Lyme and Tickborn Illness
Lyme disease is extremely common in Wisconsin. The state consistently ranks among the top in the U.S. for reported cases. In recent years, Wisconsin has reported thousands of confirmed cases annually, often ranking in the top five states for Lyme disease incidence. However, it is even more prevalent than recognized by the CDC because the conventional diagnostics for Lyme can have up to a 50% false negative rate. The CDC recognized that Lyme disease is a clinical diagnoses, meaning the patients history, presentation along with screening tools done by a clinician trained in recognizing and treating Lyme is required for diagnoses. There are many chronic and debilitating health conditions that often are caused by Lyme disease, yet this root cause is never identified therefore people continue to have a decline in health.

What Are Mycotoxins?
Certain molds produce toxic compounds called mycotoxins, which can be harmful when inhaled or ingested. These toxins can lead to various health issues, including respiratory problems, neurological symptoms, and immune system disruption. Mold illness can be hard to diagnose.
​
Often times mycotoxin exposure will lead to multiple chronic symptoms that go undiagnosed ​and underappreciated by traditional health care providers for many years. Mycotoxins can lead​
to severe illness such as dementia, respiratory problems, autoimmune disorders, autonomic or nervous system dysfunction, kidney and liver disease.
Our treatment strategies involve an individualized approach consisting of nutritional and Immune support and include individualized options based on acute or chronic infection, symptom profile, severity of disease and patient preference.
