New Lyme Treatments and Testing

Northeast Natural Medicine, a new integrative naturopathic medicine clinic and therapeutic massage center in Newtown, has begun offering newly released treatments and testing for Lyme disease made available to practitioners just in the last few months. NNM’s Dr. Shawn Carney will be discussing them during a free lecture at Woodbury’s New Morning Natural and Organic market on Saturday, September 18.

These additions include Pekana’s Bryon White Herbal Formulas, which blend potent botanical extracts made with a 1:1 herb-to-alcohol ratio and a specially energized 7-step process to provide an additional dimension of anti-microbial support. Pekana is an international leader in homeopathic-spagyric medications, and their formulations that target Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella, have been welcomed to the fight against chronic infections. Additionally, there is a new comprehensive test called “My Lyme Immune ID,” available through Neuroscience Inc., which can be used to examine a Lyme-specific immune response in either acute or chronic infections. This testing combines measuring Lyme memory T-cell response and cytokine analysis with the standard western blot to assess both cellular and humoral immune activity. Both Northeast Natural Medicine and Neuroscience Inc. are in-network with multiple insurance companies, thereby making management of these potentially devastating diseases accessible to many people.

Dr. Carney’s lecture at New Morning will be on Saturday, September 18 from 2 to 3 pm. New Morning is located at 738 Main Street South in the Middle Quarter Mall, Woodbury.
