LYME DISEASE

 

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!

Lyme Disease, or borreliosis, is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which can rapidly multiple to every area in your body.

Lyme Disease Symptoms

Symptoms of acute Lyme Disease include:

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

These 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 ALTZHEIMER’S DISEASE, IMMUNE dysfunction and INFLAMMATION, NEUROPATHY (nerve damage), and more.

Testing and Treatment

If you suspect a tick bite, it is important to get tested early. 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.

Unfortunately, there is no universally accepted treatment. Mainstream medicine treats Lyme Disease with a single round of antibiotics, which is not always so effective.

This is partly because the disease quickly alters its gene expression in response to doxycycline, one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for Lyme Disease, creating an antibiotic-resistant phenotype. Doxycycline treatment of Borrelia-infected mice causes genetic changes that lead the immune system to stop searching for the Borrelia, allowing for its persistent infection.

It is important to note that a person with Lyme Disease may be co-infected with other organisms, and require different antibiotic therapy compared to Lyme Disease. Furthermore, the presence of heavy metals can interfere with treatment.

When I first met with Dr. White, I was very skeptical. I grew up in a house where Diabetes was common and I always "thought" I knew what and what not to eat. I was impressed with Dr. White and Dr. Kaufman's knowledge regarding a healthy weight loss and a healthy way of life. It was more of a holistic approach. The blood work that was done initially, was a lot more detailed than what you get at a yearly physical. I had always been concerned and careful about what I ate, but I never knew the reasons why certain "healthy" foods were better than others. As I began to eat not only healthier, but smarter. The weight came off. It wasn't at the speed of light, but with Dr. White's support and guidance I was able to surpass my goal weight. Advanced Integrated Health is the best gift I have ever given to myself.

I have been going to Dr. White since 2013 and started off extremely skeptical. I thought I knew it all! Boy, I didn't know anything. Dr. Bob (as my boys call him) has changed my life! I have energy, less anxiety, lost lots of weight and inches and just feel amazing! I have sent many friends to him and they all say the same thing. He is extremely knowledgeable and always is educating himself on the latest areas in integrated health medicine. I will never stop coming to see Dr. White!!!!!

A very nice practice to visit! I always feel so at home and relaxed. What I've learned here has truly changed my life and helped me to make some lasting improvements. Better energy, weight lost, more stamina, better sleep, better mood. In 3 months, I was able to turn around some significant areas in my bloodwork and I'm more hopeful about the future than ever. I have a chronic condition (PCOS) that I've been trying to learn how to approach for years and I FINALLY feel like I've gotten some good tools to do so! Dr. White has been so great with answering my questions whenever I come to visit. Also very accessible via phone and email!

I started seeing Dr. Kaufman during May 2014. I was overweight and had little energy. Dr. Kaufman put together a diet plan along with some vitamins, shakes and supplements. Since then, I have lost over 20 lbs, am full of energy and sleeping much better. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I also encouraged my husband to see Dr. White. He is doing great and lost over 20 lbs. It's been a wonderful experience and I highly recommend AIH.

When I first walked into Advanced Integrated Health, I was overweight, sluggish and just not feeling myself. I met with Dr. White who was very understanding and eager to help me attain my goal of restoring my health. In a few months I have lost 25 pounds, i have my energy back and I feel like myself again. It took hard work but with the support of Dr. White I was able to do it. Not only did I lose weight, Dr. White taught me a new way of living healthy. I owe much my success to him and I am grateful I walked into his office.

A friend recommended Dr. White as a natural approach to weight loss and healing. I was contemplating bariatric surgery but was afraid of the long term problems this procedure could cause. Dr. White was very thorough explaining the process and welcomed all my questions. I must say at the beginning it was not easy but if weight loss was easy we would have an obesity epidemic. This is definitely the best approach to weight loss I know of and I’ve tried them all. You will not starve, but by eating the right foods you will see an almost immediate difference in the way you feel and look. Dr. White will guide you through the process of eliminating the foods that affect your body negatively and introducing those that benefit you. I’ve lost over 25 lbs. in 6 months and I feel fantastic. My energy level is high; the quality of my sleep has improved tremendously. I don’t suffer from pain or panic attacks, blood pressure if perfect. If you are serious about losing weight and improving your health this is definitely the place to go. Everyone in his office is very welcoming. I highly recommend him.
