- Chronic Infections Can “Set the Brain on Fire”
Dr. Patterson explains that Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia can breach the blood-brain barrier, activate microglia, and thin gray matter, leading to anxiety, depression, brain fog, and cognitive impairment. - Neurotransmitter Shifts Drive Psychiatric Symptoms
Inflammation lowers serotonin and GABA while increasing glutamate, creating a chemical environment that promotes anxiety, panic, poor focus, and mood dysregulation. - Targeted, Multi-Benefit Strategies Calm the Brain
Healing requires herbs and nutrients (curcumin, rhodiola, passionflower, magnolia, L-theanine), dietary strategies (MIND diet, low-stress eating), sleep optimization, digital detox, and lab-guided approaches to address the root cause rather than just symptoms.
