Late Stage Neurological Lyme Disease

Raising $ for Treatment of Late-Stage Neurological Lyme Disease
As some of you know, since May 2012, I have been fighting late-stage neurological Lyme disease—including several confections—which I caught in the UK where I was a PhD student & where the strains of the Lyme bacteria can cause devastating CNS and cardiac symptoms, including short-term memory loss, brain fog, facial palsy, arrhythmia, tachycardia, etc. In fact, some of you may have already generously donated to a previous fundraising campaign that I organized two years ago.
The truth is that the damage Lyme has wreaked—not just on the personal, professional & economic stability of my life but—on my internal organs (brain, eyes, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc.) will no doubt shorten my life span. By exactly how much is to no small extent within my own control.
While traditional pharmaceuticals can have their place in LD/TBI treatment, holistic protocols have in my experience resulted in the most significant improvements in my health—lowering my body’s overall pathogen load, improving my peripheral nervous system symptoms, lessening my joint/muscle pain, clearing up my Bell’s Palsy, etc.
Private doctor fees (alas, chronic Lyme is not recognized by the US Government—or any government for that matter—and therefore is not covered by insurance); IV treatments; herbal medicines; quality supplements; liposomal vitamins; neuro-protective essential oils; high-end minerals & nutrients; FIR sauna sessions; acupuncture sessions; rife sessions; lymphatic massages; organic produce; juicing machines; home water filtration systems; endless amounts of Epsom salt; multi-strain probiotics; glass-bottled spring water; rebounders; Mercury amalgam filling removals; even eco cleaning products (not to mention rent, food & all the usual daily expenses) all add up.
The good news is that thanks to strict adherence to holistic protocols over the past 5 years, as well as the support of many providers, the overall trajectory of my health has been one of marked improvement. At the moment, however, I am addressing my most stubborn cognitive & cardiac symptoms (this summer I suffered minor Lyme-related heart damage & until recently suffered from dangerous syncope, fainting due to serious infection in the brain), which my Lyme healers think are my earliest sites of infection/last major hurdles. If I can get over these my health & quality of life may very well improve dramatically.
The profile picture on this post was taken 7 1/2 years ago when I had just contracted Lyme disease. At the time, I didn’t know that I had Lyme. To date, I look largely the same, that is, I like many who suffer from chronic illness—“look just fine.” The reality is that, like thousands of others who are afflicted with this devastating illness, I am still very sick, and like many Lymies am estranged from my immediate family, who do not believe/care that I have chronic Lyme, and am therefore asking for your kind support.
Cash donations, as well as kind words, prayers & general good will are all appreciated. In-kind donations of sauna sessions, acupuncture sessions, and other wellness treatments are, of course, welcome.
Please share!
