Jemsek® Specialty Clinic’s approach to treatment is multi-pronged and involves careful sequencing of anti-infective medications which target the bacteria, fungi, and protozoan pathogens responsible for Lyme Borreliosis Complex. Medications are used in various combinations and are typically administered on a pulsing (intermittent) basis which takes advantage of the targeted pathogends’ life cycles. This approach has the additional benefit of allowing the body to recover between treatment cycles.

A key initial step to the success of our program is to identify and stabilize debilitating symptoms and eliminate other barriers in the way of effective care. In order to do this, we utilize a system created by Dr. Jemsek, termed POEMS.
You will be carefully monitored and evaluated throughout the stabilization process, and your Jemsek® Specialty Clinic provider will track your progress and adjust your program accordingly to best meet your treatment goals.
Recommendations for stabilization (POEMS) are essencials and accimplished through lifestyle and diet changes, understanding the importance of support individuals, recognition of distabilizing key metabolic abnormalities addresing pain stresors and sleep disfunction.
