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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
