When the infection is treated, but you're still not well.

T-Regulatory cells are the immune system's volume control — specialized cells that prevent excessive inflammation and coordinate immune responses. In chronic Lyme disease, the master switch governing Treg function (FOXP3) becomes unstable, leaving the immune system without an effective brake. Our autologous Treg therapy collects your own cells, engineers them with a stabilized FOXP3, stress-tests them in conditions replicating your chronic inflammatory environment, then reinfuses only the resilient cells to restore immune regulation at the source.

Borrelia burgdorferi and many Lyme co-infections are sensitive to elevated temperature. Heckel whole-body hyperthermia uses water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA), which penetrates below the skin so the bloodstream carries the heat through the whole body, raising core temperature evenly into a controlled, fever-range state. A fever-like state can stress heat-sensitive pathogens, engage the immune system and improve circulation. Every session is temperature-monitored throughout, with intensity and duration adjusted to you. It is offered within the 18-Day Program.

Therapeutic Apheresis is a blood filtration process that removes inflammatory cytokines, immune complexes, circulating toxins, and heavy metals directly from the bloodstream. In chronic Lyme, this toxic environment prevents recovery even after the infection has been addressed. Apheresis clears this environment, making the body more receptive to immune regulation therapies like Treg treatment and reducing symptoms tied to inflammation.

Our programs are designed for patients with chronic Lyme disease and co-infections (such as Babesia and Bartonella) who experience persistent inflammation, symptom flares, or feel their body is not responding to treatment. Many patients have tried antibiotics and other protocols without full resolution. To find out if you qualify, complete our short 5-question intake questionnaire and our case manager will personally review your history.

We are located in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico — minutes from the US border — at Diego Rivera 2339 Int PH1, Zona Urbana Rio 22010. Most US patients fly into San Diego International Airport and cross via Otay Mesa or San Ysidro border crossings. Both programs include roundtrip San Diego airport transfers. We also recommend Quartz Hotel & Spa, a 5-star medical tourism hotel in Tijuana, for patient stays.

Heckel whole-body hyperthermia, Therapeutic Apheresis, and autologous T-Regulatory Cell therapy require advanced equipment and specialized medical teams. In the US, these therapies face regulatory and logistical barriers that limit availability, or they are offered only as isolated procedures. The Lyme Re-code integrates these therapies into a coordinated, physician-supervised protocol — addressing chronic Lyme from multiple angles simultaneously — which is difficult to access anywhere else.
