About Us:

Lyme Research & Healing Center (LR&HC) is an industry-expert in delivering natural treatment and remedies for patients with multiple chronic infections. Here at LR&HC, we help chronically ill patients to identify and resolve their biggest obstacles to healing: infections, toxins, and inflammation. We help our patients to quickly regain their health so they can be the hero of their family, work, and their causes. We also teach medical providers how they can use cutting edge technology and remedies to help their patients regain their functionality more rapidly.

We have found that helping over a thousand chronically ill people overcome their biggest health care challenges can be solved through applied research and customized treatments and remedies to produce real results with patients.

We have also found that when patients are freed from their debilitating infections and illnesses they become more passionate about helping others, which leads to great things happening in the world.

That’s why it’s our mission over the next 10 years to heal over 1 million people from the prison of Lyme disease and multiple chronic infections through a thousand medical providers, so they can make a positive impact with their families and bring positive change to the world.

The truth is that it can be lonely and hard to be a Lyme literate health care provider and we want to provide the next generation treatments, remedies, community, and inspiration for all those practitioners (and their patients) who choose this healing journey along with us.
