Phage Therapy’s Effectiveness with Lyme Disease – Does It Work?

When patients arrive atBiologix Center for Optimum Health, it is often after having spent years seeking relief from chronic illnesses. One of those illnesses, which is one of the most commonly treated by Biologix’s doctors, is chronic Lyme disease.

According to Dr. David Jernigan, founder and CEO of the Biologix Center, many doctors dismiss chronic, ongoing Lyme disease as a genuinely chronic condition due to the wide variety of symptoms that it can cause. But at the Biologix Center, this is never the case. Dr. Jernigan explains how the reality is that every system in the body can become damaged as a result of Lyme disease and, therefore, every system must be addressed before health can be restored. The Biologix Center recognizes that their patients’ symptoms are very real, which is why they commit to using everything available to them to promote true healing.

Dr. Jernigan and the team at the Biologix Center have spent nearly 30 years helping patients with non-responsive chronic illnesses. Many of those patients have exhausted conventional medical treatments in search of relief. The success that Biologix is able to deliver stems from its commitment to treating the underlying causes of disease, rather than just the symptoms that patients experience.

At the Biologix Center, their doctors’ specialty is working with the natural structure and function of the body to help restore optimum health in chronic and previously treatment-resistant cases. These cases most often require knowledge of the entire body, something few physicians can address in the present mainstream medical specialist setting.

Treating Lyme disease with phage therapy

Chronic Lyme disease can manifest in a wide variety of ways. Common symptoms include rash, fever, headache, fatigue, and muscle or joint pain. In some cases, these symptoms only manifest when the patient is experiencing physical or emotional stress.

Traditional treatment of Lyme disease is generally limited to antibiotics designed to kill the bacteria that cause the disease. While these antibiotics can achieve a certain degree of success, they are rarely 100 percent effective. Typically, only 85 percent of the bacteria are eliminated, leaving 15 percent that are mutated and antibiotic-resistant as a result.

Lyme disease patients present conventional medical doctors with more of a challenge since antibiotics are the conventional doctor’s only solution. No one treatment method has been found to be successful for the vast majority of patients. Patients are often told they are cured after a set duration of antibiotics, whether or not the patient’s symptoms are actually gone. This leaves many patients wondering why they are not feeling better or why they are often left feeling much worse.

Inducing phages to promote healing

Phages — also known as bacteriophages — are viruses that only infect bacteria, unlike viruses such as influenza or pneumonia that infect and affect the human body. Induced Native Phage Therapy (INPT) induces bacteriophages already present in the body to eliminate the host bacteria that they have infected. In cases where that bacteria is the root cause of a chronic condition, such as Lyme disease, INPT provides patients with significant relief.

Biologix’s treatment of Lyme disease begins with the Phelix Borrelia-Phage test, which determines if the patient has the Borrelia bacteria that causes the disease. The Phelix Borrelia-Phage test is the most sensitive lab test for Borrelia infection and can be used to detect the bacteria even after patients have received aggressive antibiotic treatments. Once Biologix confirms the patient has a Borrelia infection, they can confidently provide treatment for Lyme disease with INPT.

Extensive lab testing has proven that INPT rapidly eliminates Lyme bacteria in some people faster than any other treatment and with virtually no side effects. At Biologix Center, their team of professionals have discovered exactly how to use INPT to induce or activate the bacteriophages to completely eliminate their host bacteria.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
