Lyme Disease IV Treatments in Edmonton 

Our Naturopaths offer IV therapy for recovery from Lyme Disease

 

Our Naturopathic Clinic often performs bridging therapies for Edmonton patients after antibiotic treatment for Lyme Disease. 


We see benefit from four therapies primarily:


1) IV Glutathione

2) IV Phospholipids

3) IV Alpha Lipoic Acid   

4) IV B Vitamins


Our Naturopathic Doctors often give these back to back to hasten recovery of neurological function. They can be helpful for reducing brain fog, paresthesias, and improving energy in our Edmonton Lyme Disease patients. 


Lyme Disease Testing

Lyme Disease testing in Edmonton is unfortunately unreliable. We believe many patients are given false negative test results through Elisa and Western Blot or C6-Elisa Testing because many patients with Lyme are seronegative (they do not produce antibodies to Borrelia) and thus it's grossly underreported. Furthermore, Lyme disease symptoms are often vague and resemble numerous other disease and autoimmune conditions and because of this, misdiagnosis is common.


Most infections from tick bites involve other co-infections that produce similar symptoms but do not show up on standard testing as well. Lyme disease and co-infection testing can only be done properly by a few labs in the world. Our Naturopathic Doctors usually suggest Lyme Disease Testing for our Edmonton patients through Armin Labs in Germany. We can easily run Eli-Spot testing (highly sensitive method to detect Borrelia burgdorferi and Co-infection reactive T-cells).


Because there are 100 strains of Borrelia in North America and more than 300 strains worldwide our Naturopaths always run co-infections just in case a test is in accurate for the particular Lyme strain. If we need to reconfirm a positive test we may send testing to IGeneX Labs. If you think you require Lyme Disease Testing contact our Edmonton clinic and we can set up a consultation with one of our Naturopaths to determine the best tests for your needs.

Lyme Disease Recovery


Lyme disease recovery is a slow process.

Our Naturopaths have seen good benefit from this quadruple therapy in our Edmonton Lyme patients. These treatments do not however address the infection. These are usually done in conjunction or after antimicrobial therapy for Lyme (antibiotics, Cowden, Byron White etc). 


Phospholipids "lipid exchange" with glutathione and alpha lipoic acid can hasten recovery.


IV Glutathione in particular can provide rapid and profound symptomatic improvement in particular.


Most often our Naturopaths have performed these therapies after patients finish antibiotic treatments.


Our clinic has treated many Edmonton patients that have started these therapies abroad.

TruMed's Naturopathic Doctor usually pair the Glutathione IV with a bag of B Vitamins with extra B1 & B12 for additional improvements in nerve health and energy & brain fog.
