Lyme Disease Tip Summary:
Dr. Chris Turnpaugh emphasizes a crucial truth often overlooked in Lyme recovery: true healing comes from treating the whole person, not just attacking the infection.
-
Go Beyond Pathogen Eradication
-
Killing Borrelia or co-infections is just one piece of the puzzle.
-
A comprehensive approach must address the broader impacts Lyme has on the body.
-
-
Support the Body’s Detox Pathways
-
Chronic Lyme leads to toxic buildup, especially during die-off reactions.
-
Strengthening detox systems (liver, lymph, gut) helps reduce symptom flare-ups and supports sustainable healing.
-
-
Prioritize Neurological and Emotional Health
-
Lyme often affects the nervous system, causing brain fog, mood swings, anxiety, and more.
-
Mental and emotional support are just as important as physical treatments.
-
-
Reduce Pain and Immune Dysregulation
-
Chronic inflammation can lead to persistent pain and immune system imbalances.
-
Addressing these can improve quality of life and accelerate progress.

“It’s not just about killing the bug—it’s about supporting detox, neurology, mental health, pain, emotions, and immune shifts.” – Dr. Chris Turnpaugh
