Free Consultation for Lyme Disease and Alternative Medicine

Dr. John Harrington is offering a free consultation regarding an alternative medicine approach for readers suffering from Lyme Disease until March 15. The consultation will discuss a Lyme protocol consisting of nutritional therapy to improve immune function, along with detoxification and diet.

Utilizing a non-invasive and accurate testing procedure, Harrington analyzes the body’s physical and nutritional needs to get patients on the road to health. “Heavy metals, environmental chemicals and biotoxins from Lyme disease could be suppressing your immune system and preventing a full recovery,” says Harrington. “We acknowledge that almost everybody can be helped with nutrition. Clients with Lyme disease are no different. Instead of treating the disease, our approach is to test the body and figure out why it can’t fully heal naturally. We offer an all-natural, drug-free program using nutrition, botanicals, homeopathy and alternative medicine to remove the true barriers to health and healing.”

Location: 137 Mountain Ave., Hackettstown. For more information or to make an appointment, call 908-441-2276 or visit SunriseNutritionCenter.com.

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
