Dr. Hinchey's 10B Approach to Healing Lyme

Dr. Hinchey's 10B Approach to Healing Lyme

Author: Dr. Robert Silverman September 11, 2026 Duration: 43:41

What if treating Lyme disease successfully requires looking beyond the infection itself? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Myriah Hinchey, Naturopathic Physician, known as the "Lyme Queen," to explore her 10B approach to chronic Lyme disease and the importance of understanding why some patients remain sick despite treatment.

Together, we discuss why effective care goes beyond simply "killing the bug" and instead considers the relationship between the infection, the immune system, and the body's terrain. Dr. Hinchey walks through the strategic sequence of her 10B approach, from understanding the patient's background and stabilizing the body to supporting immune balance, detoxification, and biofilm management.

The conversation also explores the importance of personalized treatment, why rushing into antimicrobial strategies can sometimes create complications such as Herxheimer reactions, and how rebuilding immune competence can be a critical part of helping patients move toward recovery.

Whether you're a healthcare practitioner, someone navigating chronic Lyme disease, or interested in a more comprehensive approach to complex infections, this conversation offers valuable insights into treating the patient as a whole, not just the pathogen.

 
 
 
Key takeaways:
  • Understanding Lyme Complexity: Lyme disease treatment should prioritize understanding the bacteria's interactions with the human host and the immune system's role.

  • The 10B Approach: Dr. Hinchey's strategic and holistic 10B approach targets various aspects such as inflammation control, immune balancing, gut health, and biofilm breakdown.

  • Immune Competence: The goal is to cultivate a smarter, not necessarily stronger, immune system, focusing on nutrient sufficiency and systemic health.

  • Biofilm and Detoxification: Addressing biofilm breakdown and supporting liver and lymphatic detoxification are crucial components to handle bacterial exposure effectively.

  • Avoiding Herxheimer Reactions: Preparing the body before aggressive treatments can prevent adverse reactions, optimizing patient recovery and wellbeing.
