1. 5 Essential Strategies for Treating Chronic Lyme Disease
Lyme disease was first discovered in Lyme, Connecticut in 1975. Thirty four years later,
on July 16, 2009, Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell signed into law, a bill that protects
physicians who treat chronic Lyme disease – thereby recognizing Lyme as an official
disease. Nevertheless, despite Lyme’s public recognition – improvement in treatment
strategies still must be improved to help the ever-increasing numbers of patients
suffering with it.
Lyme disease is a multi-system condition that often carries co-infections which can
interfere with its diagnosis. Known to influence and exacerbate other chronic illnesses,
Lyme is often mishandled as patients deal with a variety of symptoms that can match
those of Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
5 Keys to Understanding Chronic Lyme Disease
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, implement a strategy, and then persevere until the conclusion is reached. With
that said, our Lyme disease protocol has taken roughly a decade to assemble by taking
on each facet one by one, until the big picture fell into place.
The proper way to grasp what we like to call “Lyme disease complex” requires adhering
to five essential strategies that improve both the approach and end result. They are as
follows:

2. Strategy 1 – Chronic Lyme disease always simultaneously presents more than one
infection which can range from bacterial to viral or fungal or protozoa – all successfully
co-existing within patients’ bodies. By treating just one infection, it is likely the patient
will not improve and most symptoms will remain. This is of critical importance because
the patient will be dragged into a cycle of long-term illness with little to no improvement
with each treatment attempt. Physicians who are not “Lyme literate” typically fail to
address all contributing infections properly.
Strategy 2 – Lyme’s complex of co-infections compromise the immune system. And a
rundown immune system never does its job properly, leading to new symptoms
presenting that mimic those of fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and up to 300
other notable medical conditions.
This “now what” type of disease sees patients walk through the doors of many
physicians and care providers over time, with little to show for their efforts. Why?
Because although Lyme disease gets all the “press” it is likely not the only infection
causing illness - many co-infections are likely contributing to the steady decline of the
patients’ overall wellness.
Moreover, not everyone will have the same infections; rather, some may suffer with
various tick borne co-infections along with other active viral combinations. Because the
immune system is directly under fire, the patient is vulnerable to other infections that
would normally be harmless.
Strategy 3 – Research indicates that these nasty co-infections may actually
communicate through synergistic mechanisms of replication and may even involve
complex cell to cell signaling between infections and co-infections. In other words, while
one infection is being treated, another may recognize its opportunity, grow, and attract
the immune’s attention, thereby allowing the primary infection to re-establish itself.
Envita is working overtime to ensure that treatment protocols include multi-infection
approaches that include simultaneous and ongoing immune system reconstitution.
Strategy 4 - Biofilm plays an integral role in protecting Lyme’s primary and co-infections
from standard treatments like antibiotics. To ensure the efficacy of treatment, biofilm
must be stripped away.
Strategy 5 - Lyme infections release neurotoxins that compete with receptor sites
throughout the body including neural and hormonal. Neurotoxins are hard for the body
to eliminate and their release will disrupt the body’s overall functionality. Moreover,
neurotoxins can take long time to remove by means of a process that is fairly complex –
but making neurotoxin detox a part of Lyme treatment is critical to patient health and
recovery.

3. When one considers all 5 strategies outlined above, it is clear why so many patients in
treatment fail to get acceptable results. For assistance and treatment of chronic Lyme
disease, contact Envita Medical Centers where we have been helping patients with
