MS isn’t always what you’ve been told…

Multiple Sclerosis is labeled as an autoimmune disease…
What if it’s a RESPONSE to an underlying infection the body is trying to fight?
Because here’s the truth most people are never told


Tickborne infections don’t just mimic MS… they can be driving it.
And this isn’t just opinion.

At the HHS Roundtable “Lyme Disease: The Hidden Infection (Dec 15, 2025)
Dr. Steven Phillips--when speaking on tickborne infections and MS stated:

“If it mimics a condition 100% … then by definition it’s causing these conditions.”

TESTING LIMITATIONS

The standard two-tier Lyme testing misses 50–77% of cases

Some estimates suggest up to 85% are missed

This testing only looks for one strain of Borrelia

Bartonella & Babesia are NOT included in standard testing, nor any of the other coinfections

Alpha-gal syndrome is rarely evaluated unless specifically suspected

Many infections are intracellular or evade the immune system

Testing depends on an antibody response…

which many chronic patients don’t properly produce.

WHY THIS IS HAPPENING
Most doctors are given only a few hours of education on tickborne infections.
They are taught to follow Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines

Diagnose within a narrow framework

Treat short-term and move on

Focus mainly on Lyme alone

Assume it is rare and geographically limited

IDSA guidelines are very outdated and rely on extremely flawed testing.

Some medical providers had patients that they couldn't ignore the patterns, started connecting the dots, and they sought out extended education for tickborne infection through ILADS:

International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society recognizes:

Diagnosis must be clinical --not ruled out by flawed testing. However- these physicians have access to blood testing that tests for all species and co-infections and are much more reliable than the Western Blot

Millions are infected.... with that number rising… many are left with long-term Chronic Lyme Disease

Co-infections matter and change the entire picture

Treatment must be individualized

Tick-borne infections attack every bodily system

These infections are in all 50 states and
outside the US. They are being passed in a variety of ways, including from mother to child and blood transfusion. Many ticks are infected (in IL, up to 40% of the deer ticks are positive for Lyme disease), and most ticks carry more than just one infection. Co-infections have been proven to be passed by many biting insects including... fleas, lice, Mites, Chiggers and Misquitos
The system is still built on outdated assumptions
that Lyme is simple, rare, and easy to detect…
But some people are connecting the dots ● ● ●
