Keep in mind that no disease is impossible to cure. For the forces of nature, the rejuvenating capacity of constructive thoughts, and the healing power of faith and prayer, will support anyone who determines to become well.

This book is meant to inspire and empower you with my personal story as some other success stories I have compiled. Also this book is for the family members of those who are currently battling Lyme Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and other invisible illnesses to open your eyes and hopefully your mind on understanding what your loved one is going through.

Living with chronic pains and physical suffering, anxiety, depersonalization and derealization, extreme fatigue and brain fog due to chronic illnesses such as Lyme disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromialgia can be a nightmare. The nightmare is not only living in the unknown, but also in the loneliness and the endless questions you ask yourself throughout the process.

Am I in the middle of a nightmare? Is this really happening to me? What happened to my life? Is my life really over? How do the doctors not know what’s wrong with me?
Does no one around me understand? I am so scared. If I don’t have my health I have nothing. I have no more money left for these doctors! Won’t someone please help me!?

These feelings are very understandable for someone with a chronic illness that affects the mind that doctors cannot see or don’t understand. It is very scary. Please let me help you and hold your hand through it. I lived with all of these questions for several years before I realized what needed to be done.

…I was rushed by ambulance to Morristown ER in, everybody though I was having a stroke, because left side of my body became totally numb, my blood pressure dropped, and I was half conscious. At that moment I felt so in peace for the first time in those 3 month – I thought: if I was dying at least not by myself in my small Manhattan apartment, and if it was not my time yet, I was in emergency room and they will do what they can.I was hooked up to an IV right away and soon after I was rolled for all kind of tests possible: CT scan, MRI’s, X-rays, blood tests, and some other I had no idea what they were. For one of the CT scans I was given an IV with a contrast dye and then put immediately into some capsule that closed completely when my body was in. Besides feeling like a monkey in a research lab, I got sick from the dye and fall into major panic attack from being in a closed space. After they got me out I was given immediately another IV to stop an allergic reaction from the dye and I was injected with a sedative. I felt like a small tortured rat undergoing medical experiments. My life was a hell as it was already and emergency room experience made it worse. After 12 hours of testing nothing wrong was found and  I was announced healthy and was released home. It was my second ER visit to one of the best hospitals in the country, and according to the doctors NOTHING WAS WRONG with me again!

6 weeks later I became even sicker than before. All pains tripled, neurological problems progressed, facial muscle twitches moved form my left side to the right. I became so paranoid that my right side was going to get paralyzed. I had no idea what was going on with me, I was so scared, I lost my mind and total control over my life.  I started experiencing heart palpitations and really bad panic attacks. I was waking up at night in cold sweat. The night sweats were so bad, I had to change my pajamas twice a night, they were soaked wet. During those panic attacks I though I was dying while desperately grasping for some air. I cannot explain how I felt! I was trying to describe some of it to my sister; she would reply that it was all in my head! Then doctors would tell me it was ALL IN MY HEAD! I was beyond scared and terrified! All by myself, all alone in this country, not a single soul seemed to care, not a single soul showed a sign of compassion… That was the beginning of the hardest period of my life. I knew I was not crazy, but I was in constant pain, that was constantly migrating from place to place, and I was experiencing weird sensations all over my body, but everyone told me it was ALL IN MY HEAD! I was so desperate, I was crying my heart out 24/7 not knowing what was wrong with me and what to do about that!

“It is with disease of the mind, as with those of the body; we are half dead before we understand our disorder, and half cured when we do.”

 When the neurologist diagnosed me with Lyme Disease based on clinical manifestation, he explained that it’ an infectious disease and I needed to take a course of antibiotics. He warned me that I needed to be on Doxycycline for at least 90 days without any breaks. I got really concerned why would I need to be on antibiotics for such a long period of time, when standard course of antibiotics for infectious disease is 7-14 days? Little did I know that 90 days is nothing, usual Lyme treatment is  18 to 36 MONTH of IV + oral antibiotics with an odd chance of cure.Let me ask you something, how come an infectious disease like Pneumonia for example is treatable within 7-10 days of oral antibiotics, while infectious disease like Lyme requires up to 36 MONTHS of intravenous antibiotics without any guarantees?

Current recommendations call for 7 – 10 days of treatment for S. pneumoniae and 10 – 14 days for Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae. However, some research suggests that patients with mild-to-moderate community-acquired pneumonia may be successfully treated with 7 days or less of antibiotics. The shorter treatment may increase patient tolerance, and improve the likelihood that patients will stick to the treatment regimen. It will also help limit the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.

If I was not ill with Lyme, I would never be able to understand how it really feels. When I am trying to explain, people think I am crazy. It is hard even explain to a doctor what hurts, because the pain migrates before you finish your sentence. Pains due to Lyme are UNBEARABLE! I have never experienced anything like that before. It felt like someone was twisting my arm out, pain was coming though my bones. Join pain was devastating. Headaches and migraines were terrifying!

But forget the physical pain! What was going on inside my brain was much worse! First off, I had constant muscle twitches, nerve shootings, I had weird sensations like bugs were crawling on me,  like rain was coming down and I felt wet drops on my body. And all of that was not as bad as de-realization! During really bad de-realization moments, I wanted to kill myself. That was so scary to see the whole world around you in a different dimension. That sensation was terrifying, I was praying to God to either stop it or take me.

Being an acupuncture student, I have seen all kind of patients in our New York City clinic. AIDS, cancer, MS, fibromyalgia, you name it –we got those patients. Trust me, none of them was as ill as Lyme patients. Even AIDS patients did not experience anything even close to de-realization and de-personalization.

I can go on and on, but no need.  What we are experiencing is not caused by some “natural” bug that the most patent herbs or antibiotics are able to kill. I have never heard of infectious disease that causes physical pain and agony, neurological dysfunction, paralysis, mental dysfunctions, and highest rate of suicide!

Just read a book “Lab 257” by Michael C. Carroll…

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of languor and suffering – an image of death.

Buddha

From the day one I was diagnosed with Lyme, I was desperately searching for answers online. There are many forums and online communities that discuss treatments and protocols for Lyme. One of the biggest ones that I came across was mdjunction.com. I started reading all posts and learning what treatments work and what don’t. I have learned about Samento from that forum and I have also learned that Lyme will make you miserable for the rest of your life. I was contacting “veterans” on that forum asking them about what worked for them, and the usual answer was that nothing worked and there was no cure. It seems to me that people in the support groups are the ones who don’t get better. Some of those people are cynical and depressed and they often tend to bring others down. I would often come across posts like :”It does not worse it to even start treatments, because you will never get your health back anyways.”  They are not a real representation of us who healed from Lyme. I was getting really depressed and discouraged however I had that inner voice inside of me that knew there was some kind of solution and I would never give up.

I came across so many terrifying stories like: “Cancer paled next to the despair of knowing I was facing this terrible dark place again – of constant pain, fatigue and whole body sickness. With cancer, I could still live life even though I might be facing death. But this illness was a living death. Laurie Martin, a Californian who has struggled with both tick-borne infections and colon cancer, states that cancer “pales” in comparison to the pain and suffering of Lyme disease.”

So, I have started searching for people with success stories ONLY and talking to those that healed themselves. Well, there were not many of them. (Most likely those who healed from Lyme simply moved on with their lives). I have found one lady on that forum, I remember, her name was Connie. She was my hero, my inspiration, and my hope. Connie was sick for at least 10 years before she got diagnosed, and she gave it all she had to heal herself! I was asking her questions every day about her treatments and supplements, and I was gaining little hope to heal myself one day.

“There are NO incurable diseases, NONE. Take RESPONSIBILITY, and be willing to CHANGE, and you can heal yourself of anything.

Dr. Shultze

So before we move any further this chapter is an absolute MUST!

When I just got sick I was constantly crying and asking: “Why me?” And I was desperately looking for a “cure”. I was researching treatments and protocols hoping there would be some special treatment like stem cell therapy for instance that will cure me.

Sounds familiar?

Most of us are asking wrong questions and playing “victims”. You cannot get better if you do not change your attitude! I do not care how many antibiotics you are going to take and what fancy treatments you are undergoing, you simply won’t get better if you do not take full responsibility of your health and change your attitude!

No more asking: “Why me?”!!!  Who even cares? All you need right now is to get better! From now on you will ask yourself: “What can I do TODAY to improve my health? How can I support my immune system? What treatments are more aligned with me – conventional or alternative, or both? How can I support my mind? What am I grateful for? “

Every time you feel discouraged, repeat this affirmation: “My body is able to heal itself. My body is designed to heal itself. Nothing is incurable!”

When I was sick I printed out these 2 quotes that always reminded me I was going to get well no matter what!

“I believe the body can heal itself if given the proper stimulus! Lyme Disease is no exception! It makes sense to try an approach that will work WITH your immune system instead of against it. Never settle for being told that something is incurable! Get Empowered! Get Well!”

And the second one was: “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” P.Coelho

You can use my quotes or find your own that will inspire you and remind you that you WILL get better no matter what!

“I have consistently seen that people who are able to get rid of their anger heal. Those who are eaten up with anger and resentment, as well those who get depressed and ask questions like, “Why me?” don’t tend to heal.” Dr. Ginger Savely, DNP (“Insights into Lyme Disease Treatment”, Connie Strasheim, p.138)

I was desperately looking for a cure. I was researching treatments and protocols hoping there would be some special treatment like Multi Wawe Oscilator or some other fancy device that will cure me. The whole business of medicine brainwashed us in the idea of “finding” a cure. The word “Finding” implies to look outside yourself for the answer. We were taught that healing is a matter of finding the right cure for your particular disease.  Lately it has become more obvious that health is a personal responsibility. Medicine has become a lucrative business, guided by the pharmaceutical companies. They’ve managed to put people in a constant state of fear, always worrying about the next disease or epidemic.

I suggest taking back responsibility and authority for ourselves. Education about health and how the body functions can be very empowering.

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped…”
Tony Robbins

I have tried everything—nothing works! There is no cure , why even bother? May be next year they will come up with a “magic” pill. I have no energy to exercise. I have no money to buy organic food.

So which one are you? Which one is your story? Because you know – your story is just a story that can be changed at a heart bit. It is your mindset, your believe system and your excuse. And all of the above comes from fear. The number one obstacle that stops people of getting what they want is fear. Fear to fail (you are afraid next treatment will fail you), fear of pain (you are afraid you get worse before you get better), fear of the unknown (you are afraid of the outcomes of next protocol).  You can tell yourself a story that you don’t have energy, money, resources, but in reality you are afraid.

I have a friend that I met online from New York. It’s been a year since I got diagnosed and I was still a mess, but I was better compare to how I started. We have been talking for about 7 month on the phone almost every single day before we finally met. I was getting better and better and his condition was not changing.  I asked him: “So, what treatments are you doing, what protocols taking to get better?” He said, “nothing, I have tried it all, I have been sick for many years, nothing works. I need strong drugs to cure me, I do not believe in all those woo-woo treatments.” So I asked him, “Have you tried Ozone and it did not work?” “No, I have not tried that”, “Have you tried Rife machine?” “No, I have not”, “Have you tried ACT?” – “No, but I do not believe in that program, it is not scientifically explainable”. As you can see, this person said he already tried everything and nothing works, apparently he tried one or two treatments and gave up. Also, he has been sick for 6 years and doing nothing to recover. So how does he expect to get better?

You have 2 choices, my friends, you can choose to stay the way you are right now – sick and tired, or you can choose to take charge of your life and apply the steps I am giving you in this book. This is your life, and this your choice. You either choose to take full responsibility for your own health or you choose to be a victim.

And I am here to help. In order to succeed in any areas of your life (health, business, relationship), you need a role model to know it’s real what you are striving for. You need to find someone who achieved results you are aiming for and model his/her. In my case, I found 4 warriors, that healed themselves from chronic Lyme natural way without pharmaceutical drugs, and I followed their pattern. And you have to be “hungry” enough to do that. In life you need either an inspiration or a desperation, and I had them both. I encourage you to apply all steps I will give you in part 2 of this book to assist you on your way to optimum health.

“Some remedies are worse than the disease.”
Publilius Syrus 

I have started Doxycycline the same day I got diagnosed by the neurologist. I do not believe in drugs and never take any. However this time I have decided to step over my believes choosing the lesser evil.  What I was going through was zillion times worse than side effects of antibiotics. I have to note however, it is very important that a treatment is aligned with you. If you do believe in pharmaceutical drugs like antibiotics, they might actually work for you.

As you have guesses, 90 days of Doxycycline did not do any good to me, otherwise this book would be finished right here. Unfortunately, I was getting worse and worse during those 3 months. My LLMD told me to start another 3 antibiotics plus Mepron for babesia for another 5 month! I knew I did not want to experiment with drugs anymore so I stopped seeing my LLMD and took my healing in my own hands.

I have decide not to take any more antibiotics for the following reasons:

First of, antibiotic means “against life”, which is not aligned with my vision of healing at all.

Those 4 women that healed themselves reported that antibiotics failed them, and moreover they even felt much worse afterwards.

Since Lyme spirochetes can become cysts virtually instantaneously in the presence of threatening antibiotics, it does not make sense to use antibiotics.

Antibiotics are too large and not able to cross blood-brain barrier, and most of my symptoms were affecting my brain.

Antibiotics are not able to get into joins, bones, and other tissue, where spirochete hides.

And last, but not least, antibiotics suppress immune system big time.

In order to promote the body’s ability to heal, Lyme warriors must do everything possible to strengthen their immune system.

Remember, it makes sense to take an approach that will work WITH YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM, instead of against it. And antibiotics were working AGAINST my immune system.

“Another problem with antibiotics is that they don’t deal with the core problem, which is a weak immune system and consequent susceptibility to illness. Antibiotics are toxic to many organs of the body and can damage the kidneys, ears, gastrointestinal tract, and liver. Their use comes at a high cost.” Ronald Whitmont, MD (“Insights into Lyme Disease Treatment”, Connie Strasheim, p.207)

“Ignorance and arrogance make a bad combination, and “modern” medicine has been guilty of both for decades. The news media have been their willing accomplices. The misinformation they spew to this day is fraught with fabricated frights of natural therapies, while in the same breath they spew forth the wonders of pharmaceutical drugs.”

Andrew Saul

… After the oxygen therapy I was sent to the IV room. That was quit an experience! I have seen many IV rooms before that, but this one stand out! It did look like an upscale spa, the chair we were sitting were the pedicure massage chairs with all kind of massage options. You would not find any medical reading material, instead they had “cosmopolitans”, “People”, “Shape”, and other popular magazines for women and “Wall street journal” “New Yrok Times” , and other journals for finance folks. Even patients were different! No one looked like a terminal AIDS or Cancer patient. Every one looked pretty good, and what amazed me, every one was working on their laptops and “Blackberries” . That’s amazing – even Lyme (or some other chronic illness) does not stop a New Yorker from busy life! And another guy sitting next to me with his IV (young and good looking by the way) was trying to pick me up, right there, in the IV room. Before I used to get my dates at fashion shows or fitness and nutrition events, and now I was asking on a date at a doctors office, that treats HIV, AIDS, CFS, Lyme, and other scary disorders… What an experience!

In this medical office I was prescribed “RN Transfer Factor Lyme plus” and  homeopathic Lyme nosode, as well Buhners protocol. (A nosode is a homeopathic remedy prepared from a pathological specimen. A nosode will create an informatory/energetic protection from the microbes. Nosodes can also help to recover old and almost „forgotten“ infectious diseases, which never have been cured out completely). I was taking those two medicines for almost 3 month before I stopped. The reason I have stopped “RN Transfer Factor Lyme plus” it was pretty expensive and I thought I could invest those money on more potent medicine (again, more potent for me. Remember, if it did not work for me it does not mean it won’t work for you!) And I have stopped homeopathic nosode, because I have decided to find a homeopath that practices “Classical” homeopathy and get a prescription based on my body constitution and on my clinical manifestation.

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

During my worst flares up one the scariest symptoms was de-realization (and often de-personalization). It is very hard to explain what I was experiencing inside me. I felt like I was watching the whole world around me like a movie, and I was outside. It was an “out of body” experience. I had that horrible feeling inside of me that I had never experienced before in my life. Something was really off with the biochemistry in my brain and I literally felt like my soul was leaving me. Those moments were the most difficult ones, I had multiple urges to end it for good, the only reason I did not take my life at those moments is my parents. They anchored me to stay in this world. And my threshold for physical and emotional pain is extremely high. But during those moments biochemistry in my brain would switch to something abnormal, that I had no control of.

My best description of it is like being out of your own body watching what is going on around you.  When I got it, it would be followed by a high anxiety. It is a scary and strange feeling. I had feelings of being detached from others. Lots of numbness. Sometimes there’s a feeling of floating, like I was off balance or not grounded.

I was feeling disconnected from the world and having a sensation of unreality. The sensation is described as if the world has become nothing more than a projection of a film. This sensation was really distressing and was making me believing that some permanent damage has been done to their brain, causing these sensations.

Usually I would develop a panic attack during those episodes and terrible unexplained anxiety. I would crawl in my bed for a couple of days until it goes away. I remember my sister called me one of those days and I started crying. She asked what’s wrong. And I told her I was not feeling well. So she would tell: “So why are crying, just take an aspirin.” You see, people do not understand and never will unless they experience it themselves what it feels like to have a chronic man-made illness.

I have found a healer on Long Island that practices Oriental Medicine, Homeopathy and Apitherapy. She was all booked up so I had to wait at least 2 months to see her. Her name was … She was a super friendly French lady. Her house where she practiced had a special healing ambience.

She took her time to ask me zillion of questions. If you familiar with Homeopathy, you probably know that the practitioner asks tons of questions about you and your habits. Some of the questions sound very weird, like :”Are you afraid of thunderstorms?”, or “What is the weirdest thing you like to do when you are by yourself?” That way homeopath understands you better and he is able to design a special formula that is unique to you.

Then I was given some homeopathic pellets before I lied down for my acupuncture treatment. I got really emotional and I was crying all the time I was there. I was feeling so hopeless and scared again. She actually asked me if I had any emotional trauma in my life and when during the intake. I my answer was:” Yes, my biggest trauma is Lyme disease.”

I had a back and a front treatment and when time was up, she came back to the room with a box, size of the iPhone package –box. She asked me :”Are you ready?”  She shacked the box vigorously to make the “girls” angry. When I heard that angry bees buzz, I realized that there was no way I would undergo that torture. One of the bees managed to escape and it was flying all over the room making me terrified. If it was a one time experience—yes. However one requires at lest 10 treatments to notice the difference. I have decided to skip the bees for good.

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of languor and suffering – an image of death.

Buddha

After having my worst de-realization moments I became so eager to try more radical treatments. I have been sick for over a year and I after seen slight improvements I would relapse again. I have decided to try an autohemotherapy.

Autohemotherapy is a form of transfusion therapy that is far more common in Europe than in the United States. Its goal is to enhance the immune system’s ability to fight disease. During the procedure, a small amount of blood is taken from a vein in the patient’s arm; the blood is sometimes mixed with a natural remedy and then re-injected into the skin or the muscle of the buttock. The blood retains its normal components–the usual complement of hormones, antibodies, minerals, and salts. Any metabolic by-products resulting from acute or long-term illnesses also will be present in the blood.

Practitioners of autohemotherapy believe that reintroduction of the blood strengthens a person’s immunity, because the body must mount a fresh immune response to the disease-causing substances. Consequently, the technique is often performed to treat chronic immune deficiency, allergies, gout, liver problems, diabetes, and rheumatic ailments. Some also believe the procedure can boost vitality.

Surely enough, this treatment is popular in Europe, South America, Canada, but it is not FDA approved  in the  US. So I could not really find a doctor in San Diego to perform autohemotherapy on me. Luckily my roommate at that time was a Physician Assistant graduate. First when I told her about my idea she was like: “No way!” But then I have convinced her to practice autohemotherapy on me. I have carefully learned instruction from a legitimate source and ordered syringes online.

Our kitchen became our surgery room. Trust me, autohemotherapy is a pretty bloody procedure. Every time she was drawing my blood, I was about to pass out. It did not hurt that much, but the whole process of seeing full syringe of my own blood being injected back into my body was making me sick. I have done this process a few times and after my roommate moved out I was not able to find anyone else to practice that therapy on me. People would literally run away when I explained them what I wanted them to do.  Nurses, PAs, and even doctors do not learn that in medical school, as many other powerful treatments, of course they would be skeptical to do autohemotherapy on anyone.

“He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.”

Arabian Proverb

Soon after I have stopped experimenting with MMS, I’ve got an e-mail from a dear friend of mine:

“ Hi Katrina,

Something wonderful happened! I was at a lecture by Heiner Fruehauf about Gu syndrome at PCOM last night. It is clear that he has the cure for Lyme! I need to talk to you about this since it’s too long to elaborate on email.

Lai San.”

Can you imagine my excitement after receiving this e-mail?! I have carefully read all I could about “Gu symdrome” and was very impressed with how Dr. Fruehauf explains it and his approach to treat it.

Dr. Fruehauf formulas reflect a unique approach to the difficult and recalcitrant problem of chronic inflammatory disease. It is based on the Qing dynasty remedy Jiajian Su He Tang (Perilla and Mint Decoction Modified), and represents a time-honored solution for the important clinical phenomenon of “Brain Gu Syndrome” (literally means Demons of the Body & Mind): treatment resistant diseases caused by viral and spirochetal infections of the nervous system (such as chronic herpes, Lyme disease, babesiosis, bartonellosis, ehrlichiosis, and rickettsia). This formula  aims to not only counteract pathogens, but also to treat terrain issues associated with various deficiencies in the patient’s qi, yin, and blood.

…. Dr. Monus looked into his super powerful dark field microscope and said
“a-ha”. He showed me my blood on his computer screen and explained what he saw. He confirmed I did not have Lyme, however, I had an “aluminum chemtrail crystals” in my blood that’s contained all kinds of viruses, parasites, and micoplasma.

For those of you who does not know, over the past decade and more, long white trails emanating from jet planes have been seen lingering in the skies all over the planet, often expanding and merging to form vast swathes of artificial cloud cover.

These trails are clearly not water vapor contrails, which evaporate after several minutes. They remain overhead for long extended periods of time, often culminating in strange grid like formations.

Chemtrails are loaded with heavy metal toxins that have been measured in the water and air at several different locations. And now these toxins are showing up at high levels in blood samples from regular folks who have been ill while living in chemtrailed areas.

Aluminum, barium, and strontium are found with high levels in all those samples. They are invisible yet are found in water and air samples at ground levels; this means they are infesting plant life and water supplies while we breathe them into our lungs. Breathing in toxins bypasses a considerable amount of our immune systems.

The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.

 Benjamin Disraeli

As many of you with neurological Lyme, one of the worst symptoms of mine was brain fog (always accompanied by fatigue). As I mentioned earlier, I would forget my own phone number, I would not be able to complete simple tasks. During one of the worst episodes of brain fog I got into major car accident.  Brain fog is caused by load of neurotoxins that Lyme produces as well as by other factors.

…  A natural way to relieve brain fog is to consume foods that provide you with adequate nutrition. Getting sufficient nutrients and minerals in your diet is an important way of improving brain function and energy levels in the body. You should eat plenty of green leafy vegetables, wholegrain foods and foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. You can take natural supplements, containing essential nutrients and supplements, like multivitamin and vitamin B12, to help improve mental function and relieve brain fog.

You should always drink plenty of water with lemon to help with brain fog relief. Adequate hydration is vital for the brain and enhances mental function. Also, drinking lots of water helps flush out toxins in the body, which can improve brain function.

Physical activity assists with proper functioning of the brain. It improves blood circulation in the body, increases oxygen flow to the brain and boosts energy levels. Exercise also stimulates the production of ‘feel-good’ chemicals such as serotonin and endorphins, which help regulate mood and cognitive function.

Getting adequate sleep can help relieve brain fog and ensure optimal brain function. You should aim at getting eight hours of sleep every night. (I know, some of you are in bed for 12 hours just to wake up still tired, it will go away, I promise!) This will help you stay energetic and alert during the day, and help improve brain function and provide relief from brain fog.

There are several herbal remedies and supplements that can help provide brain fog relief. One popular herbal supplement for relieving brain fog is gingko bilboa. This supplement is said to act by dilating blood vessels to allow improved circulation and increased oxygen to the brain. In doing so, it promotes memory and cognitive brain function. Also “Pinella” from Nutramedix is great. Some people swear by Turmeric.

For me personally best relieve from brain fog was detox such as sweating. No matter how tired and foggy I felt, I would go for a run and I always felt better even for a bit. The best brain fog elevation treatment for me was hyperthermia , i.e. sauna or even better – hot yoga. (I do not recommend steam room just because municipal water is chlorinated and while in a steam room you will inhale too much toxic chlorine). As soon as I start sweating load of toxins leave my body through sweat and I felt better immediately. Also, taking activated charcoal, coffee enemas, and drinking plenty of water with lemon worked for me. As far as supplements, Dr. Shultze’s “Cayenne” tincture worked wonders! His formula is so potent, it increased circulation and blood flow to the brain within minutes.

My greatest challenge has been to change the mindset of people. Mindsets play strange tricks on us. We see things the way our minds have instructed our eyes to see.

Muhammad Yunus

After interviewing Lyme Survivors, I can reassure you that their mind set was much more important than their financial situation, family support, or even state of their immune system to begin with or level of their illness. And my goal is to teach you how to create that mindset that will lead to an outstanding health.

First of, ask yourself why is it an absolute MUST to get your health back. You have to clearly define your why, your reason. For some of you it may be your kids or your loved one. You may want to have more energy to be able to enjoy your family. For some of you it may be some goal that you are going to achieve as soon as you get your health back. For me it was an ABSOLUTE MUST to reclaim my health and my life whatever it takes. And the reason was because I would never settle for that low quality of life. I knew I had so much potential and I was hungry enough to get the break through. But my main drive was not just about myself. After I got sick and was going through living hell, I told myself I have to get better no matter what to help others with Lyme. As everybody else I was asking myself “Why me?” when I just got sick. And my only answer was – because I HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO RECOVER in order to help others.

After you know why you MUST get your health back, it’s time to get into state of absolute certainty that you are winning this battle WHATEVER IT TAKES! Because only state of absolute certainty will make you take massive actions. And what action you take will define which results you get. For example John and Maya both have the same symptoms today – extreme fatigue, brain fog, headache, and depression.

Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.”


Jim Rohn


Lyme Disease is one of the most complicated diseases to treat. While the infections are a significant part of the disease, but impaired physiology, biotoxin load, immune dysfunction, heavy metals, mold, parasites, and psychological break down are what determine how sick person will be.

There are so many people getting bitten by ticks multiple times and never get sick. There are people that live in highly epidemic areas like Connecticut and New Jersey, and never get sick, and there are people like you and I, that live in Manhattan or other urban areas, and got seriously ill.

There are also people that carry Lyme bacteria, and whole bouquet of coinfections and viruses and don’t have symptoms till a decade later something happens, commonly 6 month before they get symptoms. It’s usually some kind of trauma, like a car accident, loss of a family member, divorce, loss of a job, break up or something else. For me it was a loss of a guy I was in love with. I remember as it happened yesterday, on April 29, 2009 he left US for good and we knew we would never be together again. And first time in my life I was feeling extremely weak and my body was stiff and in pain due to psychological stress. However they went away in a few days I was back to my normal self.
