LYME Voice: Recent Episodes
Aaron & Sarah Sanchez Discuss Lyme Disease #FightHealLive
Welcome to the Lyme Voice Podcast!!! I am your host Sarah Schlichte Sanchez and this show is about stories of healing!
Join us as we focus on the complex social and emotional aspects of life with chronic Lyme disease.
We acknowledge the suck-factor of Lyme, it's a heavy topic. But we do it with authenticity and buoyancy in an effort to figure out what works, what doesn't, and how to overcome!
We discuss these realities with authors, MD's, patients, practitioners, and other PHENOMENAL human beings. We address the medical and financial realities that impact households across the globe. While simultaneously finding hope, strategies, and treatment plans.
This accidental journey through the land of chronic illness can be daunting, but you are not alone.
Believe me, when I say that healing is possible! There is a way through. And that people ARE healing in a wide variety of ways.
FightHealLive
- Fighting for your health begins with your MINDSETS.
- Healing begins with the CHOICES you make.
- Living, truly living, and not just existing is the REWARD!
"Your Voice. Our Voice. #LymeVoice"
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!

Advocating for yourself within the realm of an unrecognized illness is an immense challenge. Advocating for yourself as a minor, with an unrecognized illness, when you are dependent on the adults in your life is the topic of today's episode.
Meet Ben S... in addition to navigating adolescence, he faces the daily reality of debilitating GI issues, autoimmune dysfunction, the ebb and flow of chronic Lyme disease, and the continued challenges of finding adequate treatment.
Kids often need ongoing permission, resources, and support to advocate for their health. This is a confusing reality when you add in the mental health issues, Lyme rage, and blackouts that often accompany symptoms of neurological Lyme disease and Neuroborrealis.
Talking Points:
~Fighting multiple autoimmune disorders
~Medical PTSD
~Using medical marijuana as a minor
~Becoming aware of what medications you are taking and why
~Conventional vs. alternative treatments
~Mental health facilities
~When you are "withering away"

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 diseases
Dr. Miles Nichols is a functional medicine doctor specializing in Lyme, mold illness, gut, thyroid, and autoimmunity. After Dr Miles personally struggled with chronic fatigue in his early 20’s, Dr Miles dedicated himself to figure out the root causes. He suffered with and recovered from thyroid dysfunction, autoimmunity, a gut infection, Lyme co-infections, and mold illness.
Dr. Miles and his wife Dr Diane Mueller co-authored “How to Use Your Mind to Heal Your Mold and Lyme” and “Stress Resilience”. They founded the Medicine with Heart functional medicine clinic in Colorado and also the Medicine with Heart Institute that trains other doctors in functional medicine. With a doctorate in oriental medicine, he has extensive training and expertise around herbal medicines and has developed formulations used by functional medicine doctors across the country.

With depth and understanding of both the emotional and biological aspects that impact relationships, Dr. Brad speaks from the heart about the health and toxicity of our most intimate relationships:
-How illness and stress impact our hormone levels. How our beliefs shape our nervous system and how all of this plays out hormonally and sexually.
-We address the topic of Medical PTSD within the context of hormonal realities.
-There is a deep understanding within this episode that I can't fully articulate. It was validating, healing, and hopeful from my side of the microphone and I believe it'll do the same for you.

Today's guest is my co-host Author Suzanne Burden. There is so much depth, insight, tenacity, grace, and hope within this episode. And I'm really proud to bring you authentic truths that can help to shape your healing journey. Suzanne will attest to the hard realities of life with Lyme but also explain how you can simultaneously accept the invitation to restore your life!
"Heroes in myth, literature and real life-take journeys, confront dragons (i.e., problems) and discover the treasure of their true selves." -Carol Pearson
Key Takeaways:
-Learn to be present and in the moment
-Each obstacle we face is an invitation
-Focus on what you can control
-Every time we confront death-in-life, we confront a dragon.
-Life is worth FIGHTING for. Every time we choose life over nonlife ad move deeper into the ongoing discovery of who we are, we bring new life to ourselves and to our culture.
-You develop a "weird flexibility" as you navigate the uncertainties of chronic illnesses.
-The Obstacle Becomes The Way by Ryan Holiday

“Knowledge is power”, and after discovering just how different I was in an EMF-free environment, I felt powerful. It was as if I had been living in black and white my entire life and someone flipped on the color. Discovering that man-made EMFs are actually harmful changed my life.
What are EMFs? Simply put, EMFs or Electromagnetic Frequencies are a form of radiation comprised of four categories:
1. Electric Fields
2. Magnetic Fields
3. Radio Frequencies
4. Dirty Electricity

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. Dr. Brad specializes in resolving Chronic Lyme disease, Candida, & Leaky Gut by being methodically thorough & addressing the entire body at the same time. His approach is to nurture the weakened organ systems back to health, & assist the body to then clear itself of the factors that cause illness. Food intolerance discovery and lifestyle changes are paramount to Dr. Brad’s approach in helping people resolve these chronic problems.
Dr. Brad now works almost exclusively with people virtually. His virtual care has the same results as his in office care. Over 90% of the people he works with are able to restore their health, provided they are disciplined in following instructions.
Greg Peterson, VP of NutriDyn, and one of the biggest promoters of Functional Medicine Education in the Midwest, told Dr. Brad that he was one of the 3 top Doctors in a multi-state area that address & resolve chronic illness. He was recently introduced by Dr. Isaac Jones, president of Health Experts Alliance as a clinical genius.

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 are
By 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.

After spending a decade endlessly searching online to help family members cope with medical conditions. Yael Elish (a core member of the Waze founding team) found that... time and again, other people were the key to discovering the most effective treatments.
An idea was born...StuffThatWorks helps people learn which treatments work best for their condition using smart, AI-based crowdsourcing. You know your condition best. How it feels. What aggravates it. Which treatments work. (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 BETTER
Most 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 CROWDSOURCING
Just 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 WORKS
People 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.

~Choosing to ACT when you have zero motivation.
~What can I do with what I currently have?
~How can you create some level of FREEDOM within the constraints that you have?

~If you are stuck watching Netflix all day, how can you get something out of it?
~NO negative self-talk (be alert to what you say to yourself internally)
~Persistence vs. Perfection
~If you are operating at 60%, congratulate yourself on the 60%.

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.

Sex, Intimacy, and Love are mysterious and fluid aspects of life even within a healthy body and a healthy relationship.
Whether you are parenting a sick child, have a sick spouse, or you yourself are struggling with ever-changing symptoms within your own body. Chronic illness (with all of its losses and lessons) becomes a 3rd party within your intimate relationships.
In this raw and intimate interview, I talk with Reid Richardson, a breakthrough and relationship coach and co-founder of Super-Powered Humans about prioritizing intimacy, overcoming victim mentalities, and operating in your own authority. How does ALL of that relate to your sex life? It does, I promise, tune in!
~Dealing with built-up regret.
~Loss becomes an identity.
~Becoming a better human (not a better man).
~Sex shaming.
~Being conscious about repeating patterns from the past.
~Real bravery. (Sometimes being brave means staying in a relationship, sometimes it means leaving).
~Breaking patterns that no longer serve us physically, financially, emotionally, and sexually. (Get out of your own head)
~Manifestation through orgasm.
~How to live in the moment
About My Guest:
Reid up in a cult and surviving childhood sexual assault. Together, Reid and his wife Jes, helped their four-year-old son overcome Lyme disease after being paralyzed. They have made it through hurricanes and major losses and now, married for 16 years and have 5 incredible kids together.

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. The laboratory specializes in vector-borne diseases, molecular methods of detection of prokaryotes, archaea, protozoans, and fungi. To democratize microbial sequencing technology Dr. Fry founded BioID Genomics, this company provides other microbiology laboratories with kits and software to more easily identify microbes. Dr. Fry enjoys family time and has a private pilot's license, is an avid skier, sailor, and bicyclist.
His scientific interests are in the microbial causation of chronic disease, biofilms, and their treatment. He has had a special clinical interest in CFS, ‘Chronic Lyme Syndrome’, autoimmune and vascular disease. He has lectured nationally and has numerous publications, abstracts, and patents.
Because of these interests, Dr. Fry has worked on new methods for disease detection which have culminated in the development of a Next-Gen Sequencing system for microbial identification.

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 THC
2. Legality/stigma
3. Picking a delivery system (inhaling vs. oral vs. topical...)
4. Finding your dose
Christine 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.

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. Her practice, the Medicine With Heart Clinic, treats those around the country. She also co-owns an online functional medicine school the Medicine With Heart Institute, where she trains clinicians around the world in functional medicine.

In order to truly heal physically, mentally, and emotionally you have to dive in and address something that comes up...your inner critic. When your identity, finances, and relationships change because of trauma, loss, or illness, the inner critic can be the only voice you hear.
Today I talk with Author, Radio Host, and Hypnotherapist Dr. Kelly Rae Brown about:
-Medical PTSD
-Limiting beliefs
-Mental and emotional release techniques
-Finding balance
-And resolving life's issues
Lyme disease can feel like it is driving every decision in your life (and often it is, at least for a time). But within the complexities of treatment protocols and practitioner visits you are left to wrestle with who you are and how you choose (or not) to manage your emotions.
Learn how to trust your heart in new ways while addressing body, mind, and spirit. By the way...you need all three!
Don't miss the segment where Dr. Brown talks about identifying, naming, and embracing her own inner critic* (shadow side) so that she could create a successful life after loss. (Super fascinating and empowering!)

Products like apple cider vinegar or even stevia can kill a Lyme spirochete. So again, why are people so sick? Why is this illness endlessly complicated?
• Let’s talk biofilms, or in official terms, Amino polysaccharide. (10:00)
• 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 (12:00)
• 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 (15:00).
• The Lyme spirochete can also change forms= spirochete form, L form, cyst form.
• Two things that will activate the Lyme spirochete to come out of the biofilm are:
• An event-emotional, physical, spiritual, marital, accidents, or traumatic events.
• Getting reintroduced to a new infection.
• “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.
• If you are healthy, the cells of your heart regenerate every 120 days. You don’t have the heart cells that you had 4 months prior. (25:00)
• Your pancreas is brand new every 30 days, your liver in brand new every 60 days.
• 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.
• The digestive system is one of the fastest regenerative systems in the body. (28:00)
• All body regeneration is between B & B...Blood plasma and Bone.
• Treating symptoms is a band-aid.
• What we do is all-natural. Lasers enhance.
Take the Lyme Cofactor Assessment Quiz -These 632 questions will disclose what systems in your body have gotten beat-up.
Do any of these sound familiar?
• Brain fog?
• Chronic fatigue?
• Anxiety?
• Depression?
• Insomnia?
• Digestive issues?
• Joint and muscle pains?
• Candida?
• Your doctor does not acknowledge your symptoms or concerns, or tells you it’s all in your head?
OR have you been treated for any of these conditions with little or no results?
• MS
• Dementia
• Alzheimer’s
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Chrons Disease
• Tinnitus or balance issues
More importantly, do you deep down inside know you have Lyme but nobody listens?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, we understand how you feel...

"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. The only way out is through-Sarah

- 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.
- Areas of impact provided by the Lyme Warrior Organization
-
- Research
- Funding for patients
- Smile boxes that get mailed to kids battling Lyme

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.

- 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.

- “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)

While studying to become a nurse practitioner at the University of Colorado, Elizabeth Kirt was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, tick-borne illness, multiple chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue syndrome, and toxic mold exposure.
The lack of relief Kirt received from conventional medicine changed the way she viewed disease and medicine. As she began to heal from her illness, she discovered the healing power of herbs, homeopathic, lymphatic drainage, cellular drainage, ozone therapy, and other alternative modalities. Armed with my knowledge and personal experience of healing chronic illness within her own body, she is ready to help lead others down the path of wellness and health.
Key Takeaways:
- Elizabeth walks us through the initial phase of treatment at Integrative Health Colorado which includes testing from Igenex.
- Mycotoxin panel from Real-Time labs.
- Mold and Lyme often go hand and hand.
- Patients are offered a discount off of supplements through Fullscript.com.
- Payment plans are available for some patients who cannot afford treatment. Call 907-457-4481 0r 720-470-9124 for details.
- Disulfiram- Is having good benefits with patients and minimizing the use of antibiotics.
- Detox-Coffee enemas, saunas, detox baths, binders, glutathione.
- Studies show that it takes about 10 years to off-gas a new home.
- “I just want to go on the record and say that life should not be this complicated.”-Sarah

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)

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.”

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)

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.

- 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.

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:

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….)

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.
-

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.
- Value system, I spend my time with people I actually want to be with.I do work that is important to me. my priorities are clearly laid out within my value system. Because I’m not driven by distraction, I can be with myself, I have more self seteem and self love, I’m able to be alone, I’m able to accomplish and focus on the things that really matter to me.

Healing Out Loud Podcast: https://jackieshea.com/podcasts/
We know that the only way out is through but it would help to have a tribe on the journey, right? Somewhere along the way, writing stopped feeling like the most efficient and enjoyable way for me to get this info out there, and creating a podcast dedicated to healing—the feelings, the facts, the options—germinated in my mind. I am in love with producing my podcast. I get to interview people from all over the world who have extensive knowledge around illness and/or wellness and inspire me to live an even richer and fuller life. Each hour-long episode is jam-packed with vulnerability, self-care tools and very practical solutions to heal. I learn so much and grow more inspired after every interview. I love my tribe- Jackie Shea

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.

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. Ticks can survive in water, but HEAT kills.
- Tick Born Conditions United -Education.Research.Advocacy-TBC United is dedicated to the urgent need to provide health care providers, affected patients and their families, and employers with the latest research, science-based knowledge, and innovations to diagnose and treat tick-borne diseases.
- 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. Funding for education, research, medications. It is headed to the Senate soon!

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.

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.

Title: Learning To Draw Strength From Within!
About My Guest:
The microphone gets turned on Sarah Schlichte Sanchez as Jessica Donaldson (our newest co-host) dives deep into the realities of living with chronic Lyme disease from a proactive and comedic perspective.
Key Takeaways:
- The Gerson Therapy
- Choosing to follow a pathway towards healing
- “We’re not faking being sick. We are faking being well.”
- Compartmentalizing the trauma-survival techniques
- Depersonalization-a state in which one's thoughts and feelings seem unreal or not to belong to oneself, or in which one loses all sense of identity.
- Healing is a set of choices, finding a protocol and that suites your intuition
- Most of the treatments that you will need to implement have a very high “suck-factor” associated with them.
- Understand that your lifestyle will need to change to promote your health.
- Conscientiously meeting your own needs is a skill that must be developed
- Shame-When you can’t get better, there is a lot of shame.
- The Lyme-Pit of Despair
- Creating space in my life
- Setting aside time each day to draw strength from within instead of leaning on an external source.
- Suffering leads you to a place where you learn to draw strength from within.
- Dependency on others because of illness leads you to a place where you become very self-reliant.
- Contemplation, evaluation
- I’m unwilling to accept the status quo in any area of my life.
- The suckity-suck bandwagon of figuring out a path towards wellness.
- When the inner timelines in your life get destroyed-how do you transition.
- Doing the next right one thing-use the strength you have to do one right thing.
- Emotional pathways formed in trauma require a remodel of your psyche.
- Our brains have no way of knowing the difference between the emotions of an experience and the actual memory.
- Every battle begins in the mind.
- Identify limiting beliefs and then give yourself grace and freedom to be human.
- “A no-joke journey that takes you to your core”-Sarah
- Learning to trust your body again means understanding what brings you joy.
- “I’m freakin’ Wonderwoman”
- When you are sitting in bed, those are not lost days. So much momentum doesn’t come through hoping and wishing, it comes through direct actions.
- 100 bad days made 100 great stories. 100 great stories make me interesting at parties….and I’m not scared of you anymore.

- Your health is really a journey.
- Accepting the longevity-Reversing chronic health issues requires lots of effort over many months and usually years.
- I’m determined to heal because I’ve seen people who do heal, so I’m willing to do the hard work.
- There are no quick fixes.
- Victim mentality- “I’m not going to feel like a victim because I can’t have gluten. I’m gonna find other things I can enjoy”
- Why is this happening to me? If the voices in your head are negative, you are sending negative energy to all your organs
- 70%-80% of your overall wellness can be contributed to your daily habits.

About My Guest:
Kyle J. Willis is a 26-year-old Nationally Published Fitness Model and Chronic Lyme Disease warrior. In 2011, Kyle was infected with Lyme Disease, a tick-borne illness, in his hometown of Londonderry, New Hampshire. After undergoing 3.5 years of high-dose antibiotic treatment, Kyle made the decision to get off of all medicine and began his healing journey through fitness and nutrition.
Despite suffering from neurological and cardiac complications, Kyle puts his faith in God and continues onward in the Fitness Industry, landing on the cover of Men’s Fitness Magazine and frequently featured in Muscle and Fitness Magazine.
Kyle currently resides in Huntington Beach, California, where you can find him spending time with his wife Madison, working out at Equinox, reading in local coffee shops, and playing golf.
Key Takeaways:
- Life with Lyme is like living in the “Upsidedown” of Stranger Things.
- Having Lyme disease throughout college felt like learning to live with a 200lb weight.
-
Ah-ha moment “If anything is going to change in my life, (no one is going to tie my shoes for me) I’m the one who has to take action”
-
”It was so easy for me to look around and want to be a victim.”
-
Listen to what your body is saying. If you feel good in CA weather, honor your body and what it is telling you. Your Environment is HUGE, make your environment work for you and not against you.
-
Nature can heal your heart.
-
Lyme and chronic illness is a tremendous weight. And when that weight gets removed, you can make exponential gains.
-
Start small-taking small steps towards your health will empower you down the road to take action in new ways.
- Do NOT put your hope in a human being.
- A battle of the mind-Persistence and Resistance are a must.
- Life inevitably will be difficult, it’s super beautiful, but everyone has to face death, illness, loss, and adversity.
-
Everyone has something to teach you
-
“Battling Lyme disease was, and is, and I think always will be, a messy process.”
-
Chronic illness brings you to a place where you have to start asking yourself the deeper questions, what am I doing here? I'm not here just to suffer and die? Who am I and who do I want to be? Then...Write up an actionable plan. START with what you have and begin to create your life.
- Writing up actionable plans-START with what you have https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3OONZ-HGQA&feature=youtu.be
- You can suppress it, (the losses of chronic Lyme) or press into it, and I found that the more you press in, the more juice you are going to get out of it.
- Give yourself permission to have the freedom and find who you truly are.

In this episode, Aaron and Sarah talk about the primary treatments used at Envita Medical for treating neurological Lyme disease. Sarah went to treatment in 2013 for late-stage neurological Lyme disease and Envita saved her life. After being reinfected in 2018 she returned and did a second round of treatment in 2019.
Segment 1 FIGHTING is a mindset!
~Patient Care Coordinators are a vital link between you and all your physicians. They keep tabs on you throughout your entire visit, make sure you are getting to your outside appointments. So many times throughout my years of battling chronic Lyme I would wish that someone could be in charge of me, give me advice, or help me make decisions, that is what the Patient Care Coordinators do for you, it is fantastic.
Click here to see more https://www.envita.com/about
~NMD's-Naturopathic Medical Doctor (integrative) Most of the physicians at Envita are Naturopathic Medical Doctors which is my favorite type of physician because they problem-solve with a wide variety of natural modalities.
~PTSD-I definitely battled PTSD while out at treatment for the 2nd time. It was prepared for the reality that I was leaving my family for 10 weeks and would be living in a hotel. I was even prepared for the intense Mon-Fri treatment schedule, but the emotional weight of being back at treatment, having my life once again be put on hold was and still is immense. I'm honestly still trying to figure it out.
Segment 2-HEALING always consists of choices
~Housing while at Envita Medical
If you fully implement all the protocols (outside) then you should in some way be prepared for it to be all-encompassing...and yet totally boring at the same time
~Ozone therapy
~Bemer PEMF Mat
~Hydrogen Peroxide IV-is an antiviral therapy that is especially helpful for Lyme patients due to co-viral infections. Envita uses a unique formula that is able to pass through the blood-brain barrier
~DMPS Chelation removes heavy metals from the body. Improves your ability to fight infection
~Glutathione push -IRAD is the neurological repair program that completely changed my life back in 2013. This time it didn't disappoint, after the 4th treatment I just felt like I could think on another level, I had a more executive function. The possible benefits of IRAD can be: Deeper delivery of the antibiotics Penetration into the central nervous system via insulin Helps infections that impact the nervous system
- Detoxifies the liver
- Immune Modulator
- Potentiates the antibiotics to kill the infection
For more info on treating late-stage neurological Lyme disease or Lyme disease complex, https://www.envita.com/conditions/lyme-disease
~Ketamine can help with resetting the neurological system, wiping it clean so that the synapsis connections can connect properly, it can be helpful with tremors, insomnia, depression, addiction.
ARTICLE LINKS
Ketamine for chronic pain: risks and benefits
Effects of intravenous ketamine in a patient with post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome
~Exosome treatment-Exosomes are a subtype of membrane vesicle released from the endocytic compartment of live cells. They play an important role in endogenous cell-to-cell communication. Previously shown to be capable of traversing biological barriers and to naturally transport functional nucleic acids between cells, they potentially represent a novel and exciting drug delivery vehicle for the field of gene therapy. Existing delivery vehicles are limited by concerns regarding their safety, toxicity, and efficacy. In contrast, exosomes, as a natural cell-derived nanocarrier, are immunologically inert if purified from a compatible cell source and possess an intrinsic ability to cross biological barriers. Already utilized in a number of clinical trials, exosomes appear to be well-tolerated, even following repeat administration

Segment 3-LIVE
~Environment is HUGE
~Support system is HUGE (if you don't have this, if you are surrounded by toxic people who can't or won't support you, find new people, start there) This is not your fault but it is your responsibility.

- Little Bite, BIG TROUBLE, available on Amazon -Children’s book about Lyme disease
So, you or a loved one has (or thinks they have) Lyme disease. Now what? This book was written to answer just that question, and to serve as a starting point for those inflicted with Lyme (Borreliosis) and/or its co-infections such as Babesia and Bartonella. The book will also provide family, friends, and caregivers a unique perspective into what being ill with Lyme and/or its co-infections can feel like, and an insight into understanding the diseases better. It is hoped that after reading this book, that they can start their Lyme journey with you. A background of Lyme disease and its co-infections, their transmission, tips for preventing infection, steps for tick removal, a listing of symptoms, testing preparation, and approaches, as well as potential treatment options are all covered. Methods of immune support and detox, what to eat and not to eat, and what it is like living with Lyme and/or its co-infections are also included, along with a listing of useful resources, a symptoms tracker, details of the bands of the Western blot, and infographics summarizing the major points of the book. Lyme and its co-infections will change you and those around you, and it can be a very long journey if not treated early. Diagnosis is just the beginning!

In this episode, Sarah and Aaron give an emotional update on their own journey back to treatment at Envita Medical. Based on the Netflix documentary HEAL....join them as they discuss:
9 Acts Of RESILIENCE (interwoven with personal examples and lessons learned)
What is fascinating is that only 2 of the 9 are physical acts, like treatment or supplements. The other 7 Acts Of Resilience are all about MINDSET based decisions that may seem simple on the surface, but really do unlock unseen areas of healing for people across the globe.
- Radically changing your diet. 2. Using herbs and supplements. (3-9 Address Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual acts of defiance) 3. Follow your intuition-Trust your self and don't deny what is happening! 4. Take control of your health-Exercising 5. Releasing your suppressed emotions-ART training, Acknowledgment and then control. 6. Increasing Positive emotions- Or limit negative emotions. 7. Embracing emotional support-This can be deeply embarrassing. 8. Deepening your spiritual connection 9. Having a strong reason to experience/live life.

In this episode you will learn:
- Enneagrams-A framework-A developmental map for understanding the world and how it works. But also how to understand our personalities.
- Found to be one of the most powerful systems for transformation.
- Recognizing habitualized ways of thinking and being.
- Emotions are a reactive and outward reaction to what is going on.
- Feelings are the internal chemical and neurological reactions that are connected to the body. You can be “highly emotional” and have no idea what you are actually feeling internally.
- It takes 15 seconds to imprint something positive onto our psyche. Negative feelings imprint immediately, it is easy to dismiss the good feelings and hold onto the negative ones. Don’t do that anymore:)
- Heart-Gives you the ability to relate. Take the pulse of the room, the energy within with an awareness of the energy of others. It gives you the ability to feel fast, without thinking deeply.
Do you know the difference between your feelings and your emotions? Is there a difference? Does it really matter? Well, it does. Here’s why, if you don’t want to be controlled by negative feelings. Or maybe a chronic illness is controlling a vast amount of your time, energy and money and you need to find a healthy way to deal with ongoing losses, grief, and PTSD. Whatever the reason for your attunement into this subject of emotional intelligence, awareness, and overcoming trauma, you will not be disappointed. Because Christy Kennedy lays out a path towards understanding your internal centers of intelligence that are accessible to everyone through the Head, Heart, and Gut. So back to my original question, can you articulate the difference between feelings and emotions? So glad you asked! For starters, FEELINGS are internal and EMOTIONS are external. Your thoughts create your feelings and your feelings create your emotions. Your feelings are the internal chemical and neurological reactions that are connected to the body. And your emotions are the external expression of those feelings. The cart before the horse. Or said another way, your thoughts trigger a feeling, and that feeling causes emotion and those emotions often unconsciously drive our external mood and behaviors. That is why you can be “highly emotional” and have no idea what you are actually feeling internally. Kennedy shares with us in this interview her personal recovery story through cancer and the meditative practice she uses daily. You can’t create a new reality or say a healthy reality (since that is what we are all going for over here) by holding onto the negative emotions of your past. That is like driving around town with your right foot on the gas and your left foot on the brakes. It is a terrible use of energy and very ineffective.

Taking control of your health just got a little easier. And in the world of chronic Lyme disease, every piece of the puzzle is important in managing the craziness of symptoms, medications, and endless appointments. I invited Jordan Ray to share her journey through Chiari Malformation a Serious Neurological Disorder in which the brain tissue extends into the spinal canal, changing the trajectory of her life at 17 years old. Through her surgery and ongoing recovery, she battles extreme migraines and ongoing health complications, but she also channeled that trauma into creating what I think is a phenomenal tool for tracking your medical life in an organized and beneficial way. In this episode you will learn:
- The value of tracking your symptoms for records and diagnosis
- Overcoming short term memory loss through record keeping
- Overcoming the shame of being broken
- When dedication is no longer enough because your body has changed
- Not blaming yourself for your illness
- Managing symptoms and appointments
- Winning the mental battle is moment by moment, thought by thought

Welcome Ya’ll! I’m Jessica Donaldson, Lyme Southern Belle.
In this episode we talk about:
- Losing hope (Orphan) and finding your inner Warrior
- Trust vs hope
- The reality of suicide in the Lyme community

- Writing as therapy
I'm searching for the words to try to explain my journey fighting Lyme Disease and all that go along with this life-altering diagnosis.
In 2013 I was diagnosed with late stage neurological Lyme disease. The tests showed that I was undiagnosed for over 7 years. The crazy thing is that Lyme can mimic and even cause Lymphoma so all those years I spent treating something that was caused by my Lyme disease, but allowed the root disease to spread and damage my own body over those years.
I’m not one to back down. I beat Lyme Disease once. So, as far as I can tell I have the undefeated record… NOT Lyme Disease.
In the meantime, I want to raise awareness about this disease and what it truly does to someone. I have started working with several Lyme Awareness Non-Profit Organizations. And I cannot wait to see what all we can accomplish TOGETHER to help the suffering in our Lyme Disease, Chronic Pain and Chronic Illness communities. I hope this blog inspires you to explore new mindsets, healing tools and more than anything…I hope that this is that beacon of light in the distance letting you know that you are not alone, and that it does get better.Feel free to leave a comment or follow me on social media!

Sex and intimacy is a hard topic within the chronic illness realm. I talk with fellow blogger and advocate Leandra Peters about how she navigated her sex life while also battling chronic pain, symptoms and treatment. Things become far more complex when you are battling the physical, emotional, and financial challenges that come with chronic Lyme disease
- Your body image changes when you are sick.
- How to be with someone sexually when you don't feel like yourself.
- Loosing your "sex appeal" (mentally)
- Feeling like you aren't doing your part to maintain intimacy because being present is almost impossible at times.
- "It's a battle" you have to fight in order to maintain a sex life.
- Create a boundary for intimacy, by implementing a Room-Date!Even if you can't have sex, you can create intimacy!
- Communication is KEY. Talk through what you both need and want.
- It won't be forever, it is a season that passes.

What is Kangen Water®?
Kangen creates Alkalized and Antioxidant rich water from your own tap water!
It does this with NO chemicals so it is ideal for people with chemical sensitivities. It is also ideal for people like myself who do not want the fluoride and chlorine for health related issues. This water has changed the way we do almost everything around the house. I use this alkaline and antioxidant rich water to extend the life of my produce, chemical free skin care routine, cleaning, hair care along with colonics and enemas.
While getting treated for late stage neurological Lyme I was introduced to Kangen water. I was surprised to learn that two of my physicians also used Kangen machines in their homes. This made a further impact on my desire to know more about the benefits of water that was filled with antioxidants.

Electro-Dermal Screening (EDS) is a pain-free, non-invasive method of checking for the frequencies of pathogens in body systems and organs. Using the Meridian Testing Points on the hands, the certified technician measures electrical resistance along the nerve pathways much like an EKG measures the electrical activity of the heart. Further testing reveals frequencies that correspond to pathogens responsible for the resistance, for example, bacteria, viruses, fungus, chemicals, metals, radiation, etc. Once the pathogens are identified, quality natural/whole food supplements and homeopathic remedies are suggested to target pathogens while strengthening and supporting weak systems. EDS is also used to monitor and analyze progress throughout the treatment period.

How to get funding for Lyme disease treatment is one of the most commonly asked questions that we get here at LymeVoice. That is an enormous question with many pieces to the puzzle. But Recycle For Lyme is providing real dollars for Lyme patients so that they can afford treatment. While battling Lyme disease Stephanie Winning created a way for people to turn their trash into treatment. Since people battling Lyme disease often have an endless amount of supplements that they are going through, this program is a perfect and easy way to help fund treatments for other Lyme patients who are in crises. Collect and ship at NO COST TO YOU to fund grants for Lyme patients. It’s that simple! Collect at least 2 lbs. of ONLY
- glass vitamin and supplement bottles
- plastic vitamin and supplement bottles
- vitamin and supplement bottle lids
- vitamin and supplement flexible packaging
from ANY brand manufacturer.
Every pound donated earns one dollar to fund grants for Lyme patients in crisis!

Talking Points: -Words are the most powerful force in the universe. -Your words either build a bridge to where you want to be, or create a prison to keep you where you are at. -A key to unlocking the power of positive self-talk, is to stop the negative self-talk. -Shift your focus off the problem and onto the solution. -Your ATTITUDE shapes your actions. (Speaking positive affirmations changes your attitude, thus changes your reality) Levels Of Self-Talk Level 1- I can’t (self-defeating) -I can’t, I wish, I couldn’t Level 2-Beguiling (self-condemnation) -recognizes a problem but creates no solutions. Level 3-Recognition + decision (proactive) -Speak as though you already have it. Level 4-The better you! Example: -Instead of saying "I’m in too much pain to do that.” I now say "I can’t wait to be able to do that with you," or "someday soon I’m going to do that with you.” Sponsored by Envita Medical:Envita Medical
Christina Glowac had a unique perspective as a social worker when her body mysteriously began to go downhill from Lyme disease...join her FREE online groups to learn meal planning and exercise routines specific for Lyme patients...
Talking points: -Anxiety, why Lyme can get labeled as anxiety when "nothing" shows up on blood work. -Mental health, how to handle a lack of knowledge about Lyme within the mental health profession. -Naturopath, embracing the idea of seeing a naturopath even if that seems weird at first. -Diagnosis, getting a Lyme diagnosis is both deeply relieving and completely terrifying. -Be determined to find the cause. Fighting is a Mindset: -This is a body thing (infection), and not just a brain thing (anxiety/depression). -Try and find a good therapist who you can talk with. Healing consists of Choices: -Find people who have had success in healing from Lyme. -Shift your self-talk from negative (I’ll never get better) to positive self-talk (I can’t wait to be able to walk again). -It is a journey, antibiotics alone will not heal you. -Shifting your self-talk to the positive. Just being aware of those negative thought patterns is a starting point. Living is the Outcome: -Practice MINDFULNESS -Detox is key, Epsom salt baths, dry brushing, castor oil packs, exercise -Let go of fear and focus on HOPE. Contacts/Links:

The Science of Fasting
Believe Me: My Battle with the Invisible Disability of Lyme Disease
www.youtube.com/Lyme Voice Radio
Growing up in a small Maine town, young Merry Lynch understood early on that she was destined for greatness…and adversity. Learning the power of focus and determination from her father, she was inspired, as well, by such greats as Zig Ziglar, Wayne W. Dyer, and Charles “Tremendous” Jones. Merry had no idea at the time how much one of those connections would impact her life down the road.
Jumping into a promising retail career with Neiman Marcus, she wasted no time rising to the top of the pack. Merry learned from great mentors and was on a path to success – until the storms of life rolled in and battered her. A nasty divorce at home, charges of kidnapping, and sexual assault at work hit her like giant body blows, nearly taking her down for the count. Everything she had loved and built had been taken away… just like that. Hurt and dazed, Merry started off on her own, desperate to rebuild the life that she had begun. Then, one day, a phone call came that would change everything.
Hired on to launch a new product for a stationery company, Merry traveled across the country, rallying ninety-five sales reps and recording unbelievable results. That company was later sold and Merry was ready for her next challenge… her own store. She opened Papier Gourmet in 1996, providing the finest quality products and services for enhancing the writing experience.
Merry excelled at her craft, and quickly became an etiquette authority. She also began to rack up an impressive list of high-profile clients, including President George W. Bush, Deepak Chopra, and many others. Merry learned early on in her career to never burn any bridges. This lesson served her well when her past employer referred her to a Dutch company. But standing out from her many talents, it was her dining skills that would land her next big gig.
That dining etiquette so impressed a company from the Netherlands that they hired her on to represent them in the US. That meal was ultimately worth one million dollars. Merry was in her element. Eventually, feeling it was time to expand her own business, she and her husband traveled to Poland, his birthplace, to start a new Papier Gourmet. Merry was seeing success in every business she touched. But what happened next would challenge her very identity.
A client had approached and offered to buy her Maine store, which shook Merry to her core. The deal went through and soon after Merry and her husband travelled back to Poland. A few months later the managing partners of her European store bought her out as well. Though overjoyed with the success of the stores, she found herself wondering what her purpose was in life. Merry set out searching for the next chapter to unfold.
Merry knew that she needed to seek some guidance. With both parents now gone Merry did not know where to turn. She felt the urge to contact someone from her past but wasn’t sure who or why. Though nervous and scared, she went for it and made the call. A few weeks later, she was in the office of none other than Charles “Tremendous” Jones. Her time with him was surreal and life-changing, just as she imagined it might be. In the end, he told her that she was born to lead and was surrounded by people waiting to be led. “So,” he had said, “when are you going to begin leading?” His words moved her deeply and the timing of their meeting was incredible, as Charles would pass away several months later. Merry was the last person he met with.
She went on from there and found work training managers of a luxury retailer. She realized that she had been leading others her whole life but never really realized it. Everything she touched was turning to gold and she began to grow in her leadership skills by becoming certified as a Behavioral Analyst and as an Emotional Intelligence facilitator and trainer. She was in her element of teaching, motivating and instilling a sense of purpose in others. Then one day, the lights went out.
Suddenly, Merry’s body began to stop working. Trouble walking, thinking, talking…. She tried to rest more but things just got worse. Visiting one doctor after another, none of them could find an answer. As great as things had been before, she found herself struggling to just want to live. It was a scary time. Then, one day, she found a new doctor who was able to do some tests and found that Merry was dealing with late stage Lyme disease also known as Chronic Lyme Disease. It was good to have it identified, but her body was continuing to shut down. The fear associated with Chronic Lyme Disease was becoming a constant companion and Merry wasn’t sure if she’d make it through. She needed a miracle…. And that’s just what happened.
Merry and her husband heard of a treatment for Lyme Disease in Poland and although illegal in the US they decided to give it a try. It took three months in total, but in the weeks that followed, she began to see big changes. Walking, conversing, healing. It was in this time that Merry had to learn to fight for her life and what she believed in, to lead herself… to choose life.
She and her husband ended up selling all that they had and began travelling, learning from Merry’s experience with Lyme Disease that each day is precious. Life certainly hadn’t turned out the way that she had imagined, but Merry still believes her Lyme Disease had been a gift. She had gone from being full of fear to becoming fearless.
Today, Merry, guides women in transition to transformation; from dis-ease to well-being where they learn to successfully navigate life to find passion and purpose through self-discovery and self-care. Connecting the dots with mind, body and spirit in learning, living and thriving through trauma or illness. Merry’s signature Core Confidence programs and Confidence In A Can products will take you from where you are to discovering where you want to go and grow. By uncovering your “WHY” and designing the image of your life you will be able to step with grace and ease into the life of your dreams.

Dr. Shelly Gruenig talks about her most important role as a mom. And how as a family they have supported their teenager with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. -What kind of physician are you seeing, can they diagnose and treat? If you want to get better, you have to see physicians who can walk you down that path towards wellness -One of the things that I hear from parents who are trying to help their teens is that it looks like depression. Talking Points:
- Knowing when to advocating for them. But also empowering them to become independent.
- Addiction vs. Dependency-Helping teens deal with chronic pain.
- Becoming a coach and encouraging them.
- Teens have to decide for themselves what they are willing to implement.

Aaron Sanchez and Adam Getty talk through the logistics and complexities of family and finances when you are battling Lyme disease and more specifically, chronic Lyme. And what they would have done differently...
- When do you need to act on behalf of your spouse?
- In order to become a caregiver-you end up dropping something else, homes, jobs, etc.
- What I would have done differently.
- Acknowledging that things are not getting better, and start learning new skills: laundry, grocery shopping, meal planning, family finance.
- You can’t “work” your way out of Lyme and raising kids.
- The healthy spouse is often very disconnected from everyone.
- Balancing all the responsibilities.
- Neither of you are thinking clearly. (Lose-lose decisions)
- You are juggling all these plates-you are balancing and surviving, barely, if you pick up one more thing, something gets dropped, sometimes it is fear based (more worry), sometimes you have to short sale your house, so that plate breaks.
The Longevity of Lyme requires transformation: * Reinvent yourself * Give up hobbies * Communicating through the symptoms * Recognizing that this is serious * Financial, physical and emotional crises * G5t- * How beliefs affect your journey * Getting a long term perspective. * evaluating your own mental health * (compassion fatigue) * Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud-Hanging out with positive people, blocking people who are negative. * Developing a narrow focus to survive * Adam and Heather Getty.com

There is so much evidence on the destructive nature of concussions.
- The movie “Concussion” shows the long-term effects of living with brain damage.
Lyme-brain or brain-fog is real and bears similarities to concussions. This episode was born out of the often tearful conversation between two brain damaged individuals. Both who were once confident and capable. After two different types of traumatic brain injuries, they were left to figure out the realities of life with brain damage. Stephanie was the only other person in my life who understood the complexities, longevities, and frustrations of living below your full potential. For her, I was the only one who could sympathize with the confusion and complexity of trying to navigate the demands of life, while also shackled with short term memory loss, anxiety and the confusion associated with most traumatic brain injuries. We both struggle with: ~working memory ~cognitive function Cognitive impairments: Can include changes in thinking and reasoning skill and diminished learning ability. Varying degrees of problems may exist in long- and short term memory, attention, concentration, and communication skills, planning, problem-solving and abstract reasoning, including Emotional and behavioral impairments Executive Function: The ability to organize thoughts and work, to create plans and successfully execute them, to manage the administrative functions of one’s life. With diminished ability to create strategies, to handle more than one task at a time, to be effective, reliable, and productive, the simplest job may be too challenging. DYSFUNCTION-Making sense of the dysfunction ~(Even fun things are stressful) -eye doctor ANXIETY- ~inadequacies ~shortcomings ~disabilities ~losses EMOTIONS- Understand how your body deals with emotions. ~Failure to adapt ~Maladaptive stress disorder ~Cognitive function ~Executive function INVISIBLE- Out of sight, out of mind. Vision is one of our 5 senses. We live in a world based on visual perceptions. ~You have so little to show for the magnitude of effort you have put forth TRANSITIONS- Transitions are hard and even harder to articulate. They are hard to experience, hard to articulate the stress you feel while doing basic tasks, and the people around you don’t understand your struggle.

Lyme Madness by Author and Psychotherapist Lori Dennis It has been said that Lyme patients are victimized in three ways. Once by the disease, twice by the doctor and a third time by family and friends who roll their eyes and walk away. We dive into that reality with Lori Dennis who has an incredibly unique perspective on Lyme. As a professional she has patients who have chronic illnesses. But she also has the perspective of being a Mother to an adult son who has Lyme. As a professional she has seen the chaos, expense and longevity of Lyme disease and Lyme disease complex. The reality is that in addition to fighting the illness, you are fighting socially, emotionally, and financially. ~Lyme is a "Do it yourself disease" ~Lyme feels like: Flu + Anxiety attack=Life with Lyme ~Lyme causes a variety of mental issues: Insomnia Anxiety Depression ~Understanding Your Losses: Careers Self Care Independence Relationships Opportunities Finances ~Healing: A personal journey that requires emotional strength. Meditation Yoga/Exercise Talking it out ~Book References: ~Man’s search for meaning by V. Frankle ~Change Your Brain, Change Your Life by Daniel G. Amen ~Lyme Madness by Lori Dennis ~Little Bite, BIG Trouble by Sarah Schlichte Sanchez Bio: Lori Dennis, MA, RP, and author of LYME MADNESS, is a Registered Psychotherapist in private practice in Toronto, Canada. Ever since her adult son fell ill in the fall of 2012, her only focus has been to help him get well. Little did she know at the start of this medical odyssey just how deep and unending this rabbit hole would be. While helping her son navigate his medical journey from “no answers” to continued recovery, she was determined to write this book to help others navigate this long and arduous path from illness to wellness—the overwhelming and complicated trek that comes with having chronic Lyme disease. She was also determined to provide a platform for other Lyme sufferers to have their voices heard in an effort to end the madness. A madness where millions are suffering around the globe while mainstream medicine continues to turn its back on the sick and infirm.

Season 2 Episode 2 Title: Life with Lyme- Stephen and Heather Grooters turn the microphone onto Aaron and Sarah in this special episode. These are the conversations you wish you could have with someone who understands what you are going through, the effort you have put forth and the obstacles you face. If you are living with chronic fatigue, chronic pain or fibromyalgia, this is the show for you. After 21 years of chronic illness these candid conversations are the ones few people get to have. Why? Because the longevity of Lyme disease is complex and unfathomable to many people. They don't get it. Healthy people don't have to choose between groceries or medications. I spent years going to different doctors or physicians and they look at the symptoms. On LymeVoice, we look at the social and emotional issues that plague people with chronic illnesses. These emotional losses rarely get dealt with as you fight for your health, because you are in survival-mode. It has been said that Lyme is a do-it yourself disease, we agree. Join us as we go deeper into articulating the losses, so that we can continue to heal, and simultaneously empower others to keep fighting. FIGHTING is a mindset. HEALING consists of choices. LIVING is the outcome. Don't just exist....Fight.Heal.Live -See the other side of Lyme, through the eyes of the healthy spouse. -The Longevity of Lyme Sponsored by Envita Medical-"The clinic that gave me back my life"-Sarah https://www.envita.com/ To see your new documentary “Disappearing From Society, join our newsletter and it will be emailed to you on June 1st! http://lymevoice.com/contact/ Little Bite, BIG Trouble https://www.amazon.com/Little-Bite-BIG-Trouble-Birds-Eye/dp/0692599819/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495728719&sr=8-1&keywords=little+bite+big+trouble
Lyme Voice Radio is back Baby! We have a sponsor and have great speakers lined up to talk about the physical, spiritual, financial and emotional aspects of healing from Lyme, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, fibromyalgia and every other unwanted symptom. This season we will dive deeper into healing and restoring wholeness to our lives.
We created a short documentary called "Disappearing From Society." The Director (Makenzie Gruenig), Writer and Producer (Sarah Schlichte Sanchez), and drone operator (Ryan Clark) have all battled multiple years of chronic illnesses. Including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and Lyme. This unique dynamic created a film that oozes with compassion and understanding. Two of the individuals featured in this film are prior guests on Lyme Voice, Heather and Stephen Grooters! I know that much of what they say will resonate with you all. It is focused on the emotional side of chronic illness, you will hear statements like:
"Pain that never made sense and felt like it was sucking the life out of me"
"My soul would beg for mercy from an illness with no no name"
"Because who I am, isn't here"
"I don't want my kids to remember me as being good at sleeping"
"Well you don't look sick"

Janice am a 41 year old married, mother of 2. I discovered I had LYME disease about 3 years ago when I crashed against a wall HARD. I apparently had the slow workings of Lyme for over a decade because I gave everything I had to both my kids in the womb. They had been sick since birth and we had no idea what was going on with them. So in discovering my LYME, we figured out the kids had it too -- actually we all had borellia, babesia, bartonella, West Nile Virus, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, micoplasma and parasites. It has been a hard road, one that almost took my life as I hovered under 85 lbs, but it is one that has taught us all great life lessons and strengthened our faith. In my life before LYME, I was a marketing/researcher. Now that I'm climbing out of the hole, God has compelled me to gather information about healing LYME and distribute it to those it can help.

Bhavani Esapathi the genius behind Chronically Driven, winner of the Wired Creative Hack Awards 2015, for creative solutions in social health talks about rising above limitations with chronic disorders, Crohn's for her, to live life the way it should be live with Aaron and Sarah in LymeVoice 024th episode. She is a Fellow of The Royal Society for the Arts and a TedX Speaker, an accomplished writer and an active participant with innovations on everything digital while doing some work on cultural management & communications for the past 5 years. Crohn's is an incurable chronic autoimmune disorder with hard hard-hitting symptoms that patients have to put up with, just as Bhavani had for as long as she can remember. Adding to the confusions caused by debilitating chronic issues since childhood she was being repeatedly told she’s not supposed to have Crohns because she is Asian, when she finally decided to find her correct diagnosis using every resource available to her. The adversities she had faced in her quest for her diagnosis and treatment, she knows were not hers alone and she is aware that these adversities have solutions. Finding these solutions and providing easy access to them to people with invisible chronic conditions became her advocacy, she had rallied the limitations Crohn's has delivered to her and had risen above them to become an accomplished writer, motivational speaker and chronic disabilities resource person for those who want success despite debilitating chronic issues.
What’s In This Episode Fight Her Health Issues Continuously Bhavani had a lively and colorful childhood with her loving family, despite being protected too much and slowed down by illness. Her past chronic experiences with her unnamed illness fortified rather than take away from her feistiness. She was always a dreamer, and she envisions a world where people don’t have to suffer unnecessarily under nameless ills because Doctors and other health professionals don’t or won’t take their symptoms at face value. She has to fight for her health and she also has to fight for acceptance of her sickness by other people which should not be the case. Her parents always believe in her and their positive upbringing had propelled her to accomplish her success milestones and brought her to where she is now, still with her health issues and more.
Heal - Finding A Point Being given enough space and not interfering with what she wants to do had made her evolved into herself gradually and in her own pace, and it let her found her footing. She believed what her parents had told her that she is special and she’s going to become great and that made finding healing easy for her. People believing she can rise above her limitations and not justify every task or move she does are inspiring her to go on and find a better self.
Live Proactively While Learning To Hustle Within A New Normal Chronically Driven her website was conceptualized as a form of catharsis not only for her but also for a lot of other people. It is designed as a unique platform where people who are willing to share their stories can come and tell narratives of their plight with different invisible chronic conditions to inform people or to provide support to those who are also suffering. It’s been a year since her website was up and she can actually see her objectives being realized because different people respond to her positively when they found her website. She knows she can empower herself and others too in finding healing by restructuring their life around their limitations which she has done and continue to do while dealing with different issues as they come up. Sometimes her issues work in her favor, giving her additional advantage and inspire her (in her words) to hustle and that’s what she’s working so hard to impart. She invites everybody to tell their stories with one of her favorite life’s quote “Those who tell stories, rule the society” – Plato.

Matthew McSpadden is LymeVoice.com’s 023 Podcast Episode’s guest. The big hearted man behind DoOverLife with Grief talks with Sarah and Aaron about overcoming grief, his grief that at one time had him contained in a tight spot, which made him feel helpless and totally lost. He was thankful for that particular grief though, and for it to had come at that particular period. It made him what he is today; stronger, wiser and more warmhearted towards those who matter in his life and he is loving the kind of person he has become. His grief was caused by traumas which made him a fighter and he thinks it made him a socially appropriate person too. His experience made him discover that saying the right words at the right time can mean so much in nudging a person to acknowledge or rather to recognize their grief, support their healing process and affirm them in their recovery. It made him magnanimous with words of encouragement and he is working hard on bringing that to a worthier level with his up and coming Episode Podcasts at DOOVERLIFE. He was a Math teacher in a Public School and his grief and traumas had impacted his profession greatly. He lost it, together with a few of his dreams. However he is making sure by working hard on his ongoing overcoming grief mission that he wins what he had lost back.
What’s in this episode:
Matthew’s Griefs - Gaining Disability, Losing Disability
Matthew’s trauma was not caused by disease and not by Lyme at any length, but by physical and emotional misfortunes; the physical one was unintentional; a near fatal stroke 2 years after he lost his brother while he was playing football. And then after that he faced another one. It was an emotional trauma that could have been the end result of the underlying physical distresses he was experiencing at that time caused by his stroke. His divorce at a very young age was a major emotional upheaval which made everything cave in for him. He lost all interest with everything that’s going on around him and in his life.
Like any person who had gone through grief Matt had also fallen into the throes of depression. Not the suicidal type, but more of the “I lost interest with anything that’s going on in my life” kind. There were so much going on inside him, physically, emotionally and psychologically that he found small talk at gatherings of friends or family distasteful. What he badly wanted then to hear were some sympathetic words that will help him to properly place everything into context or label his confusions. But it were not so.
Then something woke him up from his stupor and made him reach out to his loved ones. It was in kind an indirect plea for help. He was glad those people in his life who had remained by his side all through his ordeal were mindful enough of his welfare. They promptly acted and had saved him from totally going over. He was glad it was not too late when final realization came. That no one is going to help him get out from the hellhole he was slowly burrowing into but himself. There was a kind of trigger occurrence that brought about that most opportune jolt. It partially ended his FIGHT story.
Learning To Rise Above His Grief
Everything happened for some reasons and, he had recovered and had risen up from the morass for a few reasons of his own too. And he knows just as traumas and grief differ in severity and causes; reasons for healing and recovering from grief and trauma also varies. He is for people to seek what can make them fight and seek out healing themselves because what works with somebody might not work with them at all. His was reading self-help books, and it reinforced what he personally know. That not everybody could rise above situations all by themselves, they need help. He wants to share some personally learned insights on how; like seek a dream support team and then ultimately find their key to happiness. People or a person that can become the light that will subdue all the darkness slowly encasing them.
And that’s the entirety of what he wants to impart, to those who are fully capable of providing help. Be available for loved ones who are going through traumas; physical, emotional and psychological. Be there not to give advice and reassurances that everything is okay but to listen and inspire grieving persons to fight and become totally positive in everything. Spark their interest to find a way in every interaction to become positive; be it a one on one encounter or with a crowd. And definitely they to will make it through the storm, just as he himself find his HEAL.
Those without your pain rarely understand your goals.
Mike Murdock
Proactive approaches to healing; physically and psychologically. For emotionally he had already found his solace, the reason that ended his feeling of loss. He found a new love and that’s what’s inspiring him to continue what he had started and LIVE his kind of new normal. There are still moments he can lose track of his thoughts and ideas when writing but he can follow his thoughts easily when he speaks. He was frustrated when he lost control of his brain and don’t know the reasons why. He is relentless in finding ways to recoup what he had lost by his stroke, but he also know he has limitations.
His website is what occupies most of his days today and one of the main reasons that stimulates him to fight some more. He has found out that a podcast can be the proper venue for his newfound talent, to replace the one he had lost. He has found additional people to add to his dream team through his podcast endeavors. The ones he know he can count on to come to his rescue when he is slipping. And all these good things and positive force he found, he wants to also impact other depressed persons’ lives. He wants to empower grieving people to be strong enough to share their stories. And provide opportunity to their loved ones and other people close to them to get a glimpse of their inner turmoil. So these people can be a constant anchor for them just like Matt’s dream team.
He plans to elaborate on his story, with a book he is thingking of publishing. And he wants to impart what he had learned with his ordeal in dealing with grief through his coaching offer at his website. “Keep listening to podcasts like LymeVoice because it’s in that listening that we can become powerful again.” was Matthew’s parting shot as this episode is closing. Today he continues living and finding happiness within his kind of normal and he still has interesting anecdotes to share about his LIVE story. He is leaving us a favorite Quote, the one that inspires him every day:
Win the day!

Sarah and Aaron get together with Cara Gael in this Lyme Voice’s 22nd podcast episode. Cara Gael is an incredible young woman, she has an amazing attitude towards her chronic condition, exceptional for most young persons her age, especially those who continually live a life with chronic illness. She tells her stories and encourage others to tell their stories via her podcast site. Cara Gael is an artist, health advocate, and freelance marketing professional who lived and experience complex chronic illness for a total of 20 baffling years, before she finally found her appropriate diagnosis. Her story is the usual story of most people with chronic illness and that is years and years of struggle within the healthcare system trying to find a diagnosis rightly befitting symptoms, agonizing over many misdiagnoses and losing many constructive opportunities along the way. Her firsthand knowledge of the importance of patient experience, made her want to give the patients the ability to communicate their opinions in conversations about healthcare that customarily rarely take account of the Real Sick People. She’s one of those who has a natural awesome Fight.Heal.Live view in life.
What’s in this episode:
Getting on Disability, Losing Disability
Cara has been finally diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Hypermobility Type, a year ago. This is a hereditary connective tissue disorder that affects how a person’s body produces collagen. Despite her painful, hypermobile joints that sometimes partially and fully dislocate, widespread soft tissue and nerve pain, chronic daily headaches, and moderate to severe chronic fatigue. And a few other number of secondary conditions that affect her autonomic nervous system, immune system, and heart. She has a very sunny attitude towards life in general and life with chronic illness in particular.
Lyme Disease was the trigger that pointed her and one of the doctors she went to for consultation to what’s really wrong with her, more or less a year ago. Hearing her talk about her illness one would wonder why she’s so vibrant and her suffering all those debilitating symptoms almost every second of her life. She recounts her story in such a fun way that makes her endearing and she can become an awesome inspiration for chronically ill people. Her almost half of her lifetime disability was lost when her illness was finally named. That’s the time when she felt she’s finally won the battle, after she didn’t quit fighting in finding her diagnosis. Her Fight story.
Learning To Function Within A New Normal
As a patient who struggled for 20 years with complex chronic illness before finding her major diagnosis, she had enough experience in her sleeve inspiring her to share in her podcasts about her life of living with chronic illness and disability. She’s doing it partly, “to give others living with illness the opportunity to talk about their experiences.” She’s not claiming that she’s a doctor, and she’s honestly admitting she has no medical training, and she’s categorically placing importance on these and for people to know that. She has a whole page in her website devoted to her narrative of the fact that she’s not a medical professional, and possess only anecdotal experience and painstaking research. She empathically advise everybody to at least consult doctors first for despite the considerable medical knowledge that she’s assimilated along the way, she cannot diagnose, treat, or cure anybody. She’s vividly aware that any illness or sickness can’t be treated by "easy cures” and "quick fixes".
Her day is determined by the degree of how alive or active she feels in the morning. She has her own spoon diagram of Christine Miserandino’s “Spoon Theory” in her website to explain how she allocates her supply of spoon for a day. Each chronic illness sufferer has different kinds of day and chronic life, each can draw their own budgetary diagram of their spoons. Like what Cara has done to make her Live story as easy as she can.
She’s advocating for all patients with chronic illness to not shy away from taking the reins and driving their lives. She knows nobody could help chronic illness patients find their new normal more than they could. When they realize and accept that fact then they can begin their emotional healing, accepting that nothing can prevent you from having some life overruns sometimes. She is inspired by a quote from a song lyric by Guns and Roses of a line from their song November Rain.
"Nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain."

Aaron Sanchez https://www.facebook.com/aaron.sanchez.9480111?fref=ts
Dr. Shawn Naylor is with Aaron and Sarah Sanchez, this is Lyme Voice Radio’s 21st Episode. Dr Naylor as a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine talks about Lyme Disease and the different revolutionary approaches of Lyme disease treatment he uses within his practice. As a clinical preceptor for Rocky Vista College of Osteopathic Medicine his Sound Clinic is dedicated to treating patients with Lyme and other chronic illness through an innovative approach focused on resolving the proposition that health, balance, and well-being is a natural human state. The ultimate goal is to analyze the root causes of the disruptions and eventually guide patients experiencing chronic issues back to health. Influences of A.T Still, MD and Deitrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD play great roles in Dr Naylor’s practice of Osteopathy Medicine; Dr. Still’s the body has the ability to heal itself given the right conditions and Dr Klinghardt’s Applied Kinesiology with Autonomic Response Testing (ART). Dr Naylor through Sound Clinic dish out a complete Lyme Fighting, Healing and Living progression not only by totally establishing the derivative causes of the chronic symptoms but also in steamrolling entailed financial burdens which he acknowledge that many patients find challenging when dealing with Lyme.
“A sound mind, sound advice, sound moral values.”
Sound Clinic
What’s in this episode:
-
Fight – Dr Naylor talked about passion, passion for eradicating underlying issues is the key mobilization drive for Doctors who make Lyme disease treatment the main focus of their practices. A lot of Doctors who advocate for Lyme disease have not experience Lyme infection in their lives and still they believe in the toxicity of Chronic Lyme Illness. They never went through all the debilitating symptoms but still they advocate research and exploration of new methods for diagnosis and treatments of Lyme disease. However having gone through a Lyme infection will greatly help Doctors treat Lyme infection more aggressively. Their fore-knowledge of the degree of the debilitating pain will provide them the stimulus to pinpoint the onset of Lyme symptoms seriously. They know that in order to get rid of Lyme you have to possess the kind of attitude that says Lyme is not going to get me. Fight with a sound mind, for a sound mind can get you to places.
-
Heal - Dr Shawn Naylor and his staff are a just a small force behind many Lyme advocate groups. Dr. Naylor admitted though that he had been through what folks with Lyme have to live through because he too had Lyme. He believes that patients have to possess the same passion as their doctor has for living, for them to effectively fight and rise against Lyme disease. A positive and go-getter attitude can play a commendable part in making patients get diagnosis for Lyme and rid themselves of all the debilitating symptoms of Lyme early on. Patients have to fight not only the symptoms but also fight for their insurance coverage sometimes making the battle for healing too weary for some. As discussed with other guests before Lyme disease drain patients physically, emotionally, psychologically and financially. He, through his Sound Clinic try to alleviate impacts by coming up with innovative ways to help patient cope with the enormity of the resulting Lyme issues. He advocates open-handed approach when handing in informative answers for insurance coverage for a lot of insurance companies are not well informed about the enormity of Chronic Illness thus limiting coverage. Patients have individual Lyme issues influenced by the unique structure of their individual immune systems and every one of them don’t have to undergo the same treatment rules his treatment methods. Individualized approach is what he advocate for and patients’ attitude are the ones that will determine how long or how short that treatment is going to be. Listen to sound advice it may have something that’s worth seeing.
-
Live – Listen to what your body is telling you. Healing is not instantaneous so patients have to move slowly through their recovery. Don’t be in too much of a hurry because one little gain entails a lot of repercussion if you become too confident your health is normal again and overdo things. It’s easy to overdo things unconsciously then you may lost the ground you’ve already covered and be back where you started off. Help of loved ones in presenting a solid help support to the patient while taking breaks in between caregiving to avoid burn out. Both should be watchful of becoming too co-dependent with each other the caregiver of being needed and the patient of being cared for. Sometimes trauma can trigger chronic Lyme and bang an infected person goes through the worse Lyme symptoms. Nevertheless the world is changing now with regards to Lyme testing and treatments syncing with technology so parameters and methodology used before in treating Lyme patients are slowly turning for the better. Dr Naylor advocates for patients to always possess a substantial character with sound moral values then the possibility of getting waylaid from the right path is lessened.
-
Proactive approaches to getting Lyme testing to a new level where people who complain of going through apparent Lyme symptoms should be tested for Lyme immediately. The longer the period of gestation a person with Lyme disease is allowed to undergo it’s harder for the patient to recover. Dr Naylor is active in getting the word out there; to the legislators and researchers, letting them know the widespread scope Lyme infection has claimed today. Those states which was declared Lyme free before are now showing signs they are becoming Lyme hot beds and those old data are now defunct. They got Lyme disease in there and it’s getting lethal. He is also proactive in seeking alternative treatments for each patient in connection with a patient’s financial capability and he channels his efforts into his cause “Integrating Conventional and Alternative Approach to Healthcare”. He believes that individuals have different capacities and he’s willing to listen and fit them into one of the variations. He’s after getting patients healed and not in getting patients into medical indebtedness. Information is everybody’s business and it’s very easy to get hold of information nowadays. Be informed and be proactive in seeking out information and facts then you may advocate for yourself when faced with disbelieving people especially a disbelieving doctor.

"I think I came out of the womb wanting to make the world a better place.”
Noelle Janka
This simple quote simply sums up Noelle. She was 15 years old when she launched her first grassroots campaign. She’s made extensive progress with the causes she’s passionate about. Several more recent successful campaigns includes her participation with an effort to increase federal auto fuel efficiency standards; another one was the first campaign to elect President Barack Obama. She was the first board president of the Boston Cyclists Union for a year and a half, guiding the group and masterminding the group's internship and volunteer training programs. Today, Noelle has another way of showing her open-handed support to others who are aiming to become social change leaders through coaching, mentoring and consulting. As a trained life coach she’s pursuing certification from the Academy for Coaching Excellence.
What’s in this episode: Getting disability, losing disability: Noelle had her first symptoms when she was 16 years old and in high school. Like many Lyme folks she had been through the road of misdiagnosis and ceaseless symptoms until her Mom took matters into her hands and decided to put her foot down on getting Noelle tested for Lyme in New York. After she’s diagnosed she went in search for help, relief and solutions. Which she found and then she had been in remission for 1 year where she’s back to feeling and living normally until a traumatic biking accident triggered her symptoms. The trauma caused her symptoms to escalate and extend, symptoms that can still pain her until today. Although she’s found ways to manage her symptoms they still act up all of a sudden making her less functional and not capable of lucid tasks on some days.
Finding flexible work: She had come to a point in her career and life where she has finally acknowledged she is sick and told everybody at home and at work that she’s sick. She had dabbled in a number of jobs until she was offered a managerial position after a series of short term jobs, and when they knew what’s actually happening to her, what she’s going through, they made an arrangement for her to work a flexible schedule around her sickness. Despite all the leeway given to her she came to a point where she admitted that’s it’s not really working and she quit work. That’s when she found her coach. A Yoga Coach and through attending this very helpful Yoga Class helped her got her focus back.
Learning to function within a new normal: With all the solutions they found to help manage her symptoms she acknowledged to herself that she need to come up with something to help Lyme sufferers like herself. A community that’s different from the ones already existing. With so much suffering there are a lot of people who don’t know where to get help and just suffer their symptoms in silence. She’s decided to share what she knows about Lyme and symptoms management protocols via a consulting website under her name and another website with a name that stir impetus for living, empowering healing from Lyme. All the help she got while healing, she wants to pay forward and that is the cause that she wants to promote in her website. She want to provide Lyme folks with a healing vision.

Get To Thrive
In this episode is the second part of Aaron and Sarah’s interview with The Next Door Entrepreneur. And in this second interview their focus is on the financial perspective of being sick with Lyme or with any other chronic illness. Specifically, earning money to spend on getting well.
Episode Outline
Lauryn
Lauryn talked in detail about her other business, aside from Oliver Poons; the children’s story books. With this she created as solution to financial complications, caused by Lyme and other chronic illness. A Different Kind of Work is a job platform for those that will not be able to survive the rigors of traditional workplace.
The Next Door Entrepreneur
Her umbrella venture The Next Door Entrepreneur encompasses all her 3 businesses. The idea for The Next Door Entrepreneur sprouts from her and her Mom Lois’ observation that there are a lot of people in their immediate neighborhood that are in the same predicament as they are that may need some help starting over. They also may be in need for someone to counsel them for they don’t know what to do and who to ask for help with all their physical difficulties and financial troubles. Lauryn’s efforts go towards helping others survive Lyme and other chronic illness with the help of others who are under the same pressure. All endeavors are aimed towards bringing these different individuals into one community for mutual sharing of ideas and resources.
A Different Kind of Work
Oliver Poons was born out of Lauryn’s Lyme distresses; A Different Kind of Work was born out of her and her mother’s combined marginal physical health. Her mother Lois also recently experienced a challenging life changing circumstance, after having an accident resulting to her leg being severely broken. Out of the turmoil their lives are in Lois and Lauryn have put their mind and physical resources together to come up with their A Different Kind of Work website.
Differentwork.org was created for individuals who may be looking for supplementary part time work in addition to their to their traditional jobs to add-on a little extra to their income, stay-at-home caregivers who can maybe chip in some tasks for those who need a little help while sick, or those who wish to explore the road to entrepreneurship who don’t know where to start and who to ask help from to realize their objectives. Lauryn desires to provide an easy atmosphere for people to connect. Ribbon Star Press
Lauryn describe her publishing creation as “Ribbon Star Press offers consulting services as well as publishing services to authors of multiple genres. Ribbon Star Press seeks manuscripts that align with the Next Door Creations brand and aims to deliver an uplifting experience to readers through all of its publications.”
She self-published her very first children’s book under Ribbon Star Press!
“In closing I just like to stress to everybody out there that there is hope. I know it is a difficult journey but, to just stay positive and they will find those little things everyday that may seem mundane, may not seem that exciting, but you know find something that’s exciting, that makes you excited everyday. For me it happened to be my silly little cat. Find something that really makes you smile and work from there and feel free to reach out to me if there’s anyway that I can be of help.”

Lauryn Wendus of Lauryn, The Next Door Entrepreneur is with Aaron and Sarah and in this episode they talked about how Lauryn had lived through her Lyme illness and about the financial success she is able to accomplish in the midst of her personal struggle with Lyme.
Lyme had impacted Lauryn’s life at her early 20s, 23 to be exact. And she is definitely an inspiration, for in the face of of her personal perceptions of being moderately incapacitated by her Lyme symptoms during the most debilitating period of her illness; she was still able to take control of her life and her career. She had come to terms with the truth that if she wishes her life to amount to something in her condition she has to make somewhat positive all the huge negativity that is slowly encompassing her. She is a fighter and she is not going to let Lyme drag her down into dependency. She turned her perceived physical weaknesses into something positive. Into a get-up-and-go stimulus to make herself successful in ways her now constrained physical stamina, which is being weakened by Lyme allows her to. Instead of letting Lyme take over her life and pin her down, she used her recovery time to assess her life and what’s left in it. She knows she is capable of many things so she picked up her act which had managed to get strewn about and resolved to not let Lyme cut off her wings.
“She really embodies the spirit of Fight.Heal.Live in the sense of recognizing that in some capacity life is not gonna go forward as it used to and then proactively taking stuffs to take care of herself.”
Sarah
Aaron and Sarah identify themselves in Lauryn. That’s why they made sure their fortuitous meeting via Twitter will give them the break they need to make Lauryn’s story one of their Lyme Voice’s Episode Podcast. The three of them acknowledge they had been through the same Fight.Heal journey and are now on the same boat riding out the tumultuous passage of their Live journey. Together they will make Lauryn’s Lyme story a Lyme Voice’s story.
Episode Outline
Intro
Aaron and Sarah talk about their recent week, a large week for them because Sarah was able to enjoy her younger brother’s wedding. A large week indeed, for Sarah was able to coherently enjoy the event unlike her younger sister’s wedding before which she had attended with a third voice in her head telling her not to make her weakness show all the time. People with Lyme have lots of internal issues that nobody sees outwardly. They may appear okay on the outside but actually they’re not. They all agree they had been through this feeling before, and honestly acknowledged the fact that there were times they had to somehow fight the battle on their own, because nobody can perceive that they are slowly withering inside, grasping for the straws dangling at the periphery of existence for energy is slowly ebbing out from them without anyone noticing.
Lauryn’s
Hers is a classic story of a life with an undiagnosed Lyme illness. Lauryn tells how she as an ambitious young 23 years old, at that time enjoying her financial corporate career, suddenly feels some weakening stamina and foggy mental awareness. The symptoms come and go and at first, and she didn’t know she has Lyme. She’s never had all the characteristic symptoms connected to Lyme before her diagnosis. No bull’s eye rash, nothing, so at first Lyme was not the suspected diagnosis. She was misdiagnosed with Lymphoma because of the swollen lymph nodes and some misleading blood works.
She had gone through the same conditions that other patients with Lyme had experienced despite being devoid of the usual Lyme disease flags. So it came as a surprise to her and her family, her Lyme disease diagnosis. But she didn’t give up she decided to face her symptoms head-on. She went through almost the same Fight journey with Sarah; that sudden feeling of being overly fatigued all of a sudden, swollen lymph nodes and all. But it was the blurry visions one day when she was driving to work which jolted her to finally acknowledge something was definitely wrong.
She speaks of her journey to self-realization which she was able to finally create in her mind. While lying down in bed bogged down by the different symptoms she was undergoing, of making something with her life with Lyme. And from her education too, to earn what she needs to be able to live because a life with Lyme is a high cost existence. That was the point of acceptance for her, when she told herself okay if you can’t get rid of Lyme how about creating a life with Lyme, her Fight Lyme Story. The biggest part of which was focused on gaining back her mental coherence, of backing backwards before she can go forward, a very humbling experience for her.
“After trying basic part-time work but still unable to sustain the required schedule without my condition deteriorating, I was left with few options.”
Lauryn
She has an interesting start as an entrepreneur. Her Heal Lyme Story. Although she studied about business and its subjects in college and was able to graduate with a degree in business, the basics of being an entrepreneur were not taught to them at school. So she had to grope in the dark how to and what kind of business she is going to have, because she knew then, that she can no longer work in a normal corporate environment.
During those moments of soul and mind searching the idea of publishing her scribbled works had not occurred to her. Her story writing talent was not an actuality at that time. It came as an accident and had started when her Lyme symptoms altered her so much mentally she started writing with her left hand though she was right handed her entire life before that. The novelty of her left handed writing ability had amazed her so much she was scribbling in a notebook, children stories inspired by Oliver the cat who was her constant companion while she lay in bed so much.
But then in retrospection she recognized the potential and so she took the power of the internet into her hands and she tried to find answers. She started her business broke and with the help of her mother, because Lyme has taken over the bulk of her finances. She detailed how she used creating a business as her Heal motivation and she recounts all the interesting events during the start of her entrepreneurial career. She shares her Fight.Heal.Live Lyme story with the hope to be able to give people who are living lives with Lyme just like her and Sarah, that there is indeed life after or with Lyme. She wants to convey assurance that definitely you’re going to get better from a Lyme illness and definitely Lyme disease exists. She was able to figure this all out during the past 3 years, the total span of her entire life with Lyme so far.
As an entrepreneur she’s created 3 businesses which are connected to her live your life with Lyme “After all, if I can do it, so can you.” cause:
- The Oliver Poons Children’s Brand: Happy, whimsical, rhyming children’s stories and accessories.
- A Different Kind of Work: A website to help people find, share, and combine their skills to create new job opportunities outside of the traditional job market.
- Ribbon Star Press: Consulting and publishing services to help new authors make their dreams of publishing a reality.
“As it is often stated, change is the only constant in life. Life is full of twists and turns, and circumstances that seem set in stone can become nonexistent at a moment’s notice. The name Next Door Creations was inspired by the idea that no matter how things may seem in life, it’s important to always have faith that the next door of opportunity will present itself. Whether the “next door” is a spark of the imagination, an event you attend, or a person you meet, something, somehow, will always appear, and the opportunity to seize a new path will emerge. From there are infinite possibilities; endless ways to create something new.”

Kathy Ferguson, CEO of Medical Debt Resolutions Consulting is with Aaron and Sarah for Lyme Voice’s Episode 17. She is a financial patient advocate who helps people in their fight with insurance companies on getting their medical bills paid yet they still continue to receive mysterious bills after the fact that their insurance company tell them their medical bills are already paid. Start your healing journey completely free from financial concerns for a recovering sick person doesn’t need the additional psychological stress from chronically mounting medical bills. Kathy is the expert to help you begin your healing from chronic medical bills.
This episode with Kathy is not about physical illnesses and issues; chronic or fleeting, because Kathy is another kind of “Specialist” she’s going to help put the puzzle pieces of medical finance into place. She’s a medical billing and collection specialist committed in finding solutions to issues faced by a lot of people with chronic medical bills debts; the existing or on-progress ones and old medical bills debts. Kathy Ferguson is not only offering assistance in resolving medical patient bill problems to the Lyme Voice community and to people living in Albuquerque where she has her residence but to all the people across America who need help in resolving medical debts. She is able to make her service widely available, for she has all the support of 20 years of experience she’s had the opportunity of accruing being involved in medical billing. She is fueling her expertise and energy into resolving these issues to help the people of America get rid of the looming menace of bankruptcy caused by accumulating medical bills debts.
Episode Outline Aaron and Sarah was attending Sarah’s Presentation to a group of about 100 and 50 people for their up and coming Fight.Heal.Live branch of Lyme Voice, and Kathy heard what Sarah and Aaron are trying to do. She came up to Sarah and Aaron and introduced herself and talked to them about her financial expertise and her advocacies in helping people resolve their accumulating medical bills. Aaron and Sarah were excited to establish a connection with Kathy because of their long history of medical bills over the course of Sarah’s illness. Their experience of thousands and thousands of medical bills which had left them a little bit crippled financially, they know can be a lot worse for other people than it had been for them.
From Kathy’s research she’s found out that mounting medical bills are the most likely cause of many personal bankruptcies across America. She sees medical expense as a pain that never stops being a pain. And she wants to make that pain go away, not only for a small bunch of American people but for all American people as much as possible. She’s an auditor and she’s a dedicated detailed research and results oriented person who never stops until she is able to find all the mistakes in daily medical bills that in reality count as one of the very high dollar expense in the United States.
“It is unfortunate that the patient is always the one that this is dumped on and I am always saying that it pains till it hurts.” Kathy
In view of her above quoted sentiments Kathy try to find ways to resolve all medical bill debts, she does a complete audit of all the billing, and look for all the mistakes she can find and then she goes to the medical service provider and/or to the insurance company to get the mistakes fixed. There are instances that when the bill debt is quite old or has been going on for a considerable period of time, medical providers write them off. She just remind all the patient or the family; she has the opportunity to be in work with to always make payments, even how small, if $5 are all you can afford then go ahead pay the $5 dollars. It is much easier for her to ask medical providers to review medical debts when consistent payment were made because it tells the providers that the patients really want to pay the debts, you just can’t afford it. She’s done it around the country already and she says she’s good with any kind of illness except Mental Health. Mental Health has lots of restrictions because of the affordable care act.
She knows that “Medical bills are often inaccurate due to incorrect data, over charging and computer errors. Yet most misbilled items go unchallenged. She’s willing to assist with inaccurate medical bills that many have possibly incurred.” She educate patients on how to best ask the doctors and medical providers informative questions so they know what they have to basically deal with in the first place. Be there when they fill out forms for patient information to coincide the superbill with the medical health provider and the insurance company. You have to know everything they put in the form so you can ask sensible questions later when the insurance company shortlist your bill when they pay. She recounted a recent success story in significantly reducing a cancer patient’s bill to $18.65, and she jokingly told them at the health insurance company that she’s not happy with the $18.65; she wants the bill zero if that is possible.
Aaron, Sarah and Kathy have agreed they have something common to work with. Lyme Voice at this stage has added another resource help to their Lyme Voice followers, and Kathy is enthusiastic of the possibility of collaboration.
Kathy offers free 30 minutes consultation, to assess whether help in resolving your medical bill debt is possible. If it is not possible she tells you directly that there’s nothing she can do to resolve your medical bills problems, wherever you are in the Country. And for every probable case she asks a retainer fee of $500 for 5 hours of her service. Usually it takes only 5 hours to get down to the basics and get the ball rolling. She started volunteering her services for free but she realized she want a business that will help people so she started Medical Debt Resolutions Consulting.

Sarah's parents talk openly about how Lyme has effected their family over the last two years and on into the future. How families can help someone suffering. And the ongoing help and support that many people need to recover from the debalitating symptoms. Chronic Lyme has both short and longterm effects on households and families. From getting a diagnosis, finding adequate care, and financial obstacles. These ramifications often include extended families participation. We discuss the ebb and flow of illness and the effects on family life, kids, and parents. Families face the struggles of providing financially for multiple family members who are ill.

Episode 15 Alexis Ayala
This is an interesting Episode with the husband and wife duo of Intuitive Design Studios ( http://www.studioids.com/#!meet-the-team/c1og2 ) Alexis Ayala Jr. and Patricia “Patty” Ayala; who are both being brave while trying to cope with chronic illness and loving their kids the best way possible for them. They don’t have Lyme disease, what they have are another types of chronic illness which have more or the same symptoms and issues as Lyme’s.
“They’re so cool, they’re so connected with their kids, they’re so positive in the face of so much loss and that’s hard to find.” Aaron
The couple are so open to talk about what they and their family go through everyday and had been through in the past with their illness.
“One of the things that we’ve noticed, especially from interviewing people and from just our lives in general, in time of crisis your family will either come together or just blow apart.” Alexis
Episode Outlines
Patricia “Patty” Ayala in their Dear Friends & Family Show ( http://www.lovethefam.com/ ) About Page has this brief summary description of herself;
“Patricia Ayala was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2012 after having a hysterectomy. At 6 weeks, post surgery, she was so tired and in excruciating pain all over. According to doctors, that was the trauma that forced her to live every day with constant ache and break through pain. However, this is not something Patty let’s get in her way. She encounters each day with a fresh start, working to improve their family’s lives. Her husband, Lex, and their three beautiful children are the center of her world.”
And Alexis Ayala Jr. has this brief description summary for himself;
“ Alexis “Lex” Ayala was diagnosed with Small Fiber Neuropathy in 2014, many months after collapsing in his metal fabrication shop. It has been a long journey filled with horrible pain, muscle spasms, and a lot of not knowing what to do next. However, Lex is not the kind of guy that can just lie in bed all day. So, he and his wife, Patty, created ID Studios and began giving a voice to his illness through “Dear Friends & Family.” This has become more than just a show to them, as they bring you amazing stories of experience, empowerment, and hope.”
They have been through a lot and had tried lots of medications just to find something to help make a little of the debilitating pain go away. They talked about trying medical marijuana against all that they believed in and have faced and gotten through the stigma attached to this revolutionary medication. They’ve been through the path many chronic illness casualties have been through in their search for what can help heal them. At one point they even called in a Reike Healer ( http://www.reiki.org/ ). They have a very interesting Fight Heal and Live story and is currently still on the path of recouping their lives by building their careers on the foundation of their talents; the best stuffs that they can effortlessly do and love to do, that they call their new normal.
"If you're not enjoying what you're doing why are you doing it? I live life to enjoy it not to be beat up by it."

“I will persist until I achieve.”

From my heart to yours: This song was deeply encouraging to me this week. May you find strength, courage and hope in it at as well….~Sarah Schlichte Sanchez https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b2M93tjzF0 Though You Slay Me (featuring John Piper) by Shane and Shane. ~"Not only is all your affliction momentary, not only is all your affliction light, in comparison to eternity, and the glory there, but all of it is totally meaningful. Every millisecond of your pain from the fallen nature or fallen man, every millisecond of your misery in the path of obedience, is producing a peculiar glory you will get because of that. I don’t care if it is cancer or criticism, I don’t care if it was slander or sickness it wasn’t meaningless, its doing something. Its not meaningless. Of course you can’t see what it’s doing. Don’t look to what is seen, when your mom dies, when your kid dies, when you got cancer at 40, when a car careens into a sidewalk and takes her out, don’t say “That’s meaningless.” It’s not. It’s working for you an eternal weight of glory. Therefore, therefore, do not lose heart. But take these truths and day by day focus on them. Preach them to yourself every morning. Get alone with God and preach his word into your mind until your heart sings with confidence that you are new and cared for.”-John Piper

"I don't know how to be with you because my body constantly hurts"-Anonymous research patient Compassion Fatigue-"You are listening and taking in that pain. Their is no way that you as a loving and caring person aren't absorbing some of that, with the hope that if I just listen enough they will get over that, and that's not going to happen. Your giving will be impacted. "As the years went on we just couldn't keep up with our community." -Sarah "As the illness seeps in and literally takes away who you are, I didn't feel like I had anything to give.

Philosophy In today's world we are exposed to more and more toxic chemicals and additives in our food supply, the air we breathe and the water we drink. Over time, these chemicals and toxins accumulate in our body tissues and, if not removed, can lead to more serious health problems. Through colonics you can assist your body in removing toxic waste out of the colon. This also reduces the toxic burden on our liver, kidney, blood stream and lymphatic systems. Colonics are not just for those with serious health concerns; they are an amazing tool for the prevention of

- flu,
- allergies,

Join us a Phil explains the sense of desperation that exists in many homes as they try to manage everyday tasks. Many people take for granted the ability to walk out of their home and go to work. Because people suffering from Lyme disease have very little control over how they feel, they are often unable to complete basic tasks around the house or in caring for their kiddos. You live in chaos because you never know when the pain will further immobilize you. Nor do you know when or if your fatigue levels will escalate into the unbearable category. Oh yeah; and while all this is going on, you also need to maintain your marriage?

Hello, my name is Mackay Rippey. I started my acupuncture training in 1989 at the Traditional Acupuncture Institute and graduated with a master’s degree in acupuncture in 1992. As a 5-element acupuncturist I am carefully trained to understand the laws of nature, to diagnose in accordance with those laws and to work therapeutically to restore balance and harmony. By restoring internal harmony of body, mind and spirit, your body is able to cure the deep cause of the disease and not just silence the symptoms. If you have any questions, e-mail me at mackay@mackayrippey.com. 5-element acupuncture: my patients swear by it, and at it. Let’s get the bad news out of the way up front. Acupuncture is not painless. Every so often, my patients will even use some colorful language. More surprising, however, is they will tell me to try again when they don’t feel a good jolt of qi (qi is the Chinese term for energy). My patients know that the one acupuncture point, needled at precisely the right spot, will have better results than a dozen carelessly placed needles. Now that you know the “bad news” go ahead and make yourself a cup of green tea, relax, and have a look around my website. You'll find a lot of good information about acupuncture. After you look around, schedule a consultation and come see what 5-element acupuncture can do for you. Meet the Acupuncturist Hello, my name is Mackay Rippey.

Parenting and managing a household are often challenging for healthy parents. Join us as we talk with the Gamache household about trying to keep up with life within the “vortex of loss and grief” that often accompanies chronic Lyme. Lyme is referred to as the great imitator. It mimics the symptoms of over 250 diseases. Often, prolonging the diagnosis phase for years. The fatigue and pain many people suffer from makes simple household tasks almost impossible to keep up with. But life insists on moving forward even if our bodies don’t. Their are nuggets of wisdom throughout this conversation that may provide you with one piece to your health puzzle.
As I watched the man at the ER writhe in pain, I was deeply envious. His pain had an identity. The nurse was informing him how to prep him surgery and they were flooding his system with pain meds that would make the next few hours fly by. Tomorrow it would be all over for him and he would be back at work in a few days. I was not so lucky. Even though my pain was just as extreme and preventing me from basic tasks. I would receive no meds, no hope, no plan. They were dismissing me once again. They tell you that once again they can't find anything on your blood work, they suggest that you reduce your stress levels, and wait to see a specialist. This scene played out several times a year. It was heart breaking, you no longer have a life, you exist from one appointment to the next.
The problem is that people who are living with chronic pain think that they are patients. They are not. A patient has something wrong that is being treated, attacked, fixed or repaired. A plan exists to restore that patient to a person, and allow them to move on with life.
If, you are continually using the ER to treat your chronic symptoms, it is time to start taking a broader approach. Instead of viewing yourself as a patient, try viewing yourself as a coach. You are the coach and the professionals you entrust your body too are your players. As the coach you need to assess the skills and strengths of each professional, and utilize those strengths for the overall good of the team, a.k.a your health.
It is up to you to organize the team. It is often costly both in time and resources, but someone must be in charge. Many insurance companies have nurses and medical social workers who can come alongside you to help you create a coaching strategy based on the effort and resources you are willing to commit. You have to fight for your health. Without it, much of life will be off limits to you...
