Lyme Voice Radio, Discussing your Lyme Disease Journey with Aaron & Sarah Sanchez

Today on Lyme Voice I am joined by Scott Forsgren.  In 1997 Scott was in his twenties and became violently ill.  It was the scariest thing he had ever experienced.  Overnight, his body was ravaged by an unknown illness.  He had difficulty walking, balance problems, blurred vision, low-grade fevers, rapid heart rate, burning sensations in his arms and legs, severe joint pain, nausea, digestive disturbances (we'll leave it at that), brain fog, muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, skin-hypersensitivity, motor-like tapping sensations in my hands and feet, and never-ending fatigue. Doctors and health-care professionals were baffled.  They suggested that he had Epstein-Barr virus, Mononucleosis, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, severe allergies, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and of course, even that it was all "in my head".  He cannot count the number of times he was referred to a psychiatrist.  Though he will readily admit to the reality that he probably did not need one, as it had nothing to do with his physical health.  After 27 doctors and nine months of feeling as though he had the flu everyday, he was diagnosed with multiple parasitic infections including Blastocystis Hominis, Giardia Lamblia, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba Hystolytica, and others.  He was also diagnosed with severe Candida resulting from antibiotic overuse from several previous doctors.   Additionally, he had Leaky Gut Syndrome and severe food allergies.  He tried so many different things to get well.  He received mega-doses of vitamins through IV, administered coffee enemas.  He was "smudged" by mystic healers.  Gave up wheat and fruit products for years.  He gave himself regular injections of vitamins to help with the malabsorption resulting from the infections.  He even went to one doctor that claimed that he was ill due to a virus found in Crystal Geyser bottled water (which of course never existed).  He took EPD (Enzyme-Potentiated Desensitization) shots every two months to help desensitize and heal his immune system.  The EPD treatments required three days of staying at home eating nothing but potatoes and water. I share all of this because this is not unique to a lyme disease patient.  It takes many doctor and multiple "guesses" to get the actual diagnosis.Listen in and learn more today from Scott!Sponsors:Envita Medical Center: Envita Medical Center: A Center of Excellence for Personalized Oncology and Lyme Disease Treatment located in Scottsdale, AZ.

Chronic fatigue in his early 20's was threatening Dr. Nichol's ability to finish school. He was also confused as to why he was having a hard time "getting out of bed in the morning." While his tests at multiple doctors were "within range" the way he felt was less than optimal and not sustainable.Talking Points:-Using breathing techniques to regulate the nervous system-Buteyko and Win Hof breathing methods-Cold exposure therapy-Peptide therapies to stimulate tissue repair-Resetting your chronic stress responses-Understanding mitochondrial diseasesDr. Miles Nichols is a functional medicine doctor specializing in Lyme, mold illness, gut, thyroid, and autoimmunity.

Breaking the Chronic Nightmare of Lyme Disease brings a common-sense reality into the subject of Lyme.It explains what is going on with the body processes that cause all of the problems that arise with Lyme disease. Once the interactive breakdown of body processes is identified and understood, these same processes can be tested for the best support to nurture healing and recovery. It is working with the body to heal that restores health.Talking Points:-Diagnosis, the double edge sword (IgG vs. IgM).-The biggest predisposition for Lyme is Candida.-The reality of ineffective care and testing.-Hormones are always secondary...Toxicity is primary.-Medical PTSD-Protocols...a guess at a guess.-The area of Intimacy gets robbed.-Barriers to the heart must be removed.-Toxic relationships are a BIG issue in chronic illnesses.-Removing guilt and shame.-Rest, security and self-worth.Dr. Brad has been studying & applying Functional Medicine for over 30 years. He is a researcher & a pioneer in developing breakthrough approaches to resolve chronic health.

**This Is How I Save My Life with Amy B. Scher**When doctors have all but given up, when a diagnosis eludes you, and when every test result raises more questions than answers, how do you save yourself? Like so many survivors they make one choice, and one action step after the other...Talking Points:-This was Life or Death, not Eat, Pray, Love.-We all deserve to be happy and free.-Blame vs. Responsibility-Healing FOMO-Depression, uncovering who we really areBy the time Amy B. Scher was twenty-eight years old, she had lived through almost a decade of misdiagnoses, excruciating pain, brain lesions, bone marrow biopsies, blood transfusions, and multiple hospital stays to treat her late-stage, chronic Lyme disease.Taking forty-four pills a day and deteriorating rapidly, she consulted with more than sixty doctors, including the top experts in Los Angeles, the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis, and a state-of-the-art hospital in Chicago. When the best physicians in America labeled her condition incurable and potentially terminal, it was up to Amy to blaze her own path forward.Then, in a stroke of serendipity, she heard about an experimental treatment only available in India—human embryonic stem cell therapy—which had as much probability of killing her as it did of curing her. She boarded a plane with no idea of what awaited her: culture shock, radical medical treatment, and most surprising of all, life-affirming love.With warmth and humor, Amy’s powerful and uplifting story of sheer determination is for anyone who believes in—or doubts—the existence of miracles. It is for anyone who wants desperately to believe in the power of the human spirit when it seems that all hope is lost. For everyone who has suffered from chronic pain, grappled with an autoimmune condition, fought for a diagnosis, or trusted their gut and their body when no one else did, Amy is a living example of how our instinct to survive can propel us onward.Sponsors:Envita Medical Center: Envita Medical Center: A Center of Excellence for Personalized Oncology and Lyme Disease Treatment located in Scottsdale, AZ.

(And which ones don’t.)Talking Points:-Symptoms are indicative of a condition.-300-400 treatments per condition.-Stuff That Works is empowering people to share their experiences.-Patients have real-world information in the medical world.-The age of onset for chronic illnesses is dropping dramatically.-50%-90% of the time patients can diagnosis themselves. Compare that with John Hopkin's diagnosis rate of 27%.TOGETHER WE ARE BETTERMost of us dealing with a chronic condition spend hours online searching for better treatments because we feel no one has properly researched which treatments will work best for people like us. We’re right: nobody’s doing it, even for the most common or serious conditions, let alone more mundane or rare ones. It’s just too expensive to conduct large-scale patient interviews, and most medical research is done on very small groups of people. The result? The treatments we get are far from being optimized for us.ENTER CROWDSOURCINGJust like Wikipedia, Waze or Kickstarter, when people come together for a common cause the result can be huge. We should be driving the research about our condition: we know how treatments affect us, and collectively we have more information than any organized research could ever gather. Together, we can build the world’s richest and most up-to-date database for treatment effectiveness, and use it to learn more about our condition— underlying causes, patterns in symptoms, comorbidities, and which treatments work best for each of us.HOW IT WORKSPeople dealing with chronic conditions share their experience in an organized survey. This data is then normalized, anonymized and analyzed using advanced machine learning algorithms that are programmed to look for valuable insights—for the entire condition community, for subgroups and for individuals. The insights are shared with the community, where members can comment, discuss and pose new research questions.Link: Figuring out together which treatments work bestSponsors:Envita Medical Center: Envita Medical Center: A Center of Excellence for Personalized Oncology and Lyme Disease Treatment located in Scottsdale, AZ.

Products like apple cider vinegar or even stevia can kill a Lyme spirochete. So, why are people so sick? Why is this illness endlessly complicated?•    Let’s talk biofilms, or in official terms, Amino polysaccharide. •    Did you know that the Lyme spirochete has the ability to create its own protection in the form of what is called a biofilm, much like a spider, creating a web? •    A misconception about biofilm is that it is floating around each bacterium, that’s not how it works. Just like a spider that can leave its web and return later. •    The Lyme biofilm is between an 8-16 carbon sugar-it is literally harder than steel. •    The Lyme spirochete can produce a new biofilm in 72 hours. •    The Lyme spirochete can also change forms= spirochete form, L form, cyst form. •    Things that will activate the Lyme spirochete to come out of the biofilm are events (emotional, physical, spiritual, marital, or traumatic) and or a physical event like an auto accident. •    “The key to Lyme disease is eliminating the biofilms.”-Dr.Wine (20:00) •    100% natural •    Perfect health is not when you don’t have symptoms. Perfect health is when your body regenerates at the proper cadence. •    The body doesn’t need help to regenerate, it does it automatically. All you need to do is remove the “interferences.” •    25% of what we do is to eliminate the biofilm. The other 75% is helping the body regenerate.Lyme Laser Centers, Inc. was founded with the goal of providing an affordable means of treating the distressing symptoms of Lyme disease. We have successfully cared for hundreds of acute and chronic Lyme clients. Lyme is a progressive disease that can have permanent, irreversible effects on the body. Damage to the neurological system is especially difficult to reverse. The Lyme Laser Protocol™ is designed to immediately begin the regeneration of these systems. Our research has shown that a significant number of our clients have undiagnosed co-factors that severely suppress normal body function and regeneration. It is just as important to be able to identify what these issues are and address them, as it is to address the Lyme itself.Sponsors:Envita Medical Center: A Center of Excellence for Personalized Oncology and Lyme Disease Treatment located in Scottsdale, AZ.

Getting accurate testing and figuring out what is really going on in your body can be a really hard aspect of life with a chronic illness. Technology is changing things rapidly and today we talk with Dr. Fry, the founder of Fry Laboratories LLC, about those changes and what that means for patients.*Fry Labs is a CLIA clinical diagnostic laboratory that participates in CAP and API validation systems.Dr. Fry founded the Southwest Center for Chronic Disease to help fund basic medical research.

Journeying through the land of chronic pain and chronic illness often includes an unfathomable amount of prescription medications. It is often one of the few solutions offered for chronic conditions within western medicine. Those prescription drugs consistently bring with them toxins and unwanted side effects.Long before any of us were around, Mother Nature began providing her own medications. But for reasons, we will explore, some true and some false, people can be hesitant or unaware about the benefits of using cannabis as medicine.Dr. Christine Arseneau, Pharm.D., FMCHC addresses four hurdles that people typically need to overcome to use cannabis as a medicine:1. Fear of THC2. Legality/stigma3. Picking a delivery system (inhaling vs. oral vs. topical...)4. Finding your doseChristine earned her doctorate in pharmacy in 2008 and has a unique skill set due to her diverse work experience and entrepreneurial spirit. She is a functional medicine certified health coach, has certifications in cannabis medicine from Oaksterdam University (America’s first cannabis college), and is a member of the International Society of Cannabis Pharmacists.She has an invaluable breadth of knowledge of how to utilize Western Medicine’s wisdom and combine that with her passion in natural options and addressing the root causes of disease for optimum health and wellness.Guest Links:Lyme Support was designed to guide others struggling with tick-borne infections to a place of health and hope.Link: (link) www.Lymesupport.comSurviving Lyme - 90 Days to Navigate Your Disease and Reclaim Your Health.Private Facebook group - Surviving Lyme - Navigate Your Disease and Reclaim Your Health.Link: (link)https://www.facebook.com/groups/927257454356868/Connect with Lyme Voice:(link) https://lymevoice.com/Instagram: @LymeVoiceSarah Schlichte Sanchez: Sanchezsmile@gmail.com

Mysterious and unrecognized symptoms can leave you feeling overwhelmed and confused about what protocols to implement, whom to trust and where to put your resources.Dr. Diane Mueller believes that "there is NO one size fits all in medicine" and that different people respond to different therapies and approaches. She speaks from both experience and education!This episode is packed with practical advice about:-Doctor Hopping-"When to hop and when to stop."-Mindset (Fight) + Action (Heal)-Medical PTSD-Reacting vs. Responding-Decision Fatigue-Pulsating Microbials-Social Isolation-Pathological responses that impact your cortisol levels-Creating a HEALTHY internal dialogue (One of my favorite topics)Since restoring her own health and recovering from neurological Lyme disease she utilizes these insights to help patients that are stuck, confused, and suffering.Her "Super-Power" (or super skill) is that she empowers patients to "ask the right questions." If you can learn to ASK, advocate and implement, you will begin to discover which medical approach is right for you.*Friends, if you pay close attention to this accidental journey, you too can discover super-skills. (Send me a message and tell me about yours. It'll seriously make my day!!! If you tell me your super skill, I'll tell you one of mine!)Bio:As a survivor of Lyme Disease and Mold Illness, Dr. Mueller is passionate about bringing research, understanding, and compassion to those with these diseases. Dr. Mueller holds a dual doctorate, one in naturopathic medicine and a second one in acupuncture and oriental medicine. Her mission is in bringing truth and transparency about the current research, treatment modalities, and clinical insights to her CO and national community.She has co-authored a book that is to be released in May 2021 called Use Your Mind to Heal Your Mold and Lyme.

"Chronic disease was a forest fire that burned my life to the ground. Once I stopped fighting the fire and let it burn away the things I had once thought valuable, I began to learn from it and accept where I was. The empty spaces gave me room for new growth and my life moved in a different direction." -- Gregg Kirk (from the book "The Gratitude Curve") Key Takeaways about Enemas:   I (Gregg Kirk) stumbled across information about the Gerson Institute and their well-known Gerson Therapy that had been developed for those suffering from cancer and chronic illnesses. While their juicing and dietary restrictions didn’t resonate with me, Dr. Max Gerson’s research on coffee enemas intrigued me a great deal. Apparently, during World War I, he was stationed in Europe in a medical unit that treated victims of the frontlines.    Gerson and the staff were using enemas to treat their patients, and when they ran out of clean water one day, the unit began using coffee as an alternative measure. Within days, the medical staff began noticing an increased improvement in their patients. There was a clear difference between water enemas and coffee enemas, so Dr. Gerson studied what exactly was taking place: According to Gerson's research, coffee enemas stimulate the body into generating glutathione, and if a patient holds the coffee in the colon for 12-15 minutes, the body’s entire blood supply passes through the liver 4-5 times, carrying poisons picked up from the tissues. In this way, a coffee enema acts as a form of dialysis of the blood across the gut wall. So not only does the enema clear out toxic debris from the intestines, but it activates the liver for further detoxing and also acts as a blood cleanser. This sounded interesting to me, so I bought an enema apparatus, some freshly-ground organic coffee from my local grocery store, and I brewed 4 cups of coffee and mixed it with cool spring water to create about a half-gallon solution. I didn’t tell a soul I was doing this. To make sure I didn’t have an accident after I allowed the solution to flow in with the enema kit, I laid down in my bathtub to make sure there were no disasters. After 12 minutes, and a great amount of will power, I sat back on the toilet and released everything. It took about 10 minutes for it all to come out. A few times I got up to leave, but more solution drained through my intestines that I needed to release. The results were the most amazing detox I’ve ever experienced. Depression that had hovered over my waking thoughts almost entirely evaporated. My vision changed. The colors were brighter and I felt more mentally clear. I actually felt lighter in my gut, and I realized that the feelings of hopelessness and low-grade depression I had felt for years of treatment were a direct result of the cytokines and toxins that were hanging around in my body. I began doing coffee enemas almost every day and never looked back. It wasn’t until about 10 years later when everyone else in the Lyme groups began talking about them that I finally came out of the closet about their effectiveness. Cistus Tea Enemas in Action In 2017, I opened a Lyme Recovery Clinic in Connecticut and began recommending coffee enemas to the patients I began coaching. We used them so frequently in a detox regimen that I developed for patients that some began to jokingly refer to them as Reverse Lattes. However, I found that a number of patients were either allergic to coffee or sensitive to caffeine. And some had such high anxiety that the small amount of caffeine “lift” you get from the enema raised their anxiety to an uncomfortable level. I began offering suggestions of baking soda and sea salt enemas as an alternative, but I wanted something that had the same power as coffee enemas. A year later, a patient introduced me to Cistus tea(Cistus Incanus), and after I tried it myself, I immediately began adding it to my patients’ treatments to address intestinal yeast, UTIs, mold, biofilms, and inflammation. By that summer, I began adding 1-2 cups of it to my own coffee enemas, and it had a dramatic effect in helping me treat intestinal parasites. Soon after, I speculated that since Cistus tea was so effective in treating yeast, mold, and biofilms at the top of the intestinal tract through drinking it, it should also have a positive effect in the lower bowel as well. It then dawned on me that Cistus tea by itself might prove to be a great alternative to coffee for patients who can’t tolerate coffee in their enemas. After working with a handful of patients to get them started on it, these patients reported vast symptom improvements, intestinal cleansing, parasite eradication and lessened inflammation as a result of doing regular Cistus tea enemas. While a Cistus tea enema does not have the exact same effects as coffee enemas -- such as opening bile ducts in the liver and helping the body to generate glutathione -- it does have as many positive effects to make it a good replacement for coffee enemas. Benefits of a Cistus Tea enema:   Removes biofilms on contact Removes bacteria from the lower bowel Removes viruses from the lower bowel Removes mold from the lower bowel Removes Candida Albicans yeast from the lower bowel Reduces inflammation   Making your Cistus Tea enema What You’ll Need:   Enema kit Glass half-gallon container Cistus tea (either tea bags or loose tea) Tea diffuser or tea ball (if you have loose tea) 6 oz. teacup Stainless steel small saucepan or glass tea kettle to boil water Clean water. Do not use tap water because of its impurities. I recommend spring water or filtered water.   Step one: Purchase a sturdy and reliable enema kit that is free from BPA (cancer-causing substances present in some plastics). Here’s an inexpensive kit I recommend. Step Two: Brew some tea. I recommend using a glass tea kettle or stainless steel saucepan (try not to use aluminum equipment because impurities can leech into the enema solution). Heat 3-4 cups of spring water to a boil. Step Three: Brew at least 3 cups of tea individually, using the same tea diffuser or tea bag. According to Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt who has studied the tea, certain polyphenols and micronutrients are released from the Cistus tea leaves upon multiple brewing of the same leaves. In other words, if you brew the same batch 3 times, it will continue to unlock the good stuff, so you’ll only need one tea bag or one tea diffuser to make one enema. In order to do this, brew each cup individually, steeping for at least 5 minutes and until the color of the tea is deep amber or light brown. Then pour it into your glass holding container that should already be half filled with cool spring water. Warning, if you pour boiling water into an empty glass container, it may cause it to shatter.Warning, if you pour boiling water into an empty glass container, it may cause it to shatter. Step Four: Fill your glass holding container with at least 3 cups of Cistus Tea and a good amount of cool spring water to almost fully fill the half-gallon container. Close the stopper tube of your enema kit and pour the entire solution into the holding bag of the kit. Hang your kit using the metal hook onto a shower curtain rod or sturdy hook that is over your head, preferably in your bathroom. You can lubricate the applicator end of your enema tube with some coconut or mineral oil, slide it in place and open the valve to let the solution flow into you. If this is your first time, you may want to do this while lying down in your bathtub to make any accidents less drastic. Step Five: Once the enema kit holding bag is empty, close the stopper valve and lie down for at least 10 minutes. This is a good time to do some meditating or relaxation while the solution moves around your intestinal tract and does its thing. Step Six: After at least 10 minutes, sit on the toilet and release everything. You may notice that your bowel movement is loose and diarrhea-like. This is normal. You may also notice things that might look like worms or parasites in your stool, and if that’s the case, you may want to adjust this solution to include a parasite-fighting agent (see recipe below). Make sure you get all of the solution out. If you don’t, it may actually cause a mild herx reaction, and the way to fight this is to immediately follow up this enema with a water enema if you start to have a headache or bad feeling in your stomach immediately following the Cistus tea enema. It will get easier over time and overall symptoms will start to reduce as well. It is perfectly healthy to do one of these a day if you have a large amount of toxin build-up from treatments you may be employing. Other Enema Recipes The 50/50: Brew 2 cups of Cistus tea and 2 cups of organic coffee. Add this to cool spring water to create a half-gallon solution that includes the benefits of both Cistus tea and coffee. Parasite Fighter Brew: Brew a combination of Cistus tea and Antiparasitos Tea (a Peruvian tea that gently kills parasites and inhibits their ability to lay eggs). Either brew 2 cups of Cistus tea and 2 cups of Antiparasitos tea separately, or fill a tea diffuser with 50% Cistus tea and 50% Antiparasitos tea to create 4 cups of mixed tea. Individual brewing of the teas will create a stronger solution. Add the 4 cups of tea solution to cool spring water to create a half-gallon solution.

From farm town girl to Olympic Swimmer, to bedridden and beyond, therapist Katrina Radke uses her inspirational story, professional experiences, and powerful yet simple tools to help you find what drives you to be your best while feeling deeply satisfied in all areas of your life. Key Takeaways: Chronic fatigue, insomnia, and 15 doctors later is when I finally found a practitioner that was helping. I went on a HUGE spiritual journey, as my titles and roles shifted. I had to look at life very differently. I had to ask “who am I really.” Having my mind not work and realizing this wasn’t going to be over in a day were some of the hardest parts. Having been a person who liked and went after goals, Radke states “I had to learn to be ok with whatever showed up in the moment.” My biggest lesson during that time was “To TRUST, and to know that I am ok, no matter what happens. Even if I’m bedridden.” (10:00) When my Doctor suggested at the age of 21 that I should get a disabled parking sticker, I was in shock because I was used to pretending that I wasn’t really sick. “The wildest part was not being able to explain to people why I was disabled.” I learned that I could trust my voice, my intuition, I get to know that I’m not making stuff up, I didn’t need anyone else’s approval, I just need my own. If I’m ok with me, the rest doesn’t matter so much. (12:00) (I was this far into finishing the show notes when I had a concussion, more details in the episodes to come) **I’m better, I think, who knows. Life with Lyme is continually changing. We will be talking all about change, loss, medical PTSD, grief, and new treatment options here in November 2020.

Treating patients with Ketamine for 5 years now, almost 2 years at his own clinic, Jonathan Evertsen and the staff of Urbane Medical, are dedicated to serving the Lyme community and have seen some of the most amazing stories of healing, fortitude, love, and strength and have seen some miraculous improvements from IV Ketamine Therapy. Key Takeaways: Ketamine promotes a sense of mental well-being! Ketamine treatments are helping those who suffer from chronic symptoms. Helps to alleviate chronic regional pain. ~It can restore a sense of vigor ~Increases neuro elasticity. ~Less anxiety ~Less depression ~Less OCD ~Less PTSD ~Increases concentration ~Renewed sense of self ~Can help people with mobility and gait. ~Reduces brain fog ~Migraine relief After my first Ketamine treatment...“I’m not drunk, and I’m not high, but I’m not sober.”Sarah   Reestablishes interrupted nerve connections that are necessary to recover from traumatic memories.   “We have to stop the suffering”-Sarah “Lyme hasn’t had the attention it deserves”-Jonathan Evertsen “The lunacy that you have to go through to find adequate care with this illness. The amount of courage you have to have to continue to self-advocate. The amount of resources (time, energy, money) that you have to be willing to commit to your healing journey, is off the charts.”-Sarah Fantastic definition of traditional western medicine... If a pill doesn’t solve the problem, I’ve got nothing.” One of the best gifts you can give someone EVER, in their entire lives, is to eliminate their pain.”-Sarah The most important thing about a practitioner at this point in my journey is how I “feel”, if they “hear me” and if they believe me.   “The relationships that we have with our patients in extremely moving and we want to be reachable”-Jonathan     Resources Mentioned: Yale Medicine Article https://www.yalemedicine.org/stories/ketamine-the-new-miracle-drug/ Connect with my guest:    Jonathan Evertsen 480-327-7160 833-887-2263 Jonathan@UrbaneMedical   Contact Sarah-Sanchezsmile@gmail.com Sponsors: Envita Medical –Envita Medical Center Medical billing services MedicalBillGurus.com Lyme Voice Facebook  The Lyme Voice Podcast- Lymevoice.com Lyme Documentary-Disappearing From Society, Life with chronic Lyme in 14 minutes…Documentary Little Bite, BIG TROUBLE, available on Amazon –Children’s book about Lyme disease Organic coffee!  https://www.ovaldogs.com Tick Warriors “Insect Repellent”  https://tickwarriors.com/ Organic coffee!  https://www.ovaldogs.com

Bio-From Grad Student and workaholic to bed-bound Lyme patient, Lauren started Lyme Warrior four years ago when she learned the struggle of Lyme first hand and knew she had to help. Lauren holds a Masters in Analytics and has years of experience in promotion and the legal field. She is working to empower those with Lyme Disease and help others to join together to make a change while still fighting her personal battle with Lyme Disease.  To date, Lyme Warrior has given over $70,000 to Lyme research, Lyme patients in need, and shipped over 300 Kid's Smile boxes to children suffering from Lyme Disease. Lauren lives in Virginia with her best friend and teammate Eric where they run an Airbnb and regenerative agriculture farm.    Key Takeaways: Loving someone with Lyme is complicated. Seemingly overnight,  Lauren began dealing with anxiety and panic attacks and became bed-bound while searching for answers. (10:00) Self-advocacy is so important when you are being dismissed by practitioners. If you can learn anything from this episode, learn that you must be driving your own healthcare journey. (12:00) “Yeah, after two years...I finally found a diagnosis.” followed by the crushing reality that recovering from Lyme is, in fact, awful, and it didn’t work. I turned to the Lyme Facebook groups for answers on how to heal. A crash landing can happen when you are close to healing. Our 4th date consisted of moving across the country for treatment. Dating while going through the unknowns of being in treatment. Tapping into your intuition...keep doing what is working.  Accepting care as a vulnerable patient can be very difficult. When you do find people who can help you heal, you must let them into your world. Try and stay open to the possibilities around you, even when you are suffering.  “If you focus on the problems, you will miss the opportunities. If you focus on opportunities, you’ll see past your problems.” Who we are, is different than who we will inevitably become. 2 for 1 deal: Healing the Lyme often exposes other areas that need to be healed.(22:00) “It’s ok to be scared as you face the unknown of battling chronic Lyme.” Brene Brown says “Do it afraid.” “Let go of being scared of becoming someone else.”-Lauren Lovejoy (32:00) “I choose to let gratitude smack me in the face.”-Lauren Lovejoy A big misconception is that your friends and families will see and understand what you are battling. But they often don’t understand. And you may need to put boundaries around the relationships that are draining or taking away energy from you. Be open to new friends, they could be your next best resource. If you need answers, the FB groups can be really helpful to talk to strangers who ‘get it.”  Lyme Warrior was born out of wanting to help people get access to treatments.

Tricia Soderstrom is a wife and mom of four. Tricia and her husband Scott have been married for 30 years and live in Maryland. She is a career homeschool mom, a writer, speaker, virtual assistant and is the creator of Abounding in Hope with Lyme. She and her family suffered from chronic Lyme disease for over ten years. Tricia is passionate about health, nutrition, gardening, and helping women walk with Jesus through the uncertainty and difficulty of living with Lyme!  Key Takeaways: After being bedridden for 2 years, Tricia finally got a diagnosis of Lyme disease. Explaining the deep fatigue, loss of memory, loss of cognitive function, and pain.  After getting diagnosed, Tricia began to see that one of her children was also showing symptoms. Over the next few years, each person in the house was diagnosed with Lyme. Some of the crazy symptoms included: finger tapping, facial ticks, OCD, anxiety, panic attacks, rage, PANS, oppositional defiance disorder. She rocked our world. It took 3 years to get the Lyme doctor to also test for Babesia. The medicines we were on, weren’t helping our household heal. So we turned to homeopathy.  How much strength did it take for you to continually insist that something was wrong, and that your pain and fatigue wasn’t stemming from poor lifestyle choices?  I had to do an immense amount of research, with brain fog when we weren’t getting better.  Am I crazy? Doctors thought I was trying to get attention for myself and my kids. “I prided myself on taking really good care of my family, eating whole foods, exercising...and it was heartbreaking dealing with doctors who thought I was a Munchhousen-Mom.” Tricia I talk to so many moms who are juggling the chaos of trying to keep their kids healthy enough and up on their feet.  “Having a daughter with PANS rocked our world. For so long we weren’t sure what was going on. But she kinda ruled our world for a while. ” Tricia The OCD battle was me trying to help her, and her fighting me. “I try not to think about those times because I don’t like to go back there.” Tricia “Someone was always complaining about something else that is hurting.” Tricia “It was so immense, all I ever did was try and negate the chaos that was coming from one kid.”-Sarah Explaining to the other kids in the house that this wasn’t normal behavior, this wasn’t acceptable behavior, was an all-consuming task. Rage, OCD and constant fighting We had to continually tell our daughter how much we loved her.  Tag-team parenting: A MUST (we are on the same team and we must continually try and not turn on each other) Medical PTSD impacts us more than you want to believe. What does it mean to be a Lyme-Mom?  Homeopathy, diet, and nutrition are super big in the recovery game. Treating Lyme on a budget (if that’s even possible) “Your whole world is not what you wanted it to be.”-Tricia Resources Mentioned: AboundinginHopewithLyme.com Abounding in Hope Talks Podcast   Contact Sarah-Sanchezsmile@gmail.com Contact Tricia: AboundinginHopewithLyme.com Abounding in Hope Talks Podcast   Abounding in Hope Academy Facebook.com/AboundingInHopeWithLyme Instagram.com/AboundinginHopeWithLyme Twitter.com/AboundingInHope Sponsors:   Kangen Water- http://www.lymewater.com/ Envita Medical –Envita Medical Medical billing services MedicalBillGurus.com Lyme Voice Facebook  The Lyme Voice Podcast- Lymevoice.com Lyme Documentary-Disappearing From Society, Life with chronic Lyme in 14 minutes…Documentary Little Bite, BIG TROUBLE, available on Amazon –Children’s book about Lyme disease Organic coffee!  https://www.ovaldogs.com Tick Warriors “Insect Repellent”  https://tickwarriors.com/ Organic coffee!  https://www.ovaldogs.com

Ep.105 In 2015, Wendi’s life drastically changed when she was diagnosed with Lyme disease and other life-threatening infections.  Each chapter of her new book  “Dear Lyme Disease” takes you from theory to practice so you can start learning alternative healing tools and engaging in experiential exercises to start implementing a new way of thinking, living, finding your “new normal” and HOPE.  Key Takeaways:   “I discovered how strong I was when my body was at it’s weakest.”   No one teaches you how to live within a weak and broken body. I went from going on a 100-mile bike ride to having to crawl to the bathroom. (16:00) We live in a Go-Go-Go society, no one teaches how to live in slow motion. “I am not an authority on treating, diagnosing, and/or any other chronic disease and illness. I am however an authority on living with chronic pain and the symptoms of this disease and my other related diagnoses.”  Michael J Fox “This message is so simple and yet gets forgotten. The people living with the conditions are the experts.”   Writing this letter to Lyme disease allowed me to let go of so much anger.    I knew I needed to forgive (Lyme) in order to heal. My brain feels like it was reprogrammed. (38:00) Do you think the anger comes from the illness, or from the grief? BOTH How close to divorce are we?  “You should consider getting a counselor. Your marriage now has a 3rd party in it (illness). -Sarah Learning to live simply allows me to live. “You are the superhero in your own healing journey.”   What does worthiness have to do with healing your body? EVERYTHING…(50:00)   Giving yourself PERMISSION is such a huge part of healing. You have permission to feel the way that you do. It’s ok if it’s noon and you just got out of bed. You have permission to just be.  “It’s ok to flounder in the insanity of Lyme” (You’ll find your way, don’t give up) (54:00)-Sarah “My perspectives, my daily habits, the  limiting beliefs I wrestle with have all changed as I’ve dug into the recovery process.”-Sarah “I know after facing the reality of my own limitations, a certain freedom followed.” (1:00) Connect with my guest:  HealingForwardWithWendi.com   Sarah-Sanchezsmile@gmail.com Aaron-AaronLSanchez@gmail.com   Sponsors:   Kangen Water- http://www.lymewater.com/ Envita Medical –Envita Medical Medical billing services MedicalBillGurus.com Lyme Voice Facebook  The Lyme Voice Podcast- Lymevoice.com Lyme Documentary-Disappearing From Society, Life with chronic Lyme in 14 minutes…Documentary Little Bite, BIG TROUBLE, available on Amazon –Children’s book about Lyme disease Organic coffee!  https://www.ovaldogs.com Tick Warriors “Insect Repellent”  https://tickwarriors.com/ Organic coffee!  https://www.ovaldogs.com

Josey Buzby was just starting high school when ongoing health issues and ANXIETY forced her to do homebound (online) schooling.  Key Takeaways: “I wanted the normalcy of seeing my friends every day.”  I wanted to be in school. But I couldn’t stay awake, let alone remember anything.  The fluorescent lights hurt my eyes. The short term memory loss and not being able to speak the right words (word loss) and the right time made school almost impossible. (4:00) Lyme turned my life upside-down.  Anxiety and “weird pains” were my first symptoms. “I know something is wrong” After being fired by my physician who didn’t believe I had Lyme. I was sent on an incredibly weird, awful but exciting journey to find out what was wrong. (7:00) My moods were out of control. (The anti-hulk medication) My mom really fought to figure out what was going on.   “I did a 180-degree turn as a human.” “Lyme is horrible. It’s this thing you can’t see. You can’t see Lyme.”   Even if I don’t get better, I can still watch people grow. (17:00) I never thought I could be a functional member of society. You can laugh or you can cry, when situations are out of your control. We choose to laugh. Comedy was a way to cope with what was going on. You give people in your life “select information” because you don’t want to freak them out.  My friends had to make a choice to “stay with me” and I had to make a choice to “let them stay” in my life. (I didn’t want people to see me if I hadn’t showered in days) We shut a lot of people out, because they don’t understand what is going on. I didn’t want to know anything about Lyme disease. I didn’t want to watch the movies or read any of the books. My mom went into research mode, I didn’t want to know anything. “To LIVE would be an awfully big adventure”= my survival TATTOO  (I couldn’t get it until I was done with treatment)   “My Mom is the whole reason I lived.”   After being homebound for years. Reengaging with society was hard. I kept wondering if I could make friends again.   What if I can’t make friends anymore?   Training to be an EMT forced me to interact.  You feel like you have been robbed.  What would you say to other teens battling Lyme during highschool?  “I’m sorry you have no control. But you’ll get it back. Take the small wins as they come.” You can be a human again! It felt unreal to have normal worries.  “This is what normal people do.”  When you want to give up, you have to find something to look forward too.”   Connect with us:  Sarah-Sanchezsmile@gmail.com Aaron-AaronLSanchez@gmail.com   Sponsors: Kangen Water- http://www.lymewater.com/ Envita Medical –Envita Medical Medical billing services MedicalBillGurus.com Lyme Voice Facebook  The Lyme Voice Podcast- Lymevoice.com Lyme Documentary-Disappearing From Society, Life with chronic Lyme in 14 minutes…Documentary Little Bite, BIG TROUBLE, available on Amazon –Children’s book about Lyme disease Organic coffee!  https://www.ovaldogs.com Tick Warriors “Insect Repellent”  https://tickwarriors.com/

Ep.103 Dr. Armin Alaedini is a professor at Columbia University, where he leads a research laboratory focused on studying the role of the immune system, host-microbe interaction, and diet in complex disorders. His team’s research on Lyme disease in the past 15 years has focused on the chronic and post-treatment manifestations of the infection, leading to seminal findings that provide molecular evidence of a biological basis for the patient’s symptoms. He is currently a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of Global Lyme Alliance and a Working Group Member of the NIH Advisory Council on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Key Takeaways:   How does inflammation become permanent?  Could there be abnormalities in the immune response system because of Lyme disease? Could there be a biological basis for persistent inflammation? There is a biological basis for the symptoms Lyme patients are facing. This is not trivial, because there wasn’t scientific evidence to say it wasn’t psychosomatic.  The infection causes inflammation. Inflammation then becomes chronic.  Why do some patients recover and others don’t? Remove the infection, and then you still have to remove the inflammation. Borrelia components could remain.  Even after treatment with antibiotics, you can still have Borrelia in the body. (Animal studies) The inflammation that patients have early on in the infection is different than the persistent inflammation that patients have in the later stages of infection. (12:00) Biological markers to demonstrate that patients have chronic persistence of inflammation. This is really important because it gives us a handle to study these patients. There is basically no federal funding for Lyme disease. The NIH gives out a minuscule amount of funding for Lyme disease. Lack of funding is a major reason we haven’t made strides. We know a lot about Borrelia (about the infection itself) but the chronic symptoms that persist after having Lyme disease haven’t been properly studied.  We need more support from the NIH and other federal agencies. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (working group that counsels the NIH) NIH is slowly starting to be more supportive of research around CFS. CFS is a heterogeneous condition. It’s a spectrum disorder, making it very hard to study.  There is now a study section at the NIH dedicated to studying CFS. We need funding to entice new researchers in these underfunded areas. Testing for Lyme that is “accepted” as mainstream relies on the immune response to the infection itself.  We need to be able to find biomarkers in patients early on in the infection and later post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome. (30:00) We are still at the early stages of understanding (funding, research, clinical trials) these persistent symptoms.  We can’t focus only on antibiotics and antibacterial agents. (We need to think more broadly about treatment strategies)  Borrelia moves out of the bloodstream very quickly. From the blood, it goes to joints, nervous system and organs.  Clinicians and researchers process the information that they have differently. There is a very real psychological toll of unresolved symptoms on the patients.  The GUT has its own immune system and nervous system. (53:00) Neuroimmunology-The role of the immune system in neurologic and psychiatric symptoms. The gut interacts heavily with the brain. “I was initially interested in Lyme disease because the laboratory I was working in became interested in patients who were basically experiencing symptoms in response to vaccination from Lyme disease back in the 90’s.” LYMErix There is currently no vaccine for Lyme disease.  The early research that I did indicated that there may be some cross-reactivity of the immune response to the vaccine, against the nervous system. That was early research that we did, that we didn’t continue with for lack of funding.  What will treatment look like in the year 2040 for Lyme disease? Quick diagnosis, treatment, and resolution of symptoms. Better diagnostics and treatment for various symptoms.  The microbiome is a huge factor in health and recovery. (a.k.a diet) Patients are trying everything because that is what they have to do. “60%-70% of chronic fatigue syndrome patients also have gastrin intestinal symptoms. Which is significantly higher than the general population.” (1:02)   Connect with my guest: Dr. Armin Alaedini   Columbia University Institute of Human Nutrition-  630 West 168 Street PH1512E, New York, NY 10032 212-305-4808 https://www.ihn.cumc.columbia.edu/profile/armin-alaedini-phd Connect with Sarah or Aaron:   Sarah-Sanchezsmile@gmail.com Aaron-AaronLSanchez@gmail.com   Sponsors:   Kangen Water- http://www.lymewater.com/ Envita Medical –Envita Medical Medical billing services MedicalBillGurus.com Lyme Voice Facebook  The Lyme Voice Podcast- Lymevoice.com Lyme Documentary-Disappearing From Society, Life with chronic Lyme in 14 minutes…Documentary Little Bite, BIG TROUBLE, available on Amazon –Children’s book about Lyme disease Organic coffee!  https://www.ovaldogs.com Tick Warriors “Insect Repellent”  https://tickwarriors.com/ Organic coffee!  https://www.ovaldogs.com

What is really going on? How does the COVID 19 pandemic impact people with Chronic Lyme? Should you be worried, how will this impact ongoing care, and how to cope with the panic...Dr. Darin Ingels shares his experiences.  Key Takeaways:   The overwhelming majority of cases are in 3 states.    Lockdown vs. shelter in place The media is focused on panic...however the mortality rate is still very low at 1.5%-1.7%.  If you get exposed you have a 98% chance of recovering. What do we do know to keep ourselves safe? Washing your hands reduces your risk by 50%! Lyme patients who are already boosting their immune systems could be at an advantage, over the general public. Horizontal vs. verticle patients, you can’t compare the two different types of patients. There is so much that you can do...eat an alkaline diet! Hydroxychloroquine is being used as a treatment for this virus. The mechanism behind it really alters cellular PH to become more alkaline. Since that is the case, eat an alkaline diet.  “Keep-Herb” it kills everything except people. Cats claw, artemisia, and garlic.  From all the patients who are battling life with a chronic illness “welcome to the party.” Inaccurate testing Don’t wait for a pandemic to be proactive with your health. HIPPA rules have been suspended allowing MD’s to practice telemedicine via online appointments.  Connect With My Guest: As a naturopathic physician, I recognize that our bodies have the innate capacity to heal.

About My Guest: Julie Parker gets the complexities of Lyme and counseling. Too many times, Lyme patients have been told their symptoms are imaginary. They've been referred to multiple specialists, had more tests run than they can count, and are told to seek psychiatric help because nothing is really wrong physically. Then, when a Lyme diagnosis is made, family and friends don't understand the disease or why treatment can make you feel worse before you get better. You can end up isolated and with minimal support. Julie Parker understands what you're going through.  Not only is she Lyme Literate (trained to help those with Lyme and other chronic illnesses), but she and family members have Lyme disease and personally know the trials of diagnosis and treatment.  Key Takeaways: Getting a diagnosis of Lyme disease is at first a relief, because you get some validation that you aren’t crazy. (2:00) Very quickly you begin to understand the reality that treating Lyme disease is a HUGE monster of a task. The treatment process with Lyme is often a miserable and expensive process. The complexities of treating Lyme will completely change the way you view mental health. It will change everything about your practice. What I had been taught in grad school about the body and brain connection was completely different than what my patients were saying.  In grad school, we were taught that the brain is very powerful and can manifest physical symptoms, as a result of psychological conditions. Now when a client comes to see me with an acute and chronic mental health condition, I’m looking for an organic cause behind what’s happening.  What is your brain causing your body to do=old style of counseling? Now I think what is happening in your body, that is impacting your mental health?  Throw in the ridiculous aspects that come with Lyme disease-like extreme anxiety, isolation, debilitating fatigue, and the overwhelmingness of finding good treatment.  The organic and the psychological are inextricably intertwined.  Mainstream therapists routinely fail to realize that the psychological is being “driven” by something organic in the body like an underlying infection. (This isn’t something that most people get)  As a Lyme patient, you come to realize the intimate connections between body, mind, and spirit. But you aren’t treated as a whole person within our medical system or our mental health system. Especially when no one knows what is wrong. Or the people in your life don’t know how to support you. Therefore we are often only dealing with a fraction of what is going on within the body. Two realities play out as you try to find answers. One is that the majority of your symptoms are blamed on psychological problems like anxiety or depression. The other is that you are passed from physician to physician without effective psychological support.  Chronic pain isn’t just a symptom, it can also be a syndrome. (9:00) I had lived with extreme and chronic pain for years before discovering the fact that “pain clinics” even existed. -Sarah (10:00) There is a disconnect between getting medical, emotional and psychological care. The people who can find the tiniest reason to hold onto HOPE. Sometimes you need someone to Hope-For-You.  Mindset: HOPE + Proactive Action (13:00) There is some kind of emotional freedom in coming to the place where you are ok with not surviving.  There is also a sense of freedom in choosing to FIGHT for other people when you are ok with dying.  Caregiver burnout is a very real thing.  Caregivers can feel guilty about taking time for themselves or that time simply doesn’t exist. (17:00) Teens and adult children who are disabled and living at home because of their illness can feel stalled out in life. It is important to talk about what has been lost, the immense grief and helps them to focus on something they “can” do. The spiral of hopelessness can be fueled by other patients who are sick and miserable. You can’t get stuck within the trauma and negativity on social media.  Emotional and physical energy is at a premium, use what you have consciously. (21:00) “Be spiritually grounded. Know your beliefs and live them. We are hardwired to be engaged in spiritual life.” It is normal to question your thoughts and beliefs when everything is going wrong. When people are working toward being spiritually grounded in their beliefs, it changes their focus.  Religiosity is different than being spiritually grounded. We can go through different emotions (some of which are beneficial) but that is different from digging down and evaluating your beliefs, thoughts, and actions. You can find HOPE in honestly and consciously trying to evaluate where you are at and why. Become aware of what your limiting thoughts and beliefs are. Question them, dig in, is that belief pushing you towards your goals? If not, time for a rewrite.  Our spiritual beliefs are often connected to the big “WHY” of what we are doing and who we are doing it for. Why am I doing anything? Is it for me? For a kid or friend?  Find a practitioner, coach therapist or treatment program that you can buy into. (27:00) Buy in and then implement. The people that I see who are getting better and staying better for longer are using a combination of allopathic and naturopathic medicine. This combination. Knowing what feeds you spiritually, emotionally and physically will empower you to keep moving in the direction of rejuvenation, or eating a boxed cheesecake in the parking lot. (31:00)  Ex. Brainless TV, a walk, fishing, reading, playing a game on your phone. Selfcare is about what feeds you.  “The illness intrudes on so many aspects of life, that most people can never comprehend, and then those challenging aspects compound.”-Sarah (32:00) PANS/Pandas-When you have kids with both the medical and the psychological issues. Normalizing the struggles they are going through so they know they are not the only ones dealing with this. Explaining the symptoms and validating what they are feeling and experiencing can give them a place that is safe to talk about symptoms. “That’s not the real version of you.” -Julie Parker “It was healing for me to be around other patients that had Lyme because I knew it wasn’t all in my head. They also had atrophied muscles and lost cognitive function in the middle of a story. I was no longer alone in the mystery of dysfunction.”-Sarah What is normal? If you have been sick for a long time “sick is normal.”  Local support groups serve as a way to be around other people who look like you.  Lyme Literate Therapist-A safe place for Lyme-families. “This is what normal people do.”- Sarah (Trying to relearn what it means to have fun, be social, live and not just exist).  When you have spent years trying to stay alive, you forget how to live, how to laugh and how to love.” -Sarah Guilt and terror are a normal part of the learn to “live” process-It isn’t about regaining a sense of normalcy. Living differently often consists of setting new boundaries so that you can continue to heal.(52:00) As a patient, we have to ask. What is living going to look like for me?  You have to be deliberate in choosing to live...do whatever works, whatever feels good, whatever builds you up or brings you life. (57:00) “Without boundaries, you can’t heal. I think. I don’t know. But that’s how it’s been for me.” -Sarah Make deliberate decisions to move towards health. Because there are no easy answers. (1:00) In learning how to live-I’m going to do a thing that feels weird but is normal-ish. What will be different in treating Lyme in the year 2040? Kris Newby’s book BITTEN.  It is an acknowledgment that not only the disease exists. It’s that exists and requires a lot of practitioners and that it is very complicated. We were taught to look at mental health backward.  Advocacy Wellness-how to live a normal life and be able to speak up for those who cannot. (1:06) “We started Lyme Voice because we wanted to stop the needless suffering. But it is hard to be an advocate in this broken and dysfunctional community of people who are coming together based on trauma.” “We don’t have to agree on what the answers are. There is no one right way to heal. No two patients are alike.”-Julie Parker “We are all sick. We all need help. Be deliberate. Set boundaries. Choose what is helpful.” -Julie Parker Holy SHIT...it is so much harder than what the “average person” is dealing with. -Sarah Can you help me work out a decision tree?  We are all aliens trying to figure out how to get back to healing. “The common thread in chronic illnesses is that we all need to be heard.” Definitions: PANDAS is an acronym for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infection. Children with PANDAS may exhibit a variety of emotional and behavioral symptoms and have multiple physical and psychiatric diagnoses. See www.pandasnetwork.org for a starting point to learn about this diagnosis. Please note that the diagnostic criteria are changing and children are NOT required to have a rapid onset of symptoms in order to have PANDAS.  PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) is similar to PANDAS but caused by other factors and resulting in behavioral changes. Look here for more information.   Lyme disease is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria and is often missed by medical providers due to faulty medical testing and inaccurate knowledge of symptom presentation. Left untreated or inadequately treated, Lyme can become chronic and evolve into a total-body illness that debilitates.  Resources Mentioned: Melanie Thurnstrum, The Pain Chronicles Kris Newby, Bitten (The secret history of Lyme disease and biological weapons) Connect With My Guest: Meet The Counseling Associates LLC Team...Call us at 901-497-6827 or visit the "Contact" page to send us an email.

About My Guest: Dr. Lauren Tessier has undergone training as a CIRS Certified Physician specializing in the treatment of biotoxin illness due to mold and water-damaged buildings.  Life After Mold,  uses a patient-centered approach to help recover those that are suffering from mold-related illness.  An individually tailored, patient-centered approach is taken, employing a combination of Functional Medicine and Naturopathic Medicine. Key Takeaways: I had become a “mold canary.”  Finding and managing mold is a very insidious process. You realize a year into feeling bad that you are dealing with mycotoxins, mold fragments and it is triggering histamine response issues. It doesn’t happen overnight. (5:00) Learning to understand MOLD and the remediation process for myself has made me a better practitioner because I know how to help people who can’t afford to spend $10,000-$20,000+ on remediating their houses. Which is more common than not. Living with mold sensitivities often comes with warning signs. For example: If your nose starts to tingle when walking into a certain space. You can learn to work with these sensitivities and move on from it. There is hope.   Patients often feel shame and confusion when presented with the reality that MOLD could be triggering symptoms. (14:00)   I have fought so hard to find physicians that would ask questions, investigate, or think outside the box. I would welcome a physician who was problem-solving on my behalf.-Sarah MOLD comes in a lot of different flavors: Fungal, fungal infections, CIRS and mycotoxins. Bioaccumulation can cause you to be sick for years after exposure (20:00) The body should be able to handle mycotoxins. But if your cup of mycotoxins gets to full, you will begin having symptoms. If your detox pathways are already blocked, just a little bit of exposure to mycotoxins can push you over the edge. (21:20) Neurological and hormonal issues are triggered by mycotoxins.   Many people don’t notice symptoms until they start to impact the nervous system. (migraine and light sensitivities) 23:00   CIRS-Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (Dr.Shoemaker put a name to this in the 1990s). A starting agent (exposure, severe stress, auto accidents) puts the process of inflammation into gear (GI distress, chronic pain, respiratory issues, skin issues). Where to start? Ready to start your journey of recovery? Call for an onramp session with Dr. Tessier (30:00)   IEP’s-Indoor Environmental Professionals (some are MOLD illness literate)    Go to ISEAI.org to find an Indoor Environmental Professional. (33:00)   Testing your home-It is complicated. Be ready to have a dialogue with the contractor. Use a “tester” that is different than the contractor who will be “doing” the remediation.    Go to ACAC.org- for additional certified contractors What to look for? Your contractor should come in with TOOLS!  Particle counter, Thermography imaging camera (temperature differences can indicate MOLD), Slide impact vacuum, Hyper Barometer. Ask-Do you door in wall air testing? (40:00) About 25% of patients get better simply from getting out of the moldy environment. (50:00) Favorite forms of  DETOXing-Taking charcoal, sauna, binders, well call (generic available), glutathione. NAC-Everyone should be on this biofilm buster. Good for general lung health. Tolerated better than glutathione.    “I’m in love with NAC”-Dr.Tessier (900mg capsule) “MOLD and Lyme go hand and hand because they BOTH suppress and alter the immune system.”-Dr.Tessier (58:00)   MTHFR (Yes, and….)

About My Guest:   How do you explain your absence from society? How do you explain the lost years?    “I was busy saving my life”-Georgia Wood   Georgia Wood started battling Lyme in highschool while training as an elite skier. After years of confusion, not being heard and ongoing treatments, she now hosts the Blooming With Lyme Podcast where she inspires people “To NOT give up their voices.”    Key Takeaways:   I kept saying to my parents “something is wrong.”   I was trying so hard to be normal. I knew something was up but I couldn’t get anyone’s attention. Don’t lose your voice. If you know something is wrong, keep saying it. A Gamechanger for me was writing a poem to my family that finally broke through. Hearing other people speaking out about their experiences with Lyme helped me to further understand the illness. Removing myself from a toxic living environment was a gamechanger.  I have days where I have to go “MIA” in order to build myself back up.  If you continue to take small steps, they may not seem like much, but they add up.   I run on “sheer willpower.” -Jessica Donaldson   If I find myself going downhill, I learned to turn on comedies. Laughter really is great medicine.    I was tired of hearing doctors say “we will try this and see what happens.”   What did you gain from having Lyme? EMPATHY, EMPATHY, EMPATHY. I have a deep appreciation for being able to move my body or workout. I have learned to appreciate time with people so much more. Lyme takes away so much.    What you are going through is NOT permanent.   Get out and exercise. Find a good counselor who you can trust. I have a good support team (friends, counselor, an understanding family)  Anyone can go to college. Not anyone can FIGHT Lyme disease.    How do you explain your absence from society?

About My Guest:   Jackie Shea-Life, health and business coach.  Key Takeaways: Lyme acted as a catalyst for me to go IN to the darkness and heal it all. Indonesia for ozone treatments, went to Florida for peptide treatments, saw healers, herbal protocols.  Insomnia, hair loss, depression, muscle twitching, joint pain, fibro pain I gave myself over to the spiritual, emotional and physical work.  Casting a wide net of support lightened the load. Give up the illusion that western medicine (alone) will save you. I felt a level of abandonment by doctors. Everything with Lyme is a process...I felt abandoned by medicine, my family, friends who could no longer be friends.  All these identity layers were starting to go away: my looks, my confidence, my brain, my feistiness, my adventurist spirit. What happened is that I had to find my soul, my spirit. Common variable immune deficiency-  Mindset-Moment. I had spent a lot of time just waiting for the illness to be over. So I could “go back” to life as it was.  Two different perceptions of reality:  This illness is an obstacle. This illness is part of my life’s journey.  If you understood the reality that you might be sick for another two years, what would you do differently?   Engage with life in whatever ways you can. (even if it is from your bed)   Victim vs. Ownership (Fault vs. Responsibility) I was the victim of getting bit by a tick. And responsible for everything I did with it. It pushed me to a new level of responsibility and ownership over my life.  You have to take full responsibility for where you are in life so that you can get out of self-pity (victim mentality) so that I could get into gratitude, be present in the moment. So that I could live well while feeling bad. Responsibility and ownership over my life experience. Waiting to be well. Takes away from what your life could be.  Who you once were. Remember, years ago, before getting sick. That person that you are longing to get back too, no longer exists. Saying goodbye to who you used to “identified as” is a grievous process. “We don’t bounce back, we bounce forward.” Confronting your illness is a journey worth taking. People heal differently. A lot of healing from Lyme comes from throwing shit (protocols) against a wall and seeing what sticks. We all heal in different ways and use different tools. You have to try them and see how your body responds.  Healing, was really a journey of self love (self compassion, inner child work, trauma work, gratitude work, meditation, communication) I had to try all sorts of things, and listen to my body, and see what it liked and what it didn’t like.”   I was always trying to have Self-Love, illness made self-love a life and death decision.  If I didn’t learn to love myself (while being sick), I was going to spend the rest of my life being sick and miserable.  Inner Child work: When you do not know how to take care of yourself, ask yourself what the inner child inside you needs. When you are little, you need other people to meet your needs (food, shelter, love, laughter, food). When you are an adult, you need to learn to meet these needs yourself.  You. If I have a need, it is my responsibility to verbalize that. I have to take responsibility for meeting your own needs. Being responsible for meeting your own needs is what saves a relationship. Sick and in a relationship? Taking full responsibility for meeting your own needs. Don’t…. Our own sense of worthiness comes into play multiple times a day. Changing your living space is very impactful (don’t let your surroundings feel bad)  Everything in your view should bring you joy.(get rid of, organize, focus on joy) Find what works for you...infrared sauna, massage, acupuncture, trauma therapy. Be willing to ask for help. Then, be willing to keep asking.  Fear of asking for help...You can ask for as much support as you need. People might say no, that’s ok. The work is not done once you get well. You will not simply go back to normal. You have to practice functioning “well” over and over as new settings present themselves. Healing, rebuilding your life, has been an immense journey.  Rewriting the stories we have unconsciously repeated so that we can fully heal.  Shaman belief: We control 80% of our reality. 20% is….I can do the work I need to do to get well, but we don’t control the outcome.  Illness required me to be 1000% more focused on my life. It calmed me down enough to say this is what I want, and this is what I’m going to go for.

About My Guest:   My battle with Lyme Disease was easily the most difficult experience of my life. A journey that lasted almost 3 years, that included more than 15 doctors, several incorrect diagnoses, and countless days where I wanted to give up. One of the worst parts of my illness, besides my symptoms, was my loss of identity. I am a singer/songwriter. I love my job and everything that comes with it. The traveling, the writing, the performances, and especially interacting with audience members. So much of my life was wrapped up in my job. When I got sick, all of it was taken away. Are you still a writer when you haven’t written anything in years? Are you still a singer if you never sing? I was scared that my illness would take away what made me unique, and what made me proud of myself.   Key Takeaways: “If you are listening to this. You are my HERO because you haven’t given up.” “You are NOT crazy” Finding a community of people who understand Lyme is HUGE! The Garcia Protocol-Chelation and ozone therapy helped save my life I don’t know if I believe in God, but I do believe in chelation!”-Jesse Ruben Generation Lyme is a community of young people battling Lyme disease.https://www.instagram.com/generation_lyme/?hl=en So many people at treatment had positive attitudes, but that wasn’t me. “This sucks, I hate this, my life is over.”  I hated going to bed because I knew I was going to wake up worse. “Lyme takes everything about your life that makes you happy, and takes it away from you.”-Jesse Ruben Besides all the physical aspects, the mental aspect is so hard to deal with.  “Treating people for depression while battling Lyme disease is like washing the dishes as the house burns down.”-Jesse Ruben Loss of identity The fear of coming out of remission is IMMENSE and can last for years. You can’t participate in your own life. “The Sucky-Pit of Lyme”-Jessica Donaldson The chaos of Lyme disease creates lasting PTSD.   “This is just a disease that a shit ton of people have.”-Jesse Ruben “Lyme patients are finding ways to heal; because they HAVE too.”   Educating medical professionals will be a big part of Because you are so isolated because your family and friends think you are crazy.  It is hard to advocate for yourself when you are being told your symptoms are all in your head by medical professionals. Carrying around upset, guilt, frustrations Jesse Ruben wrote “You are not alone anymore” to describe his experience battling Lyme disease. It feels like you’ll never be cured. When each day is worse than before.   I know what it feels like, so you’re not alone anymore.   Years of your life get taken. When everyone who cares is helpless. I know how it is when it (Lyme) doesn’t make sense. Forgive the people in your life who “don’t get it.” Who say things like “You might need to just move on with life.” So many patients are years into treatment and still saying “Something is WRONG”  Life doesn’t go back to the way it was before. The illness changes the trajectory of your life.     Resources Mentioned:  Generation Lyme is a community of young people battling Lyme disease.https://www.instagram.com/generation_lyme/?hl=en  Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv4SpCgsFGA Contact My Guest:  JesseRuben.com Thank you to this week’s sponsors: Tickwarriors.com Safe Insect protection for you your family, pets, and livestock.

Protecting People, Pets & Property from TICKS   About My Guest:   Dr. Jennifer Platt has decades of experience in public health and environmental program development.  She has led the creation of nationally recognized, award-winning education programs and has spoken extensively to audiences of all sizes.    Dr. Platt’s personal experience with tick-borne illness led her to create TickWarriors in 2016, which provides eco-friendly tick protection for people, pets, and property. The pervasive need for education and awareness led Dr. Platt to co-found TBC United in 2018 with Beth Carrison.    Key Takeaways: Non-toxic alternatives to Deet and Permithian.  While working on her doctorate in public health from the University of North Carolina in 2011, Dr. Platt contracted Ehrlichiosis. She was later confirmed to also have Lyme Disease and Babesia. It was an illuminating experience to feels so poor on the inside, and look so normal on the outside. Eco-friendly tick prevention. At the 2019 Liv Lyme Summit...the topic of PREVENTION was forefront. Daily Tick checks-all the soft areas. Throw your clothes in the dryer after being outside.

Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS), an allergy to red meat which can be caused by a tick bite, is life-threatening. Too few health professionals are aware of Alpha-gal Syndrome (or Alpha-gal Allergy) and, as a result, thousands of patients (male and female) remain undiagnosed while suffering from numerous debilitating ailments. The Tick Act-Recently renamed the Kay Hagen Tick Act. The Tick Act got started when Congress made a requirement years ago to have a federal tick-borne disease working group.

About My Guest:   Callie Dixon is a school psychologist, chronic illness blogger, and host of The Chronically Well Podcast wants everyone to know it is possible to live chronically well even while chronically ill. If you’d like to live a healthier life, physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually, welcome to the Chronically Well Podcast where we will discuss how you can thrive in all of these areas, even in the midst of your current pain or struggle.   You may be sick, but you don’t have to live that way, friend. Stop living chronically ill and start living chronically well, today.   Key Takeaways: Can your MINDSET make you well?  Interstitial cystitis (in-tur-STISH-ul sis-TIE-tis) is a chronic condition causing bladder pressure, bladder pain and sometimes pelvic pain. The pain ranges from mild discomfort to severe pain. The condition is a part of a spectrum of diseases known as painful bladder syndrome As a psychologist, I saw that there wasn’t a lot of support available to people after receiving a diagnosis. When you are under stress your sympathetic nervous system comes into play. You will feel physical changes in your body, breathing changes Find 15 minutes a day to do something that you love (writing). “You don’t have to be healed to be healing.” “If I have to be in bed, I’m going to be learning something.”-Sarah Schlichte Sanchez I couldn’t control the physical pain, but there were things I could do (like reading) Victim vs. Badass~So much gets taken from us when we are sick. But a lot of the talk within the chronic illness community. I still deserve a beautiful life, even if I’m sick or in pain. Fighting the panic of a flare-up. I had to start believing that I could get better. I couldn’t get out of the anxiety, or out of the depression until I had hope.”  Finding stories of people who have healed was very helpful. Finding a good functional medicine doctor was a GAMECHANGER. Be aware of the reality that many people battling a longterm chronic illness are wrestling with thoughts of suicide.  Recognize the role you are in with your spouse or caregiver. And understand that those roles ebb and flow. “Being sick taught me how to be Well.”-Callie Dixon Shame comes as you lose your sense of self, your identity. You feel a lot of shame because you don’t connect to people in the same way. When your body is “broken” you tend to judge yourself negatively. There is shame because you aren’t connected to your true self.  Yoga is healing and enables us to reconnect with our bodies.

About My Guest: Kris Newby is an award-winning science writer at Stanford University and the senior producer of the Lyme disease documentary, Under Our Skin, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was a 2010 Oscar semifinalist.  She has two degrees in engineering, a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Utah and a Master’s degree from Stanford University.  Previously, Newby was a technology writer for Apple and other Silicon Valley companies. She lives in Palo Alto. And now…my interview with Kris Newby.   Key Takeaways: Her husband and she both have a personal fight against Lyme after contracting Lyme Disease after a vacation to Martha’s Vineyard Her journey down the “rabbit hole” of Lyme as she researched and filmed Under Our skin.   Lyme disease is often worse for children because of their maturing neurological systems.  Lyme disease can remain dormant for years. It was pretty clear when filming Under Our Skin the documentary that we couldn’t get funding if we went down the route of “conspiracy theories.”  Willie Burderofi  “The NIH knows that this Lyme disease thing is chronic, that it can sometimes remain dormant for 5, 10 or 15 years and it is worse in children.”  “The symptoms in the filed DON’T match what is in the medical literature, something is going on.” I didn’t tell you everything... Lyme research is a shameful affair. All of the money is going to people who know beforehand what the results of the experiments will be before they are done. “It took $60,000, 10 doctors and 1 year to find a diagnosis” The diagnostic barrier-what it takes to get a diagnosis is unacceptable. No one has done a good study on the cost of the disease. Really the lost income because I was completely disabled, is hundreds of thousands of dollars, and who can do that? So many of these people are permanently disabled.”  “I felt like something was sucking the life out of me.”-Sarah Schlichte Sanchez  “No one was going to follow this story to the end.” -Kris Newby “No label=No disability” 29 cents a death Heavy silence “You are trying to keep your mind focused, but you realize what an evil program it was.”   Anyone who has been through Lyme treatment realizes that treatment is often worse than the disease. The medical goldrush-Their isn’t money in the cure for tick-borne illnesses. Blue Cross Blue Shield reported that their most expensive illness was AIDS, with Lyme disease being the 2nd most expensive illness. 1968 outbreak-This is an unnatural vector.

Key Takeaways: I am not my illness. It is ok to say “I’m not ok.”  Understanding the tole of being a caregiver for someone with chronic Lyme disease. Removing toxins from your home-Stink! Choosing the Lyme Stop treatment center. Creating boundaries that heal- It’s ok to say “NO.”  Premaking healthy foods. The power of coffee enemas and detoxing. Acupuncture Parasites-get them out. Stop the tornado of Lyme, then go after the cleanup. The healthy spouse-has to take over the bills, handle the outdoor chores, handle   the inside chores, deal with the rest of life. Unlearning Lyme when you are in remission is an entirely different game.  Dissociation from reality. Until some of the physical pain subsides, you can’t really deal with the emotional pains. When physical pain consumes your mind, you shove aside the energy attached to the emotions you feel moment by moment. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)- “It is hard to describe what it feels like to release something that you didn’t understand was there.”-Ashley Belanger That is one of the heartbreaking things about an illness that attacks your nervous system. In a sense, you disconnect from yourself in ways you weren’t even aware of.    Connect With My Guest: Sarah Schlichte Sanchez - Sanchezsmile@gmail.com   Resources Mentioned: Stink!
