Lyme Disease Treatment
Comprehensive diagnosis and multi-system treatment for one of the most misdiagnosed conditions in medicine
Understanding Lyme Disease
Lyme disease, caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted through tick bites, is one of the most frequently misdiagnosed conditions in medicine. Its ability to mimic dozens of other illnesses — from fibromyalgia to multiple sclerosis to psychiatric disorders — has earned it the nickname "The Great Imitator."
At Sancta Familia Center, we understand that Lyme disease is not just an infection — it's a multi-system illness that can affect the brain, joints, heart, nervous system, and immune function simultaneously. Standard two-week antibiotic courses often fail because they don't address the complexity of the disease or its common co-infections.
Our integrative approach combines targeted antimicrobial treatment with immune support, nutritional optimization, detoxification, and anti-inflammatory strategies. We treat the whole person, not just the infection — because lasting recovery requires restoring balance to every system that has been affected.
Key Facts
- Often misdiagnosed: Known as "The Great Imitator" due to its wide range of symptoms
- Testing challenges: Standard tests miss up to 50% of Lyme cases
- Co-infections: Frequently accompanied by Babesia, Bartonella, and Ehrlichia
- Our approach: Multi-system restoration, not just antibiotics
Signs & Symptoms
Neurological Symptoms
Brain fog, memory difficulties, headaches, numbness or tingling, facial nerve palsy (Bell's palsy), and difficulty concentrating.
Musculoskeletal Pain
Migratory joint pain, muscle aches, stiffness, and swelling that can shift from one area to another — often misdiagnosed as arthritis or fibromyalgia.
Fatigue & Malaise
Profound, unrelenting exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest, often accompanied by flu-like feelings, low-grade fevers, and night sweats.
Psychiatric Symptoms
Anxiety, depression, irritability, rage episodes, and in children, sudden behavioral changes or academic decline that may be misattributed to other conditions.
Additional Signs

Comprehensive testing beyond standard screening — including specialty labs for Lyme and common co-infections (Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia).
Targeted Antimicrobials
Individualized antimicrobial protocols addressing Borrelia and co-infections, with careful monitoring of treatment response.
Immune Restoration
Rebuilding immune function through targeted nutrition, anti-inflammatory support, and detoxification pathways.
Whole-Person Recovery
