The Case:  Kim is 37 and lives in a high-rise in New York City For about a year she felt foggy, tired, and plagued by headaches.  She was also experiencing joint pain that traveled from ankle to shoulder to knee.  She tried anti-inflammatories but it only masked the problems.  Her doctors were unable to find the cause of her issues.  It’s not uncommon for people to turn to functional medicine to deal with headaches and inflammation but there was something that made me think there was something else at play in Kim’s case.  The biggest clues were that aside from the pain, she also said she didn’t feel like herself. I knew that we had to get to the source of the inflammation and the roving joint issues.  The Investigation My suspicion was Lyme disease but Kim is a city girl and hadn’t been hiking in areas where she might have been exposed. I needed to investigate whether this might be the cause of her issues as it certainly seemed to explain the collection of concerns.  Dr. Darin Ingels is an expert in Lyme disease and a respected thought leader in natural medicine. He’s the author of “The Lyme Solution: A 5-Part Plan to Fight the Inflammatory Autoimmune Response and Beat Lyme Disease”. His practice deals with chronic immune dysfunction and he’s been successful in using natural methods to reduce the symptoms of Lyme (including his own).  What is Lyme Disease? Lyme disease (also known as Lyme Borreliosis) is a bacterial infection transmitted primarily by Deer ticks. It’s unique because it has the capacity to penetrate different parts of the body in a way that other bacteria can’t. This means, it can travel around the body and it can be difficult to treat. Lyme is also known as the great mimic because the symptoms of the disease can look like many other illnesses and traditionally, doctors have found it very hard to diagnose. Also, there are upwards of 300 different strains of Lyme disease worldwide, with about 100 strains in the U.S. Know Your Ticks There are many different types of ticks and the one that most commonly carries Lyme disease is the deer tick. If you find a tick on you, it’s helpful to know what kind of tick it is. Here are a few pictures to help you identify them. (HealthMysteriesSolved.com)   If You Find a Tick  If you find a tick crawling on you, brush it off. If it hasn’t bitten you, then you are unlikely to have been infected. However, you should do a full tick check since you now know you’ve been in an area where ticks are. When a tick bites you, it stays attached while it feeds. The disease is transmitted from the saliva it secretes into your bloodstream while it is drinking your blood. If you find a tick that is attached to your skin, remove it using tweezers and a magnifying glass, pinching as close to the bite as possible and pulling the tick out slowly.  Avoid the instinct to squash it or scratch it away. Gentle, intentional removal will decrease the amount of the bug’s fluids that enter your system. If possible, save the tick (in a plastic bag with a moist cotton ball so it doesn’t dry out) and bring it in for testing.  Not Just Ticks Lyme disease is most commonly caused by a bite by a carrier known as a deer tick but it’s not just ticks that transmit the bacteria. Some research suggests that mice, rats, and squirrels may also be carriers. Many people write off the possibility of having contracted Lyme because they haven’t been in nature or in a region that is known for having infected ticks. There is also some research being done about the possibility that Lyme disease may be transmitted by mosquitoes, horseflies, fleas, and through the exchange of human body fluids. None of these have been proven conclusively.  Where in the World are Lyme-Infected Ticks? Another factor that can cause doctors to write off the possibility of Lyme is location. For a long time, Lyme was primarily found in ticks located in specific regions of the US (the Northeastern and Midwestern states) but in the past few years, infected ticks have been found in every state - including Alaska.  Symptoms There are some tell-tale signs of Lyme infection, the most significant of which is the appearance of a red bulls-eye like rash around the bite area. This is called erythema migrans and is the most conclusive symptom because it only occurs with Lyme. However, not everyone who gets Lyme disease will develop this rash so doctors have to rely on a collection of other symptoms. These symptoms may include fever, chills, joint pain (that may travel from one area to another), Bell's palsy, swelling of the lymph nodes, sleep disturbances, headaches, and general flu-like symptoms.  Over time, symptoms can progress into neurological symptoms like balance problems, coordination issues, fatigue, brain fog, sensitivity to light and short term memory loss potentially leading to cognitive decline.  Diagnosis Diagnosis of Lyme disease is tricky because unless the patient has (and sees) the erythema migrans mark, the symptoms could be a myriad of other things. Often a patient is initially misdiagnosed and it’s not until the collection of symptoms are considered that Lyme is tested for. The CDC recommends testing for a specific antibody through a blood test to begin. If this antibody is not present, then they will determine it’s not Lyme. If it is present, then they move to additional blood tests.  False Negatives and False Positives for Lyme Disease One of the issues with the traditional Lyme screening method is that the antibody test is just proof that you’ve been exposed. And, there have been issues with that test returning false negatives too because it only picks up 40 - 50% of the people who have it. The challenge with this is that for people dealing with false negative results, the traditional medical system can no longer move forward in diagnosing.  Functional Medicine Approach to Diagnosis Many functional medicine practitioners skip the initial antibody test and go straight to the other blood tests. There are a variety of labs that will conduct different types of tests that can help confirm a Lyme infection. However, many of these lab tests are not covered by medical insurance.  It’s important to do multiple different tests because of how many different strains of Lyme there are. See the references section below for a list of labs.  Traditional Treatment Lyme disease is a bacterial infection so the traditional course of action is to treat it with antibiotics. Often the prescribed length of prescription is not enough to permanently kill off the bacteria (which can go into remission or dormant). During the time of dormancy, antibodies can continue to change. Dr. Ingels says that it’s not uncommon for Lyme disease symptoms to reappear after some time of dormancy. This is what happened to him.  The traditional approach is to attack it again with more (sometimes different) antibiotics. Chronic use of antibiotics may cause severe side effects that can lead to other health issues.  Natural Approach to Treatment There is no consensus on the treatment of Lyme disease and so it comes with some controversy. Dr. Ingels doesn’t say that people should not take the antibiotics, but he does believe that there are lifestyle and diet changes that can help keep symptoms at bay. He is also a proponent of the Traditional Chinese Medicine approach using herbs and acupuncture. However, he notes that everyone is different and it may not work for some.  The main idea behind the natural approach is to support the immune system so it’s better equipped to fight the disease and decrease the symptoms. This allows the whole person to heal. He believes that a shift needs to happen away from just trying to kill the bug with antibiotics.  Don’t Give Up Hope While Lyme disease can be incredibly frustrating (from diagnosis to treatment), Dr. Ingels says you have to be your own health advocate. If doctors are telling you it’s not Lyme and you feel strongly that it could be, get a second opinion, do more testing and seek out a natural medicine practitioner who specializes in Lyme. Lyme can trigger an autoimmune response and develop into series neurological issues if left untreated so be persistent and don’t give up hope of finding the right treatment plan for you.  Mystery Solved I sent Kim to be tested for Lyme. She tested positive for the antibodies and several co-infections.  She embarked on a course of antibiotics but also worked to rebalance her body to help fight the inflammation and calm down the immune response. We also worked on issues in her gut and supported her liver and gallbladder to make sure she was detoxifying well. After 3 months on both protocols, she started to feel better and was able to come off the antibiotics. We continued to support her system with herbs, diet and lifestyle shifts and 3 more months later, she reported feeling back to normal. It’s important for Kim to keep her stress in check and maintain a healthy lifestyle to keep her immune system strong. Eliminating Health Mysteries For Kim we were able to put together all of the clues, find a solution and help her regain her health. Could Lyme disease be the missing clue for you or someone in your life?  Links: Resources mentioned Thanks to my guest Dr. Darin Ingels.

This week, John covers Fight Lyme Disease and the Inflammatory Auto-Immune Response Episode 79: Fight Lyme Disease and the Inflammatory Auto-Immune Response Date: Friday, November 30, 2018 Time: 9:30 AM Nanjing, China (GMT+8.00) SAMA Expert: Dr. Darin Ingels During this interview, Dr. Darin Ingels will share: The truth about Lyme disease and his personal experience How to get rid of Lyme disease with natural therapies Inflammatory Autoimmune Response

After suffering through a lengthy Lyme infection himself (with classic presentation), which initially responded to antibiotics but didn’t resolve the infection, Dr. Darin Ingels went on a years-long quest to recover, returning to naturopathic principles and discovering essential less-used protocols. The results are in his book: The Lyme Solution: A 5-Part Plan to Fish the Inflammatory Autoimmune Response and Beat Lyme Disease (Penguin Random House), and he has been treating patients with Lyme and co-infections successfully since then. In this clinical pearl dense podcast, Dr. Ingels pulls from his experience as a clinical microbiologist by training, to share what he is doing today in practice – from labs that work and those that don’t, using immunotherapy, the association with mold allergy and mycotoxicity, to botanical protocols and when to use antibiotics. While he doesn’t use the word “functional,” it’s clear that his approach to Lyme embraces a full functional approach, and that addressing the whole person, and their environment, is essential to recovery.

Dr. Ingels, author of “The Lyme Solution: A 5-Part Plan to Fight the Inflammatory Autoimmune Response and Beat Lyme Disease”, joins the program to discuss his experience with using low dose naltrexone (LDN) as a treatment for Lyme disease.

DR. DARIN INGELS Author of THE LYME SOLUTION: A 5-Part Plan to Fight the Inflammatory Auto-Immune Response and Beat Lyme DiseaseAccording to the CDC, over 300,000 cases of Lyme are reported every year in the United States, and it is one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the U.S. and Western Europe. Millions suffer from Lyme worldwide, and countless more have Lyme but don’t know it. THE LYME SOLUTION by Dr. Darin Ingels offers a thorough, holistic approach to treating this rampant disease. Unlike any other book on the market, Dr. Ingels not only focuses on the Lyme infection, he explores the chronic, inflammatory autoimmune response that Lyme triggers. As a result, the body is on high alert for too long. His plan bolsters patients’ faltering immune systems and assists them in recuperating from poor health. THE LYME SOLUTION is a straightforward guide to how people with Lyme disease can advocate for their own health and use innovative treatments to maintain wellness. This book can help doctors and patients use the least invasive ways to facilitate treatment. By following his plan, patients can become even stronger than they were before the Lyme and better equipped to manage recurring symptoms. In an interview, Dr. Ingels will discuss: · Why Lyme is an autoimmune disease as much as an infection · Why Lyme testing is so problematic · Why long-term antibiotics often fail · How Lyme mimics other illnesses and what to look out for · The natural ways to treat Lyme · The best diet for those suffering from Lyme · The most effective exercise regime for those who have Lyme · Kinds of herbs—not antibiotics—that help treat Lyme · How to overcome chronic, debilitating symptoms of Lyme · How to get better sleep when you have Lyme · How parents can limit children’s risk of acquiring Lyme · Ways parents can help children who have Lyme Lyme Disease by the Numbers: · 300,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme disease in the U.S. each year, but only 10% of those cases are reported to the CDC · 3x increase in reported cases of Lyme disease since the 90s · 823,000 Google searches per month for Lyme disease. Interest in the topic, particularly in the summer months, has steadily increased over time. · 95% of reported cases of Lyme disease in 2015 came from the following states: o Connecticut o Delaware o Maine o Maryland o Massachusetts o Minnesota o New Hampshire o New Jersey o New York o Pennsylvania o Rhode Island o Vermont o Virginia o Washington www.dariningelsnd.com Twitter: @lymeexpertND Facebook: @lymeexpertND ABOUT THE AUTHOR Darin Ingels, ND, FAAEM, is a respected leader in natural medicine with numerous publications, international lectures, and more than twenty-six years of experience in the healthcare field.
