- This is Part 1 of the IGeneX Bootcamp titled "A Practitioner's Guide to Diagnosing and Treating Tick-Borne Diseases." Two of the most knowledgeable and influential members of the tick-borne disease community, Dr. Joseph Burrascano, Jr. MD and Dr. Tom Moorcroft, MD, hosted an immersive three-hour webinar on the diagnosis and treatment of tick-borne diseases. Topics included how to clinically diagnose Lyme disease and the co-infections, the most accurate testing options for each disease, custom treatment protocols, patient case studies and more.
I'm having great relief from taking sweet wormwood, ivermectin and dabbling in parasite tinctures cleanses, not cured but doing way better
I’m taking herbal tinctures for my naturopath, and they really help as well! Japanese knotwood, cats claw, astragalas, etc. ivermectin is great stuff!! Looking into ozone therapy next.
@@-living4jesus4ever- Im shocked at what methylene blue is doing for me, i added it last week, amazing
@@-living4jesus4ever- omg try methylene blue!! I added it a week ago, amazing results
On your own?
How much ivermectin do you take and how often?
Tick bites were always just a thing that happened...until our neighbor got Lymes. It was before anyone ever heard of it. She and her husband diagnosed her before they found a doctor who recognized it, and by then she'd had it for years. Despite being treated, she had the symptoms for decades but the CDC says it couldn't be Lymes so she couldn't get help.
When I got Lymes I only knew it because of her experience. I didn't have the target rash, and I had been landscaping so had reasons for all my aches and pains...except the ache in my jaw.
My doctor took it seriously and started treatment immediately, before the test results came back even, and I have been fine.
I never had a bite rash either. Found out recently IgG test shows 2 strains Lyme and babesios. Negative IgG and pcr. Another thing to consider is mold toxicity, which I test high on 2 mycotoxin groups. This can hinder and make tick disease treatment ineffective. I’ve lost my trust in the USA medical system. Texas practitioners are horrible.
@TRyanBenoitMusic
In the vicinity of Knoxville, TN meniere's disease and benign positional vertigo are common. The cause is unknown.
I knew multiple individuals who had one or the other. I noticed that mold was common near the living quarters of some of them and suggested it might be related, and of course, I got ignored. I even got ignored by the friend who noticed that her symptoms went away when she left the area for vacation only to have the symptoms return when she came back to Knoxville.
Then I met a nurse who told me about her mold allergy. Guess what the symptoms were? Same as benign positional vertigo (meniere's is the same plus loss of hearing).
@@TRyanBenoitMusicI'm in the Midwest and believe me they're just as horrible here😞
@@micaonyx5301on my relatives South Dakota farm, my uncle could easily get 20-30 tics a day! That almost gives me ptsd!
Wow! Good doctor!
Excellent information. One piece of feedback is to START with methylene blue. Infected patients are tired and have mental health issue. Methylene blue addresses both of those and the infections.
I have late stage Lyme disease but the Dr is not treating my Lyme disease at all been really sick I need IV treatment so that I don't die I don't understand why Drs are not treating Lyme disease in Ohio this has to change I need to get treatment so I don't die
@@kathleenragan-sq5cmawe.
Sorry.
I hope you find help.
WOW WOW WOW. I am blown away by this info. I had a tick in Wisconsin embedded into my scalp when I was 12, nothing was done other than pulling it out. I am 45 years old now. I was diagnosed in 2008 with fibromyalgia because they ran out of options. I asked a million times to be tested for Lyme's and the Drs refused. And now my husband was bit by 2 ticks in FL in the last 2 months. The most recent one which was a week ago was a Lonestar and he has a bullseye. Dr gave him one dose of doxycycline 😢. What do I do????
Look into the “healhive ”
Take an igenex test! The full panel one. It will tell you exactly what’s going on and which strains you have with which coinfections, etc. Start some really good herbal tinctures with a naturopath that kill bacteria like cats claw and Japanese knotweed etc. then check out Dr vosloo in Utah!
How is your husband now? Does he have symptoms?
I'm an hour in to this webinar. All this info is great, but im wondering where one finds a doctor to receive this kind of attention and care for lyme disease and coinfections?
After years of wondering what the heck is wrong with me, I am about 75% sure I may have Lyme. I know it will be a challenge to find a doctor on the UK NHS who will have a clue what I am talking about. I received tick bytes in the US years ago but only now do I find out about chronic Lyme.
@@rustybolts8953 They have Lyme in the UK, I just got it in Scotland about a month ago.
Dr Kelly McCann. The spring center, Costa Mesa, California. An excellent functional medicine doctor. She has saved my life.
A lot of the doctors who seriously treat Lyme are afraid to pop their heads up too much publicly.
@@rustybolts8953 it took me twenty years of suffering to find a someone in a white coat who was actually a qualified doctor. A "Functional Medicine MD" is the answer if you have that term in the UK. They are much more qualified than your standard issue doctor. I'm in Southern California.
Thank you for this. I had no idea IGeneX existed at least 12 years ago! I got my first chronic diagnosis in 2018 and so far, in Texas, physicians are behaving as dumbly as a bucket of rocks as far as diagnosing what strains are inside me; they're focusing on antibiotics and bariatric oxygen therapy, which are only good for initial infection, and for "last resort" toxic overload relief in the bloodstream. Our governor is stupid also and doesn't create fair state laws for disability sufferers. I have done the full course of Nutra Medix protocol for Lyme, without any further diagnosis, last year, and all the viruses did was multiply out of my lower spinal fluid and outer heart sac into my left ankle, left knee, lymph nodes, and ramp up their inflammatory attack on my thyroid. I'm permanently fat and swollen with fluid at 250 pounds no matter what eating plan or exercise plan I am on. I can't stand up for more than 20 minutes at a time or acute inflammation goes right back into my lower spine. I am on the search for a physician who will order the IGeneX test. I am not risking any of my money on "it worked for others" and not risking my monety on otherwise good natured physicians who want to fumble around and keep patients health hanging in limbo for fear of what the state licensing board says they can and can't do; I want to be in remission like Dr. Tom! Thank you IGeneX for making a clear method for diagnosis and successful treatment!
How is your diet? Should be cutting out dairy and all grains for sure. That will help with your inflammation and make your symptoms go waaay down.
I left California for Texas 9 years ago and moved back about a year ago. I loved everything about Texas EXCEPT THE DOCTORS. They are just completely behind the curb on everything which I just did not expect.
@@holylabsgetting rid of ALL grains especially wheat has been very helpful.
@@theantiqueactionfigure Oh good it’s not just me. I have had the exact same experience in the last 12 months with Texas practitioners, doctors. Five of them really did not know what was going on in my body for six months, prescribing many anti depressants, one mentioned mold, toxicity. Then it took going to a functional medicine doctor in Austin to get a full test and diagnosis four months ago. Leaky gut, mold toxicity, detox gene defect, EBV flare up. I have been doing supplemental and diet protocols, I found out I have had or still have two strains of lyme and babesiosis. I still want a more thorough diagnosis of the lyme and the option of going on the correct antibiotics if needed. The functional medicine doctor is not a MD. $7k out of pocket so far. Lost my trust in the USA medical system. I am originally from Massachusetts and the doctors there always consider Lyme disease with certain symptoms. I am moving back up there next month, I have had enough.
I’ve had the same experience with practitioners in Texas. Read my comment below.
I was on this webinar, and it was very interesting! Thank you for this possibility!
Dr. Richard Horowitz, Lyme Doc in NY wrote a book, "How to Get Better". I just ordered it from Amazon. He's had much success with healing those with tick illnesses. He uses this lab. He has an active office but I called and they're not taking new patients right now. I grew up down the road from his office. I should have gone in there but little did I know.
I have it, too! I think I have every book imaginable on Lyme! I’m still not well, but I’m better 18 months into treatment for a new Babesia Mycroti infection that was alive in my blood! My doctor has never seen this before and she’s been around and studied this for along time. This made several chronic and latent infections rise up including viruses. No wonder I was so sick and had swirling headaches!
However, after starting to kill it off, I went through HORRIFIC malaria symptoms! I’m glad I wasn’t alone then, but I am now, and I’m afraid to be alone sometimes.
Thank you for the latest updates.
I just wanted to add one more comment: although I saw this webinar I think that Dr. Tom's nonstop advertising campaign once you indicate an interest in becoming a patient is off the hook and totally unecessary. Once his office had my email they spared no effort in trying to convince me that I should do as he does once he makes me well and go back out into the woods where all the ticks are and live it up. What unmitigated GALL to think that all his patients have his same tastes and want his same lifestyle! The personality he portrays in his advertising was in-your-face-gym-bootcamp-style promos, and I'm seeking out another Lyme specialist.
I agree, after watching this a second time. Thanks for the tip!!
I am still wondering why Lyme disease is being treated with antibiotics instead of antiparasitic medicines. I have read many medical literature articles calling the spirochete an obligate parasite? Meaning it must have a host to live. There's a older book titled The Biology Of the Parasetic Spirochete. Maybe this is why the spirochete isn't being eradicated from the body. Sean's perfectly logical. Are there any studies where they tried Anti-Parasetic drugs?
I'm not sure, but I've heard people say they got somewhat better with ivermectin which is interesting
In Germany they already have a vaccine for lyme,and it is mandatory for everyone working in farms.
can you share more details?
Really?
Hi. I know this video is two years ago but I hope you can give me some feedback. My Lyme eia screen was positive. Then my Lyme IGG and IgM are both negative. IGG bands 41, 30 and 18 were seen. I was told that I do not have Lyme. Is this the case or should I still get treatment with doxycycline?
Really informative ! Thank you !!
what to do if you have a lot of different symptoms and none of the doctors acknowledge the existence? some even say lyme disease is not in the Kansas City area.
Send your bloodwork to Armin labs in Germany. So sad that lyme isn't recognized in the west. So many are suffering from this disease. I'm now taking methylene blue and doxycycline. It's been a game changer!
Get some doxycycline. Order it from Mexico if you need to.
They don’t know that for a fact
It’s everywhere!
I was bite by a tick twice at San Antonio Ranch in Sunnyvale Area Silicone Valley. 2012 I think. Exactly 10 years later a train hit me with psychosis and gut issues. This is so fascinating and so creative
I got bit in Santa Cruz 2nd year of pandemic Hell on wheels!!! 🫶🏿
Horrifying is what you mean
So, the choice either you take doxy 10 or 21 day and risk having long term symptoms caused by autoimmunity or you start many months long combined antibiotic treatment and have not only above mentioned, but also side effects from that massive treatment? I got a round red patch on one tight without seeing any tick, started Doxy on the first day. Took it alone for 10 days. The diagnosis was confirmed by laboratory. The skin changes dissapeared in a week and nothing happened also afterwards...
I desperately need help. Colorado doctors have very little to no care for any patient for any reason. We don't have any Lyme literate doctors here. I'm type 0 negative blood, I'm a female, 38 years old. I was 7 years old and I thought I had 2 moles on the back of my neck, but they were ticks. One of them was popped like a pimple but the other one was to far inside my body and I had to go to the emergency room and they removed it. Through the years I was pretty much fine. 5 years ago I got cat scratch fever. Part of the claw is still in my leg so I think that's when my whole world changed. I'm so scared I'm gonna die. I'm going through the most with all kinds of these symptoms. I am at a loss.
If you can’t afford treatment by a provider look into herbs.. Dr Rawls, Cowden protocol, there are others
That’s Lyme. How awful!
I have all these symptoms, and at 69, after 18 months of treatment, and being told by two Lyme doctors that I wouldn’t need better for another 2 years, I’m afraid I WON’T die!
I also had lyme when i was a kid, and they told me it was healed..but it Just hide itselfs...i went on carnivore way of eating, and healing the gut😊so that i can put mine in remisson
You hardly die on this but is hell to suffer from such a desease there is a Doctor here in Houston Patricia Salvato infectologyst that treat this
Do you also have some nevrological issue?
Thanks for the information.
Can I please get help?
Dr. Tom your Bartonella ticks are profound. Time to treat.
Is the same treatment for Lyme in California Oregon & Washington????
Yes
This was posted 8 months ago, but he mentions people not wanting to go to the hospital because of the pandemic, so I assume this is a couple years old. Is there an update to this? Wondering if there is any newer information.
Can you take serrapeptase or nattokinase if you have a pacemaker? I'm wondering if it could dissolve the silicone or plastics around the leads and or battery. My cardiologist has no idea and I don't know who to ask. I have a positive western blot for lyme and went into heart failure. He said he knows nothing about Lyme and won't treat it. No MDs in Oregon treat it or even believe in it.
Dr. Vosloo at RestoreBio Clinic in Utah is supposed to be amazing!!!
Dr Marty Ross utube
Thank you
Yes I do
In Germany some people are successful in taking a milk thistle tinkture called Karde
Relapses are mostly due to parasites who are infected as well
Have you found relief from parasites and what works well for you? How is your Lyme disease now?
I've been diagnosed with Lyme been fighting for 10 yrs with no help
I was told that Azlocillin is not available yet
So we really need something the size of a hockey puck with intracellular and extracellular abx, Colonel Sanders secret herbs and spices.
On a serious note do you commonly see increased intracranial hypertension in chronic lyme pts, white matter lesions etc. Should IIH reverse after treating chronic lyme and co-infections??
Thanks, interesting video lecture👍
My adult son has this and has several Lyme infections. They don’t treat the lesions, but he has horrible brain inflammation, autoimmune encephalitis, had many severe TBIs, can only think straight part if the time, is in chronic head and body pain.
I wish I could help you with your question, but you are not alone.
@@Tinyteacher1111 A red light device has really helped my son. Really helps with TBI. It's slow and he's not recovered but so far it's the best thing I've found. He's 27. Lyme is passed in utero 😞
@@GallieSallie His was passed in utero? I’m so sorry! I was bitten several times since childhood, and my newest diagnosis was a live Babesia Mycroti! Omg! I went through malaria symptoms for weeks or months as it was being killed off!
Has anyone tried whole stevia powder? Or extreme heat therapy?
Yes,I had extreme heat in my treatement in Spain.
Where is Dr Moorcroft’s office? Does he offer telehealth?
Do you think peptides work ?
Not only ticks but biting flies and moskitos can make you sick.
Life is totally different....only given 21 days of doxy.....now over 6 months...no quality of life. My doctor said it's plenty..and she Googled it. Bedbound.......😢😢
I've been diagnosed with Lyme been fighting for 10 yrs with no help 8:26
Is this testing ever covered by insurance?
no
@@markdavis5176 Sometimes, depending on the doctor and your insurance.
Yes.
😢It depends on how your doctor writes it up. My doctor checks for things that indicate there’s Lyme infections, but it doesn’t look like it’s looking for Lyme; however, I found out I have a LIVE form of Babesia Mycroti that my doctor has never seen before.
I had morgellons 2 years. I had blood gene test wich cover 17500 pathogen. But no special finding.
14:00 min this is horrible … now Canadian vets are refusing to test a dog who has been bitten and infected by a tick … until 2-3 months later !!!!! It’s to late by then … but this is how the gov is trying to study larger infections …. By using our pets as Guinea pigs !!!!!
SICKENING!! I would never want a dog to go through what I’ve been through!
Do you accept virtual patient I am.suffering and almost feeling so bad
Wow ,Thanks for sharing, your right it's a nasty disease,,,,,
I know this was a while ago but can I get the name of the Doctors in Maine? Been suffering for years with no luck finding a Lyme literate Doctor. PLEASE HELP! Thank you
In Spain there is a very good specialist.I recomend him.
Just treat them withh 284 drugs for 17 years !!!! 😂😂😂
lol!
Hey do some spell check so you might look somewhat legitimate. Bottom of page just above "Privacy and Terms" your disclaimer reads the word.........mplementing What is that Dr.???????????????? I would just use snake oil myself.
Carnivore help me😊
More medical cartel BS
It is not rare that when people get baptized (this is all what the new testimony is about, the baptism adult in water that is God's present for us to go to his kingdom ..and avoid hell), then they are miraculously cured.
