Lyme disease is often persistent and complex—triggering chronic fatigue, joint pain, cognitive fog, and co-infections. At Patients Medical in NYC, our integrative Lyme disease treatment blends conventional testing with natural antimicrobials, herbal and nutrient therapies, immune and gut support, and detoxification. Led by Dr. Rashmi Gulati, we go beyond symptom relief to address pathogen burden, immune resilience, and long-term recovery.
What Is Lyme Disease?
Lyme is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted via tick bites. It may co-exist with other pathogens like Babesia, Bartonella, and Ehrlichia. If untreated, it can cause multisystem issues: neurological, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and immune exhaustion. Early treatment is critical—but our integrative protocols also support chronic or persistent Lyme cases.
We work to support:
We use botanicals like Japanese knotweed, cat’s claw, andrographis, and oregano oil—combined with scientific-grade nutraceuticals (e.g., high-dose vitamin C, glutathione precursors, omega-3s) to inhibit Lyme and co-infections. Each protocol is personalized based on lab results, treatment history, and symptom burden. This natural antimicrobial approach supports pathogen clearance and reduces inflammation—without the long-term antibiotic side effects often seen in prolonged Lyme treatment.
Lyme often suppresses or over-activates immune function. We rebalance immunity using targeted nutrients (vitamin D, zinc, mushrooms), adaptogens (ashwagandha), and anti-inflammatory botanicals (turmeric, quercetin). These support macrophage and T-cell activity while reducing cytokine-driven inflammation, helping the immune system better manage pathogens. Our protocols are designed to restore balance gently, making treatment more sustainable and better tolerated.
We focus on neutralizing free radicals and promoting safe detox using glutathione, NAC, alpha-lipoic acid, and B-complex vitamins. IV infusions may be recommended for deeper oxidative support. Gut healing is critical—through probiotics, L-glutamine, and antimicrobial herbs—to eliminate bacterial endotoxins that burden the liver. Together, this comprehensive support helps repair cellular damage and improve metabolism during Lyme recovery.
Chronic Lyme can dysregulate sleep, mood, and the stress response. We guide patients through sleep optimization, gentle movement, cold exposure, sauna, mindfulness, and vagal tone practices. These modalities support physical repair, circulation, detox, and nervous system balance—enhancing resilience to treatment and daily stress. Consistent lifestyle habits play a key role in sustaining long-term progress.
David, 39, had chronic fatigue, brain fog, and joint pain despite multiple antibiotic courses. Advanced labs revealed Lyme and Bartonella. He completed a 16-week program: herbal antimicrobials, immune modulation, gut healing, detox support and lifestyle care. By week 12, his energy was fully restored, cognitive function normalized, and inflammation markers halved. Maintenance protocols have kept him symptom-free year-round.

Yes—many patients respond to evidence-based herbal protocols combined with immune and detox support when guided by lab testing and symptom tracking.
Yes. Tick-borne pathogens like Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, and Mycoplasma are screened and treated within your personalized care plan.
Typically 12–24 weeks depending on chronicity, co-infections, and immune status. Most patients see marked improvement within 6–12 weeks of consistent care.
We review all supplements and medications to prevent interactions and adjust therapy accordingly—ensuring safety and synergy.
Yes—with careful timing. We sequence detox support and gut healing to prevent herx reactions and ensure smooth clearance.
Absolutely. IV nutrient support—like high-dose vitamin C, magnesium, glutathione—can hasten energy recovery and reduce oxidative stress alongside oral treatments.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
