Default Lyme disease - Horse

Hi, My horse has been dx with Lyme disease 2yrs ago. I have treated him 3x's with doxycyclin, and I have also used ledum 1M. I have heard that copper water is a great treatment for the lyme. My 11yr gelding is now starting to show signs of "lyme-y ness" again. Being girthy, sensitive, and pinning his ears when being ridden bareback. The big sign is the girthyness. Anytime his lyme is reacting he will get girthy. He has never been lame from the lyme, it is mostly an attitude change. I really want to see this infection be gone for good. Is there anything I can do to really kill the bacteria? I do not want to go the antibiotic route anymore. He needs to be sound and happy for the show season.
