Dr. Michael Karlfeldt - Lyme Disease Testing Explained - Why Labs Miss Chronic Lyme
About this episode
Dr. Michael Karlfeldt explains the complexities of Lyme disease testing and why conventional methods often fail chronic Lyme patients.
Why do so many Lyme patients test negative while feeling anything but healthy? This is a special re-release of a powerful episode originally recorded in 2025. We felt it was too important not to bring back, especially as more people continue to struggle with confusing lab results and unanswered symptoms. The insights shared here are just as relevant today, if not more, and deserve to be heard again. In this episode of Integrative Lyme Solutions, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt breaks down the confusing world of Lyme disease testing and reveals why conventional lab results often fail chronic illness patients. Drawing insights from leading experts like Dr. Bruce Patterson and Dr. Joseph Burrascano, this episode uncovers the limitations of ELISA, Western Blot, and PCR testing and why they were never designed for complex, chronic cases. You will learn how Lyme evades detection, why immune dysfunction leads to false negatives, and how advanced testing methods like cytokine panels, T-cell testing, and FISH are reshaping diagnosis. If you have ever been told your labs are normal while your body says otherwise, this episode will change how you understand your health and your next steps forward…
