Lyme is a genuine epidemic, and it needs far more than a short course of antibiotics.
Lyme disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted primarily through tick bites, is one of the most misdiagnosed and misunderstood conditions in modern medicine. It is a genuine epidemic, yet receives a fraction of the research funding and clinical attention its prevalence warrants. Symptoms vary dramatically between individuals and can mimic dozens of other conditions, making diagnosis challenging even for experienced practitioners.
Dr. Jaban has personal experience with Lyme disease, spending years without answers before finally receiving a diagnosis and finding his path to recovery. He has since dedicated his practice to helping thousands of clients navigate Lyme, from initial identification through co-infection management, detox support, and full recovery. This is not a condition he approaches from a textbook.
Lyme disease stands as a genuine health epidemic in America, yet it regrettably lacks the widespread media attention and research funding it merits. Diagnosing Lyme poses a significant challenge for doctors due to its extensive symptoms, often resembling various other conditions. Individuals with Lyme may encounter symptoms that differ substantially from those of others grappling with chronic Lyme.
In chiropractic school, Dr. Jaban's own health journey commenced with a sudden physical decline at the age of 25, leaving him baffled with no apparent cause. Over the following year, he sought answers from various doctors, grappling with fatigue, joint pain, and low testosterone. It was at a functional medicine conference that he connected with a doctor who suggested the possibility of Lyme disease. Following testing and further investigation, Dr. Jaban tested positive for Lyme, marking the beginning of his journey to understand and address it. After consulting with several doctors and exploring various approaches, Dr. Jaban experienced relief and has remained symptom-free for over 10 years.

Lyme disease has a knack for hiding, making testing less than foolproof. Standard testing misses a significant portion of Lyme cases, and the extensive symptom profile, resembling dozens of other conditions, means patients are frequently misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune disease, or psychiatric conditions before anyone considers Lyme.
The complexity is further compounded by co-infections: approximately 40% of people with a Borrelia infection also carry Babesia, and other co-infections including Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Mycoplasma, and RMSF frequently accompany a Lyme diagnosis. Treating Lyme alone without identifying co-infections is a common reason people continue to feel unwell despite treatment.
When testing is wanted or needed, Dr. Jaban recommends opting for the Tickborne 2.0 Panel by Vibrant Wellness, the inaugural test conducted on a silicon micro-array platform, offering unparalleled specificity and sensitivity in the industry for identifying tickborne diseases. This panel covers Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Bartonella infections, Ehrlichiosis, Rickettsiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and Lyme disease.
A blood sample is required for the test. Fasting is not required. At The Redefining Wellness Center, Dr. Jaban highly recommends working with a practitioner when dealing with Lyme disease or Lyme co-infections. The complexity of co-infection management, detox preparation, and protocol sequencing requires experienced clinical guidance.
