Read MoreWell, I am officially into my 100 Day Stem Cell Recalibration period! A lot of people have been asking me if I feel better or if I am cured, and the short answer is NO, but don’t let that answer scare you! Stem Cells are not an overnight fix or cure for Lyme Disease. As with all Lyme Treatments, I am going to feel worse before I feel better. The Stem Cells also do not specifically treat or kill Lyme, so the answer may confuse people as to how they are going to help me.

Read MoreI am back from getting Stem Cells at Infusio in Frankfurt! Overall the entire process was pretty amazing. I am really glad I went to Germany for my Stem Cells. Everything went smoothly, was easy and not stressful at all. It was also a nice perk to have a little bit of a vacation. I got to do some sightseeing mixed in with my treatments and cash in some of my travel awards I have been accumulating as I pay for my Lyme Treatments.

Read MoreI completed the last 7 days of my Stem Cell Treatments at Infusio Frankfurt. It was pretty cool to do half my treatments in Beverly Hills and half in Frankfurt. The clinic is beautiful. It feels like you are at a spa and the entire experience is very relaxing.

Read MoreI know a lot of you are wondering how I was feeling pre-Stem Cells and what treatments I have done pre-Stem Cells. I am working on a post that covers my previous treatments and protocols but in the meantime, I want to share what symptoms I am still dealing with. I have come a long way from my original list of symptoms before I started treating Lyme, but still have some stubborn issues going on.

Read MoreStem Cells are the next big step in my treatments and I am hoping one of the last. Overall I feel 50-60% better most days. My remaining symptoms are mostly in my brain. Brain fog, memory issues, focus, cognitive issues and neurological issues. I also still struggle with fatigue, tiring very easy, massive food allergies and Autoimmune Conditions that were triggered on because of Lyme. Thymus Therapy did help a lot with my energy, but it has dipped post cavitation surgery so I am hoping once I am fully recovered from surgery my energy will go back to where it was pre-surgery or better.

Read MoreFour years ago today my life changed forever from a bug the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Many of you know that I have struggled greatly with my health in that time due to Lyme Disease. For two years doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me and why my health was rapidly decaying. I have now been in very intense treatments for just over two years and feel 80% better most days.

Read MoreIt has been almost a week since my Cavitation Surgery last Thursday. I am not going to lie, it has been an intense week.
The recovery overall has been much harder then I had anticipated. I went into the surgery feeling pretty strong. Overall I have been feeling 80% better, especially thanks to Thymus Therapy. I know that this feeling of being set back is temporary as I recover from the actual surgery, but its still frustrating.

Surgery is probably one of the last things you think of for Lyme treatment, but unfortunately it can be a key piece in recovery. I am going to be having cavitaition surgery on Thursday, and honestly I am not looking forward to it one bit.

I had the opportunity to try the Hyperbaric Multi-dose Ozone therapy today, which is commonly known as a Ten-Pass. The Ten-Pass takes blood out of your body, oxygenates it with ozone and puts it back into your body. This happens 10 times, hence the name Ten-Pass.

Read MoreLets focus on beef. Do you know what you are eating when you bite into your juicy steak? Organic grass fed beef is definitely the best kind of beef you should be eating, but do you know why?
First lets start with understanding what grass fed beef really is. The USDA defines grass fed meat as cows fed grass or mothers milk for its entire life. It does not however specify that the grass has to be fresh, which leads to a whole slew of variables which can include cows that are kept in pens and fed dry grass/hay, some of which could be GMO's! To make things worse, if the beef is not organic it could be getting hormones and antibiotics as well.

It takes ahold of your perfect little life and breaks it into a million pieces on the ground.

Read MoreThere are so many people who live their daily lives with all sorts of weird symptoms, that they can’t quite put a finger on it. Perhaps you have been to various doctors and no one can figure out whats wrong. Perhaps your symptoms come and go and are so varied that you don’t think they are connected in anyway. Since they come and go you are not quite sure what to make of it and if its really caused by one thing or if you are just tired. Your body is stiff and achey but you think that is just a part of “getting old” or a result of an old injury. Your mind is not as sharp as it used to be, but you know you are under constant stress and brush it off. Perhaps your doctor has told you that you have some sort of Autoimmune Disease but they are not quite sure exactly what and the labs you have done don’t confirm anything. Perhaps your doctor has told you its all in your head and prescribed anti-depressants and anti-anxiety pills. Perhaps your doctor has told you that all your labs look perfect and that there is nothing wrong with you, but you know there is something wrong. Well maybe you have Lyme Disease and your regular doctor or specialist is not going to diagnose you with it.

Read MoreDear Bartender, I am the girl that I ordered the Plymouth Gin and Soda with lots of lime the other night. You seemed really cool and offered to give me some lime that was already squeezed. Before I agreed and could finish asking my questions you were already pouring it in my drink and I could not stop you fast enough. You see, I wanted to ask you if it was fresh squeeze lime before you poured it in my drink, but everything happened so fast.
