Lyme Disease Survivor - Travis' Envita Review
Travis had to quit his job of 10 years due to his blood pressure spiking uncontrollably, additionally a personal trauma exacerbated his long-term symptoms of body pain and joint issues. He started experiencing neurological problems like brain fog and other manifestations of pre dementia. Despite his deteriorating symptoms and several lab tests, doctors could not diagnose Lyme disease as the cause of his ailments.

“I spent 3 months going to my family doctor of 15 years, a specialist in chronic illnesses, who brushed me off. I don't think people quite comprehend Lyme Disease,” said Travis Davidson, who traveled from Idaho to Envita Medical Centers, a Center of Excellence for Lyme Disease, in Arizona, with the intention of getting his life back on track.
Envita's Emphasis on Personalized Treatment
Travis was suffering with Chronic Lyme Disease Complex, a term used at Envita to describe a host of co-infections accompanying Lyme Disease. Sometimes, like in Travis' case, the infections pass through the blood-brain barrier and enter your central nervous system, causing neurological symptoms. Due to the numerous co-infections, Chronic Lyme Disease Complex can mimic the symptoms of over 300 conditions, making its diagnosis difficult for physicians and facilities inexperienced with Lyme.
However, Envita's extensive proprietary genomic testing and 25 years of clinical experience treating thousands of Lyme Disease patients have equipped our medical experts with the expertise to design personalized and comprehensive treatment plans for each patient. The customized treatment plan targets each patient's genetically identified co-infections, paving the way to a holistic recovery.
Living Life After Decades of Suffering
Envita's unique treatment strategies helped Travis in recovering from his decades long suffering. He had symptoms of joint pain and aches in varying intensity since his teenage years, but it worsened in the past 15 years. “I kept pushing through and telling myself that things weren't real and that I have to deal with it, because that's what the doctors would tell me,” said Travis. He got numerous doses of antibiotics and shots to fix his symptoms, but nothing worked, pushing him to a point where he had to leave his job. Even his neurological symptoms worsened, but none of the specialists he consulted could help him.
Origin of the Disease
“I grew up playing around in the woods, so I probably had ticks on me several times,” said Travis, pointing to the cause of his disease. When a tick infected with the bacteria Borrelia Burgdorferi bites a human, it can transmit Lyme disease and several co-infections which may not manifest symptoms until the patient's immune system is in a weakened state. In Travis' case, a life-changing personal trauma had caused tremendous stress, impacting his immune system, which in turn triggered latent coinfections.
Proprietary Tests to Overcome Synergistic Replication
Often, Lyme disease patients experience a relief in certain symptoms, only to feel some other symptoms aggravate due to synergistic replication. The term synergistic replication is used to define a condition when one infection gets killed in the body, only to trigger a spike in other co-infections, existing in the body. Unlike other places, at Envita, we use Next Generation DNA Sequencing (NGS) tests to improve disease identification, which aids in targeting the different co-infections unique to each patient. The NGS test is CLIA validated and was developed by Envita Medical Centers by testing thousands of samples over several years using the latest in next generation sequencing and proprietary bioinformatics to ensure accuracy.
The results of these tests help us overcome the challenge of synergistic replication, empowering us to identify as well as monitor the infection load through the course of the treatment. “Ultimately, the lab work is the foundation or the building block of what they are going to base their whole regimen of treatment on,” said Travis.
Customized Precision Targeted Drugs
Envita uses a combination of the latest in conventional medicines as well as advanced adjuvant natural therapies, enhancing the efficacy of your customized treatment plan. Our physicians focus on intravenous medication delivery because it vastly improves the bioavailability of the medicines, meaning they are better absorbed by the body over similar oral medications.
Oral medications typically are not strong enough to penetrate the blood brain barrier, but our proprietary drug deployment mechanism called IRAD (Insulin Receptor Antibiotic Delivery) helps shuttle the antibiotics past the blood brain barrier into the central nervous system. This mechanism allows the medications to try and attack any infections causing neurological issues such as brain fog, memory loss, and neuropathy. IRAD enables a deeper delivery of selected antibiotics to target infections and helps stabilize the immune system.
At Envita, a precision combination of antibiotics and adjunctive treatments is deployed to helped tackle the coinfections in Travis' system, including customized integrative agents to strip away the biofilm, a jelly like sludge that houses and protects the Lyme infections from antibiotics, the immune system, and other medications. This approach exposes the infection-causing pathogens and attacks them with detoxing and immunotherapy procedures.
His Envita Call
“These doctors are doing what doctors used to do once upon a time when they cared for their patients,” said Travis, who read about Envita and felt motivated to seek treatment here. “It reads too good to be true, but then you walk in the door, and it really is true,” he added. After completing his treatment here, Travis feels that he is finally “pushing without trying again and living better than he was before 15-16 years old.”
