Lyme Disease: Signs, Symptoms & Treatment

Updated: Apr 26

Understanding Lyme Disease


Lyme disease is a complex and often misdiagnosed condition caused by the bacterium "Borrelia burgdorferi", which is primarily transmitted through the bite of infected deer ticks. The symptoms of Lyme disease can mimic those of various other medical conditions, leading to frequent misdiagnoses and long-term complications. At VitalGate Health, our focus is on reducing the microbial load in the body while rebalancing the immune system to support effective healing.

Early Symptoms of Lyme Disease


Recognizing the early symptoms of Lyme disease is crucial for timely intervention. Common early symptoms include:


  • Chills

  • Fatigue

  • Fever

  • Joint pain

  • Muscle aches

  • Nausea

  • Sweats


Advanced Symptoms of Lyme Disease


If left untreated, Lyme disease can progress to more severe symptoms. Advanced symptoms may include:


  • Nerve pain

  • Severe headaches

  • Arthritis

  • Dizziness or shortness of breath

  • Intermittent pain in tendons, muscles, joints, and bones

  • Loss of short-term memory

  • Loss of motor function

  • Digestive symptoms


Comprehensive Treatment Options for Lyme Disease


Given the complexity of Lyme disease treatment, we believe in developing an individualized treatment plan based on a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's health profile and whole-body systems. Here are some effective treatment modalities we offer at VitalGate Health:


1. Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body. This technique can help alleviate symptoms associated with Lyme disease, such as pain, fatigue, and inflammation. Research shows that acupuncture may enhance immune function and promote healing by improving blood circulation and reducing stress levels. Explore the benefits of acupuncture for Lyme disease


2. Bioresonance Therapy


Bioresonance therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses electromagnetic frequencies to detect and treat imbalances in the body. This therapy can support the body's natural healing processes by identifying and addressing the specific frequencies associated with Lyme disease pathogens. Bioresonance may help reduce symptoms and support immune function by promoting cellular communication and detoxification.


3. Homeopathy


Homeopathy focuses on treating the individual as a whole rather than just the symptoms. Homeopathic remedies are chosen based on a patient’s specific symptoms and overall health profile. For Lyme disease, remedies such as "Arnica montana" for muscle soreness and "Rhus toxicodendron" for joint pain may be beneficial. Homeopathy aims to stimulate the body's natural healing responses, promoting recovery without the side effects associated with conventional medications.


4. SCENAR Therapy


SCENAR therapy (Self-Controlled Energo-Neuro Adaptive Regulation) is a form of electrotherapy that stimulates the nervous system to promote healing. This therapy is effective in managing pain, reducing inflammation, and enhancing recovery from Lyme disease symptoms. SCENAR therapy works by delivering electrical impulses that mimic the body’s natural nerve signals, helping to restore proper function and balance. Patients often report significant relief and an improvement in their overall well-being following treatment.


5. Herbal Remedies


Herbal medicine has been used for centuries to treat various ailments, including Lyme disease. Certain herbs are known for their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help combat the effects of Lyme disease. Some commonly used herbal remedies include:

Cat's Claw: Known for its immune-boosting properties and ability to reduce inflammation.


  • Japanese Knotweed: Contains resveratrol, which has been shown to be effective against "Borrelia burgdorferi".


  • Garlic: Possesses natural antibiotic properties and can help enhance immune function.


  • Oregano Oil: Known for its antimicrobial effects, it may aid in reducing the bacterial load in the body.
