In 2013, unknowingly, Alan Grazioso was bitten by a tick near the woods of Maryland. “This deer tick the size of a sesame seed changed my life,” he says. “I had no idea I would discover a whole new profession.” Grazioso Integrative Health specializes in addressing symptoms of Lyme disease, it’s co-infections and other auto-immune health issues. Clients travel to Grazioso’s practice in Lexington from across New England.

Services provided: Biomagnetic therapy, which was developed nearly three decades ago in Mexico by medical surgeon Dr. Isaac Goiz Durán who began treating HIV patients in his clinic with pairs of specially placed magnets. The modality utilizes pairs of medium-strength magnets of opposing charge that are hand placed on top of clients’ clothing to equalize the pH in specifically targeted parts of the body.

Areas of specialty: Treatment of Lyme disease.

Healing/healthy living philosophy: Grazioso says, “Ironically I feel very grateful to this little tick because I found my calling as a biomagnetic practitioner and am able to make a difference and do my part in helping alleviate my fellow humans, including youth and elders, who are suffering of this growing pandemic.”
