In This Edition:

Lyme Disease Treatment

Greetings all!

May is Lyme Disease Awareness month. We are in a world-wide epidemic of this disease.

We have been effectively treating patients for this for the past 9 years. We have patients who have come from all over the world. Many have seen 10 or more practitioners in an attempt to solve the problem.

For chronic Lyme, the usual antibiotic therapy rarely is effective. It just prolongs the disease. In my experience, when patients are treated properly they get over their Lyme disease and become normal again. It’s not a lifelong sentence of pain and fatigue as long as they continue a healthy life-style.

So there is hope for Lyme patients. Call us if you need help.

Have a great week.

Dr. David I Minkoff, M.D.

Jennifer Baer Hosts Talk for Lyme Disease Awareness

JenniferJennifer Baer ARNP, will be hosting a free talk in recognition of May being Lyme Disease Awareness Month.

Lyme Disease: The Silent Epidemic

Lyme disease is a misunderstood condition known as the “great imitator” because its symptoms mimic those of other chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s, fibromyalgia and more.

Jennifer explains, “It is essential to help to raise the public profile of Lyme disease because it is rapidly reaching epidemic proportions. So many patients who come to our clinic have been misdiagnosed with another condition but when we test them we find the root cause of their condition is Lyme. It is only then that they can start receiving the correct treatment and can begin to recover.”

About Dr. David Minkoff, Medical Director

Dr. David Minkoff graduated from the University of Wisconsin Medical School in 1974 and was elected to the “Phi Beta Kappa” of medical schools, the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honors Medical Fraternity for very high academic achievement. He then completed both a Pediatric Residency and a Fellowship in Infectious Disease at the University of California at San Diego. He worked at the University of California and Children’s Hospitals in San Diego as an attending physician in infectious disease while conducting original research on Ribaviron, a broad spectrum anti-viral agent to fight disease. He also co-directed a neo-natal intensive care unit and worked in emergency medicine. In 1992, Dr. Minkoff’s wife Sue, a Registered Nurse, became interested in nutrition and health and began to go to lectures from some of the experts in the field. At the time, Dr. Minkoff was pretty fixed in his view of traditional medicine and it took a lot of convincing to get him to come to one of these lectures. After hearing Dr. Jeffrey Bland speak, Dr. Minkoff had a eureka moment and began pursuing the alternative field with a vengeance. Based on this new knowledge Dr. Minkoff and his wife set up a small clinic in 1997 to help some friends with their medical problems. What began as an experiment blossomed into Lifeworks Wellness Center, one of the most successful clinics for complementary medicine in the United States. In the process, he gained expertise in Biological medicine, integrative oncology, heavy metal detoxification, anti-aging medicine, hormone replacement therapy, functional medicine, energy medicine, neural and prolotherapy, homeopathy, and optimum nutrition. He studied under the masters in each of these disciplines until he became an expert in his own right. Dr. Minkoff is one of the most in-demand speakers in the field and wrote an Amazon best-selling book called The Search For The Perfect Protein. The demand for the products and protocols he discovered became a catalyst for founding BodyHealth.Com, a nutrition company that now manufactures and distributes cutting-edge nutritional solutions for the many health problems of today. Dr. Minkoff writes two free online newsletters, “The Optimum Health Report” and ”The BodyHealth Fitness Newsletter”, to help others learn about optimum health and fitness. Dr. Minkoff is an avid athlete himself and has completed 43 Ironman Triathlons. To keep his fitness maximal, he lives the lifestyle he teaches to others and tries to set an example for others, so they can enjoy a life free of pain and full of energy.
