New hope for chronic Lyme disease: Targeted blood purification for lasting relief
Chronic Lyme disease is an enormous burden for many sufferers. Despite a variety of therapeutic approaches, the symptoms often persist. VitaSangius offers a promising alternative with its innovative hemoperfusion: targeted blood purification effectively removes inflammatory substances, toxins and harmful molecules. This can relieve the immune system, support the body’s own regulation and lead to a noticeable alleviation of symptoms.
Find out more about this new approach and how it can help you to improve your quality of life in the long term.
Lyme disease - an increasing challenge in Germany and Europe
Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is the most common infectious disease transmitted by ticks in Germany and Europe. The pathogen, Borrelia burgdorferi, is transmitted by the bite of infected ticks and can affect the body in many ways. There is a particularly high risk of infection in densely wooded and natural regions of Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
The spread of ticks has increased in recent years due to climate change. Milder winters and longer warm periods favor the growth of tick populations and allow them to spread to more northern areas. This increases the risk of tick bites even in regions that were previously less affected. In addition, new tick species, such as the Hyalomma tick, have spread northwards, expanding the spectrum of possible diseases caused by tick bites.
Symptoms and course of Lyme disease
Early symptoms (stage I)
One of the first signs is the so-called erythema migrans – a ring-shaped reddening of the skin around the injection site. Flu-like symptoms also frequently occur, such as
Fatigue
Mild fever
Muscle and joint pain
Headache
Swelling of the lymph nodes
Some of those infected do not develop typical early symptoms, which makes diagnosis more difficult.
Advanced symptoms (stage II-III)
Over time, the bacteria can spread to other organs and cause serious long-term damage. These include
Early neuroborreliosis: Burning pain, paralysis and sensory disturbances that can increase at night.
Chronic symptoms: These include Lyme arthritis (chronic joint inflammation), skin changes (acrodermatitis chronica athrophicans) and neuroborreliosis with symptoms such as paralysis, speech and vision disorders and neurological deficits.
The disease can become chronic and lead to considerable restrictions in quality of life. Early diagnosis and targeted therapy are therefore crucial.
Our therapeutic approach:
Haemoperfusion for the treatment of Lyme disease
Targeted blood purification for lasting relief
VitaSangius hemoperfusion offers a promising option for the treatment chronic Lyme disease and other chronic infections. Inflammatory substances, toxins and harmful molecules are specifically removed from the blood. The procedure supports the body in regulating the immune system and can contribute to significant symptom relief.
How does hemoperfusion work?
Extracellular cleansing
During hemoperfusion, the blood is passed through special filters via a closed system. These filters specifically remove harmful substances, toxins and inflammation-promoting substances from the bloodstream. This relieves the immune system and supports the body in its natural regeneration.
Our processes
VitaSangius therapy combines the methods of blood hyperthermia, hyperoxygenation and adsorption to specifically weaken Borrelia and reduce inflammatory processes. In blood hyperthermia, the temperature of the blood is specifically increased to destabilize the pathogens, while hyperoxygenation optimizes the oxygen content and strengthens the immune system.

In detail: Diagnostic options for Lyme disease
Precise diagnostics are crucial in order to reliably detect Lyme disease and initiate the appropriate treatment. At VitaSangius, we offer various diagnostic methods that are used depending on your needs and individual symptom profile. With the help of this checklist(download), which we then go through together with you, we can order the necessary examinations in a targeted manner.
1. antibody tests (ELISA, immunoblot)
These tests check for specific antibodies against Borrelia. A positive result indicates an infection, but must always be assessed in the context of the symptoms and medical history.
