Why Chronic Lyme Is So Difficult to Treat

Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted through tick bites, is straightforward to treat when caught early. But when diagnosis is delayed — or when co-infections like Babesia, Bartonella, or Ehrlichia are present — the illness becomes far more complex.

Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS) affects a significant subset of patients who complete standard antibiotic courses yet continue to suffer. Current research implicates immune dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, autoantibody production, and neuroinflammation as key perpetuating mechanisms — none of which are addressed by antibiotics alone.

Our integrative approach combines therapies that directly target these mechanisms: ozone to modulate immunity and support mitochondria, PRP to address joint and nerve damage, and NAD+ to restore cellular energy production.

Common Chronic Lyme Symptoms

• Brain fog — memory problems, word-finding difficulties
• Peripheral neuropathy — tingling, numbness, burning
• Headaches and light/sound sensitivity
• Sleep disturbances — insomnia or excessive sleep
• Cardiac symptoms — palpitations, irregular rhythms
• Mood disturbances — anxiety, depression, irritability
