Diagnosing Lyme Disease
Diagnosing Lyme disease requires a combination of advanced laboratory testing not offered in conventional medicine, a detailed patient medical history and a review of Lyme disease symptoms and how they present. Diseases with similar etiology have to be confirmed or ruled out as well. Our diagnostic phase includes Lyme disease testing for:
- Advanced Tickborne Illnesses
- Lyme Coinfections
- CIRS/Mold Test Panels
- Blood chemistry
- Infections
- Viruses
- Parasites
- Hormone Assessment
- Detailed History and Physical Exam
Lyme Disease and Treatment
Every Lyme disease patient is different and we’ll personalize our treatment protocol to fit your unique needs. In general, we treat in the following steps:
Start Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)/Mold and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome treatment (if present in the patient)
Implement detoxification strategies
Treat viruses, parasites, Lyme bacteria, biofilm and mycoplasma bacteria
We believe in healing the gut and rebalancing the immune system to ensure a successful recovery.
While proceeding through the various phases of treatment, we periodically get updated lab results to verify that the patient is maintaining the benefits of the treatment, and to assess if additional interventions are needed.

- IV Vitamin Therapy
- Detoxification strategies including nutraceuticals, infrared sauna and
