This inflammation can affect the heart and its vessels, the gut and its biome, the liver, as well as the brain’s neurons and cognition. Chronic inflammation is caused by an out-of-balance immune system and can affect any part of the body in different ways. There are different types of inflammation. He has even developed a uniquely effective program for treating stubborn Lyme disease infections, while also simultaneously strengthening and rebuilding the patient’s immune system and overall health.Īt LifeWorks, the treatment protocol includes the administration of ozone therapy in combination with other modalities: Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy ( PEMF) and Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy ( MAS Mat) are offered to patients with a lot of pain as one of their symptoms IV Therapy is very beneficial for boosting the patient’s immune system Glutathione supplementation is used for detoxification, repair of injured nerves, and improvement of symptoms of brain fog.Many conditions that can cause brain fog are inflammatory conditions. David Minkoff is considered a world-renowned Lyme disease expert with over 15 years of experience in treating the disease. People come from all over the nation to be treated for Lyme disease and we have many patients fly in from around the world for treatment. LifeWorks Wellness Center in Clearwater, FL is considered one of the top Lyme diseases clinics in the nation. Because of this a whole wellness approach to treatment is necessary to eradicate the disease and regain a person’s health and well-being. Over time many other problems occur due to the Lyme disease infection such as a compromised immune system, persistent and worsening brain fog, viral infections, nutritional deficiencies, chronic fatigue and pain, neurological diseases, and other symptoms. Lyme disease treatment can be complex due to the way it infects the body.
Examination of the patient’s blood in specialty labs that do much more detailed analysis for the presence of Lyme disease than conventional test labs.A blood test for Lyme disease – including examining the blood under a microscope to see if there are spirochetes present.A detailed physical exam using biofeedback called Autonomic Reflex Testing.Discussion of the possibility of having Lyme disease whether it is from a tick bite or a mosquito.All of these factors contribute to symptoms of brain fog.ĭiagnosis and Treatment of Brain Fog due to Lyme Diseaseīecause Lyme disease is so widespread and often misdiagnosed, every patient seen at LifeWorks Wellness Center is screened for the disease. Finally in some cases of untreated Lyme disease, infection may result in inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain, called meningitis. There is also very often a buildup of toxins in the bloodstream due to mold or yeast overgrowth. Other infections take hold and cause the immune system to fight harder and harder to heal the body, causing inflammation throughout the body. In addition, another chemical present in brain infections called quinolinic acid contributes to brain fog.Īnother reason Lyme disease causes brain fog is that it compromises the immune system and the body’s intestinal flora. As the cells flood the brain, inflammation results, causing brain fog. Because lyme disease burrows into the brain to protect itself from being eradicated, brain cells produce cytokines which tell the immune system to send healing cells to the brain to help fight the infection.
If undiagnosed and not treated immediately, the bacterium spread throughout the body and often go into hiding in different areas, including the brain. Lyme disease can affect any organ of the body including the brain and central nervous system.
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 300,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme disease in the US every year.” This number may actually be quite low due to the fact that many people are misdiagnosed with other diseases because lyme disease mimics other diseases. Lyme disease is transmitted by deer ticks and sometimes by mosquitos. Lyme disease is caused by infection of a corkscrew-shaped bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. Brain fog is a common symptom of lyme disease and appears to be a toxic reaction to the disease. Brain fog and Lyme disease often go hand in hand.
