Lyme Disease
Treatment for Lymes Disease needs to focus on
the infection
the resulting systemic inflammation
and the multi-system immune dysfunction that results
Chronic Lyme - An Interview With Dr. Bier
We sat down with Dr Bier to ask him about his interest and approach with patients working with a Chronic Lyme disease diagnosis.
Dr Bier's experience with treating Lyme Disease encompasses patients with long-term chronic Lyme manifesting in any of the classic symptoms, including systemic, musculoskeletal, gastro-intestinal and neurological manifestations.
Understanding the multi-system nature of Lyme infection, the major goals of treatment are –
- Eradicate pathogens
- Boost immunity
- Support affected organs/ systems
- Provide symptom relief
Some of the multiple areas that need to be addressed include:
- Primary infection
- Co-infections – erlichia, bartonella, babesia etc
- Nutritional deficiencies
- General detoxification
- Immune dysfunction
- Systemic inflammation and pain
