  • Episode 508: MSIDS & Chronic Lyme - and Interview with Doctor Richard Horowitz
    Apr 26 2025
    Dr. Richard Horowitz returns for an in-depth discussion about the evolving science of Lyme disease, co-infections, and the MSIDS model—his groundbreaking 16-point system for diagnosing and treating chronic illness. From tick-borne infections to environmental toxins, neuroinflammation, and immune dysfunction, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of chronic Lyme disease. Ali Moresco shares her powerful personal healing journey using Dr. Horowitz’s Dapsone Combination Therapy (DDS), illustrating how integrative protocols and identifying “terrain” issues like mold toxicity and MCAS made full recovery possible. 🧩 Key Topics Discussed 🔬 What Is MSIDS? MSIDS = Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease SyndromeA polymicrobial, systemic model acknowledging Lyme, co-infections, and non-infectious drivers of chronic illnessBased on 41 years of clinical experience and over 13,000 patients 🧪 Infections at the Core The “Three B’s”: Borrelia (Lyme), Babesia, BartonellaLyme is almost always polymicrobialMold, metals, viruses, and more can block healing if unaddressed 💊 Dapsone Protocol Deep Dive 9-week oral protocol + pulsed therapyWorks on Lyme, Bartonella, and other intracellular infectionsNeeds prehabilitation: detox mold, balance adrenals, correct deficienciesAli shares how Dapsone worked better than 2 years of IV antibiotics 🛠️ The 16 MSIDS Points (Briefly Highlighted) InfectionsImmune suppressionMold/MycotoxinsMitochondrial dysfunctionHormonal imbalanceSleep disruptionNutritional/mineral deficienciesNeuropsychiatric issuesGut health, MCAS, POTS, etc. 📊 The MSIDS Questionnaire Available free from Project Lyme or Dr. Horowitz’s website CanGetBetter.comScoring 63+ indicates a high probability of Lyme or a related conditionHelps differentiate Lyme vs. mold vs. viral vs. trauma-based illness 🔥 Herxing and Inflammation Good vs. bad Herxheimer reactionsImportance of managing inflammation through:NAC, glutathione, methylene blueNRF2 activators (curcumin, sulforaphane)LDN & melatonin (for inflammasome control)“You have to Herx to heal — but you don’t have to suffer.” 🌱 Terrain and Environment Mold, trauma, toxic relationships, air quality, and diet can all impact recoveryImportance of addressing mental health and emotional traumaSafe environments are essential to healing 🧠 Neurological Lyme and Brain Fog Lyme and co-infections can lead to severe neuropsychiatric symptomsBart = rage, anxiety, OCD; Babesia = air hunger, night sweatsNeurological damage is often reversible with proper treatmentSleep is a major factor; discussed tools like pregabalin, Lyrica, valerian, melatonin, and CBT 🧬 Personalized Medicine & Future of Lyme Research Role of AI and genetics in future protocolsHope for multi-center clinical trials (Dapsone trial in planning)Dr. Horowitz is transitioning to a consult model in 2025 and working with RFK Jr. 🧠 Neuroplasticity Tools Recommended Primal Trust (Dr. Cathleen King)Gupta ProgramDNRS (Annie Hopper)EMDR, neurofeedback, limbic retraining 🧪 Testing Labs Mentioned IGeneX (immunoblot for Borrelia, Babesia, Bartonella)T-Labs (Bartonella PCR, Babesia oto cloy)Galaxy Diagnostics (Bartonella)RealTime Labs (mycotoxins) 💬 Powerful Quotes > “This model tells you there’s more than one reason why you’re ill. We have to pull all 16 nails out of the foot — not just one.” > — Dr. Richard Horowitz > “You have to Herx to heal. But with the right support, you don’t have to suffer.” > — Dr. Richard Horowitz > “I wouldn’t be where I am today if we hadn’t looked beyond just Lyme.” > — Ali Moresc ✅ Takeaways for Listeners You’re not crazy. Migrating pain is real and is a hallmark of Lyme.If you're still sick, you haven’t addressed all 16 nails — keep going.You need more than antibiotics — you need to heal your terrain.Hope is real. Recovery is possible.

  • Episode 507: LIVE from ILADS: Dr. Louis Teulières - Advancing Lyme Disease Diagnostics with Phage-Based Testing
    Apr 26 2025

    Key Takeaways:

    • Dr. Louis Teulières, a multi-national doctor with an MD and PhD, has been actively involved with ILADS since 2016 due to his research on bacteriophages at the University of Leicester.
    • Frustrated with the limitations of antibiotic treatments for Borrelia, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, Dr. Teulières explored bacteriophages as a novel diagnostic and therapeutic approach.
    • Due to regulatory challenges in administering phage therapy, Dr. Teulières and his team developed a phage-based test that can directly detect the presence of Borrelia bacteria.
    • This test, marketed by Red Labs in Europe for the past four years, has been used on thousands of patients and can differentiate between early, late-stage, and post-treatment Lyme disease.
    • Dr. Teulières is now working to expand the test’s reach in the U.S., seeking partnerships with American clinicians and researchers to validate the test and pursue FDA clearance.
    • The discussion underscores the need for innovative diagnostic tools to improve Lyme disease detection and accelerate healing journeys for patients.

    About Dr. Louis Teulières:

    • Medical degree from University of Nice, France.
    • Specializations in immunology, hematology, immunopathology, bacteriology, and epidemiology at the Pasteur Institute in Paris and CDC in Atlanta.
    • Former researcher at the Pasteur Institute, contributing to studies on immune and infectious diseases such as HIV.
    • Active member of the immunology team that received the Nobel Prize in 2008 for discovering the HIV virus in 1983.
    • Founder of CMIL clinics in Lisbon and Paris, specializing in immune and infectious diseases, Lyme disease, and neurodegenerative conditions.
    • Co-founder of PHELIX, a charity dedicated to phage-based research and diagnostics in Lyme disease.
    • Collaborates with University of Leicester, St Thomas Hospital in London, and other world-class healthcare professionals.
