Sponaugle Wellness Institute

At Sponaugle Wellness Institute, we believe truly “holistic” treatment should heal both the body and the brain. The brain is our most complex organ. The task of optimizing brain function requires extraordinary knowledge of brain physiology, modern neuroscience and expertise derived only from treating thousands of patients with brain disorders. Our Medical Director, Marvin “Rick” Sponaugle M.D., is an integrative medicine physician who specializes in treating brain and neurological disorders with emphasis on Lyme disease and neurotoxicity. Dr. Sponaugle has performed sophisticated brain research correlating over 10,000 Brain Chemistry analyses with toxin-induced changes seen on SPECT and PET brain imaging. Most of these patients suffered from undiagnosed Lyme disease, Mold Toxicity and Environmental Toxicity. Dr. Sponaugle’s treatment protocols have enabled 13 Lyme patients to come out of their wheel chairs; below are those patients who chose to share their story.

Dr. Sponaugle Cures his Daughter of Chronic Lyme Disease

Alexa Sponaugle, my teenage daughter, contracted Lyme disease when she was 13 years old. Alexa was a horse lover and spent most of her evenings working with horses. Ironically, a recent study in New Jersey tested 90 horses dispersed throughout the state and found 80 of the 90 had Lyme disease, something to think about. After two years of LLMD Lyme treatment, Alexa almost died from a mega-dose antibiotic therapy consisting of six different antibiotics every day. Read more about Alexa’s Story
