The right intervention, at the right time, in the right order. More is not better — a prepared immune system responds differently than an unprepared one. Delivered within the Immunotherapy Institute, Tijuana, Mexico — minutes from San Diego.
You don't lay new flooring before fixing the foundation. You don't apply deep interventions to a system that hasn't been prepared to receive them.
Every program in the Lyme Re-code sequence exists because the one before it creates the conditions the next one needs. Most patients start with the 8-day or 10-day program. The 18-day comes after — when the body is ready to go deeper.
The most targeted starting point. Teaching your immune system to govern itself — before anything else.
In chronic Lyme disease, the problem is rarely a weak immune system. It's a misguided one. Over time, the immune system loses its ability to regulate itself — it over-fires, creates chronic inflammation, and keeps attacking even when the original trigger is no longer the primary issue.
Three applications of autologous Treg therapy — using your own T-regulatory cells — restore the immune system's ability to modulate its own response. Not by suppressing immunity. By teaching it to work correctly again.
Why this comes first
Before clearing, before targeting pathogens, before any deeper intervention — the immune system needs to be governable. A dysregulated immune system doesn't respond to other therapies the way it should. Restoring Treg function first means every subsequent therapy lands on a system that can actually use it.
Who this is for: Patients with chronic Lyme disease, Bartonella, Babesia, or other tick-borne coinfections — particularly those whose immune system feels like it's "overreacting" or not responding correctly. Also appropriate for patients with long COVID, mold illness/CIRS, or chronic EBV who share the same pattern of immune regulatory depletion. Standalone yet foundational — this program improves response to all future therapies.
Three therapies. Three layers. One logical sequence.
Most chronic Lyme treatments address one layer of the problem at a time. The 10-day program addresses three — in the right order. The sequence matters as much as the therapies themselves.
Clear the bloodstream. Years of accumulated inflammatory debris — cytokines, immune complexes, mycotoxins, pathogen-derived material — actively work against any treatment you introduce. Apheresis removes them directly from the blood. The result is a cleaner, more responsive internal environment.
Why first: Treg cells work best when delivered into a body already cleared of inflammatory burden.
Rebuild the cells. Chronic Lyme depletes the body at the cellular level — antioxidants, mitochondrial cofactors, immune nutrients. Targeted IV protocols deliver therapeutic agents directly into the bloodstream at levels oral supplements cannot achieve. Timed deliberately around apheresis and Treg infusions.
Restore immune governance. With the inflammatory environment cleared and cellular substrate rebuilt, four autologous Treg infusions restore regulatory T-cell function. The goal is not less immune activity — but better-directed immune activity.
You cannot regulate an immune system that is still flooded with the signals driving its dysfunction.
This is why the sequence matters. Apheresis clears first. IV therapy rebuilds. Treg therapy then restores immune governance into a body that's been prepared to receive it. Together, they create the conditions for genuine recovery — not symptom suppression.
Who this is for: Patients with chronic Lyme, coinfections, long COVID, mold illness, or chronic EBV — particularly those with a higher inflammatory burden who need the environment cleared before recalibration can take full effect. Also for patients returning after the 8-day program who are ready to add the clearing and rebuilding layers.
The complete program — for patients ready to go deeper on a prepared foundation.
The 18-day program builds on everything established in earlier programs — and adds the most powerful pathogen-targeting modality available: Systemic Perfusion Hyperthermia. Applied to a dysregulated, uncleared immune system, hyperthermia amplifies dysfunction. Applied to a regulated, prepared one, it goes somewhere different entirely.
Systemic Perfusion Hyperthermia — up to 42°C (107.6°F)
In a controlled clinical setting under continuous medical monitoring, core body temperature is elevated up to 42°C. At that temperature, Borrelia burgdorferi and co-infections cannot survive or replicate. This is not a sauna — it is a precisely managed clinical procedure that creates a whole-body environment hostile to persistent infection, while activating immune responses that support the recalibration already underway.
Why hyperthermia comes here, not first: a chronically inflamed immune system amplifies hyperthermia's effects unpredictably. On a recalibrated foundation, the same therapy achieves targeted, durable results. The terrain matters. The sequence is the treatment.
3 autologous Treg infusions — restoring immune governance on a system that has already begun recalibrating from prior programs.
Blood filtration to remove inflammatory debris and immune complexes — creating the clean internal environment that allows all three modalities to work with maximum effect.

Who this is for: Patients who have completed the 10-day program and are ready for deeper work in a recalibrated immune environment. In selected cases, evaluated individually by the medical team, patients with complex presentations may begin directly with the 18-day program — this determination is made during intake review.
Systemic Perfusion Hyperthermia and Apheresis — is this the right treatment?
That's exactly what the initial consultation is for. Our case managers review your full history and recommend the right program — and the right starting point — based on your inflammatory burden, your symptoms, and your goals.
