Lyme Disease & Tick Alternative and Natural Support in NYC 

Lyme bacteria NYC
Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in New York State. It's caused by Borrelia Burgdorferi and is spread by the bite of an infected black-legged tick, also known as a deer tick.

Holistic and alternative Lyme disease treatments in NYC at our clinic consist of reducing the bacterial and parasitic load, detoxification and strengthening of your immune system.

​Our clinic specializes in holistic Lyme disease treatments and we work successfully with a lot of New Yorkers who got infected with the bacteria and its co-infections.

We use alternative and natural medicines with a holistic approach (body, mind, emotions, spirit) to achieve lasting results in our clients.

​
Borrelia is a spiral-shaped bacteria, known as spirochetes, that can cause various diseases, including Lyme disease.

Lyme disease is specifically caused by
Borrelia Burgdorferi in the United States, while other related species, like Borrelia Mayonii and Borrelia Miyamotoi, also cause tick-borne diseases.​

Borrelia bacteria are characterized by their long, coiled shape, which is why they are classified as spirochetes.

Lyme disease manifests differently in different stages of progression in different people depending on the immune system.

We often see clients with Lyme bacteria and its co-infections in our office and developed effective holistic treatment protocols to help our patients get well.

Appropriate prompt treatments help most people avoid chronic Lyme Disease. However, many Lyme disease clients come to us with chronic symptoms of Babesia, Bartonella or Rocky Mountain.

Our holistic treatments for Lyme disease are customized to your particular body constitution, help strengthen the immune system, reduce the inflammation, bacterial load, stress and increase your vitality and mental health.

About Lyme Disease Bacteria

The Lyme Disease bacteria, if not treated may penetrate into your joints, connective tissue, nerve cells,heart and other organs.
Lyme disease often affects different body systems, including the nervous system, joints, skin, and the heart.
​

Lyme disease and it's co-infections Babesia, Bartonella and Rocky Mountain are hard to diagnose, our treatments are always targeted to strengthen the immune system, reduce and weaken parasites, bacteria, and improve your energy. 

If you are bitten by an infected tick, it many cases it must stay attached to your body for 24 to 36 hours before passing Lyme infection. Most NYC Lyme-infected patients contract the bacteria when traveling to Upstate New York.

Three stages of Lyme Disease

  • Stage 1 Early beginning localized Lyme disease.
  • The bacteria have not spread in the the body. Symptoms may start as early as 3 to 30 days after infection and may include: 
  • Rash at the bite site, usually shaped like a bullseye 
  • Chills
  • Fatigue 
  • Fever
  • Headache 
  • Joint and muscle aches
  • Swollen lymph nodes
  • ​
  • Stage 2 Early disseminated Lyme disease. The bacteria has started to spread in the body.
  • Rashes throughout the body
  • Severe headache, neck pain or stiffness
  • Bell’s palsy (facial paralysis)
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Neurological disorders
  • Night sweats

  • Stage 3 Later stage of disseminated Lyme disease.
  • Joint pain and swelling (especially in the knees)
  • chronic fatigue,
  • Nerve damage causing numbness, tingling in the hands or feet
  • Neurological issues like confusion and memory loss, brain fog, muscle weakness, abnormal muscle movements, and sometimes speech problems; these symptoms can develop months or years after the initial infection if left untreated. 

Medical Treatment for Lyme Disease

Antibiotics are the primary source of treatment for Lyme disease, and most people recover completely after that. Antibiotics used depend on the stage of the disease and the patients' symptoms:
​
  • Early localized Lyme disease: Usual treatment  with 10–14 days of oral antibiotics, such as doxycycline, amoxicillin, or cefuroxime.
  • Early disseminated stage of Lyme disease: Treated with oral or intravenous antibiotics.​​​
  • Late stage Lyme bacteria: May include arthritis and neurologic symptoms, and may require intravenous ceftriaxone.

Holistic View of Lyme Disease in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) 

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) interprets Lyme disease by patterns of symptoms associated with Lyme through classical concepts like external pathogenic invasion, Qi and Blood deficiency, dampness, and toxin accumulation.​

Here’s how TCM typically views Lyme bacteria infection according to its patterns:

Lyme Disease External Pathogenic Invasion (Wind, Damp, Heat, Cold) Stage

Lyme often begins with an acute infection—tick bite, fever, rash, joint pain—which TCM might view as an invasion of:
  • Wind-Damp-Heat (inflammatory stage with fever, rash, joint swelling)
  • or Wind-Cold-Damp (more pain, chills, fatigue, stiffness)
If not cleared properly, this can become a lingering pathogenic factor, leading to a chronic state

Lyme Disease Lingering Pathogen (Latent Toxin) Stage

Once the acute stage passes, the pathogen can become hidden or dormant in the body—often referred to as:
  • Hidden evil 
  • or latent toxin 
This often enters into the joints, nervous system, causing symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, nerve pain, migrating joint pain—hallmarks of chronic Lyme.

Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang Deficiency Lyme Disease Stage

Over time, chronic Lyme weakens the body’s resources and makes it deficient:
  • Qi deficiency → fatigue,  weakness of the immune system 
  • Blood deficiency → Menal confusion, dizziness, numbness, insomnia
  • Yin deficiency → night sweats, hot flashes, dry mouth
  • Yang deficiency → cold limbs, low back pain, urinary issues
These deficiencies can co-exist and require tonification alongside clearing pathogenic factors. it's kind of Ying / Yang actions at the same time.

Dampness and Phlegm Lyme Stage

Many Lyme patients have symptoms related to dampness and phlegm, such as:
  • Brain fog, swelling, heaviness, sinus congestion
  • Digestive bloating, loose stools
  • Emotional cloudiness or depression
Dampness is sticky and hard to clear, so formulas often include herbs that transform and dry damp, tonify the Spleen, and move Qi. 

Blood Stasis and Blockage Cause by Lyme Disease

Migrating pain, stiffness, numbness, and neurological symptoms are often viewed as Blood stasis or Qi stagnation, especially if pain moves or comes and goes.
TCM uses a pattern-differentiation approach, so treatment is always individual. Some main strategies include:
  • Expel lingering pathogens (wind, damp, toxin) / Antibacterial and antimicrobial herbs
  • Strengthen Wei Qi and boost immunity / Tonifying herbs 
  • Tonify Qi, Blood, Yin, and Yang / Herbal tonics
  • Transform dampness and phlegm
  • Invigorate Blood and unblock collaterals / Circulatory herbs and blood tonics

Natural Strengthening of the Immune System for Lyme Disease

​* Reduction of bacterial load

* Recovery Stage   up to 3 months.

 2 cessions a month with Chinese Herbal medicine for maintenance.)

​Our bioresonance software can show the stage of your infection and monitor the progress. 
​We use multiple holistic treatments approach to improve the quality of your life.

Integrative Treatment for Lyme Disease

Above therapies work in synergy providing multi-layer holistic Lyme treatments to reduce the inflammation caused by the chronic disease and its co-infections. 
​​Lyme Disease is the fastest-growing infectious disease in North America,
and according to the Center for Disease Control in the United States, there are an estimated 300,000 Americans infected with Lyme co-infections, annually.

​There is no evidence that Lyme bacteria is spread through saliva, but there are some reports that Lyme tick can be transmitted sexually and some believe it can be transmitted through mosquito bites.

A Lyme infection causes many symptoms that often come in stages, but most often, it causes:
​

* Flu-like symptoms in the initial stages

* F
ollowed by pronounced muscle and joint pains

* Muscle weakness
* Exhaustion
* Brain fog, vertigo, cognition issues
