When I first started seeing my Lyme doc, he told me that to heal, I needed an island lifestyle. He didn’t mean I needed to literally move to a tropical island and live in a hut (although I do think that would be extremely therapeutic). What he meant is that I need to reduce stress…
I haven’t found a marshmallow recipe that is both vegan and sugar free. So I’ve been trying to make my own and have stumbled several times. I think I’ve got it now! Follow the order and pay attention to the notes! They’re critical. 1. Aqua Faba 1/2 c aqua faba (liquid from cooked garbanzo beans)…
I’ve recently self-diagnosed ADHD. But it feels like such a stupid name and it’s kind of embarrassing to say “I have adhd”. SONG: Penn Holderson “You Might Have ADHD” As I’m learning, ADHD is one of the disorders that has been so misunderstood - and mismanaged - in our country. When someone uses those letters,…
I listened to a podcast today with a couple of my favorite doctors who talked about how their patients can become so focused on being sick that they start to identify with their illness. It makes sense - we fight for years to find someone, anyone, who will take us seriously. I have been disabled…
The last couple of years, my focus has been on non-tick-borne issues - rather than directly treating the diseases. Cellular Healing - focused on repairing cell walls, allowing for nutrients to get in, toxins to get out. This included an entire dietary overhaul and learning how to eat to create more stable cells. Cervical Instability…
I’ve been interested in grounding (or earthing as some call it) for several years but really hadn’t looked into it until recently. Several years ago, I told one of my doctors that I feel like my feet are claustrophobic - I hate wearing shoes. He took one of his shoes off and showed me his…
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…
There are a lot of great treatment protocols and therapies that I truly believe can and will help: rife, sauna, ionic foot bath, vibration platform, as well as antibiotics and natural remedies. As much as I believe all of these things can make a difference, there are 3 things to understand about therapies and treatment…
Neurodivergent
I learned as a young adult that I wasn’t built for mundane work. I was never gonna make it as a line worker or really in any career where the job entailed doing the same thing every day. I stumbled into construction and it worked for me. Projects lasted roughly a year and then I…
Medical Care Starts At Home
My grandmother didn’t believe in going to the doctor unless it was some severe issue like a heart attack or appendicitis. I grew up going to the doctor for everything - cold, flu, upset tummy, rash. It wasn’t until about 4 years into Lyme treatment that I really got exposed to natural/home health care. And…
