In this episode of LymeBytes!, Dr. Myriah Hinchey sits down with Dr. Richard Horowitz to explore why many chronic Lyme patients remain sick — and what’s finally changing in treatment.Dr. Horowitz shares decades of clinical insight, including the development of the Horowitz Lyme-MSIDS Questionnaire (HMQ) and the groundbreaking MSIDS (Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome) model, which explains why chronic illness is rarely caused by infection alone.The conversation dives into biofilms and persister cells — dormant bacterial forms that evade standard antibiotics — and how Dapsone combination therapy is transforming outcomes for patients who previously failed treatment.They also discuss the critical role of Babesia, Bartonella, mold toxicity, immune dysfunction, mitochondrial damage, and long COVID in blocking recovery. Dr. Horowitz explains why chronic illness is fundamentally driven by inflammation and why treating infection alone is not enough.This episode offers a powerful, hopeful look at how a comprehensive, multi-system approach is helping patients achieve lasting remission — without lifelong antibiotics.- - - - - Dr. Richard Horowitz, MD, is a board-certified internist and medical director of the Hudson Valley Healing Arts Center.

In this episode of LymeBytes!, Dr. Myriah Hinchey sits down with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt to explore the powerful and often overlooked connection between chronic “stealth” infections — including Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia — and the development of cancer.They discuss how cancer is not simply a genetic mutation or isolated tumor, but a systemic failure of the body’s biological terrain. Chronic infections can suppress immune surveillance, trigger pro-inflammatory cytokine storms, promote angiogenesis, and even help cancer evade detection.Dr. Karlfeldt challenges the conventional tumor model, introducing the idea that tumors may function as protective “garbage dumps” where the body walls off toxins and pathogens. The conversation dives into mitochondrial dysfunction, the Warburg effect, and how metabolic shifts allow cancer cells to bypass apoptosis.The episode also highlights integrative therapies that aim to shift the terrain rather than just destroy cancer cells — including Photodynamic Therapy (PDT), oxidative IV therapies such as EBOO and ozone, mitochondrial support with NAD+, detoxification, nutrition, emotional health, and sleep optimization.This episode offers a paradigm-shifting perspective on both Lyme disease and cancer — and actionable steps to restore resilience at the root level.Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, ND, PhD, is a naturopathic physician and founder of the Karlfeldt Center.

In this episode of LymeBytes!, I sit down with Dr. Myriah Hinchey and Dr. Nancy O’Hara to explore the often-overlooked connection between vector-borne infections—like Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia—and sudden-onset neuropsychiatric conditions in children, including PANS, PANDAS, and Basal Ganglia Encephalitis.We discuss how these conditions are not simply infections, but immune system dysregulations that require a holistic, multi-pronged approach. Drs.

Dr. Myriah Hinchey and Dr. Jaquel Patterson discuss neuroinflammation, tick-borne infections, psychiatric symptoms, Lyme, Bartonella, Babesia, neurotransmitter imbalance, integrative psychiatry, herbs for mental health, MIND diet, sleep optimization, and lab-guided treatment for infection-driven mental health issues. In this episode of LymeBytes!, I sit down with Dr. Jaquel Patterson, ND, MBA, IFMCP, a naturopathic physician and integrative psychiatry expert, to explore the profound connection between tick-borne infections and mental health. We discuss how chronic infections like Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia can “set the brain on fire,” leading to psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and even psychosis.Dr. Patterson explains the biological mechanisms behind this connection, including blood-brain barrier disruption, microglia activation, and thinning of gray matter in critical brain regions. We also break down how inflammation alters neurotransmitters, decreasing protective calming chemicals like serotonin and GABA, while increasing excitatory, inflammatory glutamate.This episode covers practical ways to identify infection-driven psychiatric symptoms, including treatment resistance, abrupt personality changes, and new-onset mental health crises. Dr. Patterson shares her multi-benefit approach, combining herbs, nutrients, and lifestyle strategies—such as curcumin, rhodiola, passionflower, the MIND diet, and sleep optimization—to calm neuroinflammation and restore brain function.Specialty labs like OAT panels and neurotransmitter testing are emphasized to guide personalized treatment.

Dr. Myriah Hinchey and Dr. Michael Ruscio discuss gut-immune connections in chronic Lyme, SIBO, Candida, probiotics, elemental diets, low-histamine strategies, immune support, detoxification, and gut-based foundations for healing chronic illness.In this episode of LymeBytes!, I sit down with Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC, a gut health and functional medicine expert, to explore one of the most foundational pieces of recovery in chronic Lyme disease: the gut-immune connection.Dr. Ruscio explains how 70% of the body’s immune cells reside in the small intestine, and why gut dysfunction—through inflammation, malabsorption, and toxic burden—can sabotage even the best Lyme treatment. We break down how to distinguish bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) from fungal overgrowth (Candida), and why knowing your gut type is critical to choosing the right diet and therapeutic strategy.We dive into Dr. Ruscio’s “Triple Therapy” probiotics approach, which combines Lactobacillus & Bifidobacterium, Saccharomyces boulardii, and soil-based strains for maximal gut clearance. He also covers advanced strategies for “stuck” patients, including short elemental diets, low-histamine adjustments, and the psychology of food to prevent over-restriction stress.This episode is essential for anyone navigating chronic Lyme, co-infections, or persistent fatigue—because the gut is often the foundation for immune recovery, detox, and long-term healing.Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC, is a functional medicine doctor and gut health expert.

Dr. Myriah Hinchey and Dr. Nafysa Parpia discuss Lyme disease vs mold illness, mycotoxins, Cell Danger Response, chronic inflammation, MCAS, immune dysregulation, detoxification, peptide therapy, and the correct order of operations for healing chronic illness.In this episode of LymeBytes!, I sit down with Dr. Nafysa Parpia, ND, Director of Naturopathic Medicine at Gordon Medical Associates, to unpack one of the most confusing and overlooked issues in chronic illness: the overlap between Lyme disease and mold illness—and why so many patients stay sick even after removing triggers.Dr. Parpia explains how Lyme and mold are both neurotoxic and inflammatory, yet present with distinct hallmark symptoms that can guide diagnosis. We discuss wandering pain versus sinus-driven illness, cognitive dysfunction, environmental exposure histories, and why misidentification leads to stalled recovery.This conversation goes deeper into the five root causes of chronic illness—including multiple infections, environmental toxins, structural blockages, trauma, and genetic susceptibilities—and introduces the Cell Danger Response (CDR) as a key reason the body remains stuck in inflammatory loops long after the original threat is gone.Dr. Parpia and I emphasize the critical “order of operations” for healing: safety, nervous system regulation, structural support, immune stabilization, detoxification, and only then—pathogen killing. This episode offers clarity, validation, and hope for patients navigating Lyme disease, mold illness, MCAS, autoimmunity, and complex chronic conditions.Dr. Nafysa Parpia, ND, is the Director of Naturopathic Medicine at Gordon Medical Associates.

We discuss groundbreaking botanical research conducted in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University, revealing that certain herbs can outperform or synergize with antibiotics against Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella.This conversation goes far beyond killing microbes. Dr. Schweig introduces his “whole terrain” approach to healing—addressing gut health, detoxification, nervous system regulation, inflammation, and immune resilience. Using the “overflowing sink” analogy, he illustrates why patients cannot heal by targeting pathogens alone.This episode is essential listening for anyone navigating chronic Lyme disease, co-infections, mold illness, or stalled recovery who wants a smarter, more sustainable path forward.Dr. Sunjya Schweig, MD, is a functional medicine physician specializing in chronic Lyme disease, tick-borne infections, mold illness, and complex inflammatory conditions.
