Some chronic Lyme patients may experience plateaus despite ongoing treatment.
One hypothesis explored is KPU (Kryptopyrroluria), a condition where the body may lose important minerals faster than normal. It has been reported at high rates in chronic Lyme patients.
KPU is associated with depletion of key nutrients
• Zinc
• Vitamin B6
• Manganese
• Biotin
These nutrients are essential for immune regulation, detox pathways, and neurological function.
Could mineral depletion play a role in treatment resistance?
We explore the proposed link between KPU and chronic Lyme in our article.
