What is Chronic Lyme Disease? Understanding My Diagnosis
Twenty-five years ago, before I started CBH Energetics, I felt like I had the world at my fingertips. I was unstoppable in an amazing city with a fantastic group of friends and a booming career in engineering.
Everything changed within a month.
What I thought was the flu quickly escalated over four weeks. I went from healthy to completely bedridden. I went from doctor to doctor, much like many of our clients. My blood results were “normal,” and I was offered everything from antidepressants to prednisone. After seeing well over 50 doctors and countless tests, I was finally diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease by a naturopath
Chronic Lyme Disease Symptoms: My Experience
Living with chronic Lyme disease felt like:
- Excruciating joint pain that never stopped
- Cold sweats around the clock
- Extreme fatigue beyond what I thought was humanly possible
- Mental delusion and confusion
- Complete loss of ability to function
It was such a scary time, and I was so young! My parents were very worried.
Doctor after doctor, test after test, diagnoses were tossed around, but nothing was confirmed… all the while, my body and mind deteriorated until I was bedridden in a vegetative state. I had seen well over 50 doctors, was put on countless drugs, and even did a month-long stay at one of the most reputable hospitals in the world…only to be told it was all in my head.
After four years of a living hell, I found a naturopath who used bioresonance testing to identify Chronic Lyme Disease. I laughed, as I had been tested over and over through the years, and nothing had ever been found or diagnosed. He was so confident in his testing accuracy that he said, “Fine, you can go on the way you are, or take this regimen, work on this diet, and tweak your lifestyle and see how you do.
As this all sank in, I thought, “Wow, a tick did this to me?”
I never had a bull’s eye rash, but I could recall picking hundreds of ticks off myself growing up in Northern Wisconsin.
Finally, I came to terms with this diagnosis, but I had no idea what I was in for. After trying antibiotics, which almost put me in the grave, I knew that the holistic route was the only thing my body could handle.
Herbs for Lyme Disease & Natural Remedies That Saved My Life
Six months into herbs, homeopathy, nutrition, and dietary changes, my body started to come back to me.
My naturopath used testing similar to the bioenergetic testing we offer today. He got me:
- Back into society
- Back to myself
- My life back
On some of the darkest days, I prayed not to wake up but vowed that if I ever got better, I would dedicate myself to helping those with chronic pain, fatigue, and illness. I entered into holistic health courses, becoming a certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Nutritionist, and graduate from the Academy of International Bioenergetic Sciences, and I have studied under some of the most cutting-edge doctors in Alternative Medicine.
One of them, Dr. Robert Cass, teaches in our Bioenergetics Certification Course!
So here I am….I have given myself wholeheartedly to helping those in need.
We do this through Bioresonance testing and help those with Lyme and so much more. We have helped those with mold toxicity, digestive issues, skin rashes, and even emotional stress, all through energy testing.
Chronic Lyme Disease has been a bittersweet experience. When I was sick, I temporarily cursed the world that surrounded me until I embraced it. I accepted it, as I knew at some point that all of the suffering would help me to do something positive out of such a horrific experience.
Now, here I am, trying to change the world…one client at a time, through thorough testing, education, potent natural remedies, and, most importantly….compassion. Self-compassion and compassion for others are necessary, as this journey has its ups and downs.
If you or someone you know struggles with pain, fatigue, digestive problems, confusion, sleeplessness, or other issues that leave you stumped, I encourage you to reach out to us. We offer 7 different types of bioenergetic testing and create custom regimens based on test results. The power of homeopathy, herbs, and nutritional supplements created my foundation to heal, thrive, and help others.
What you do today can reflect who you’ll be tomorrow.
