Infections

At the Center for New Medicine in Irvine, we understand that chronic infections, such as Lyme disease, present unique challenges that can significantly impact your quality of life. These infections often persist despite conventional treatments and can lead to a compromised immune system, making you more susceptible to other health issues. Our approach goes beyond the traditional reliance on antibiotics, which can sometimes cause long-term health problems.

A Comprehensive Approach to Chronic Infections

Chronic infections require a holistic and integrative approach to truly address the root causes and support long-term recovery. At the Center for New Medicine, we use functional medicine to get to the heart of these infections. Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on treating specific symptoms, functional health seeks to understand the underlying causes of health issues. By examining the whole person—physically, mentally, and emotionally—functional health practitioners aim to create a comprehensive picture of an individual’s health. This holistic perspective allows for more personalized and effective interventions that can lead to lasting health improvements.

Lyme Disease Expertise

Lyme disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, is a notoriously difficult infection to diagnose and treat. Its symptoms often mimic those of other conditions, leading to misdiagnosis and prolonged suffering. Our team at the Center for New Medicine is skilled in the latest diagnostic techniques to accurately identify Lyme disease and its co-infections. We then tailor a treatment plan that includes a combination of therapies designed to target the infection and support overall health.

Beyond Antibiotics: Advanced Therapeutics

While antibiotics are often necessary in the initial stages of treating bacterial infections, their long-term use can disrupt the delicate balance of your gut microbiome and weaken your immune system. At the Center for New Medicine, we employ advanced therapeutics to enhance your body’s natural ability to heal. These include:

  • Herbal and Botanical Medicine: Utilizing the power of natural compounds with antimicrobial properties to combat infections.
  • Nutritional Support: Personalized nutrition plans that bolster the immune system and improve overall health.
  • Detoxification Programs: Helping the body eliminate toxins that can contribute to chronic infection and inflammation.
  • Immune Modulation: Using therapies that support and regulate the immune system to improve its response to infections.
  • Ozone Therapy: A treatment that introduces ozone into the body to increase oxygen levels and stimulate the immune system.

Functional Medicine: The Path to Healing

Our functional medicine approach is rooted in the belief that the body has an inherent ability to heal when given the right tools and support. By focusing on the whole person, rather than just the infection, we create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses all aspects of your health. This may include lifestyle changes, stress management techniques, and other integrative therapies that work synergistically to restore balance and promote healing.

Personalized Care for Immune Compromization

Chronic infections can lead to immune compromization, leaving you vulnerable to additional health problems. At the Center for New Medicine, we prioritize strengthening your immune system through:

  • Customized Supplement Protocols: Tailored to your specific needs to fill nutrient gaps and support immune function.
  • Stress Reduction Techniques: Chronic stress weakens the immune system; we offer various modalities to help manage stress effectively.
  • Gut Health Optimization: Since much of the immune system resides in the gut, maintaining a healthy gut is crucial for immune health.
