Dr. Rick Sponaugle, Director of Sponaugle Wellness Institute, is an integrative physician with extraordinary brain expertise having treated over 8,000 patients who were suffering with various psychological and neurological disorders. Dr. Sponaugle has integrated modern brain science with anti-aging and functional medicine to provide a holistic approach for his patients who travel from throughout North America and Europe.



"The premier Integrative Medical Center in North American focusing on the holistic treatment of Lyme Disease, Mold Toxicity, Biotoxin Illness, Chronic Fatigue, and other complex disease. At Sponaugle Wellness, we practice integrative medicine combining the best of western medicine and natural medicine. The foundation of our Lyme disease treatment is to enhance mitochondrial function, which increases the killing power of the immune system's natural killer cells & antibodies. This is accomplished by reversing toxin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.The longer a patient has unknowingly suffered from toxin-induced immune suppression, the higher probability he/she will have of significant biofilm formation, leading chronic degenerative disease."

I never have to worry about being taken cared of. This is my go to location for colon hydrotherapy. They offer great service with well informed professionals at a great price. They give you as much time you need to feel comfortable during your service. The location is clean and neat. I highly recommend this location
Although aspects of this center helped my health, Dr. Sponaugle is one of the most unprofessional doctors I have encountered. I am still dealing with medical trauma from this center. I ended up having a blood clot, and when I brought them my concerns they kept telling me it was in my head. I went to a a center to get a scan of my stomach, and asked the radiologist to do a scan of my neck because the doctors wouldn’t write me a script, and low and behold- I had a large jugular clot. When I was rushed to the hospital none of the spongaule care team provided any support or paperwork for the hospital needs. Dr. Sponaugle shows highly inappropriate behavior with his vulnerable patients, has an absolutely alarming temper, can never be challenged, and is not someone I would let my loved ones be subjected to.
I came to Sponaugle Wellness in July of 2019, after over 20 years of no diagnosis. I had a miriade of symptoms including muscle and joint pain, neurological issues, weakness, fatigue, balance problems skier/ice hockey brain fog, memory problems, confusion, visual changes, depression, rage, anxiety etc. I had been given all the typical M.D. diagnosis’s like fibromyalgia, restless leg, “rare autoimmune disease” etc. Dr Sponaugle was the Doctor who finally figured out the cause of my symptoms, and has an unbelievable gift in understanding the effects Lyme and Toxic Mold have on the body, and more importantly the brain. The patients I saw in the clinic daily had everything from “appearing normal” to being unable to walk. I saw patients make remarkable recoveries that would seem impossible. The illness is so complicated, affecting every area of my body and life...I was so sick and after 16 months of treatment, I have my life back. Lyme and Mold affect all patients differently, and I knew I was very sick and the road back would be long. I also know for a fact I would not be alive today if I had not gone to Sponaugle Wellness Institute. I have much gratitude for Dr. Sponaugle and his staff. His work is unbelievably difficult as he makes connections very few doctors are willing to delve into. Many thanks especially to my two nurses Candy and Elvis, who were amazing in my journey toward renewed health.
I had black mold poisoning. Yes, everyone will tell you it doesn't do damage, but I was unbelievably sick. I lost my short term memory, couldn't concentrate, couldn't think or even follow and carry on a conversation. I went to countless doctors for over a year, had so many tests performed, and was told I was getting dementia. Not one doctor wanted to hear about the two months I spent on demolition of a mold-filled building. That's when I knew that the regular medical community was not going to help me. I spent months, using the little brain abilities that I had left, researching online. That’s where I found Dr. Sponaugle. I'm thankful every day that I took the chance on going to his clinic. I spent a little over 3 months getting treatment. I regained my cognitive abilities, I was able to socialize, and I am enjoying life again. I would recommend him to anyone. He literally saved my life.
My husband was treated at Sponaugle Wellness Clinic in 2019. We were there for quite some time and I can truly tell you my husband would not be alive today if we had not gone there. SWI will forever be one of the most important places in our lives and we are forever grateful for the work of Dr.Sponaugle and his entire staff, especially our nurse and friend Candy. “Neurological Toxicity” related to Lyme, Mold and other co-infections is often unlivable. Most of the medical world does not believe it, let alone understand it. Hence, very few places are actually equipped to treat it. This clinic takes the patients who have been dismissed by the rest of the world, and treats and educates them, with an individual treatment plan that is assessed daily. It is not an easy or cheap process, but anyone who suffers from this can attest to how complex and difficult it is, so that shouldn’t come as a surprise. You are under the care of the clinic 24/7 while you’re there. This clinic is ahead of everyone else in this field because Dr.Sponaugle never stops researching and learning, and his experience in treating so many patients over the years has given him the confidence and knowledge to set up protocols that help the sickest of the sick. Not to mention the fact that God has gifted him with this ability to treat and understand patients by truly knowing what is happening inside their body and brain often just by looking at them and actually believing how they feel. He is nothing short of a genius and he does this because he cares. I can personally attest to this! We still return for cleanup sessions a few times a year, and this clinic has become like family to us. We never would have made it through the treatment without the care and heart of our nurse Candy who was by our side fighting for us every step of the way. We now have the tools and knowledge on how to combat and fight against this illness, and that is why my husband is able to work and continue being a father to our three young children. Thank you SWI staff for all you do. You convey the essence of care and fight a difficult battle everyday with the very sick patients you help. We pray for all of you always and for God to protect this clinic and continue to guide Dr.Sponaugle in all he does.
My son developed weakness in his left leg late in 2017. His primary care physician tested his reflexes and was very concerned when he had a positive Babinski reflex. His PCP immediately recommended my son see a neurologist. We contacted a neurologist associated with a very well-respected hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. After a number of negative tests which included Western Blot Lyme, nerve conduction testing, multiple MRIs and a spinal tap, the doctor sat with us and explained he was concerned of motor neuron disease. He did not know why my son was having the weakness and foot drop. He recommended IVIG therapy to see if antibodies from someone else could fix what his body couldn’t. As terrified parents, my wife and I were researching frantically to try to find answers. From the research we found and the stories shared by others, we were convinced our son had Lyme disease or mold toxicity. As we researched, we came across the Sponaugle Wellness Institute. The information and patient testimonials made us feel like this could be what was going on with our son. I called and spoke to Deborah with a list of questions. She was very knowledgeable and helped us understand the process. Before going to SWI for treatment, a patient undergoes a bunch of testing which will be used to understand what is going on in their body. The testing data goes directly to SWI and is reviewed before the patient arrives so treatment can begin right away. As a family, we discussed the options and the overwhelming decision-making point was that going to SWI would hopefully lead us to the root cause of our son’s problem. In hindsight, that was the best decision we could have made. We met with Dr. Sponaugle at the end of the first week for hours and were told my son had Lyme disease, mold toxicity and industrial toxicity. Dr. Sponaugle showed us the key data points from all of the testing done before arriving. From the day we arrived until the day we left 12 weeks later, we had an educational experience of a lifetime. Dr. Sponaugle is incredibly knowledgeable and confident…exactly what you want when you’re trusting someone to help your child! The staff at SWI could not be more accommodating and capable. My son’s nurse, Gary, was a gift…just a great person and incredibly good at what he does! The bond developed between patients and their caretakers is very special. Patients can talk to other patients and caretakers can talk to other caretakers. You never feel alone. The process is not easy and, at times, you wonder if you made the right decision. Emotions run high and some people just don’t feel well at times so it’s not uncommon to hear raised voices. Staying committed to the process is a critical component to your chances of a successful result. We will never forget what Dr. Sponaugle and his amazing team did for our son!
I am a patient of Dr. Sponaugle. I was at his clinic from the fall of 2019 through the summer of 2020. He treated me for toxic black mold illness. Exposure to toxic black mold happened in 2015. I was extremely ill. After seeing many doctors and going to numerous clinics for help with no improvement I found Dr. Sponaugle. His treatment protocols that he developed is what saved my life. I would like to encourage anyone seeking help for toxic illness call the Sponaugle Wellness Institute to inquire for information. To anyone seeking help it is certainly worth a phone call. I am forever grateful to Dr. Sponaugle for his research, studies and continued research for helping me and others with this debilitating illness. Also, a special note to his staff, you are very much appreciated and I thank you as well for your kindness and support.
Our family is extremely grateful to Dr. Sponaugle and all the wonderful staff at Sponaugle Wellness Institute. After years of sickness and searching for answers, Dr. Sponaugle helped us. He not only gets to the root cause of things and knows how to treat them, he also educates his patients. Thanks to the care and education provided by Sponaugle Wellness Institute, our family is healthier and happier!
When coming to Sponaugle Wellness Institute, I had exhausted all my options and considered this clinic as my last hope. I was wheelchair bound, unable to stand, had slurred speech and sometimes unable to speak, had intense seizures, and had stomach issues. Dr. Sponaugle and his staff treated me and believed in my healing even when things seemed lost and unhopeful. There were countless nights when Dr. Sponaugle and his nurses spent hours trying to stop my seizures and get me stable. He even stayed during Hurricane Irma to treat several patients, including myself, who were too ill to evacuate. Dr. Sponaugle never gave up on me, and for that, I am forever grateful. He and his staff will do whatever they can to bring their patients to health and healing.
Healing lives, creating futures is Sponaugle Wellness Institutes tagline, and I think Dr. Sponaugle does more then that, he saved my life! I was a patient at SWI just over 3 years ago and was treated for chronic Lyme disease and mold toxicity. When I arrived I was in a wheelchair and extremely ill. Within weeks I no longer needed that wheelchair and by the time I left I knew that I had my life back. It took awhile after leaving for my body to fully heal post treatment, which is expected, and now three years later I still feel amazing! Prior to receiving treatment at SWI I saw over 25 doctors, which non-could diagnose me or even begin to treat me. I had been suffering with Lyme disease for a majority of my life and within minutes of meeting Doc, I knew I was in the right place and he was able to explain to me exactly what had been causing me such pain for so many years. Doc and all his staff are amazing to their patients and their family. I loved that Doc taught us about Lyme and explained to us what was happening so that we always understood what was happening to our bodies throughout his treatment. I am so thankful for having found Sponaugle Wellness Institute as without it I don’t know where I would be. But I know that I would not be the lively, health, active, person I am today. Since treatment at SWI I have watched friends and family go through the same amazing healing process as I here. I will continue to recommend this treatment centre for anyone who I talk to.
