I just finished day 2 at the Biologix Center. A large focus of my healing right now is center mass - gut, kidneys, liver, heart, lungs. I’ll try to better explain the process and treatment protocols later this week - it’s a little overwhelming, even my 2nd time through. But I feel improvement and I…
Fly-Over States
We just crossed the border from Oklahoma to Kansas on our last leg of a 4 day journey to Wichita. This has been a rough trip, but I’ve been better than I expected and we have totally enjoyed the ever changing landscape and weather. If you have never taken the highway 40 / Route 66…
Take the Path Forward
Living with any chronic illness can sometimes seem hopeless. You lay in bed in pain, sickness, depression - hour after hour, day after day. It’s only a matter of time before you start to think “this is it - this is life - forever”. You stop seeing a path forward. Especially when so many…
Insomnia
In the last 2 months, I’ve not had 5 full nights sleep. Most nights I lay awake until 2 or 3 AM and sleep only a few hours at a time. You change when you stop sleeping. You don’t think clearly. Your body doesn’t have the rest it needs to be able to regenerate so…
The Many Faces of Hope
I think the most difficult times in life often trigger the greatest measures of joy. In fact, it’s hard to imagine joy without challenges. How do you know something is truly good unless you first know something is bad? How do you truly appreciate a blessing unless you first feel the weight of a trial? …
Death Becomes Her
Fore-Warning: This is an honest and slightly morbid discussion about death. If this topic is uncomfortable for you, stop reading now. I get real here and I know it can be hard to discuss. So we never talk about it. It’s scary to talk about it. It’s sad to talk about it. But we need…
This is a tick
This little black dot is a tick. It’s tiny and it seems harmless. But it is one of the most infectious creatures on the planet - especially at this size and even smaller. This specific tick was found on my black dog - along with several others - after we stopped along the side of…
In our weakness, He is strong
I am laying here in bed, having completed 2 IV treatments this morning, feeling sick to my stomach and weak as can be. Recent events have caused a burden of stress that is wreaking havoc on my system. I’ve been in bed for 3 weeks. Exhausted from the pain that cripples me day and night. …
Good days I’m ok. Bad days I’m ok.
Living with pain every day wears you down. Over time, it can break your spirit and make life unbearable. I spoke with a woman the other day who shared with me that she sometimes considers suicide. She suffers so much and is not getting a lot of help from her doctors. She is trying to…
New Amsterdam
The most recent episode of New Amsterdam had a patient in the ER with headaches. The doctor spent hours with this woman and finally diagnosed her with Lyme disease. The head of the ER was upset the doctor spent so much time with one patient - she told him there are over 300,000 cases a…
