Lyme Disease

A Complex Infection That Requires a Smarter Approach

Lyme disease is more than a tick bite — it’s a persistent, immune-disrupting infection that can affect every system in the body. Caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted by ticks (often tiny and easy to miss), Lyme disease can lead to chronic fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, mood changes, and a long list of misdiagnosed symptoms.

At Empower Health, we specialize in identifying and treating chronic and complex Lyme cases that haven’t responded to conventional care.

Borrelia burgdorferi is a master at surviving inside the human body. It uses several immune-evasion strategies that make it difficult to detect, treat, and clear:

Antigenic Variation: Constantly changes its surface proteins to avoid immune detection
Biofilm Formation: Hides in slimy biofilms, protecting itself from antibiotics and immune cells
Immunosuppression: Dampens the body’s immune response, allowing itself and other infections to persist
T-Cell Dysfunction: Disrupts the adaptive immune system, reducing the body’s ability to clear it
Antibody Confusion: Triggers incomplete or ineffective antibody responses

This is why Lyme can linger for months or years — even after standard antibiotic treatment — and why it’s often labeled Chronic Lyme Disease.

🧬 What About Co-Infections?

Ticks can carry much more than just Lyme. Common co-infections we test for and treat include:

Bartonella – often overlooked and a major driver of immune dysregulation, also spread by fleas and mosquitoes
Babesia – a blood parasite that mimics malaria symptoms
Ehrlichia & Rickettsia – bacterial infections that suppress immunity and trigger inflammation

These pathogens worsen symptoms and interfere with Lyme recovery — unless properly identified and treated.

🩺 Our Lyme Disease Approach

At Empower Health, we go far beyond antibiotics. Our goal is to:

Support and reset the immune system to do what antibiotics often can’t
Identify co-infections, toxins, and terrain dysfunction that keep Lyme active
Use proven modalities to address neurological damage, detox burden, and inflammation

Treatments may include:

Biofield balancing therapies, ozone, and oxidative support
NanoVi and mitochondrial repair tools
HOCATT ozone sauna detox
Frequency-specific therapies
Vagal nerve stimulation and immune modulation
Brain retraining, biofeedback, and neuroimmune regulation

We combine global, research-backed therapies with a whole-body strategy to help you heal — physically, neurologically, and emotionally.
