Dr. Luka Kovac and Dr. Nelly Furtado’s Integrative Prescription for Lyme Disease

Note: This is a fictional collaboration between Dr. Luka Kovac (of ER) and singer-healer Dr. Nelly Furtado. This “prescription” blends holistic and nutritional strategies, not a replacement for antibiotics or clinical treatment when necessary.

🧂Salt Therapy

Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan Pink Salt
→ Rich in trace minerals, helps cellular hydration and pH balance.
→ Suggested use: 1/4 tsp in warm lemon water upon waking.
Salt & Vitamin C Protocol (used in some Lyme circles):
→ 1 gram salt + 1 gram vitamin C, 3x/day (build up slowly).
→ Controversial: May help detox, but must be done with supervision.

💧Types of Water

Structured Water
→ Mimics spring water, better cellular absorption.
Spring Water (low mineral content)
→ Avoid tap water due to fluoride and chlorine.
Electrolyte water
→ Replenishes lost minerals during detox and herxing.

🥬Foods to Focus On

Wild blueberries (anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective)
Garlic & onions (natural antibiotics, sulfur-rich detox agents)
Broccoli sprouts (sulforaphane activates detox pathways)
Pumpkin seeds (zinc, anti-parasitic)
Cilantro & parsley (heavy metal detox)
Fermented foods: sauerkraut, kimchi (gut microbiome restoration)
Grass-fed beef liver or desiccated liver caps (B12, iron, A, K2)
Organic eggs, salmon roe, avocados, beets

🌿Herbs & Botanicals

Cat’s Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) – anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial
Japanese Knotweed – resveratrol-rich, reduces inflammation
Andrographis – supports immune response, often used in Buhner protocol
Teasel Root – supports neurological repair
Sarsaparilla – binds endotoxins, reduces die-off symptoms
Astragalus – immune booster (early-stage Lyme only)

🫖Teas

Dandelion root tea – supports liver, gallbladder detox
Burdock root tea – blood purifier, helps skin and lymph
Nettle leaf tea – mineral-rich, anti-inflammatory
Chaga mushroom tea – antioxidant, supports immunity
Lemon balm tea – calms the nervous system

🍊Juices

Celery juice (organic, fresh) – gut-healing, mineralizing
Cucumber & mint juice – cooling, hydrates inflamed tissues
Carrot–ginger–turmeric juice – anti-inflammatory, immune support
Beet–lemon–apple juice – liver support and gentle detox
Wheatgrass shots – chlorophyll, alkalizing

💊Vitamins & Minerals

Vitamin C (liposomal preferred) – antioxidant, collagen support
Vitamin D3 + K2 – immune modulation
Magnesium (glycinate or malate) – for nerve pain, fatigue
Zinc picolinate – supports immune system
Selenium – essential for thyroid and glutathione production
B-Complex (methylated) – supports energy, nerve repair
Omega-3s (EPA/DHA) – reduces inflammation

🌱Roots & Adaptogens

Ashwagandha – balances adrenal fatigue
Rhodiola rosea – stamina, brain fog reduction
Licorice root – supports cortisol balance
Ginger root – anti-inflammatory, digestive aid
Turmeric root (with black pepper) – curcumin for inflammation

💬 Final Words from Dr. Luka and Dr. Nelly:

Dr. Luka: “Lyme hides deep. It’s like a Balkan war in the body—guerrilla warfare. We fight it with terrain management: detox, restore, and rebuild.”
