I participate in several online support groups for people with Lyme+. I always hope to learn about treatments that are helping people, but more importantly, I hope I can help someone who may be feeling a little lost. There are 2 issues I see with people in this group: 1. FEAR - people who have…
In preparation for my visit to Lyme Stop in Idaho (July 29-30), my doc has me starting the protocol below. I CAN DO THIS! Or as the little engine that could said: I think I can, I think I can. I can guarantee that all of this, and the Lymestop therapy, is gonna crash me.…
One of the most frustrating aspects of this stupid sickness is the inability to think clearly - especially on days when I need it most. It’s allergy season and I’ve been highly responsive this year - not just the normal sinus pressure, runny nose & itchy eyes - my whole body gets inflamed, my throat…

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…
