"The Great Masquerader"
Lyme and concurrent co-infections are often misdiagnosed as something else, from fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis to mental illness.   It can and often does affect every organ system in the body.  For this reason, one of the fathers of internal medicine made this statement:
"He who knows syphilis knows medicine" ~Sir William Osler

This indicates that a good Lyme doctor has achieved clinical mastery of general practice in order tounderstand its varied presentations.

SOT is an innovative "Lock & Key" IV (intravenous) treatment for bacteria, viruses, and cancer.

SOT uses nucleic acids formulated in a lab to block the production of disease-causing proteins. This helps prevent the replication of viruses, bacteria, and cancer so they can no longer thrive in the body.

We offer SOT IV therapy for adults and children over 5 years old for conditions such as:

• Lyme disease & Co-infections
• Epstein-Barr virus
• Herpes simplex virus (HSV)
• Hepatitis
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
