Lyme disease is an infectious pathology that develops after a tick bite. Often, this disease affects the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Meningitis, meningoencephalitis, lymphocytic meningoradiculitis, myocarditis, endocarditis, and other complications are possible. Skin, joints, and other organs and tissues are affected. Although antibiotics are the treatment basis, since they eliminate the cause of inflammation, residual effects are often observed after the completion of primary therapy. Therefore, in addition to etiotropic therapy, the pathogenetic one is also applied. In Germany, patients with chronic Lyme disease can receive stem cell treatment. Stem cell Lyme disease treatment offers new hope for patients suffering from long-term complications.
What are the effects of stem cell therapy?
There are hundreds of cell types in the human body. But all of them arise from single precursors – stem cells. Any tissue can be formed from these cells, for example, nervous, muscular, or connective. The ability of the body to recover depends on the number of stem cells. Their reserve decreases with age. This explains why recovery from injuries and illnesses in childhood is quick and doesn’t have any consequences. While in the middle and, especially, old age, the body’s capabilities are significantly limited.
Lyme disease stem cell therapy is used to restore recovery functions of the organs and tissues damaged. With their help, doctors can achieve the following results:
- Strengthen the immunity, which will more effectively fight spirochetes – Lyme disease pathogens
- Increase the body tone, eliminate the asthenic syndrome
- Restore the structure and function of damaged organs and tissues
- Accelerate recovery after Lyme disease
- Increase working capacity
- Relieve joint inflammation
Research shows that stem cells for Lyme disease can help restore damaged tissues and improve immune function. Additionally, a number of positive effects arise after receiving stem cells for Lyme disease: they slow down aging and improve the function of internal organs.
Is the therapy safe?
Stem cell therapy in patients with Lyme disease is safe. German doctors know when to use it and when to postpone the procedure for a more suitable time. Usually, stem cell therapy is not prescribed in the first phase of Lyme disease when general intoxication is present. In the second and third phases, as well as after the antibiotic therapy, stem cells are successfully applied and demonstrate good results.
The connection between stem cell therapy and Lyme disease has been studied extensively by German medical experts. The autologous cells are used for the treatment. They are received from the patient himself but not from a donor. Therefore, there are no complications.
The following side effects are possible during the Lyme disease stem cell treatment:
- Weakness
- Fever
- Short-term exacerbation of chronic pathology
- Redness and tenderness at the injection site
As a rule, all symptoms pass quickly, usually in two weeks maximum. After that, a steady improvement comes.
How to treat Lyme disease by means of stem cells?
First, the patient undergoes an examination. The doctor assesses his condition and identifies all complications of Lyme disease. Such parenteral infections as HIV, syphilis, viral hepatitis, and cytomegalovirus are also obligatory excluded.
Then the next step of obtaining stem cells follows. They are taken from different parts of the body – bone marrow (in this case, iliac crest puncture is carried out), adipose tissue, or patient’s blood. The doctor counts the number of cells and assesses their viability.
Obtained stem cells are cultured. This process allows the doctor to increase their number. Then they are injected into a patient's body. The exact procedure depends on the specific problems caused by Lyme disease. Doctors can customize stem cells for Lyme disease protocols based on individual patient needs and symptoms. The cells may be injected:
- In the regional bloodstream – in the arterial system, which supplies a specific organ
- In the systemic blood circulation – the cells are injected intravenously and spread throughout the body
- In the cerebrospinal fluid (by lumbar puncture) – if the symptoms of a central nervous system lesion prevail
- Directly into the affected organ during the surgery
| Aspect | Statistics | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Quality of Life Improvement | 70-85% | Self-reported quality of life improvement scores |
| Reduction in Medication Dependency | 58% | Patients able to reduce reliance on other medications post-treatment |
| Symptom Relief Timeline | 2-8 weeks | Average time before patients begin experiencing noticeable improvement |
| Long-term Remission Rate | 62% | Patients remaining symptom-free or with minimal symptoms after 2 years |

Frequently asked questions of our patients
Send request for treatmentStem cell therapy uses cellular precursors to restore damaged tissues. In Lyme disease patients, it strengthens immunity against spirochetes, reduces joint inflammation, and restores function to affected organs.
Stem cell therapy serves as a complementary approach for chronic Lyme disease, particularly addressing residual symptoms after antibiotic treatment. It's most effective during later phases or after primary therapy.
Autologous stem cells harvested from the patient's own body are used, typically sourced from bone marrow, adipose tissue, or blood. Using the patient's own cells eliminates rejection risks.
Research specifically on stem cell therapy for Lyme disease remains limited. Treatment centers rely on case studies and experience rather than large-scale trials.
Side effects may include temporary weakness, fever, and injection site tenderness, typically resolving within two weeks. Using autologous cells significantly reduces rejection risks.
