Interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as painful bladder syndrome, is a chronic condition that causes individuals to experience constant bladder pain, urinary frequency, and urgency. The symptoms of IC can be severely debilitating and often mirror those of a urinary tract infection, except that the discomfort does not subside with antibiotics.

Interestingly, research has shown that there may be a connection between interstitial cystitis and Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi.

How Are Interstitial Cystitis And Lyme Disease Connected? Several studies and clinical observations have suggested a possible link between interstitial cystitis and Lyme disease. Dr. Rick Sponaugle, an integrative physician who treats Lyme Disease, Mold Toxicity, and Environmental Disease at his clinic Sponaugle Wellness Institute in Oldsmar, FL, has seen....

Before finding Sponaugle Wellness Institute, Carol was treated for six years by the best and brightest LLMDs in New Jersey and New York.

Over those six years, she was prescribed multiple antibiotics. Most significant is the fact that she was prescribed four grams of IV Rocephin daily for a total of three years.

Unfortunately, the Rocephin was ineffective in killing the massive Bartonella infection seen within biofilm formation on her blood smear.

Leaving Carol with severe gut dysbiosis and facing countless complications from the antibiotics, she turned to Dr. Sponaugle to heal the damage and address the root cause of why the antibiotics did not work to address her infections.

Read's Carol story and why biofilm needs to be addressed before IV antibiotics are administered.

Case Study: Excessive IV Antibiotics With Biofilm Buildup The Last Three Years Of Excessive Antibiotic Treatment Rendered Carol Essentially Bedridden. Carol’s story is a good case study for the concept that antibiotics are ineffective, if not worthless, in Lyme patients who have developed significant biofilm.

GAD enzymes play a critical role in maintaining the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, ensuring optimal functioning and mental health.

Mold toxicity, caused by exposure to toxic molds such as trichothecene, can lead to GAD enzyme deficiency and subsequent neurological disorders, including insomnia, anxiety, depression, and chronic fatigue.

In response to trichothecene exposure, the GAD enzyme is shut down, resulting in glutamate being converted to GABA, causing a neuroexcitatory state.

Dr. Sponaugle would like to share a study from the University of California Davis that is both alarming and thought-provoking relative to the exposure of Bartonella to American Troops serving in Iraq.

The study reveals that 47% of the domestic dogs tested in Iraq had an active Bartonella infection. The infection rate is potentially much higher because the antibody testing they used has far more false negatives than testing with actual blood smears.

Dr. Sponaugle is happy to inform you that we are now offering Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy (SOT) as one of our many treatment modalities for viral infections and Lyme and its many coinfections.

This modality is essential for patients with viral etiologies, especially those in the Herpes/Epstein Barr family, as they all cause cancer, tend to infect the brain, and suppress natural killer cell production, making it more difficult to kill other viruses and bacteria like Lyme, Bartonella, etc.

At Sponaugle Wellness, we have seen fantastic progress with their use in our patients to address viral and bacterial infections, particularly Epstein-Barr virus, herpes hsv1/hsv2, tickborne infections, HPV, and other infections.
