50. Part 2: Bartonella, mold and more with Dr. Neil Nathan

<p>Dr. Neil Nathan is a physician and author, and has practiced medicine for over 50 years in the areas of family medicine and pain management. In part 2 of our podcast with Dr. Nathan, he talks about Bartonella, helpful strategies for treating tick-borne illnesses, resources for a deeper dive into the diagnosis and treatment mold, Lyme disease and multiple chemical sensitivities. We’ll also get a sneak peak into his new book that addresses causes and solutions for the growing problem of increased sensitivity. </p><p>Dr. Nathan explains that, although <em>Bartonella</em> is often overlooked, it is the nastiest and hardest tick-borne infection to treat. Because it is the “third in line” of the three most common infections, it often doesn’t receive as much attention as Lyme and <em>Babesia</em>. Dr. Nathan points out that <em>Bartonella</em> is as common as <em>Borellia</em> in ticks from his region, northern California. Some of the common symptoms of <em>Bartonella</em> are pain on the bottom of the feet, vibrational perceptions or tremors, and intense anxiety, depression or a feeling of hopelessness. Beyond the symptoms themselves, Dr. Nathan notes that the increased intensity of a patient’s experience is often an indicator of a <em>Bartonella</em> infection.</p><ul> <li>Read the full show notes for this episode, part 2</li> <li><a href="https://www.lookingatlyme.ca/2022/11/49-mold-lyme-and-bartonella-with-dr-neil-nathan/">Listen to part 1: 49.
