Lyme Disease Survivor- Sophia's Envita Review
Sophia spent most of her childhood struggling with severe pain and inflammation around her joints, but her symptoms of Lyme disease were never treated properly till she launched a nation-wide search to seek treatment for her aggravating condition. “Before I went to Envita, I was under water... and now I am on the sailboat, and I like the view,” said Sophia, who is finally able to live her life after suffering with this tick-borne illness for over a decade. At Envita Medical Centers, a Center of Excellence for Lyme disease treatment, in Scottsdale, Arizona, she found a solution to the myriad of health problems pulling her down since childhood.

Worsening Symptoms Over the Years
Despite showing symptoms from the age of 8, Sophia was not diagnosed with Lyme disease till the age of 13. She went to several doctors in different states, but it did not help in improving her condition. With many patients, this delay in diagnosis often leads to complications as the bacteria Borrelia Burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease, may cross the blood brain barrier affecting the patient's central nervous system.
“Two years after my diagnosis, I started feeling the neurological effects like brain fog and motor problems,” said Sophia. She was feeling overwhelmed as her basic comprehension abilities were getting affected. “Just living through everyday life was becoming very difficult,” she added.
Proprietary Tests to Avoid Delay in Diagnosis
Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial to avoid worsening symptoms, as experienced by Sophia. At Envita, we use a proprietary next-generation sequencing test called PathoDNA, which can detect Lyme disease and other associated coinfections with greater accuracy than standard Western Blot or ELISA testing.
Envita's Personalized Proprietary Treatments
Standard healthcare treatment for Lyme disease often includes a course of oral antibiotics, which may not be enough to kill the bacteria once it has penetrated the blood brain barrier. To overcome this limitation, we use our proprietary technology called IRAD (Insulin Receptor Antibiotic Delivery), which aids in shuttling antibiotics and other customized immunotherapy medications across the blood-brain barrier. “I started feeling much better after doing IRAD,” said Sophia, as she emphasized how everyone around her noticed the difference in her mental faculties and remarked about it.
Customized Immunotherapy to Address Infections
At Envita, we customize treatment for every patient based on their unique infection load. In several cases, due to the delay in diagnosis Lyme disease turns chronic with various coinfections and secondary infections affecting the patient. To counter each patient's unique infectious load, we use a powerful combination of antibiotics and advanced immunotherapy medications, which are custom compounded at our in-house pharmacy. Our powerful combinations are designed to attack pathogens and rebuild patients' immune system, paving their way to a holistic recovery.
Our Lyme Literate Doctors (LLD) Instill Confidence
Sophia was thrilled when she heard the doctor was familiar with all her symptoms and had helped many patients recover from a similar condition. “I explained my story in-depth, and it was emotional,” said Sophia, relieved that a doctor finally understood her after years of confusion and misunderstanding with diagnosis and treatment. Lyme disease can mimic several disorders which is why inexperienced doctors often misdiagnose this tick-borne infection, leading to aggravated symptoms and disease progression.
Her Envita Connection
In Sophia's case, the long delay in diagnosis and lack of appropriate treatment had led to several complications which were finally resolved by a customized treatment plan designed exclusively for her set of health problems. She feels fortunate about coming across Envita while browsing through the web for appropriate treatment options, as she was willing to travel to any part of the country to seek help.
“We had watched videos about it, done our research...and I just had a really good feeling,” said Sophia as she described her strong urge to seek treatment at Envita. With our powerful and customized treatment, Sophia is free of her medical issues, and now she is enthusiastic about sailing through life while cherishing the “sailboat view!”
