Could we be on the verge of curing Lyme? Well, that would be a beginning for us. Next, we need drugs that kill the coinfections, such as Borrelia Afzelli and Borrelia Bavariensis. These are the 3 different forms of Borrelia that I have been treating. Then there's Bartonella, Babesia, Anaplasmosis, Erlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Stari... the list is long.

But this looks like the best news that I've ever seen in Lyme research. Please, God, let this work!

Well, we can thank COVID for ushering in a new era, where the CDC is FINALLY willing to admit Lyme causes chronic symptoms. I would argue with the language "even after appropriate treatment," however, it's a start.

CDC now lists Lyme as infection that can cause chronic symptoms Things are starting to shift.

Let's pray that the 3rd time is the charm when it comes to my SOT treatments. Today is the big day where we begin to annihilate Borrelia Hermsii by using anti-sense technology. The process effectively sterilizes the pathogens so they can't replicate (multiply) and therefore, after they've lived their natural life span, they are dead and gone. For GOOD. That is what I'm visualizing as the IV is dripping!

I've had 2 out of 3 SOTs prior to today, and I can definitely tell that progress is being made. I feel much better than I did when all of these infections reactivated. I'm very optimistic that this will help me get not just to remission, but to a CURE!! After 6 months, if I am still showing positive infections on the Vibrant Tick Borne Illness 2.0 test, then I will likely target the pathogens with the Rife Machine we purchased just before starting the SOTs.

All of these treatments are, as you probably know, incredibly expensive and not covered by insurance. And that's because the government entity charged with the responsibility of recognizing diseases (the CDC) has pathologically ignored our suffering and allowed insurance companies (who don't want to have to pay for this very expensive, chronic illness) to influence their decision to ignore us. The US medical system is FRAUGHT with corruption, in case you didn't know.

Ok, that's enough of my soapbox. I'll keep y'all posted on the progress I'm making. Please say prayers for me!

Ever had a negative Lyme disease test? It doesn't mean that you don't have Lyme, unfortunately.

This article explains why, in excellent detail. There are more accurate tests than the one your conventional doctor gives you. Unfortunately they aren't covered by insurance, usually. But they are more reliable. If you've ever been bit by a tick, gotten a bullseye rash or have been diagnosed with chronic pain, fatigue, fibromyalgia, etc., it would be wise to do a specialty test to make sure it's not Lyme or associated diseases. I can order the Vibrant Labs Tick Borne Zoomer 2.0 specialty test, which is one of the most accurate and comprehensive tests on the market today. I do a free consult and then order the test.

Ok, folks. Round 2 for the SOT treatment! Praying it continues to help me kick these infections out permanently!!!

So many have reached out to me, sharing the news that Pfizer is working on a Lyme Vaccine, thinking I'll be excited about it. You need to understand history so you ensure you don't repeat it.

The Lyme disease vaccine--separating fact and fiction News coverage of the forthcoming Lyme disease vaccine tends to gloss over many important facts from the last Lyme vaccine.

I've decided to share my personal journey this time around (3rd time treating these horrific infections), in hopes it will make a difference with other patients as well as to educate the public.

Today is a big day in my post-COVID Lyme Relapse treatment. I'm finally getting one of the 3 SOT (supportive oligonucleotide therapy) treatments I've been wanting to do for a long time. This is a cutting edge therapy that was originally developed to treat/cure Hepatitis, and also to treat cancer. The way SOT works is fascinating -- and it uses RNA technology.

The doctor's office extracts blood from the patient and then ships it to the lab, which isolates whichever bacteria/viruses we are targeting (there are usually MANY MORE infections going on besides Lyme). Then the lab extracts the microscopic RNA of the targeted bacteria/virus and puts it into a very tiny test tube. Then the lab ships the tiny tube back to the doctor's office and then they infuse it back into the patient, a long with some steroid and saline.

Once the RNA is inside the body, it goes to work, searching out all of the bacteria in the body that has RNA that matches it, and it does something pretty incredible -- it shuts down the bacteria/viruses' ability to replicate (reproduce). So it's basically birth control for the bacteria/viruses. The idea is that once the bacteria/virus runs it's normal life span in the body, the SOT makes it impossible for it to create a "next generation," and when it dies off, it is gone from the body. Sometimes patients need more than 1 of these treatments per bacteria/virus, in order for there to be none left in the body.

Each one of these treatments costs close to $3,000 and guess what? Insurance doesn't cover a dime. Most of us have at least 3 major active infections in the body, as mentioned, and each infection may require more than one treatment. So you see, only people who are lucky/blessed enough to have this kind of money are able to get this treatment. Welcome to the inequities of this horrible, debilitating, pathologically ignored disease process.

I am so full of gratitude for the ability to use some of our savings to cover the cost of these treatments. Please join me in praying that they are effective at knocking down these diseases for good. I'm going to be treating 2 more pathogens over the next 3 months after this one. And please add to your prayers that the Herxheimer reactions will be mild if at all (Google this if you don't know what it is. In short, the patient can feel MUCH worse before getting better).

Finally, I ask you to please pray for all of us still suffering from a debilitating and invisible disease that our medical system still denies. So many people are suffering horribly. Check on your friends with these illnesses, folx. The loneliness and isolation, combined with ignorance and gaslighting by doctors and family/friends, plus no reliable tests, no insurance coverage and no human trials (meaning no sanctioned treatments known to work) is truly torture. It's profoundly unfair. There are more than 15x the amount of people contracting these vector borne diseases than HIV every year, and still NOT. ONE. SINGLE HUMAN TRIAL.

When an innocent hike puts a child in a coma after almost 7 hours of seizure activity!

Boy, 6, had a mystery headache, then was screaming in pain. It was from a tick bite When Aiden complained of headaches and developed a fever, his parents felt worried. At hospital, he quickly deteriorated, experiencing a 6.5 hour seizure.

At this point in history, most of us have been bit by a tick, flea, mite, spider or mosquito that carries Lyme/coinfections. And they also carry other nasty, horrific pathogens that can cause horrible, unexplained illnesses.

Most healthy people's immune systems can fight these pathogens off, but if someone who has these latent pathogens gets sick, has surgery, is exposed to toxic environmental substances (like molds or heavy metals), or even gets an immunization, it can tip the scale and allow the pathogens to run amok in the body (because the immune system is working so hard to heal from that other factor that the pathogens get a chance to proliferate).

Anyone with Long-COVID, or who has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, POTS, PANS/PANDAS, MS, ALS, Osteo or Rumatoid Arthritis ... would be very wise to get a specialty test for Lyme and associated diseases. Otherwise you really haven't turned over every stone. But you need to understand that there is a MASSIVE difference between the test your doctor will give you for Lyme disease, and the specialty tests I am talking about. The one your doctor gives you only tests for 1 pathogen: Borrelia Burgdorferi. Also, it is only about 50% accurate. So half the time that someone ACTUALLY DOES HAVE LYME DISEASE, the doctors tell the patient they are negative and have ruled it out. This sends patients away from this diagnosis, and can cause a VERY BIG PROBLEM if, in fact, the patient does have it but can't make enough antibodies to show a positive titre test.

There are MUCH BETTER TESTS, that don't only look for Lyme, but also for Babesia, Bartonella (cat scratch fever), Anaplasmosis, Erlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Tick Borne Relapsing Fever, EBV, Strep, Herpes, Chlamydia and many others. Insects carry all of these pathogens and MORE. And your doctor likely won't have a clue how to test for these organisms using the right kind of test.

I realize it's not research, but just in my own practice as a functional Lyme Literate Therapist and Health Coach, I've seen a high correlation between people with long COVID and Lyme/coinfections. I think COVID is bringing out latent pathogens like these vector borne ones, and the pathogens must be dealt with for the Long-C to go away.

Even if someone has had a "negative Lyme test" from their conventional doctor, it is very possible the test was inaccurate. As mentioned, there are much better, specialty tests on the market This is often what happens. People get CRAZY symptoms with Lyme. It attacks the body in so many different ways depending on the specific person's makeup, that it "mimics" other diseases (they even call Lyme "the great imitator").

Unfortunately the CDC has not done a really great job of being accurate about Lyme (as mentioned, it can live a LONG time in your body, dormant, and activate when a trigger like a stressor -- even like having a baby -- causes it to proliferate because immune system in the body is working hard to heal from the trauma of the event, and the Lyme are like PARTY TIME, and suddenly you're debilitated, with the strangest symptoms no doctor can answer for, or they give you some non-diagnosis like fibromyalgia or CFS).

The best test on the market looks for the actual DNA instead of the antibodies (which often are unable to be made against the Lyme/coinfections after they take over the body -- it's a genetic adaptation that the spirochetes, aka Lyme pathogen, have developed over millennia). Vibrant Labs Tick Borne Zoomer 2.0 offers genetic, PCR testing (here is a link to the test: https://www.vibrant-wellness.com/test/TickborneDiseases )

Unfortunately, insurance doesn't cover this test, and it is very expensive. Most doctors don't know about it. I'm not a Doctor but I am a licensed practitioner and became a provider for this lab so I could help people figure this out, the same way I was helped by other people in the Lyme community.

****I don't make a cent on doing this.*** I just order the test for people after a free 30 minute consultation. And the patients get the results in their portal at no additional cost. The patient just pays the lab for the test, directly. I receive no commission (check with the lab. Practitioners make nothing by ordering this test. Some other practitioners might mark the test up. But I leave myself 100% out of the fees, so that there is no conflict of interest).

It could give you answers if you have mysterious , unexplained illnesses. It tests for like 40 different pathogens. If anyone reading this wants me to order this test, reach out to me. I'm not here to make any money on this. I am only doing this to help, and to pay it forward as others did for me and my family. May we all enjoy good health!
