Misunderstood Lyme Disease and Lyme Disease Treatment Hurting
Patients
Lyme Disease Misunderstood Leading to Unsatisfactory Lyme Disease Treatment Protocols
Lyme disease, also recognized as the great imitator is essentially one of the most
misunderstood and widely growing illnesses in our country. Because its symptomology
resembles that of so many other diseases and because our conventional medical communitybasically continues to be ill-informed, stricken patients fail to receive the Lyme disease
treatment necessary to restore their health. Because Lyme disease is so generally
misinterpreted, standard treatment typically lasts only four to six weeks, with extensive
treatment widely believed to be unwarranted. As a result, many insurance companies refuse to
cover appropriate treatment and residual Borrelia reemerges, thus, patients often relapse with
Lyme or more importantly,Lyme DiseaseComplex. To further complicate matters, most

patients diagnosed with Lyme disease are ignorant of the full complex of co-infections and
neurotoxins that reside in their system - eliminating the possibility of prescription medication as
a viable, lone Lyme disease treatment.
Before We Can Talk About Lyme Disease Treatment, We Must Understand What Lyme
Disease Complex Is
In the world of conventional medicine protocols, there is often lively debate regarding whether
chronic Lyme disease is truly a bona fide disease, Others recognize that patients do indeed
suffer with Lyme disease symptoms associated with Borrelia, contracted through tick bites.
Unfortunately, most care providers do not have knowledgeable LLMDs (Lyme Literate Doctors)
on staff who recognize the complexity, severity, and difficulty that encompasses Lyme disease
treatment. To elicit a better understanding, the following are among the most common
infections that can play a role in Lyme disease. They are all potential contributors to what
Envita Medical Centers labels Lyme disease complex a confluence of infections that may
simultaneously include bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal co-infections that all necessitate
specific Lyme disease treatment and protocol customization to aid patients in the long term.
1. Borrelia (B. burgdorferi) The most recognized infection in Lyme disease which is oftendeemed to be the tick-borne variety. While it is a major contributor, borrelia alone
makes up but one of the numerous infections that stimulate Lyme disease and
ostensibly make treatment so difficult.
2. Bartonella Bartonellahenselae is the causative agent of the notorious cat-scratchfever, endocarditis, and countless other serious diseases known to humans. These
bacteria comprise one of Lyme disease complexs most irksome co-infections. The
bacteria are transferred by fleas, body lice, and ticks with ticks being the greatest
source of human bartonellosis infection, often accompanied by Lyme disease. Sand flies
transport the bacteria in Perus Andes Mountains, Colombia, and Ecuador while human
body lice carriers are distributed throughout the world. The European sheep tick is a
known carrier and five different species of Bartonella have been detected in nearly 20
percent of I. Pacificus ticks collected in California.
3. Epstein-Barr (HHV-4)This is a common human herpes virus that will infect virtuallyevery individual on our planet at some juncture in their lifetime. It is indeed possible for
EBV to lie dormant in the body throughout ones life span. Typically, the disease is
transmitted via saliva and requires 30-45 days to present with symptoms if it
eventually does at all. During this cycle of time, the host is most likely to spread EBV to
others. However, when these infections continue to manifest as seen in chronic fatigue
patients it becomes essential to evaluate/test for chronic Lyme disease complex and its
co-infections and immunity. Lyme disease treatment becomes a requirement as
multiple infections can often awaken dormant insidious infections such as Epstein-Barr.

4. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) - Approximately 80 percent of adults in these United States areinfected with cytomegalovirus (CMV). It is considered a member of the herpes family
and shares the common trait of remaining alive, yet dormant, in the human body for the
ongoing life span of its human host. Rarely does CMV become active unless the immune
system is compromised as it can easily be (and most often is) with Lyme diseaseinfections deteriorating the immune system.
5. Babesiosis- Intraerythrocytic parasite Babesia microiti causes Babesiosis, an infectionthat resides inside red blood cells. It is transmitted by the identical tick that transmits B.
burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. Forty one percent of patients stricken
with Babesia develop serious complications which may include acute respiratory failure,
disseminated intravascular coagulation, congestive heart or renal failure. Complex
babesiosis is regularly associated with the presence of severe anemia and high
parasitaemia levels. Chronic babesia has been known to trigger cardiovascular, kidney,and liver problems in patients. Babesiosis is clearly a dangerous component of Lyme
disease and must be tested for, and if necessary, marginalized with a comprehensive
Lyme disease treatment.
6. Human Herpes Virus 6 Lyme disease complex may also include human herpes virus 6.(HHV-6) has since become one of the most widespread members of human herpes
viruses and presents in two related variants: HHV-6A and HHV-6B. HHV-6 is known to
attack specific cells including but not limited to CD 4 lymphocytes, NKTs,
oligodedrocytes, CD8 cells, and microglial cells. For your information, this virus isimmune suppressive and also activates other viruses during the process. While HHV-6
can remain latent for long periods of time, it can reactivate and produce infection
quickly. A comprehensive Lyme disease treatment must be introduced to combat HHV-6
and other Lyme disease complex infections.
7. Ehrlichiosis - Ehrlichiosis is a serious Lyme disease co-infection disease caused byrickettsial-type (specific bacteria) organisms and presents in two specific forms; Human
Monocytic Ehrlichiosis (HME) and Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis (HGE). In the majority
of cases, Ehrlichiosis is self-limiting and not fatal with death rates in large, unselected
series ranging from 1 to 8 percent [3,6-8]. This contrasts sharply with the high death
rate in patients who are immunocompromised. Definitively, however, Lyme disease
patients are relegated to the dangerous immunocompromised category. That is why it
is incumbent upon patients to receive an aggressive and comprehensive Lyme disease
treatment plan.

8. Chlamydia pneumonia - Chlamydophila pneumoniae (formerly known as Chlamydiapneumoniae or CP) are bacteria that infect humans and can trigger pneumonia. They
are a type of Chlamydia . Chlamydophila pneumoniae has a complex life cycle and must
infect another cell in order to reproduce itself. The disease generally begins as a
respiratory infection, appearing more or less unnoticed in the body and spreads to
infect other tissues such as nerves, brain, muscles, blood vessels and even cellsdefending the body's own immune system, the macrophages. CP itself produces at least
two toxic substances that initiate tissue destruction and inflammatory burden, as well as
a chronic immune activation and invasion with a toxin load. CP survives in the cell much
as a parasite taps energy in order to reproduce. Therapy, however, must be
administered effectively until CP is destroyed in all three stages, thus voiding re-
infection. It is a critical part of Lyme disease treatment in cases where CP is present.
9. Candida - The most common organism implicated in fungal infections is the ubiquitousCandida, which is evidenced in the human digestive tract, mouth, and genital region(Eggiman P et al 2003). Under normal circumstances, levels of Candida are controlled by
beneficial bacteria. However, if the bacteria-fungus balance is skewed, by the use of
antibiotics for example, or if the immune system is compromised, an overgrowth of
Candida can occur, resulting in infection. As the immune system is always weakened by
the presence of chronic Lyme disease - the presence of Candida must be aggressively
addressed in a comprehensive Lyme disease treatment.
As comprehensive as the above maladies seem, it is equally important to point out that only
13% of infections that exist around the world have actually been identified. Among these are
zoonotic infections (those emanating from animals) - making Lyme disease treatment among
the most complex to approach.
The Reality of Lyme Disease and Lyme Disease Treatments That Can Actually Work
If Lyme disease is diagnosed early, it can be treated reasonably well with a regimen of
antibiotics. However, in the great majority of cases, Lyme disease is not identified by either the
patients or their physicians at its onset - if ever. For patients who have had Lyme disease for
over a year, significantly more extensive treatment is necessary.
The standard prescription of antibiotics is generally substantially insufficient in treating Lyme
disease complex or as a singularLyme disease treatment. Antibiotics do not help the body rid
itself of the mycotoxins or BLP (bacteria lipoprotein neurotoxins) caused by Borrelia, nor arethey effective in treating the various viral, fungal, and parasitic co-infections attendant to Lyme
disease. These co-infections are exhibited in some combination in virtually every Lyme disease
patient and must be addressed within any worthwhile Lyme disease treatment.
In fact, is not rare to see four or more combinations of infections in chronic Lyme disease
patients. Often months, or even several years of treatment are deemed necessary to erase the
stubborn Borrelia from the body not to mention the multitudes of other attackers liberated

by the presence of Lyme disease complex in the body. Chronic Lyme disease treatment requires
an organized and customized program that includes reestablishment of immune function and
status for patients. Simply administering medication will not suffice and can even complicate
the situation. For example, physicians who attempt to treat patients using anti-malaria drugs
such as plaquenil, commonly fall short as they neglect to address the immune system.
Chronic Lyme Disease Awareness and Effective Lyme Disease Treatment
Treatment of Lyme disease must be targeted at more than just the infections. Diminishing
inflammation, supporting the immune system, detoxification of BLPs, and addressing hormone
deficiencies are crucial to a comprehensive chronic Lyme disease treatment plan. If patients are
ingesting other medications or pain killers, a delicate approach is needed to transition them to
a superior quality of life. In fact, when patient indicate that they have Lyme disease, or Lyme
disease doctors examine patients - it is a commonly recognized that they are dealing with a
combination of infections, as well as an immune compromised state. While the infections
present may vary from case to case, the basic existing problem is Lyme disease complex, or "a
combination of infections.
Envitas Experience is the Difference for Lyme Disease Patients and Life-changing Lyme
Disease Treatment
Envita has worked in the areas of Lyme disease research and Lyme disease treatment for nearly
a decade. Our experiences have led to faster, more effective advances in Lyme disease
treatment. At Envita, we address and examine all elements of Lyme disease, understanding that
handling Lymes co-infections is just as crucial as direct treatment of the primary disease.
Recognizing the concept of co-infections and bodys homeostasis imbalances is exactly why we
label it Lyme disease complex and why Envita leads the World in effective Lyme disease
treatment.
To further exacerbate matters, many Lyme disease infections dwell within the red and white
bloods cells making them very stealth and as a result, extremely unresponsive to treatment.
They can defeat the body's immune defenses and reproduce within the healthy cells. Envita
takes advantage of special shuttling agents to effectively address and marginalize these
infections.
Lyme Disease Treatment and Complications of Lyme Disease
There has been much dialogue about Bioflim communities that protect the infections from the
penetration of medications. In many cases these Biofilm communities must be stripped and
minimized through proper treatment and lifestyle changes.
Another scenario to consider, as it pertains to Lyme disease treatment, is self-synergistic
replication. In this situation, many infections can communicate with and stimulate the
replication of other viruses already present in the body. All the while, the patient must contend
with numerous symptoms that may present as digestion problems, cognitive difficulties,
chronic pain, sleep deprivation, and hormonal imbalances - just to mention a few.

Does Chronic Lyme Disease Exist and is Lyme Disease Treatment Necessary
Lyme disease does undeniably exist. And even though many researchers will imply that the
patient really does not have Lyme disease in the classical laboratory form patients often still
suffer from a combination of the infections aforementioned . Presumably, they must be treated
simultaneously so as to provide effective and sustained relief for patients.
It is also vital to realize that many laboratory tests provide false negatives .The tests decree a
negative finding when the patient actually has an infection(s) present. Some of the most
common reasons are immune systems that are too compromised to mount a proper antigen
test. However, if an immune system challenge is conducted, one may notice a positive test
result for these patients. Additionally, many of these infections do live intra-cellularly and as a
return with false negative results.
At Envita, we have developed a bold combination of tests to identify specific immunological
factors and a comprehensive clinical overview to help patients seek and treat all the
components of the Lyme Disease complex.
Envitas Approach to Tackling Lyme Disease and Identifying the Ideal Lyme Disease Treatment
for Each Patient
Because Lyme disease is so complex, extensive and comprehensive Lyme disease treatment is
required.. At Envita, Lyme disease treatments are not limited to antibiotics, rather administered
in conjunction with aggressive natural therapies from locations all over the world.
As part of our Disease Solutions Program, we take an integrative approach to Lyme disease
treatment, utilizing anti-viral, anti-parasitic, and anti-fungal approaches - depending on the co-
infections and symptoms present in each patient. By addressing all Lyme disease complex
factors, we achieve superior results with our incomparable Lyme disease treatments.
We implement innovative treatments to help patients achieve an intensive-grasp of their
disease, thereby providing them with the ability to conquer. Our comprehensive approach to
treatment helps speed healing time, enhance quality of life, and minimize the recurrence of
Lyme disease. To learn more about our Lyme disease treatment protocols or glean more
