antibiotics. Herbal remedies have shown promise in combating persister cells in a state of protective dormancy. Merely substituting one antibiotic for another, even if more potent, oversimplifies the complexity of Lyme disease treatment. While the necessary chemicals to eliminate the bacteria are readily available, the challenge lies in their strategic application and addressing underlying issues. Herbal therapy, often underestimated, requires careful attention to dosage, timing, combinations, rotations, and personalized selection for each patient. Incorrect administration can exacerbate problems or result in harm. The incorporation of biofilm-disrupting supplements is essential for successful eradication, particularly in advanced Lyme cases, and these supplements are tailored to the individual’s specific needs. Implementing a combination of remedies and “pulsing” them in a rotational manner can hinder Lyme’s ability to adapt to a specific set of substances, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment approach. 

The comparison between different treatment approaches for Lyme disease is not focused on determining a superior method, as the effectiveness can vary based on factors such as the disease stage. The purpose of discussing the differences between traditional and holistic treatments is to provide insight and understanding for patients facing chronic Lyme, drawing from personal experiences and clinical practice.

I have developed the Lyme Freedom Blueprint as a comprehensive approach for individuals struggling with chronic Lyme disease. This treatment plan is not designed to replace the prompt antibiotic treatment typically recommended for early-stage Lyme disease. Instead, it offers an alternative avenue for those who did not receive early treatment or experienced limited relief from it.

Unique Value Of This System

With a background in herbal medicine and supplementation and having contracted Lyme disease during studies at Bastyr University, a prestigious holistic medicine institution, I initially relied on herbs over traditional antibiotics. This approach, though well-intentioned, resulted in prolonged recovery, increased suffering, and financial burdens. Underestimating the complexities of Lyme disease, its adaptability to treatments, and the likelihood of relapse post-symptom improvement, I found myself in a state of confusion, experiencing debilitating Herxheimer reactions from bacterial die-off. It was through years of dedicated research and a holistic approach that I eventually achieved full recovery. Recognizing Lyme disease’s reliance on body dysfunctions and toxicities, I learned the necessity of addressing underlying imbalances and detoxification, shifting from a hurried eradication approach towards a staged treatment strategy informed by both clinical knowledge and personal experience.

My treatment model incorporates a unique blend of therapies, including acupuncture, infrared, cold laser, red light, and PEMF treatments. Drawing on the principles of Chinese medicine, I emphasize the safe and effective administration of herbal remedies. PSYCH-K is integrated to address the mental and emotional aspects of Lyme disease, offering relief from feelings of desperation and hopelessness. However, the most crucial element of my treatment approach, both personally and professionally, is the Neurological Integration System (NIS).

Introduced to NIS after resolving the majority of my Lyme-related symptoms, I was profoundly impacted by its effectiveness after a single session. Over the next seven years, I dedicated myself to perfecting and integrating NIS into my treatment model. NIS plays a pivotal role by addressing underlying disconnections and enhancing the effectiveness of other therapies, leading to rapid and significant results.  

The combination of these modalities is distinct and powerful, but what distinguishes this program is its application in the correct stages, along with expertise in safely eliminating toxins and restoring the immune system effectively.

One significant challenge faced by patients seeking treatment for chronic Lyme is the lack of insurance recognition, resulting in out-of-pocket expenses. This financial burden can add to the challenges faced by individuals already suffering from Lyme disease. Recognizing the impact of Lyme firsthand, I am committed to making my treatment program as affordable as possible to ensure that patients have access to comprehensive care without excessive financial strain.

After contracting Lyme disease, my initial nonchalant attitude, despite having the distinctive bull’s-eye rash as a clear indication of the infection, allowed the disease to progress and become more pervasive in my body. This was a mistake on my part, as it resulted in the need for an extended treatment period. If you are currently experiencing Lyme disease symptoms or have been formally diagnosed, I urge you to consider seeking a free consultation. Please note that the number of patients I can accommodate in this protocol at any given time is limited. If you believe this program aligns with your needs, I am eager to work with you.
