Lyme Voice Radio, Discussing Your Lyme Disease Journey With Aaron & Sarah Sanchez

Ep.103 Dr. Armin Alaedini is a professor at Columbia University, where he leads a research laboratory focused on studying the role of the immune system, host-microbe interaction, and diet in complex disorders. His team’s research on Lyme disease in the past 15 years has focused on the chronic and post-treatment manifestations of the infection, leading to seminal findings that provide molecular evidence of a biological basis for the patient’s symptoms. He is currently a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of Global Lyme Alliance and a Working Group Member of the NIH Advisory Council on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Key Takeaways:   How does inflammation become permanent?  Could there be abnormalities in the immune response system because of Lyme disease? Could there be a biological basis for persistent inflammation? There is a biological basis for the symptoms Lyme patients are facing. This is not trivial, because there wasn’t scientific evidence to say it wasn’t psychosomatic.  The infection causes inflamm
