Chronic Lyme Disease

Advanced Lyme Disease Treatment



A Compassionate Approach to Chronic Lyme Disease

Many of the patients who come to CMN Hospital with chronic Lyme disease have been suffering for years—misdiagnosed, dismissed, or told their symptoms are in their head. By the time they arrive, they’re exhausted, discouraged, and often living with debilitating fatigue, neurological issues, joint pain, and cognitive fog. Dr. Edgar Payán understands this struggle intimately, and has built a protocol that addresses not just the infection, but the damage it leaves behind. For some patients, Lyme disease is not the only diagnosis—Dr. Payán is also able to treat individuals coping with both cancer and Lyme disease simultaneously, using personalized protocols that support the immune system, detoxify the body, and restore energy without overwhelming it.

At CMN Hospital, Lyme disease is treated with an integrative, immune-centered protocol that focuses on detoxification, immune repair, neurological recovery, and microbial elimination—gently, and without harsh long-term antibiotics. Dr. Payán does not use antibiotics in his Lyme protocol. He understands the challenges that come with treating Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete bacteria responsible for Lyme disease, and approaches it with strategies that support the body rather than suppress it. Many patients arrive unable to function normally and leave with strength, energy, and clarity they haven’t felt in years.

UV Light Therapy in Lyme Treatment

As part of his advanced protocol, Dr. Payán uses ultraviolet (UV) blood irradiation therapy to support immune modulation in patients with chronic Lyme disease. This therapy introduces a small amount of UV light to the blood, which has shown potential to affect the immune response to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme. Although studies in mice suggest UV exposure can alter immune behavior and bacterial dissemination, Dr. Payán’s approach is carefully administered and designed to support immune recognition and microbial regulation without exacerbating inflammation.

His clinical use of UV light therapy is distinct from surface-level UV radiation and is performed intravenously in a monitored, therapeutic setting. This treatment complements other non-toxic therapies and is part of his effort to address Lyme systemically—through circulation, immune support, and cellular detoxification.

The consequences of an unidentified Lyme infection can be severe, including prolonged hospital stays, chronic symptoms, and in certain cases, triggering autoimmune disorders and cancers. Based on our clinical experience of treating cancer patients for decades, we have published research on how the bacteria B. burgdorferi can lead to cancers in our medical study titled "Cancer and Infectious Causes". To avoid such severe consequences, it is crucial to receive an accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment that addresses not just the infection, but its long-term effects.

Blue scorpion venom is used in Dr. Payán’s Lyme protocol as a natural immune modulator. Its primary compound, chlorotoxin, has been studied for its ability to bind to abnormal or inflamed cells, supporting immune balance without suppressing function. In chronic Lyme cases, where inflammation and immune confusion are common, this compound offers a calming yet protective effect on the body.

For patients whose nervous system has been affected by Lyme disease, blue scorpion venom is used to gently support neurological repair and reduce oxidative stress. Inflammation in the brain and nerves often lessens with treatment, and patients describe improved cognition, reduced pain, and a renewed sense of peace in their bodies.
