"These methods can often help the patient who has not found relief from more orthodox approaches"

"Many therapists who work daily and successfully with human energy systmes have felt alienated from the sciences that provide the logical and rational foundation for conventional medicine.  Some of their most remarkable and important experiences, and those of their clients, seem to defy analysis from current scientific perspectives.  A close look at energy medicine resolves this unnecessary confusion and controversy."

"Most problems begin at an energy level"


“The first physical manifestation of imbalance within the body is at an energy level and corrections can be made at this level.  On top of this are the metabolic, structural and nutritional problems that also require attention… stress in turn, causes a reduction of life energy and energy imbalances which ultimately lead to disease.  The disease did not just ‘appear’ from nowhere.  It actually began at an energy level.”

“There is also an emerging understanding that alternative approaches to medicine are not really alternative: they are complementary


 “At the practical level this may mean that more natural, less invasive and safer approaches might be preferable for chronic health concerns, while high tech intervention is the choice in emergency situations… Western medicine has not dealt as successfully with chronic, degenerative disease as it has with illnesses of an acute, infectious nature."

  Chronic Lyme Disease: “The Great Pretender”

    How Can a Disease That is SO Common... Be Given So LITTLE attention?

By Dr. Donald Liebell - a "Lyme Literate Doctor" (LLD)

    A small, but growing number of physicians are certain that Lyme disease is responsible for a great many chronic pain conditions, which may be mis-diagnosed as something else... or not diagnosed at all.  If you've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Adrenal Burnout Syndrome, or an arthritic condition, it is possible that Lyme disease is at least part of the underlying cause of your chronic pain.

EVEN IF you don’t think you’ve ever been bitten by a tick…
you could still have Lyme disease. 

EVEN IF blood tests have all come up negative...
you could still have Lyme disease. 

EVEN IF no doctors have considered it a possibility...
you could still have Lyme disease. 


Your chronic pain and many other symptoms may at least in part, be caused  by this controversial and difficult-to-diagnose condition.  Many a poor soul has been sent to the psychiatrist… their physicians never considering or believing that the Lyme bacteria (Borrelia burgdorfi) was at the heart of the problem.  

Conventional medical tests for Lyme disease are inconsistent, and the subject of Lyme disease itself is controversial.  I have encountered countless patients who have never been tested for it, or have told me that their other physicians refused to test for it.  However, I consider Lyme with a high percentage of my patients.  I suspect that thousands of local residents could be suffering from the effects of chronic Lyme disease, but never know it.  Four out of the five members of my family (including myself) have had it... but NONE of us ever had signs of a tick, or a tick bite!   

You could have Lyme for years and never know it.  Plus you might be incorrectly diagnosed with other conditions because of all the possible symptoms.   The bacterial infection of Lyme disease is usually spread by the bite of one of three species of deer ticks that may carry it.  Deer, mice and other rodents can carry these nasty ticks.  And if you think you’ve got to go camping or live in a wooded area to contract Lyme disease… guess again!  If you live on the east coast of the United States, you’re a prime target!  

    If you’re fortunate to notice a red, circular “bull’s-eye” rash on your skin, you can effectively get treatment right away.  Early antibiotic therapy can save you years of misery.  Unfortunately, you can easily become infected by the Lyme bacteria without even knowing you’ve been bitten.  Not everyone gets the rash.  That’s why many people are clueless that they’ve gotten Lyme disease.  They’ve had it for years, or even decades—undiagnosed and untreated.  

Here are some possible Symptoms of chronic Lyme disease:    

• Fibromyalgia: Lyme disease might be your underlying cause
• Multiple Sclerosis: Lyme Disease may MIMIC some of the symptoms
• Migrating joint pain    
• Chronic Neck Pain
• Muscle pains/ muscle twitching   
• Severe headaches/Migraines  
• Excessive fatigue
• Adrenal Burnout Syndrome 
• Memory Problems    
• Numbness, tingling sensations, paralysis
• Dyslexia
• Seizures
• Irritability
• Depression    
• Panic Attacks
• Mood Swings
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) 
• Sleep Problems 
• Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADD/ADHD)    
• Chills, sweats and skin flushes  
• Tremors 
• Bell’s Palsy optic neuritis
• Trouble swallowing
• Distortion of smell or taste 
• speech difficulties Impaired visual/spatial Processing Heart problems/palpitations Knee pain/arthritis Dizziness

    A study published in 2002 in the American Journal of Psychiatry, revealed that 33% of psychiatric patients having signs of Lyme bacterial infection.  Some doctors are also starting to pay attention to the fact that MRI findings of brain lesions that may be caused by Lyme are similar to those of Multiple Sclerosis.  I know that I am!

Keep in mind that many physicians do not even acknowledge the existence of chronic Lyme disease.  In other words, if the standard blood tests don’t reveal the presence of the bacteria—Lyme may not be considered as being part of the diagnosis.  

If you learn nothing more from this article, remember this:

Wrong Diagnosis + Wrong Treatment = You Don’t Get Well

Unfortunately, Lyme disease is frequently UN-diagnosed!  Why?  There are several reasons.  For starters, laboratory testing can be inconclusive and inconsistent.  There are several blood tests (ELISA and Western Blot) that may be performed, but they all may give falsely negative results.  Fortunately though, when these tests do come up positive, this does accurately confirm the diagnosis.  However this is not good enough.  

I have become quite certain that there are legions of people who are suffering from the effects of Lyme disease, who need comprehensive, holistic treatment.  Many a patient has told me that they were tested for Lyme, but the blood tests said they didn’t have it.   Some physicians diagnose Lyme by correlating symptoms with medical history, and the certain knowledge of a tick bite.  

Conventional Medical Treatment

When treated right away with antibiotics, the Lyme disease bacteria (Borrelia) can be killed off.  It usually takes several weeks.  The problem is that a large percentage of Lyme victims don’t get tested or treated fast enough.  The result is chronic Lyme disease, which is really hard to diagnose with conventional medical lab testing.  The antibiotics often fail once the disease is long established in your body.  Some physicians do not recommend antibiotic treatment for the late stages of the disease, and simply don’t treat it at all.  

In my opinion, the worst part us that many doctors do not even acknowledge the existence of chronic Lyme disease.  If a patient’s blood test is positive prior to antibiotic therapy, and negative thereafter, some doctors consider it “cured.”  Yet many people continue to suffer from various symptoms, despite supposedly effective treatment.  

Does this sound like a “cure” to you?  Does it seem to you that that the blood tests are missing something?

 Complementary and Alternative Medical Treatment

In my practice, I routinely consult with people who have been diagnosed with conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  People with these conditions and others are advised to be tested for Lyme disease.  I am convinced that a great many people with these conditions are at least in part, affected by Borrelia—the Lyme bacteria… despite what blood tests do NOT reveal.

Both the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease remains controversial throughout the conventional medical community.  There is substantial disagreement between doctors and researchers.  However, practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) generally offer a different opinion.  Practitioners, including myself (who utilize approaches beyond only antibiotics, such as Bio-energetic Medicine), agree that Lyme disease is WAY more common than most authorities believe.  We also have experience with consistently effective treatment.  Unfortunately most drugless health care methods receive little or no research funding, which is why they get the label “alternative” in the first place.

I utilize various methods that are geared towards supporting your immune system and  nervous system; to enable your body to fight the effects of Lyme disease.  This means that by traditional medical definition, I do not directly treat Lyme disease.   My experience has revealed to my patients and me that that most Lyme disease patients have many problems with their joints, nerves, muscles, tendons and ligaments that need to be addressed.  I evaluate and treat the spine, the nervous system and the immune system, as part of a holistic approach.  I use various homeopathic remedies to support physical and energetic treatments, including Auricular therapy (Needle-Free European Ear Acupuncture), Atlas Orthogonal  and  Cold Laser therapy       

Many of my procedures fall into the category of , which is a critical component of treatment of people who may have with Lyme disease.   This approach, while not directly for Lyme disease, can be highly beneficial to stimulate your body to fight off the offending bacteria itself.  

Remember, I do not provide direct treatment of Lyme disease, by the strict medical definition.  I am not an infectious disease specialist, nor do I prescribe medication (I recommend every person to seek multiple medical opinions).  I do utilize Bio-energetic Medicine as a complementary and supportive measure to boost your health.  I’ve devoted an entire article regarding this approach.  You can find a link to that article at the end of this one.   

How Did I Come This Knowledge? 

It appeared that my wife, Sheila had tried everything that traditional and alternative medicine could offer.  But despite some improvements, she still was plagued by significant fatigue, mood swings, joint pain, heart palpitations, and memory problems.  The frustration of not being able to adequately help my own wife was unbearable for both of us.  

Nobody, including myself had considered Lyme.  Afterall, Sheila wouldn't be "caught dead" camping in the woods, and she had no recollection of a tick.  Nevertheless, we decided to test for it.  But it wasn't a blood test that led to her freedom from Lyme disease; it was Bio-energetic Auricular medicine.   This sophisticated, European-developed diagnostic method revealed what treatments she needed.  In less than two months, her recovery was extraordinary.  

I must also point out that I too had Lyme, as did my daugther and one of my sons.  Sheila had Lyme disease for many years, and apparently the Borrelia bacteria of Lyme can be passed on to a baby through mother's milk.  I have taken my kids camping in the past (needless to say, they don't want to go anymore!).

Of course I absolutely had to become expert in the same methods that restored my family's health.  If you suffer from chronic pain, fatigue, memory loss, or any of the many symptoms listed in this article... you too could be suffering from undiagnosed chronic Lyme disease. 

In my practice, there’s no need to feel torn between conventional and alternative medical approaches.  If conventional blood testing does indeed give a positive result for Lyme, I first refer you to your family medical doctor to consider antibiotic treatment.  I also recommend the services of a practitioner, Cynthia Sidner, B.S., M.A., CN, who performs a remarkable live blood analysis using a specialized microscope, with video analysis.  Nutritional evaluation can also be an important component of recovery.  Many of my patients also utilize the services of Dr. Stephanie Story, N.D.

Once you have considered or completed antibiotic therapy (successfully or unsuccessfully), I recommend follow-up with Bio-energetic Medicine evaluation and the treatments determined (usually homeopathic supports).
