Compromised immunity, particularly in patients with chronic conditions like Lyme disease, creates a unique circumstance when patients acquire acute infections. Integrative practitioners are faced with the challenge of treating patients that are already weakened and also with the reality that most of the medical reports on acute infection in patients with comorbidities concern patients with cardiovascular and metabolic conditions. When patients with Lyme disease—a group already underrepresented in the medical record—acquire an acute infection, they are at a high risk for severe symptoms, hospitalization, and atypical response to standards of care. Understanding the nuances between chronic diseases like Lyme disease and acute illness is critical to providing responsive care that incorporates the whole, unique individual—a hallmark of integrative medial practice.

In this cutting-edge lecture, renowned Lyme expert, internist, and author Dr. Richard Horowitz will examine common pathophysiologic links between Lyme disease and acute infections, and apply similarly adapted treatment principles. Don’t miss this opportunity to participate in this webinar and gain first-hand understanding of how to best support the overlooked patient populations suffering from rare and underdiagnosed chronic illnesses. Dr. Horowitz will also offer a sneak preview of his upcoming Lyme workshop slated for May 21-23.
