SOT AND LYME, BABESIA AND BARTONELLA
A few basics that may be of use.

SOT is a highly targeted, autologous (patient-specific) treatment, but it is classified as experimental and can be quite costly. Clinicians often combine SOT with other traditional or complementary therapies: [1, 2]

• Antibiotics & Antivirals: In chronic Lyme or viral cases, SOT is sometimes used alongside oral antimicrobials to reduce pathogen loads and ease the burden on your immune system. [1, 2, 3]

• Pre-Medications: During your IV infusion, your provider will typically administer intravenous antihistamines (like famotidine) and steroids (like dexamethasone) to prevent allergic reactions and bolster your vein walls. [1, 2]

• IV Nutrient Therapy: Supportive treatments such as bio-oxidative therapies (e.g., ozone or hydrogen peroxide IVs) are frequently paired with SOT to enhance cellular recovery and minimize inflammation. [1, 2]

• Oncological Support: For cancer treatments, SOT (Synergistic Oncology Therapy) has been used alongside low-dose insulin potentiated chemotherapy (IPT) or homeopathic support to target tumor cells while sparing healthy tissue. [1]

 

• Blood Draw: A specialized lab creates your custom SOT using a sample of your own circulating blood. [1, 2]

• IV Infusion: The engineered oligonucleotide is given as a single IV push, taking 1 to 2 hours with pre- and post-IV fluids. [1, 2]

• Continuous Activity: Once in your bloodstream, the molecules actively seek out the target pathogen and block its messenger RNA (mRNA) from reproducing for up to several months. [1, 2]

• Follow-Up: Depending on the organism (viruses usually require multiple infusions), treatments are typically spaced about 1 to 3 months apart. [1, 2]
