I believe that Lyme disease is difficult to diagnose and treat for three main reasons:


1. Borrelia is a complex organism that has developed many ways to evade detection by our immune systems.


2. Borrelia is the Great Instigator. It decreases our vitality and modi- fies our internal environment in ways that cause subclinical failure of many of our body’s systems.


3. Lyme disease is rarely the only toxin exerting a strong negative force on a patient.


The Chronic Toxin Overload model provides us with a frame-


work that allows us to understand that one toxin is rarely the prob- lem. It helps us understand why Lyme is not the only toxin impacting our patients and how it can function as an instigator of so many other problems. Additionally, we can see why so many patients with Lyme disease get so ill and continue suffering despite aggressive antibiotic or herbal treatments. In today’s world of nuclear radiation, global warming, 4G phones, high speed internet, high stress jobs, mercury fillings, and unclear futures due to faltering economies, we are all under a tremendous burden of chronic toxins. Our world has changed significantly over the past several hundred years. In addition to ever increasing toxic stresses, our environment is ever changing. Each time a forest is cut down to make room for a residential or commer- cial development, we create more prime tick habitat. Our families are now forced live and play in areas where ticks are likely to live. Lyme disease is no longer only a tick borne illness; it is a complex physical, mental, emotional and social condition that is very com- mon, but unfortunately often goes undiagnosed.

Fortunately, patients are speaking up. By raising their voices their doctors are slowly beginning to listen. Many physicians are seeking additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease. Still others are integrating the use of conventional medica- tions with herbal and nutritional treatments. It has been my experi- ence that there is hope to end the suffering of patients with persistent Lyme disease. By looking at and addressing all the potential toxins affecting a person, chronic illness dissolves. When patients who are suffering are evaluated and treated as unique individuals, patients regain their health and their lives.
