LYME DISEASE INFORMATION

WISCONSIN IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING BECOMING THE 2ND MOST INFECTED STATE IN THE COUNTRY!

Lyme disease can be a chronic and often debilitating disease and may take 10 to 20 or more doctors to finally discover the diagnosis. Greater than 50% of individuals infected will never know they have been bitten by a tick or ever see a rash. The absolute best and only effective approach to treatment is an integrative one! A sufferer may or may not choose to use antibiotics but may have more challenges recovering without naturopathic care!

Chronic lyme disease is a multi-system, multi-organ disease with the infection and other possible co-infections creating profound immune, metabolic and hormonal dysfunctions that may mimic conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, ALS, psychiatric conditions, autism spectrum disorders, and so much more.

Dr. Saxe is here to help anyone with concerns about possible acute or chronic lyme disease. Visit the following websites for more education:

IGeneX Inc. is a Reference Laboratory specializing in State-of-the-Art Clinical and Research Testing for Lyme Disease and Associated Tick-borne Diseases. This is the only lab I will use to help determine if an individual is infected. Your medical doctor will NOT use this test. Do not trust standard labs or testing procedures. Most will give you a false negative result.
