  • Please take the time to hear my story. I searched for 4 years, was misdiagnosed and dismissed countless times by doctors. I was misdiagnosed 10 times until I was finally tested for Lyme Disease and co-infections. I almost lost my life in the pursuit of answers while my body fell apart from this disease. Please watch to know you aren't alone and so you know you can heal through the help of a doctor educated in this disease.

    This is the first 'Lyme story' on UA-cam I could relate to. The first one also, where the person had actually been positively tested by Specialty Labs and I know you and your doctor are legit, since he's the same guy who finally diagnosed me, after going without a dx for 25+ years. Before that, Lyme wasn't even on my radar and I was often told I was just depressed, crazy, etc. Thanks for sharing! So many Lyme stories are by people with no testing or who had active Lyme. I have a strong desire to share my own, but I've been afraid it will affect my business reputation. You are brave.

    Oh my god... My experience with doctors and Lyme babs and ehrlichosis are nearly identical. I've been living with it for over 25 years now. Also got the probable ms diagnosis and anxiety. If you ever need to talk to someone just reach out and I will gladly share or just listen. Thank you for this video. It is life changing but in some ways made me a much more compassionate person.

    Thank you for accepting my request to your Facebook support group that led me to this video. I’ve just listened to your story and I have cried and cried. Thank you for your encouragement and for giving me a sliver of hope even though I’m terrified to get my hopes up.
    I just found out this week that I have chronic Lyme disease and I have so many mixed emotions. I just turned 57 years old and have told friends and family I have not been ME for years. Just like everyone else I’ve been to doctor after doctor until I finally found a doctor that actually hears me, tested me and the tests came back positive for Lyme.
    I’m trying to learn all I can before making hopefully the right medical decision as to which route of treatment to go. But like you and so many others. My memory, focus, and concentration are shot. Totally gone! I even went to a neurologist to get tested for early dementia and Alzheimer’s and I’m all clear there. Sometimes I can’t even spell simple words. This may be the most frustrating part because how can I advocate for my health if I can’t keep my memory and focus. I know write it down but I get so sidetracked.
    Enough complaints, I just wanted to say I hate you’ve gone through this horrible experience but I’m grateful you have not let it break your spirit and crush your soul indefinitely. I’m thankful for the knowledge and the empathy that you’ve gained through it all and your willingness to share your story. I look forward to listening to the rest of your videos and thank you again. Sending you much love, prayers for complete healing, and healing vibes. ❤❤❤

    I had 3 “negative” Lyme tests because the CDC guidelines state there have to at least 5 bands out of 10 to be considered positive. Now I’m living with the damage and struggle to get through the day. It has been a nightmare for me, my family and friends since 2005. I thank you for your awareness. Blessings to you Jessica.

    Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry for all that you went through. The medical community’s neglect of people with this disease is inexcusable. It makes me think of a field of ostriches with there heads in the sand. I’ve never sued anyone, but I wish I could take on the American Medical Association for their incompetence regarding Lyme Disease. I can’t imagine how different my son’s life would be if his pediatricians hadn’t brushed off his early symptoms.

    Good job sticking with what you believe is right! I've recently been in a situation that felt similar to your feelings when those closest to you dismiss what you're saying, and even tell you that it's not happening or impossible. That hurts coming from someone you thought knew you for so long.
    It takes inner strength and discipline to do what you've done. You are a samurai of the American healthcare system! Good job again. Many people don't survive our American healthcare system!

    Jessica we are so proud of you. I don’t know how many times I’ve shared your video already but I won’t stop I think yours is one of the best description life is for us and I think it will wake people up. I’m going to do the best I can to get justice for all of us and I wish you all the best. And those of you out there who don’t have families like myself I’m fighting for you too. Because you’re my family, and I couldn’t wish for a kinder more beautiful family. It’s just so sad how we were brought together but together they have made it, many haven’t and for those who haven’t and for those who still stand a chance I’m going to fight for them. Sending love and hugs to every lyme Warrior out there. Some are fighting warriors some are wounded and some don’t even know they’re victims of a crime. It is such a cruel world but I think we bring a lot of beauty to it

    I've been going through this for like 10 years. I've been gaslit by medical professionals and family , but I'm finally seeing a functional medicine doc and I do have a positive lyme band, along with several mineral deficiencies. The type of anxiety almost seizure like experiences you are talking about sound a lot like what I believed were my first panic attacks. No history of anxiety before that and the onset was sudden. I struggle daily with physical and mental symptoms, a never ending list

      Lyme is a highly virulent infectious disease that needs antimicrobial treatment and immune support. And herbs (plants) have been proven over and over to be one of the most effective ways of treating it (see Stephen Buhner's books). Stop spreading carnivore cult lies. The only reason people feel better on carnivore is becuase they've eliminated all the glyphosate, heavy metals, GMO's and other pesticides found in conventional produce. But you will ultimately suffer severe nutritional deficiencies in the long term. I'm not a vegan by any stretch of the imagination either, but I am a highly trained herbalist. I just know including clean organic produce and herbs in your diet provides critical, healing nutrients in their natural whole food form (enzymes and cofactors in-tact) that can most easily be assimilated by the body and are essential for life. Eating nothing but meat and processed pills made from isolated, synthetic chemicals in a labratory for missing nutrients is absolutely not a path to long term health. If carnivore is the magic cure to everything, how do you explain Gerson Therapy curing countless cases of cancer for almost 100 years?
