In this episode, Aaron and Sarah talk about the primary treatments used at Envita Medical for treating neurological Lyme disease. Sarah went to treatment in 2013 for late-stage neurological Lyme disease and Envita saved her life. After being reinfected in 2018 she returned and did a second round of treatment in 2019.

Segment 1 FIGHTING is a mindset!

~Patient Care Coordinators are a vital link between you and all your physicians. They keep tabs on you throughout your entire visit, make sure you are getting to your outside appointments. So many times throughout my years of battling chronic Lyme I would wish that someone could be in charge of me, give me advice, or help me make decisions, that is what the Patient Care Coordinators do for you, it is fantastic.

~NMD’s-Naturopathic Medical Doctor (integrative) Most of the physicians at Envita are Naturopathic Medical Doctors which is my favorite type of physician because they problem-solve with a wide variety of natural modalities.

~PTSD-I definitely battled PTSD while out at treatment for the 2nd time. It was prepared for the reality that I was leaving my family for 10 weeks and would be living in a hotel. I was even prepared for the intense Mon-Fri treatment schedule, but the emotional weight of being back at treatment, having my life once again be put on hold was and still is immense. I’m honestly still trying to figure it out.

Segment 2-HEALING always consists of choices

~Housing while at Envita Medical ~If you fully implement all the protocols (outside) then you should in some way be prepared for it to be all-encompassing…and yet totally boring at the same time

~Ozone therapy

~Bemer PEMF Mat

~Hydrogen Peroxide IV - is an antiviral therapy that is especially helpful for Lyme patients due to co-viral infections. Envita uses a unique formula that is able to pass through the blood-brain barrier

~DMPS Chelation removes heavy metals from the body. Improves your ability to fight infection

~Glutathione push - IRAD is the neurological repair program that completely changed my life back in 2013. This time it didn’t disappoint, after the 4th treatment I just felt like I could think on another level, I had a more executive function. The possible benefits of IRAD can be: Deeper delivery of the antibiotics Penetration into the central nervous system via insulin Helps infections that impact the nervous system

  • Detoxifies the liver
  • Immune Modulator
  • Potentiates the antibiotics to kill the infection

~Ketamine can help with resetting the neurological system, wiping it clean so that the synapsis connections can connect properly, it can be helpful with tremors, insomnia, depression, addiction.

~Exosome treatment-Exosomes are a subtype of membrane vesicle released from the endocytic compartment of live cells. They play an important role in endogenous cell-to-cell communication. Previously shown to be capable of traversing biological barriers and to naturally transport functional nucleic acids between cells, they potentially represent a novel and exciting drug delivery vehicle for the field of gene therapy. Existing delivery vehicles are limited by concerns regarding their safety, toxicity, and efficacy. In contrast, exosomes, as a natural cell-derived nanocarrier, are immunologically inert if purified from a compatible cell source and possess an intrinsic ability to cross biological barriers. Already utilized in a number of clinical trials, exosomes appear to be well-tolerated, even following repeat administration

Segment 3-LIVE

~Environment is HUGE

~Support system is HUGE (if you don’t have this, if you are surrounded by toxic people who can’t or won’t support you, find new people, start there) This is not your fault but it is your responsibility.
