Hello there, It’s a new year and I have finally carved out some time to write about my state of well being. I have had a few major transitions in my life in the last 6 months but I am finally getting settled in. As for my Lyme progress, one hurtle still remains. My Atrial [...]

Is it possible for someone with chronic Lyme disease to utter the words “cured”? Every waking moment since I discovered I have Lyme disease I strived to be “cured”. Is it possible for someone to admit they have been “cured” without antibiotics or any pharmaceutical drugs? I believe that I am one of those people. Is [...]

Greetings, Detoxification is one very necessary step in your path to healing. Necessary and essential. There are a few methods I use for detoxification; homeopathic remedies, exercise, diet, and Far Infrared Sauna (FIR). When you are killing Lyme bacteria, whether it is with the Rife (electro-frequency machine) or antibiotics, you need to ensure your body is [...]

I read in a book once that stated it is better to call a “healing crisis” a “healing reaction”. I immediately agreed. It is so much more positive and less dramatic. You would think that 18 months after diagnosis and treatment that I would be fortunate enough to be through all the necessary healing reactions. Unfortunately, I’m not [...]

Sorry for the delay in posting. I had a little bump in the road the last little while. This why it took me so long to write another post. I emphasize “little” as I try to appreciate how far I have come in my healing. Oh, how blessed I am. I thought on this post [...]

Most people, when they are recovering from an illness want to determine where they are in their healing. When healing from Lyme, this is a very difficult process. As the bacteria load decreases you have more and more good days. Your hope could serge and then out of nowhere you are thrown back into reality. Inner peace has never been [...]

Developing a Lyme protocol is just another obstacle in the path of healing from Lyme. Lyme patients are already comfortable with challenge when you look at the stages that lead to this point, if you are so fortunate to get to this point. First you are sick and don’t know why, then you suspect Lyme [...]

The next challenge in my Lyme story was to obtain a medical diagnosis. I wanted to do this for a few personal reasons but mainly to assure my doctors, my friends and my family that this sickness was not all in my head. The medical diagnosis took 6 months! I first went to my Canadian family doctor [...]

When it was first suggested that I had Lyme Disease I think I went into a state of shock. For some reason it really scarred me, even though at the time I really didn’t know anything about Lyme disease. I realize now, at Anthony’s office that day in October 2010, I had no idea what I was [...]

Lyme Disease came into my life in the Spring of 2007. My first symptom related to my heart. As an avid runner, volleyball player and weight lifter who would think there was something wrong with my heart?? I was playing in a competitive volleyball tournament when, just before the final game started, I had a severe [...]

Taking time to heal may seem unreasonable for some. In this time and place in our history people want immediate material gains as well as immediate health. The banks and credit card companies can provide immediate material possessions for some, but when it comes to health, your body needs time to heal. If you have Lyme disease you are no exception. [...]

This blog is the beginning of a relationship. A relationship that I wish existed for me 4 years ago. Are you angry and sad? Are you feeling deflated and lost? Do you see an end to your sickness? My heart aches as I read stories of people who continue to suffer from this complex disease. [...]
