Welcome to LymeBytes!, the essential podcast for understanding and managing Lyme disease. Hosted by Dr. Myriah Hinchey, a leading Lyme disease expert, this podcast offers insightful discussions, practical advice, and inspirational stories for those affected by Lyme disease.
In this episode of LymeBytes!, Dr. Myriah Hinchey sits down with Dr. Richard Horowitz to explore why many chronic Lyme patients remain sick — and what’s finally changing in treatment.
Dr. Horowitz shares decades of clinical insight, including the development of the Horowitz Lyme-MSIDS Questionnaire (HMQ) and the groundbreaking MSIDS (Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome) model, which explains why chronic illness is rarely caused by infection alone.
The conversation dives into biofilms and persister cells — dormant bacterial forms that evade standard antibiotics — and how Dapsone combination therapy is transforming outcomes for patients who previously failed treatment.
They also discuss the critical role of Babesia, Bartonella, mold toxicity, immune dysfunction, mitochondrial damage, and long COVID in blocking recovery. Dr. Horowitz explains why chronic illness is fundamentally driven by inflammation and why treating infection alone is not enough.
This episode offers a powerful, hopeful look at how a comprehensive, multi-system approach is helping patients achieve lasting remission — without lifelong antibiotics.
