Your Patient. Your Protocol. Our Integrative Clinical Infrastructure.
A clinical collaboration model for physicians treating Lyme disease, co-infections, chronic inflammation, fatigue, immune dysfunction, chronic pain, viral reactivations, and complex chronic illness patients in Mexico and internationally.
The Challenge
Many physicians who diagnose and treat Lyme disease, co-infections, and complex chronic conditions face the same practical limitations. They have the knowledge, the patients, and the clinical vision — but not the infrastructure to deliver intensive multi-week treatment programs.
They may not have a multi-day supervised treatment facility, a complete IV therapy department, daily patient supervision capacity, therapeutic nutrition control, detoxification infrastructure, regenerative medicine capabilities, ozone therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, laser therapies, or a structured environment for complex patients.
As a result, treatment becomes fragmented. Patients struggle with compliance at home. Sensitive patients may not tolerate aggressive protocols without preparation and monitoring. The physician may know exactly what the patient needs, but may not have the infrastructure to deliver it intensively and safely.
Santa Maria Health was designed to solve this problem.
Our Solution
Santa Maria Health functions as an external clinical campus for the treating physician.
We provide the complete infrastructure — medical supervision, clinical coordination, IV therapies, therapeutic nutrition, detoxification, physical therapies, regenerative medicine, herbal medicine support, and comprehensive multi-week patient management — while the patient remains under the care of their physician.
The primary doctor-patient relationship stays intact. The treatment protocol may remain physician-directed. Our team coordinates, supervises, and implements the program during the patient’s stay. At completion, the patient returns to their physician for ongoing follow-up care.
Santa Maria Health does not compete with physicians. Santa Maria Health empowers physicians.
The Clinical Collaboration Pathway
The model operates through a clear five-step cycle:
1 → Treating Physician → 2 → LIT LAB Dx → 3 → Treating Physician → 4 → Santa Maria Health → 5 → Treating Physician
Step 1 — The Physician Identifies the Patient
The physician evaluates the patient, reviews symptoms, medical history, prior testing, and clinical presentation. This may include confirmed or suspected Lyme disease, co-infections (Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma), viral reactivations (EBV, CMV), chronic fatigue, systemic inflammation, immune dysfunction, neurological symptoms, post-viral syndromes, chronic pain, autoimmune patterns, or other complex multisystem conditions.
The treating physician remains the primary clinical decision-maker.
Step 2 — Diagnostic Confirmation Through LIT LAB Dx
When advanced diagnostic confirmation is needed, the patient may be referred to LIT LAB Dx — a licensed diagnostic laboratory in Tijuana, Baja California, specializing in tick-borne disease testing.
LIT LAB Dx offers the TICKPLEX and TICKPLEX PLUS multiplex serological panels, developed by Tezted Oy (Finland). These panels test for Borrelia, Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Rickettsia, and additional tick-borne pathogens, with results typically available within 48–72 hours. Local testing may significantly reduce turnaround time compared with sending samples to international laboratories.
Santa Maria Health coordinates sample logistics between the clinic and LIT LAB Dx.
Step 3 — The Physician Defines the Treatment Protocol
After receiving diagnostic results from LIT LAB Dx, the treating physician reviews the findings and defines the treatment direction. The physician determines:
- clinical priorities and treatment goals;
- the preferred treatment protocol;
- therapies to include or avoid;
- contraindications;
- desired intensity of care;
- the role of antibiotics, herbal protocols, immune support, detoxification, regenerative therapies, or other approaches;
- the goals for the Santa Maria Health program.
The protocol may remain the physician’s protocol. This step ensures the treating physician retains full clinical leadership before the patient enters Santa Maria Health.
Step 4 — Intensive Treatment at Santa Maria Health
The patient enters Santa Maria Health for an intensive supervised treatment program. Santa Maria Health functions as the physician’s external treatment campus.
Upon arrival, the patient undergoes a baseline clinical evaluation and laboratory screening to complement the referring physician’s findings and the LIT LAB Dx results. This additional assessment helps the clinical team calibrate the treatment program precisely to the patient’s current condition.
During the program, the patient receives medical supervision, clinical coordination, IV therapies, therapeutic nutrition, detoxification support, supplement and herbal management, physical and regenerative therapies, daily monitoring, treatment sequencing, tolerance-based adjustments, and a final clinical summary.
The coordinating physician maintains regular communication with the treating physician through daily written progress updates via secure messaging or email, direct phone or video access for urgent questions, and a structured weekly summary. A discharge summary is provided within 48 hours of program completion.
Step 5 — The Patient Returns to Their Physician
At completion, the patient returns to the referring physician for ongoing follow-up care. Santa Maria Health provides a clinical summary including therapies performed, patient response, tolerance observations, and recommendations for continued care.
Recommended Program Structure
For best results, Santa Maria Health generally recommends a 2–3 week intensive program. Complex chronic illness patients often require time for detoxification preparation, nutrition stabilization, gradual therapy sequencing, management of inflammatory or Herxheimer-type reactions, daily monitoring, and coordination with the referring physician. A one-week program may serve as an entry point for selected patients, but complex cases benefit significantly from extended stays.
Week 1 — Stabilization and Detoxification Foundation
The first week focuses on preparing the patient’s body for deeper treatment. This may include medical assessment and baseline monitoring, anti-inflammatory therapeutic nutrition, IV support, hydration, detoxification therapies, supplement and herbal support, mitochondrial and immune support, symptom observation, tolerance assessment, and reduction of inflammatory burden.
This phase is especially important for patients who are sensitive, depleted, or reactive — patients who cannot tolerate aggressive treatment without preparation and support.
Week 2 — Intensive Integrative Treatment
The second week allows for a deeper and more structured therapeutic program. Depending on the patient’s condition and the referring physician’s protocol, this phase may include continued IV therapies, ozone therapy, high-dose vitamin C, NAD+, methylene blue protocols, laser therapies, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, immune support, herbal protocols, pain and neurological support, mitochondrial therapies, physical therapies, and detoxification continuation.
Treatment intensity is adjusted daily based on patient tolerance, inflammatory response, Herxheimer-type reactions, sleep, pain, fatigue, digestion, neurological symptoms, and overall resilience.
End of Week 2 — Optional Regenerative Add-On
In Lyme disease and complex chronic illness, reducing infection and inflammation is often not enough. Many patients also require support for tissue repair, immune regulation, neurological recovery, mitochondrial function, joint recovery, and nervous system regulation.
For selected patients, stem cell therapy may be considered toward the end of the second week, once the patient has undergone initial stabilization, detoxification, and reduction of active inflammatory load. This timing optimizes conditions for regenerative therapy — the body has been prepared through the preceding treatment phases.
Additional regenerative options may include exosomes, PRP, peptides, NAD+, and mitochondrial IV support. These therapies are not presented as a cure for Lyme disease or any specific condition. They are positioned as regenerative support tools — helping the body recover from prolonged inflammatory burden, restore damaged tissue, modulate immune function, and support neurological and musculoskeletal recovery.
The decision to include regenerative therapies is always made collaboratively between the referring physician, the Santa Maria Health clinical team, and the patient.
Week 3 (recommended for complex cases) — Recovery and Integration
The third week focuses on consolidation of treatment gains, continued regenerative support, preparation for transition back to outpatient care, and clinical summary preparation for the referring physician.
Which Patients Is This Program Designed For?
This program is designed for patients with Lyme disease and suspected chronic Lyme, co-infections, viral reactivations, chronic fatigue, chronic pain and systemic inflammation, cognitive dysfunction, dysautonomia, post-viral syndromes, autoimmune conditions with infectious or inflammatory components, and patients requiring structured support before, during, or after antibiotic therapy.
Clinical Infrastructure
Physicians gain access to over 150 integrative, regenerative, and supportive therapies under one roof, including IV therapies, ozone therapy, high-dose Vitamin C, NAD+, methylene blue protocols, laser therapies, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, sauna, colon hydrotherapy, PEMF, shockwave therapy, lymphatic support, manual therapies, herbal medicine protocols, nutritional protocols, and regenerative medicine (stem cells, exosomes, PRP, peptides).
This allows for dynamic and highly individualized treatment programs. We support multiple medical approaches — antibiotic-based, herbal, immunological, regenerative, or integrative. Our role is to support the physician’s treatment direction in a safe, structured, and supervised environment.
Our Ethical Framework
The doctor-patient relationship is sacred. Our program is built around clear principles:
- The patient remains under the care of the referring physician.
- The referring physician remains the primary clinical leader.
- Santa Maria Health does not seek to replace the treating physician or take over long-term care.
- We do not interfere with existing physician-patient relationships.
- Major treatment direction is coordinated with the referring physician.
- The patient returns to their physician for follow-up.
- Santa Maria Health functions as an external treatment campus, not a replacement clinic.
Collaboration Programs and Pricing
7-Day Intensive Integrative Lyme Support Program
Partner Rate: USD $4,950
This one-week program serves as an entry-level intensive support option for selected patients. It includes assistance with nearby accommodation arrangements (hotels, vacation rentals), therapeutic nutrition, medical supervision, coordinating physician, nursing support, IV therapies, detoxification support, supplement and herbal management, daily treatment adjustments, communication with the treating physician, final clinical summary, and access to multiple integrative therapies as clinically indicated.
For complex chronic illness patients, a 2–3 week program is generally recommended for stronger clinical logic, better sequencing, and improved continuity of care.
The collaborating physician may integrate this program into their own professional care structure. The physician’s independent professional fee for case management, diagnostic interpretation, and follow-up care is at the physician’s discretion. Partner economics can be discussed privately.
Extended Program Options
Depending on the patient’s condition and the physician’s plan, extended programs may include 2-week intensive programs, 3-week advanced chronic illness programs, stem cell add-on toward the end of the second week, exosomes, PRP, NAD+, advanced IV protocols, additional laboratory testing, specialized detoxification programs, and regenerative medicine packages.
