I have always loved adventure. Pre-Lyme I loved to hike, kayak and explore new places. I still seek adventure - but it looks different these days - hiking & kayaking are just out. During our travels to various medical appointments over the years, we’ve found ways to still explore. Sometimes it’s from the front seat…
I had planned for our trip to Idaho to be relaxing, refreshing & stress free. I planned to do daily therapies (rife, ionic foot baths, stretching, etc). I am usually able to separate from the stressors of daily life when we are on a road trip like this and decided this would be a good…
Update: 1 day post Lymestop
I had 4 treatments Monday & Tuesday. By Wednesday, I was having major detox symptoms: headache, neck pain & stiffness, back pain, all over joint & muscle pain, weakness, nausea & abdominal discomfort. That tells me the treatments are effective. That’s what it’s supposed to do. It’s causing my body’s immune system to kill pathogens…

I was given…

But my lower legs have exploded with Purpura. Petechiae are small, round spots caused by bleeding from broken capillaries (tiny blood vessels under the skin). Purpura…
Why is it important to see a Lyme specialist?
In the podcast below, Dr. Harris (my doc) talks about the incredibly difficult job of addressing chronic Lyme. Apple podcast Spotify Below are my thoughts (italicized) and some of the key points from the podcast. Note: Mainstream doctors are taught to rely heavily on labwork and to follow a standard, short, ineffective treatment protocol. If…
I’ve heard so many times people say Lyme isn’t fatal. Someone even once told me that it was good my diagnosis wasn’t for something serious like cancer. The link below is about a woman who recently died from a babesia infection (co-infection). Despite the comment by the news reporter, co-infections are in fact quite common.…
