SUMMARY:Dr. Horowitz Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Share this content:Healing Chronic Illness / Tick-Borne Diseases \n& Preventing Future Cognitive Decline \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWatch replay at LymeDisease.org Facebook page – fast forward for a bit to get to actual presentation with Dr. H \nDr. Horowitz Healing Chronic Illness – Replay of Presentation on LDO Facebook Page \n\nDESCRIPTION: \nTick‑borne diseases (TBD) are showing up everywhere these days — so much so that experts now estimate about one in seven people worldwide have been affected. At the same time\, dementia rates keep climbing. A 2025 study even suggested that adults over 55 now face roughly a 42% lifetime risk. Those numbers can feel overwhelming\, but they also raise an important question: what’s driving all of this? \nResearchers now understand that dementia usually isn’t caused by just one thing. It’s often the result of many different factors working together over time. Interestingly\, the same 16 MSIDS (Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome) factors linked to chronic Lyme disease and long COVID have also been connected to Alzheimer’s and other forms of cognitive decline. \nThis talk will break down what that means in everyday language. We’ll look at how chronic Lyme disease can involve a mix of overlapping issues\, how infections like Lyme may play a role in long‑term brain health\, and what current research is showing about dapsone combination therapy. Early studies suggest it may help with symptoms like fatigue\, pain\, and cognitive challenges\, and may also help calm inflammation in the brain — something researchers believe could contribute to future memory problems. \n\nNEW BOOK RELEASE: Ending Chronic Illness \nPre-order now and use code RICHARD15 for 15% off plus a signed bookplate. Offer valid through the day before the official October 2026 release. \n 📘 Pre-Order the Book \n\nDR.

HOROWITZ & SPONSORING GROUPS:  CLICK IMAGE \n \n\nDR. HOROWITZ BIOGRAPHY: \nDr. Richard Horowitz is a board-certified internist and the medical director of the Hudson Valley Healing Arts Center\, an integrative medical center which combines both mainstream and integrative approaches in the treatment of Lyme disease and other tick-borne disorders. He has treated over 13\,000 Lyme and tick-borne disease patients in the last 41 years\, with patients coming from all over the US\, Canada\, and Europe to his clinic. He is former Assistant Director of Medicine of Vassar Brothers Hospital in Poughkeepsie\, N.Y.\, and is one of the founding members and past president elect of ILADS\, the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society. He is also past president of the ILADEF\, the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Educational Foundation\, a non-profit organization dedicated to the education of health care professionals on tick-borne diseases. Dr Horowitz has trained hundreds of healthcare providers in diagnosing and caring for patients with treatment-resistant tick-borne disorders and was previously awarded the Humanitarian of the Year award by the Turn the Corner Foundation as well as awards from Project Lyme for his treatment of Lyme Disease. He has dedicated his life to helping those stricken with this devastating illness. \nHe is the author of two best-selling books on Lyme disease\, Why Can’t I Get Better? Solving the Mystery of Lyme and Chronic Disease (2013\, St Martin’s Press\, NY Times Best Seller)\, and How Can I Get Better? An Action Plan for Treating Resistant Lyme and Chronic Disease (2017\, St Martin’s Press\, National bestseller). These books incorporate recent scientific advances and explain in detail how healthcare providers can effectively diagnose and treat resistant chronic illness. He has been a member of the Advisory Panel\, Lyme disease Educational Initiative\, at Harvard Medical School from 2021-2023 and in addition\, he has co-authored peer-reviewed Lyme guidelines. Dr Horowitz was a member of the HHS Tick-borne Disease Working Group and Co-chair of the “Other Tick-borne Diseases and Coinfections” subcommittee from 2017-2019 which provided recommendations to Congress to help the US improve the care of those suffering with tick-borne disorders. He also served as a member of the HHS Babesia and Tick-borne Pathogen Subcommittee and has recently served as a member of the NYS Department of Health Tick-borne disease Working Group from 2021-2024. \nFinally\, Dr Horowitz recently published several scientific articles on short-term oral antibiotic and integrative protocols that have been highly effective in the treatment of chronic Lyme disease/PTLDS and associated co-infections (dapsone combination therapy and the MSIDS model)\, as well as classical and integrative solutions for COVID-19. These have been effective in helping those with acute and chronic illness (see www.cangetbetter.com). He is the process of applying for an NIH grant to head up a multicenter\, placebo-controlled\, randomized clinical trial on the safety and efficacy of dapsone combination therapy for the treatment of chronic Lyme disease to prove to the world that we do have answers in the middle of this spreading global epidemic. In that regard\, he is also in the process of working on a digital app with researchers from the University of California Irvine to further improve the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme and associated illness to help those afflicted with this debilitating illness. \nDr H released his first novel\, Starseed R/evolution\, ‘The Awakening’ a cli-fi (science fiction/climate change) novel in March of 2022\, providing some unique solutions and hope for our present climate crisis (see https://starseed-revolution.com/ ) and he will be releasing his third science book on comprehensive answers for chronic disease late in 2026 through Simon and Schuster. His new science book called ‘Ending Chronic Illness: A Revolutionary New Program to Reverse Inflammation and Heal Persistent Disease’ will provide groundbreaking approaches to a broad range of chronic diseases. After a one year intensive dive into the scientific literature\, Dr H discovered that the 16 point MSIDS model that he pioneered for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic Lyme disease also applies to most chronic diseases affecting humanity which are causing suffering and disability. Ending Chronic Illness will provide innovative scientific solutions for both the prevention and treatment of diseases including but not limited to ADD/ADHD\, Autism\, Alzheimer’s disease\, allergies and asthma\, the 3 B’s (Borrelia\, Babesia\, Bartonella)\, cardiovascular disease\, cancer\, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/M.E.\, digestive disorders\, environmental toxicity\, Fibromyalgia\, hormonal\, mood and pain disorders as well as acute and chronic viral infections. Since over 1 billion people worldwide and roughly half of the US now suffer with at least one chronic disease\, ‘Ending Chronic Illness’ is the book that the world has been waiting for.
