patterns occur. This prompts the brain to subconsciously re-pattern itself.


Because Lyme Spirochetes can cross the


blood-brain barrier, Lyme patients often will suffer from brain fog, poor concentration, memory issues, anxiety and depression. I fi nd that Neurofeedback can help treat the ‘brain fog’ from which many Lyme patients suffer. Certain neurofeedback protocols can even help boost the immune system, since the brain is the master commander of the immune system. We use Neurofeedback as well as other EEG-guided neurotherapies such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and Transcranial Electrical Stimulation in our health center. We use these frequencies to help reduce swelling and infl ammation and to increase blood fl ow to areas of the brain where there is comprised blood fl ow as seen in immune-comprised patients.


Diet. Diets that are pro-infl ammatory and depleted of nutrients cause imbalances in the body’s biochemistry. Specifi cally, the body will become more acidic and in- fl amed, and less oxygen will be available on the cellular level. Infections such as Borrelia burgdorferi thrive in these conditions. Bor- relia bacteria and other co-infections com- mon with Lyme then release their own tox- ins, which further disrupt cellular functions and chemistry. Enter nutritional intervention,


which focuses on using supplements and a proper diet to restore biochemical balance.


We use blood tests and hair analysis


which can pinpoint which nutrients are most needed for a particular patient. These tests can also indicate how the patient’s body best metabolizes foods, and which type of diet will work best. Most Lyme patients will benefi t from a low-glycemic, high-antioxidant diet, rich in fresh organic produce. Patients should also be tested for hidden food sensitivities, such as gluten since these can increase infl ammation. In addition, we may use stool analysis to check for pathogens, parasites, and gut dysbiosis (microbial imbalance).


Homeopathic Medicines. Homeopath-


ics are gentle yet effective medicines that use highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities. They can boost the immune system to more effectively fi ght the infectious pathogenic organisms that are contributing to the Lyme patient’s symptoms (including the Borrelia bacteria, viruses, and other co-infections). Homeopathics can also assist various organs in eliminating toxins.


I tell my patients that Homeopathics do not actually kill the organisms themselves, but send information to the body that tells it to ‘wake up’ and address pathogens via its natu- ral immune responses. It is important to under- stand that the remedies chosen are tailored to the individual patient and may be updated on sub- sequent visits as organ- ism levels change.

Traditional Japanese Reiki. Lyme disease tends to create energetic blockages that can con- tribute to the patient’s symptoms and make

them harder to treat. For instance, many patients have blockages in some of the meridians that feed energy to the head, and may experience symptoms such as brain fog or headaches. These same energetic block- ages can prevent medicines from reaching their intended destination. On the fl ip side, the toxic die-off of the Borrelia bacteria may have more diffi culty exiting the body effectively. Opening these energetic block- ages through acupuncture or traditional Japanese Reiki will often improve a patient’s symptoms and allow other therapies to work more effectively.


Traditional Oriental medicine is rapidly


fi nding its way into the mainstream and for good reason. Electromagnetic energy (referred to as Qi) fl ows in “rivers” (or meridians) throughout the body. When certain meridians have too much or too little Qi fl owing through them, the body becomes imbalanced. This can be corrected by tapping into acupuncture points. Just as Acupuncture helps Lyme patients in clearing restrictions along meridian pathways, Tradi- tional Japanese Reiki can provide an even more powerful means to also open these pathways. In our offi ce, we have an expert in Traditional Japanese Reiki. Traditional Japanese Reiki is different than the Reiki normally experienced in the United States. This original form of Reiki requires many years of study of Chinese medicine and incorporates traditional Chinese diagnostic techniques like tongue and pulse diagnos- tics. It also requires someone that can move energy very powerfully. Very few people have the ability to both “push” and “pull” this energy. Reiki masters who have come to our offi ce have commented that the experi- ence was both unique and powerful.


Do the best you can to purify your body


and live a healthy lifestyle. It’s important to supplement antibiotics with natural thera- pies that promote whole-body balance. When the body is overwhelmed with toxins, chemicals, viruses, and bacteria (which is a common state of affairs in the modern world), the organs of detoxifi cation like the liver and lymphatic system become stressed and overtaxed. This makes it much less likely you’ll be able to fi ght off Lyme disease and its symptoms.
