Tickborne illnesses have seen an uptick in the number of new infections and diagnosed each year over the last 3 decades. Originally discovered nearly 30 years, Lyme Disease originates from the city of Lyme, CT, where the local population had a surge of infections and illnesses that doctors struggled to diagnose. Since then, Lyme Disease has become the most undiagnosed and untreated epidemic of our times, with new cases reported in all 50 states in the United States and in a majority of all inhabited areas throughout the world. While Lyme Disease is often attributed to tick bites, recent studies from the medical community have also shown that it may also be known to be transmitted by other insects such as mosquitoes, blood transfusions, and even gestationally during childbearing. Lyme Disease is a bacterial infection caused by the spirochete, also known as “Borrelia Burgdorferi” which can also mimic a variety of other illnesses and autoimmune conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Lyme Disease is also referred to as the “Great Imitator” as it has been documented to mimic virtually any diseases, leading to a severe variance in the number of misdiagnoses, with the averaging Lyme Disease patient receiving numerous misdiagnoses before finally receiving a “Lyme Diagnosis”. Lyme Disease is a serious condition affecting multiple areas of the body with symptoms appearing within 1-2 weeks of being exposed to the Borrelia Burgdorferi bacteria following a vector-borne exposure, typically in the form of a tick bite. While it is well documented that following a tick bite, the infamous “Bulls-Eye” rash will appear as a round surrounding the bite, a majority of diagnosed Lyme patients do not recall a tick bite or ever getting the rash. Since the infection varies and can manifest in over 100 different symptoms with no two people being the same, Lyme Disease is usually not even considered a viable diagnosis by most physicians. Even if testing is performed, standing to test for Lyme Disease misses over 90% of Chronic Lyme Disease cases. The standard testing method is an immunoassay test of IgG and IgM antibodies followed by a Western Blot test for confirmation. In addition, most doctors use the criteria outlined by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) to define/identify a positive test.   The problem with the CDC guidelines and their application to diagnoses is that the CDC criteria was never meant for diagnosis, it was meant for epidemiological surveillance (tracking).
