Why Co-Infections Matter

Healing from Lyme disease isn’t just about addressing Borrelia burgdorferi. Many people with chronic Lyme also carry a hidden burden of co-infections—bacterial, parasitic, viral, and environmental triggers that suppress the immune system, confuse the nervous system, and prolong illness. These co-infections can be acquired simultaneously or reactivate during periods of stress or immune suppression. Identifying and addressing these infections is critical. Bioresonance testing and conventional lab methods can both play a role in discovering what’s truly preventing healing.

What Are Lyme Disease Co-Infections?

Co-infections are additional infectious or toxic burdens that occur alongside Lyme disease. These are a few of the many co-infections that exist: - Bacterial: Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Mycoplasma, Rickettsia - Parasitic: Babesia - Viral: Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Mononucleosis (Mono), Shingles (Varicella Zoster Virus) - Environmental: Mold and Mycotoxins These co-infections may be missed by conventional testing and require a broader diagnostic view to fully assess and support the individual.

Bartonella

Description: A vascular and neurological intracellular bacteria, often referred to as 'cat scratch disease'.

Symptoms: Rage, anxiety, psychosis, insomnia, swollen lymph nodes, striae, eye pain.

Conventional Testing: PCR, serology, BAPGM culture

Bioresonance Testing: Detects energetic frequencies associated with Bartonella species

Babesia

Description: A malaria-like red blood cell parasite that disrupts oxygen transport.

Symptoms: Night sweats, chills, head pressure, dizziness, air hunger, anemia, emotional instability.

Conventional Testing: PCR, FISH, blood smear, antibody testing

Bioresonance Testing: Detects parasitic energetic stress patterns

Anaplasma

Description: A bacteria that targets white blood cells and contributes to systemic inflammation.

Symptoms: Fever, fatigue, low white blood cells, muscle aches, liver enzyme abnormalities.

Conventional Testing: PCR, IgG/IgM panels

Bioresonance Testing: Identifies early immune disruption signals

Ehrlichia

Description: A genus of intracellular bacteria that infect immune cells and mimic many Lyme symptoms.

Symptoms: Headache, GI symptoms, fever, confusion, rash.

Conventional Testing: PCR, serology

Bioresonance Testing: Detects intracellular immune dysfunction

Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Description: A cell-wall-deficient bacterium that can cause long-term respiratory, cognitive, and autoimmune symptoms.

Symptoms: Dry cough, brain fog, chronic fatigue, joint and muscle pain, memory issues.

Conventional Testing: PCR, antibody panels

Bioresonance Testing: Detects energetic burden of intracellular Mycoplasma strains

Rickettsia (Spotted Fever Group)

Description: A vascular bacteria that invades endothelial cells and contributes to systemic inflammation.

Symptoms: Rash, fever, muscle pain, nausea, confusion.

Conventional Testing: PCR, antibody panels

Bioresonance Testing: Detects neurovascular energetic disturbances

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)

Description: A herpesvirus responsible for mononucleosis and linked to chronic immune dysfunction.

Symptoms: Chronic fatigue, brain fog, sore throat, swollen glands, viral reactivation.

Conventional Testing: EBV panel

Bioresonance Testing: Identifies latent/reactivated viral frequency stress

Mononucleosis (Mono)

Description: The acute, symptomatic phase of Epstein-Barr Virus infection.

Symptoms: Fever, extreme fatigue, swollen tonsils, sore throat, enlarged spleen.

Conventional Testing: Monospot test, EBV IgM

Bioresonance Testing: Detects active viral imprint and immune stress load

Shingles (Varicella Zoster Virus)

Description: A reactivation of the chickenpox virus causing nerve inflammation and painful rash.

Symptoms: Blistering rash, burning pain, nerve tingling, post-herpetic neuralgia.

Conventional Testing: VZV IgG/IgM

Bioresonance Testing: Detects nervous system viral activity

Mold / Mycotoxins

Description: Toxic mold spores and their byproducts that disrupt the brain, immune system, and detox pathways.

Symptoms: Brain fog, sinus congestion, headaches, fatigue, light sensitivity, EMF sensitivity, static shocks, mood swings.

Conventional Testing: Urine mycotoxin panels

Bioresonance Testing: Identifies mold species and toxic burden affecting detox pathways and neurological functio
