We'd also like to make a much-anticipated announcement that we feel could make a great impact on your health and wellness journey. Jordan Bock, alongside Dr. Bock, has created a new company called NuHydration- the first mobile IV company in the Mid-Hudson Valley. The goal of NuHydration is to administer IVs in the comfort of your home, home office, hotel, wellness center, and more. Our commitment to you is to make your wellness journey as seamless as possible and to provide you with beneficial nutrients, all without having to go anywhere!

Our new IV formula consists of IVs for Lyme disease, immune and energy-boosting, detoxing, anti-aging, relaxation, and hydration! Our medical team has used their over 35+ years of medical experience to help culminate these formulas and now we are excited to finally share!

In addition, if you are interested in coming into the office we have recently renovated our IV room within Bock Integrative to create a relaxing and wellness-oriented space.

We have appreciated the positive and warm response from Brain Inflamed. We look forward to continuing to help you and your family along your journey.

Here is a small but powerful excerpt from the Brain Inflamed chapter called, "Bitten by the Bug: Lyme, Bartonella, and Other Tick-Borne Disease." Page 99

Lyme disease is our next Great Masquerader. Though not a sexu-
ally transmitted disease, it is possibly even easier to contract. And like syphilis it’s caused by a spirochete, a long, skinny, spiral-shaped bacteria that can change its form to evade detection and destruction. Also like syphilis, symptoms of Lyme can wax, wane, and overlap. In the early stages it can present no noticeable symptoms, or it can appear purely neuropsychiatric, especially in later stages. When symptoms do reveal themselves, they’re so varied that the disease is frequently mistaken for other illnesses, such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or autoimmune
disorders, and can go misdiagnosed for years. And now, with rates of Lyme disease rising across the United States, absent of easy or obvious explanations for a patient’s symptoms, especially neuropsychiatric, many physicians have come to recognize that they simply have to stay open to the possibility of a Lyme disease diagnosis.

Please share and repost to family and friends.

All the best,

Bock Integrative Medicine

Dr. Bock's newest podcast with Looking at Lyme is out! The podcast title is called, A Whole Body Approach to Lyme.

"Many patients with Lyme disease and co-infections such as Bartonella experience the effects of inflammation in the brain and central nervous system. One of the chapters of Dr. Bock’s latest book, Brain Inflamed, is dedicated to the effect of Lyme disease and co-infections in the brain. He explains that infections, stress, toxicants, and brain trauma can all cause inflammation of the brain. Some of the symptoms familiar to Lyme patients are decreased memory and word-finding difficulties."

"Some readers may conclude that their tween’s or teen’s behavior and moods are linked to purely psychosocial causes—unrequited love, academic stress, parents’ divorce, online bullying, or any other number of the typical problems today’s young people face as they navigate the challenges of growing up. But a parent knows. If your child isn’t acting like herself, if her life is changing for the worse, if she is missing school, or if something just doesn’t seem right and you’re scared, I hope this book provides help."
