Watching the West Wing where the President has relapsing-remitting MS and has been having a flare up. Relapsing-remitting means symptoms get worse and then better. Doctors explain that fatigue can be extremely debilitating - sitting up can take too much energy so the more he can lay down, the better he can function when he…

Fat bombs are one of the main staples in my home. Why? Healthy fat (melted coconut oil) - our cells use sugars (incl fruit and carbs) OR fats for energy. Sugars burn toxic - fats burn clean. Fat bombs help curb my sweet tooth while giving my body energy. I don’t generally measure, but this…

As much as I believe all of these things can make a difference, there are 3 things to understand about therapies and treatment…

There’s More to Lyme

Recently I’ve heard a few comments that reminded me how little people understand about Lyme+. Social media and digital communication lets people make comments they would never make in person.
