Daryl Hall & Dr Horowitz Interview on Lyme Disease Even tho Daryl was sick only about a year before being diagnosed and starting treatment, he had a long road to recovery and continues to have flair ups. Like I've said many times, every case of Lyme is different. I pray to be well one day…
The Woman I’ve Become
My life has not taken the path society deems "normal". I did a lot of stupid things when I was young - more so than most. I became a mom at 21 without a partner. When my little girl came along I grew up and got serious about life. I worked...a lot...and hard. I entered…
Hold Your Peace
And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. "The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." Exodus 14-13-14 ________________________…

Update: June 28 2016
After stopping IV for a month, the pain became too difficult so we resumed 1 of the antibiotics. It has helped some, but I am still struggling with head, neck and back pain - among other miscellaneous issues. Symptoms currently are more indicative of bartonella and babesia so those become the primary treatment focus. John…

The interview also includes Lia Gaertner, advisory board of the Bay Area Lyme Foundation, whose story of Lyme disease is not as uncommon as most doctors believe. Click below for the full interview. Dr.…
What’s It Like?
It's impossible to explain what it's like living with Lyme. I've seen improvement from where I was 3 years ago, but I am still much worse than I was 10 years ago (when we think I was infected). So it's really hard for me to call it improvement, but in the interest of hope, I…
Fight
Well I am about 10 days into the parasite protocol and I'm still alive, so that's good then, eh? (For whatever reason, my mind is thinking with a British accent / not proper British English, just a play on American English with an occasion twist of words. I don't know why, but play along, won't…
Parasite Protocol
One of the many infections that frequently accompany Lyme Disease are parasites. It is what it is and so we must deal with it. Yesterday was day 1 of a 6 week and 2 day protocol to eradicate the nasty, awful, horrible things that are eating away at my digestive system. The protocol looks like…
Treatment Update: Parasites
The mold treatment has been very effective. My C4a levels dropped from 18,800 to just under 3,000 (not quite normal, but close enough for now). I had a couple of pretty good weeks, followed by a massive crash that we believe is due in some part to parasitic overload. I am continuing treatment for the mold, but…
