HAPPENINGS

or even years later. This recurring problem happens because the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria (which causes Lyme disease) like to “hideout” in tissues where blood flow and, therefore, oxygen is reduced, such as in connective tissue. Borrelia has also been found to create biofilms, which are like a walled-in city, and the bacteria can survive there in safety until antibiotics are no longer in the body’s system. Then the Borrelia bacteria will reemerge, causing symptoms of

Lyme disease to appear once again.

After treatment of the acute phase with antibiotics, Lyme Disease and its co-infections can cause lingering chronic pain in various muscles and joints and other health problems.

In addition to specific sophisticated types of blood testing, we employ energetic methods to reveal and treat this often-hidden problem. The numerous modalities we use include homeopathic and botanical medicines, Biomagnetic Pair Therapy, energy-based therapies, Hyperbaric

Oxygen, Neurobiofeedback, and specific dietary recommendations based upon testing.

As you can see, there are many natural approaches to treating pain. Pain is often multi-faceted and therefore the resolution of the problem may require a multi-faceted approach. Dr. Adam Breiner practices naturopathic medicine at Whole-Body Medicine in Fairfield, CT. Patients from Connecticut and surrounding states seek his care for Lyme Disease, Brain Injuries, such as stroke, concussions, TBI, as well as enhanced Brain Performance.
