However, the trend is now expanding to include alternative treatments for chronic and life-altering diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and Lyme disease. Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is prevalent in certain regions, particularly North America. Freeman underwent a range of alternative treatments for Lyme disease at the Sanoviv Medical Institute in Rosarito, including hyperthermia and intravenous antibiotics. Some clinics in Mexico offer additional treatments for Lyme disease, but experts like Dr. Saxinger question their effectiveness and cost. While medical tourism for alternative treatments in Mexico may offer hope and options for some patients with Lyme disease, it’s important to consider the scientific support and evidence behind these treatments.
