What Is Lyme Disease and How Is It Transmitted?

Lyme Disease, or borreliosis, is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which can proliferate to every area in your body. A black-legged deer tick has a three-year lifespan, going through four life stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Nymph ticks have the highest infection rate, transmitting the virus to humans through a bite.

Overcoming Lyme.

We are always staying up to date on Lyme Disease information, collaborating with Lyme Disease expert, Dr. Tom Moorcroft, and participating in International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS). To evaluate treatments’ potential success and pitfalls, we delve into current research, experience, and medical opinion.

We practice herbal treatments, in addition to careful use of antibiotics when applicable. A recent study published in the Frontiers of Medicine found that certain plant extracts had strong activity against Borrelia burgdorferi, outperforming antibiotics doxycycline and cefuroxime. Our approach to treating Lyme Disease is designed to not only eradicate the infection, but to promote your energy, sleep, mood, and overall functioning.

My husband has taken a break from chemo due to the negative side effects to his body and internal organs.i researched IV Therapy, which led us to PIH. These ppl are incredible and the options they offered to help reinvigorate my husband’s immune system initially included Oxygen therapy (never offered through traditional chemo and immunotherapy) & mistletoe injections (do your research). For the first time in almost a year, I saw my husband truly resting. In as quickly as 1 week. If you’ve given everything else a try, and nothing is working, come here. Things will change and you’ll have options for all your healthcare done holistically and homeopathetically.

I have struggled to feel well for over a decade despite eating clean, daily fitness, prioritize sleep, and doing alllll of the things. I was overwhelmed, defeated, and heartbroken to see myself exhausted and unwell during these precious years with my four young children. Dr. Vinny was the first doctor to really hear me and give me hope. He is as warm and caring as he is knowledgable. After meeting the rest of the PIH team I was even more certain that becoming a member was the right decision. Brianna is a very smart and easy to connect with. Her insights regarding gut biome and digestion have already created positive changes. Rupali is another terrific support. Her calm energy,  reassurance, and suggestions are so valuable as I navigate life around my healing. The entire staff is accessible and genuinely dedicated to the care of their patients. I can always reach someone easily during business hours and messages through the portal are responded to quickly as well. I can’t say enough about PIH. If you’re feeling hopeless about yoke health, give them a try, you will be so grateful. You deserve to feel heard, supported, and well.

Disappointing experience.

Dr. Leonti dismissed my concerns and pushed me to join his program. Requests for a certain care were ignored and calls went unreturned. The front desk staff was rude, especially one woman with an accent.

It's clear they only care about promoting their own agenda instead of helping for the greater good. Would not recommend.

Lyme Disease

is the most common American tick-borne infectious disease, and often goes undiagnosed or becomes misdiagnosed. Each year, up to 300,000 new cases a year of Lyme Disease diagnoses have been reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to 10 times what researchers previously thought. 

Symptoms are often mistaken for other conditions, such as ADHD in children, delaying Lyme Disease diagnosis. Furthermore, “hallmark” symptoms, such as the Erythema multiforme rash, are not present in all cases. Left unchecked, Lyme Disease symptoms worsen, creating a host of health issues, such as Alzheimer’s Disease, immune dysfunction and inflammation, neuropathy, and more.  

  • Headache
  • Fatigue
  • Rash
  • Night and day sweats
  • Chills
  • Muscle pain
  • Joint + neck pain
  • Sleep issues

Early Testing for Tick-Borne Illness

If you suspect a tick bite, it’s important to get tested early. When a person receives treatment within six to eight weeks of exposure to Borrelia burgdorferi or Borrelia mayonii and suffers no residual effects after treatment, the diagnosis is acute Lyme Disease. Patients who are not treated at least two months post-bite and have the untreated disease for months, or even years, often develop chronic Lyme Disease.

Submit for Testing: Place tick in sealed plastic bag and visit ticklab.org for instructions on how to submit for testing.
