We basically, I get four plasma transfusions a month.

Oh, my gosh.

I definitely, you know, it's not a fun journey.

So anyone that I can help avoid it, I would love to do so.

Yeah.

Thank you so much. You know, one thing that I like to say is

all my guests and all my listeners are healers themselves because we all have the power to heal

ourselves. That's beautiful. So I'm curious, so you were a professional skier and then out of nowhere the Lyme

disease kind of derails that. Do you have any idea where the Lyme came from or what caused it?

You know, I have no, so I live in Denver, Colorado. Like you said, now I'm a real estate agent, completely

different world than my previous life of skiing 300 days a year around the globe. So I've

never even seen a tick. And obviously, Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness. So I have no memory of actually being bit by a

tick or even seeing a tick. I did. I lived in Uganda when I graduated college and I was teaching

sustainable farming practices, which is I know completely off grid from everything else I did,

but it was a wonderful experience. But one of the co-infections that I got with Lyme disease,

I got two. They're called Bartonella and Babesiosis. And Babesiosis is extremely common in Uganda. It's very malaria-like. And it has the same

cellular structure as Lyme in the way that it screws into your cells. And it has the ability

to pass through the blood-bra brain barrier. So that's what makes

these illnesses so hard to combat and to fight. And what's interesting about Lyme is basically

it affects everyone differently. And if it's chronic Lyme, so if you don't, if you, if you're

aware that you were bit by a tick

and you should probably go to a doctor and go get it, you know, two weeks of doxycycline
