Your Longevity Blueprint 251: Why You're Still Sick: Mold Toxicity & Lyme Disease Part II with Dr. Neil Nathan
Today, I’m excited to share Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Neil Nathan.
In Part 1, we covered mold toxicity in depth, which set the stage for today's discussion. In this episode, we discuss Lyme disease, clarifying why it is challenging to diagnose and highlighting herbal protocols that can be helpful. Dr. Nathan also offers his recommendations for patients who have been struggling for years without finding a solution.
How to treat Lyme disease without worsening herxheimer reactions:
- Reduce treatment doses if symptoms worsen instead of pushing through the discomfort
- Avoid killing the bacteria faster than your body can process the released toxins
- Start with extremely small treatment doses if you are highly sensitive
- Recognize that even tiny amounts of treatment can still move your recovery forward
- Focus on steady, tolerable progress rather than aggressive treatment strategies
