Sending out an SOS... for Crystal
A video of what may be going on with Crystal
Crystal's message:
"Sending out an SOS!!! My body is shutting down rapidly. I'm in the ER daily. I'm surviving on antihistamines & steroids. Doctors are baffled. I can't eat a thing, now, literally nothing. If anyone has the ability to come help me, either to drive me to whatever specialists that can see me, or to help me with my kids, I would really appreciate it. I can not tend to them right now & I can not drive myself anywhere & these trips to the hospital by ambulance are getting old! The Littles will be home this evening until Monday morning with a very sick Mama. Anything will help, please, thank you!"
Crystal recently found out she does have Lyme disease, along with the unknown at this time. She is unable to eat anything at all, and is now with an allergist.
Crystal's bio:
"I lived through childhood with a chronic sore throat, ear infections, chronic bladder infections, tonsillitis, constantly taking some over-the-counter medication or prescription antibiotics. As a teenager, I had very low appetite and hormonal imbalances that made me not a very nice person, even to the point that I was diagnosed with a mood disorder. I realize now that my body was starving for proper nutrition. Late teens and into my 20’s I struggled with drug and alcohol abuse as I tried to self-medicate from my imbalances and ignore unresolved problems and emotions from my past.
My awakening began when my first born son began to struggle. First it was chronic ear infections and colds, then with behavioral and sensory processing disorders. I was handed a book by one of his therapists that discussed a link between ADHD and Autism and Nutrition. That’s when my whole world began to change.
Since that time I have read countless books on nutrition and began to study nutrition at a University. I studied Naturopathy, ancient medicine and healing techniques and more recently my passion is gut health, epigenetics, nutrigenomics and functional medicine and nutrition."
Crystal's education and training:
"Studied Nutrition at Texas Woman’s University. Certified Health Coach & Gut Health Expert
I will continue to study the workings of the body to undercover not only the cause of illness but also the latest in healing methods."
How you, yes YOU reading this, can help...
I know not everyone is in the position to contribute financially. But there are other ways to support, a simple 'like' or 'share' is free and goes a long way to raising awareness.
Please help Crystal get her life back and her boys. Please help her so that she may go back to Helping you Nuture your own Authentic Health Journey.

What is Lyme Disease?
Lyme Disease, or more accurately, Borreliosis, is a complex multi-system infectious disease with no known cure. It is generally transmitted to humans from the bite of an infected vector, like a tick bite.
If it's detected and treated in the early stages then there can be a good chance of recovery. Treatment and medication costs are not covered.
So if Lyme Disease is not picked up early what happens? Well it disseminates from the blood stream to many parts of the body, manifesting as a multi-systemic illness that can affect the muscles, joints, organs, brain, nervous and digestive systems. It is often called 'The Great Imitator' because it can mimic many other diseases such as MS, Parkinson's, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, ALS and Alzheimer's.
It's a tricky disease and each person will experience Lyme symptoms differently. It also means there is no one-size-fits-all treatment. If left untreated late-stage Lyme Disease has the potential to cause severe disability or death.
