1. Discovering Best Clinical Options ForLymeDisease and Lyme Disease
Treatment
LymeDisease Misunderstood Leading to Unsatisfactory Lyme Disease Treatment Protocols
Lyme disease, also known as “the great imitator” is among the most misunderstood and widely
growing diseases in our nation. Because its symptomology resembles that of so many other
maladies and because the conventional medical community continues to be under-informed,
suffering patients fail to receive theLyme disease treatment necessary to restore their health.
Because Lyme disease is so misunderstood, standard treatment typically lasts only 4-6 weeks,
with extensive treatment widely believed unnecessary. As a result, many insurance companies
refuse to cover appropriate treatment and residual Borrelia reemerges post-treatment, and
patients often relapse with Lyme or more importantly, Lyme Disease Complex. To further
obscure matters, most patients diagnosed with Lyme disease are unaware of the full “complex”
of co-infections and neurotoxins that linger in their system - eradicating the possibility of
prescription medication being a viable, stand-alone Lyme disease treatment.
Before We Can Talk About LymeDisease Treatment, We Must Understand What Lyme Disease
Complex Is

2. In the world of conventional medicine protocols, there is often debate if chronic Lyme disease
is truly a disease at all. Others recognize that patients suffer with Lyme disease symptoms
associated with Borrelia contracted through tick bites. Unfortunately, most care providers do
not have true LLMDs (Lyme Literate Doctors) on staff who recognize the complexity, severity,
and difficulty that is Lyme disease treatment. To gain 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 calls Lyme disease complex – a confluence of
infections that may simultaneously include bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal co-infections
that all require specific Lyme disease treatment and protocol customization to help patients in
the long term.
1. Borrelia(B. burgdorferi) –The most recognized infection in Lyme disease which is often
considered to be the tick-borne infection that Lyme disease itself. While it is a major
contributor, borrelia alone makes up but one of the numerous infections that make up
Lyme disease and make Lyme disease treatment so difficult.
2. Bartonella – Bartonellahenselae is the causative agent of the notorious cat-scratch
fever, endocarditis, and several other serious diseases in humans. These bacteria
comprise one of Lyme disease Complex’s most troublesome 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 carry the
bacteria in Peru’s Andes Mountains, Colombia, and Ecuador while human body lice
carriers are found 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 virtually
everyone on the planet at some point in their lifetimes. It is possible for EBV to remain
dormant in the body throughout the entirety of an individual’s life span. Typically, the
disease is transmitted via saliva and takes 30-45 days to present with symptoms – if it
does at all. During this period, the host is most likely to spread EBV to others. However,
when these infections last as seen in chronic fatigue patients it becomes essential to
test for chronic Lyme disease complex and its co-infections and immunity. Lyme disease
treatment becomes necessary as multiple infections can often awaken dormant
infections such as Epstein-Barr.
4. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) -Approximately 80 percent of adults in the United States are
infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV). It is a member of the herpes family and shares the

3. common ability to remaining alive, yet dormant, in the human body for the life of its
human host. Rarely does CMV become active unless the immune system is weakened –
as it can easily be (and most often is) with Lyme disease infections overwhelming the
immune system.
5. Babesiosis- Intraerythrocytic parasite Babesia microiti causes Babesiosis, an infection
that dwells inside red blood cells. It is transmitted by the same tick that transmits B.
burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. 41 percent of patients dealing with
Babesia develop serious complications including 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, covered 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 comes 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. Moreover, this virus is immune
suppressive and also activates other viruses in the process. While HHV-6 can remain
latent for long periods of time, it can reactivate and cause infection quickly. A
comprehensive Lyme disease treatment must be implemented to combat HHV-6 and
other Lyme disease complex infections.
7. Ehrlichiosis - Ehrlichiosis is a seriousLyme disease co-infection disease caused by
rickettsial-type (specific bacteria) organisms and comes in two specific forms; Human
Monocytic Ehrlichiosis (HME) and Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis (HGE). In most 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. By definition, however, Lyme disease patients
are in the dangerous “immunocompromised” category. That is why it is so important for
patients to receive an aggressive and comprehensive Lyme disease treatment plan.
8. Chlamydia pneumonia - Chlamydophila pneumoniae (formerly known as Chlamydia
pneumoniae or CP) are bacteria infect humans and can lead to pneumonia. They are a
type of Chlamydia. Chlamydophila pneumoniae has a complex life cycle and needs to
infect another cell to reproduce themselves. The disease was usually started as

4. respiratory infections, to then more or less unnoticed in the body and spread to infect
other tissues as Nerves, brain, muscles, blood vessels and even cells of the body's own
immune system, the macrophages. CP itself produces at least two toxic substances that
cause tissue destruction and inflammatory burden, as well as a chronic immune
activation and the body with a toxin load. CP Survive in the cell such as a parasite steals
energy and to reproduce themselves. Therapy, however, must be carried out effectively
until CP is destroyed in all three stages, which are thus no re-infection and 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 ubiquitous
Candida, which is found 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 upset, 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 compromised
by the presence of chronic Lyme disease - the presence of Candida must be aggressively
addressed in a comprehensive Lyme disease treatment.
As dubious 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 coming from animals) - making Lyme disease treatment among the most
complex to approach.
The Reality of LymeDisease and Lyme Disease Treatments That Can Actually Work
If Lyme disease is caught early, it can be treated relatively well with a reasonable course of
antibiotics. However, in the great majority of cases,Lyme disease is not caught by either the
patients or their physicians at its onset - if they do at all. For patients who have had Lyme
disease for more than a year, significantly more extensive Lyme disease treatment is necessary.
The standard prescription of antibiotics is generally far too insufficient in treatingLyme disease
complex or as a stand-alone Lyme disease treatment. Antibiotics do not help the body rid itself
of the mycotoxins or BLP (bacteria lipoprotein neurotoxins) caused by Borrelia, nor are they
effective in treating the various viral, fungal, and parasitic co-infections attendant to Lyme
disease. These co-infections are found in some combination in virtually every Lyme disease
patient and must be dealt with in any worthwhile Lyme disease treatment.
In fact, is not uncommon to see 4 or more combinations of infections in chronic Lyme disease
patients. Often months, or even years of treatment are necessary to eradicate the stubborn
Borrelia from the body – not to mention the multitudes of other attackers liberated by the

5. presence of Lyme disease complex in the body. Chronic Lyme disease treatment requires an
organized and customized program that includes reestablishing immune function and stasis for
patients. Simply administering medication will not work and can even make matters worse. For
example, doctors who attempt to treat patients using anti-malaria drugs such as plaquenil,
commonly fall short as they fail to address the immune system.
Chronic LymeDisease Awareness and EffectiveLyme Disease Treatment
Treatment of Lyme disease must be directed at more than just the infections. Diminishing
inflammation, supporting the immune system, detoxification of BLP’s, and addressing hormone
deficiencies are vital to a comprehensive chronic Lyme disease treatment plan. If patients are
on other medications or pain killers, a delicate approach is needed to transition them to better
quality of life. In fact, when patients say they have Lyme disease, or Lyme disease doctors see
patients - it is a recognition 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
problem at hand is Lyme disease complex, or "a combination of infections”.
Envita’s Experience is the Differencefor Lyme Disease Patients and Life-changing Lyme
Disease Treatment
Envita has worked in the areas of Lyme disease research and Lyme disease treatment for almost
a decade. Our experiences have led to faster, more effective progress in Lyme disease
treatment. At Envita, we address and examine all factors of Lyme disease, understanding that
handling Lyme’s co-infections is just as critical as direct treatment of the primary disease.
Grasping the concept of co-infections and body’s homeostasis imbalances is the reason why we
call it Lyme disease complex and why Envita leads the World in effective Lyme disease
treatment.
To further complicate matters, many Lyme disease infections dwell within the red and white
bloods cells making them very stealth and as a result, extremely difficult to treat. They can
escape the body's immune defenses and reproduce within the healthy cells. Envita takes
advantage of special shuttling agents to effectively address and treat these infections
Lyme Disease Treatment and Complications of Lyme Disease
There has been much talk about Bioflim communities that protect the infections from the
penetration of medications. In many cases these Biofilm communities must be stripped and
diminished through proper treatment and lifestyle changes.
Another scenario to be aware of, as it pertains to Lyme disease treatment, is self-synergistic
replication. In this situation, many infections can communicate with and "turn on," or

6. activate,the replication of other viruses already present in the body.All the while, the patient
must deal with numerous symptoms that may present as digestion problems, cognitive
difficulties, chronic pain, sleep deprivation, and hormonal imbalances - just to name a few.
Does Chronic Lyme Disease Exist and is Lyme Disease Treatment Necessary
Lyme disease does undeniably. And even though many researchers will say the patient really
doesn’t have Lyme disease in the classical laboratory form - patients still often suffer from have
a combination of the infections we mentioned earlier - and they need to all be treated
simultaneously to really provide effective and sustained relief for patients.
It is also important to realize that many laboratory tests provide false negatives meaning the
test comes back negative when the patient actually has an infection(s) present. Some of the
most common reasons for are immune systems that are too weak to weak to mount a proper
antigen test. However, if an immune system challenge is conducted, one may see a positive test
return for these patients. Additionally, many of these infections do live intra-cellularly and as a
result come back with false negative results.
At Envita,we have developed a strong combination of tests to identify specific immunological
factors and a comprehensive clinical overview to help patients find and treat all the factors of
the Lyme Disease complex.
