Lyme disease can be a crippling and debilitating condition. It’s also such a complex and misunderstood disease. There are so many factors, and it’s incredibly easy to misdiagnose. In addition, the only conventional treatment is antibiotic intervention, which in some cases may exacerbate detrimental symptoms and leave one in a weakened state.

In the video below taken from a TEDx event in Bushwick, Ben Ahrens, a patient of the New York Center for Innovative Medicine, shares his extraordinary story entitled “One Deep Breath“. His journey is one that needs to be shared with the world as a hopeful message for those struggling not only with Lyme disease, but for anyone affected by a debilitating health condition.

A New Approach to Lyme

Personalizing Treatments to each Patient…

A new paradigm of 21st century biological medicine considers each person as a unique individual with incredible healing abilities. The main goal of this paradigm is to find and eliminate all causes of dysfunctions on all levels: biochemical and physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual – allowing the body to restore its natural, inherited healing ability and reestablish balance and harmony, which we know as complete health. 

“I scoured the globe looking for answers as someone whose life was dependent on finding them. And the advanced integrative approach that Innovative Medicine affords is what I found to be, the absolute best solution.”

Now let’s look at an Innovative Medicine approach that has yielded remarkable results for a large number of Lyme patients:

1. Identify underlying causes: Accurately determine all causative body dysfunctions on all level of human being: physical, emotional, mental.
   
2. Establish priority of treatment: In most cases this requires 3-4 weeks of 1st stage of treatment including: advanced oral and intravenous methods of detox and drainage, improvement of tissue oxygenation, restoration of proper body environment, 1st stage of anti-pathogenic therapies – all personalized to the patient.
   
3. Correction of energy balance: This may be vital in many cases where an underlying energetic imbalance is present and contributing to Lyme related symptoms.
   
4. Personalized pathogen-related treatment: May last 3-4 weeks and consist of aggressive anti-pathogenic treatments, continuous detoxification & drainage, nutritional support, and emotional support – all based on personalized protocols.
   
5. Any final additional therapies: If residual problems are present – for example, dental issues, heavy metal toxicity, ongoing emotional/mental conflict, etc. – the additional therapy is identified through advanced evaluation and prescribed in a tailored manner through advanced evaluation systems. Treatment is extremely comprehensive, and requires full patient compliance.

Through this new approach to Lyme (and other multi-systemic conditions), we are now able to push the boundaries of the success rate with patients and completely eradicate all contributing Lyme associated factors and related symptoms.
