Lyme Disease: What Is It?
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection of Borrellia burgdorferi
and other species, a bacteria transmitted through the bite of a
tick (Ixodes species). However, new evidence suggests other
biting insects may transmit LD as well.
More than 95% of reported cases in the United States come from
Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Borrellia species may also change forms and have a relatively slow
replication cycle. Most bacteria replicate every 20 minutes to 8 hours.
Borrellia replicate every 7 days or longer.
Ticks, fleas, mosquitos, flies and even snails can transmit these
illnesses.
There are over 100 strains of Borrellia in the United States and
more than 300 strains worldwide. Current testing only tests for
Borrellia burgdorferi. We now know that half of West Coast
cases of Lyme disease are caused by Borrellia miyomotoi.
1. Known deer tick bite: treat prophylactically with single dose of 200
mg of doxycycline for adults or children > 8 years old.
2. If someone is symptomatic, has erythema migrans or has a positive
blood test for LD, treat with 14-21 days of doxycycline 100 mg 2
times a day for adults and children older than 8 years old and 500
mg 3 times per day of amoxicillin for children under 8 years old or
pregnant women.
3. Cefuroxime (Ceftin™) 500 mg 2 times a day may be used for those
allergic to amoxicillin.
4. Lyme meningitis: add IV ceftriaxone (Rocephin™) or IV
cefotaxime.

Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Frequencies (PEMF)
There are over 1600 studies on the use of PEMF devices and
most devices are currently FDA approved in the US. Some
devices are designed for home use and others for
professional use.
I gave Jill Candida Mix 10C sublingually. The next day, her
mother called and said that she was completely calm and
more mentally “clear”. The scripting was less and her skin
was not as itchy. After 2 months, she is stable and has not
regressed.

Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI): Case 2
9 year old boy with tics
John had been having vocal and neck tics for a few months
when the mother brought him to our clinic. He was tested
and treated for food allergies, which helped reduce his tics
significantly. However, the tics had not completely resolved.
I tested him for PANDAS and he was positive for ASO and
DNAse B antibodies, despite having had a negative throat
culture. He had a history of Lyme disease when he was 3-4
years old, which was treated with antibiotics at the time.

I then tried the Lyme Mix 10C and that following day
he had a severe headache. The following day, the
headache dissipated and the tics completely stopped. He
has now been tic-free for 3 months

Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI): Case 3
47 year old woman with Lyme disease
Over the next month, her neck and joint pain almost
completely resolved. Her energy was better and she was
becoming more physically active again. She was doing
well for about 6 months and then started to have RUQ
pain.
Over the next month, her neck and joint pain almost
completely resolved. Her energy was better and she was
becoming more physically active again. She was doing well
for about 6 months and then started to have RUQ pain. She
denies irregular BM, constipation or diarrhea.
She had U/S and MRCP which showed dilated common bile
duct, but otherwise negative for cholecystitis or obstruction.
CDSA was unremarkable, except no yeast growth.
