I was sick for 8 years before being diagnosed with Lyme and other tick borne infections. During that time, I suffered a multitude of symptoms of constantly changing severity. Despite my belief that it was a rare and easily curable disease, I had several close friends who had Lyme - and who were adamant that…
It's 1:30 am and I am laying here awake, longing for sleep. In the past 3 months, I've gotten maybe a handful of nights where I actually slept straight through more than a few hours. I've tried various meds, tinctures and remedies, BioMat to promote sleep, delta waves and sounds of the ocean - they…
Someday, I’m gonna wake up without pain, without nausea, without fatigue. My head won’t hurt, my feet won’t burn, my skin won’t crawl. These are the thoughts I have to have to keep hope. Someday. It often feels like someday may never come. Sometimes it’s hard to remember what feeling well feels like - making…
We all start out thinking this is temporary. We believe some doctor or potion will eventually get us back to the state of normalcy to which we have become accustomed. So when does that change? At what point during sickness do we shift to the mindset that it may not happen. And what causes that…
Saying grace before meals is a common practice among most Christians. There are a lot of reasons we do this - glorifying God by acknowledging his gift of provision is usually the big one. But did you know God has a more individual, physical reason for saying grace? That’s right - you heard me -…
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…
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? …
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 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…
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. …
