The Silver Lyming: Episode 13 with Sandy Riley

Sandy and her husband Maurice are no strangers to the diseases ticks can infect us with. They were both infected with Lyme/TBI, and like so many others, are not particularly sure where they contracted it. Sandy thinks they may have been bit when they would take long strolls int he woods and grassy fields where they used to live but they never became acutely ill, it was more of a gradual onset of illness. Maurice wound up getting a pacemaker in 2015 for an incredibly low heart rate. He would literally fall asleep while doing activities. Sandy had both knees replaced. Looking back at these health events, she feels it was most likely from the Lyme/TBI, but they have no proof of this. Through talking to other people, she has learned the very same thing happened to others and they were able to point her in the right direction for holistic treatment. They understood that the standard testing is very unreliable, and it failed Sandy, but she was able to get help from her holistic practitioner. They both treated for a year and were able to eliminate the Lyme from their bodies. They both have made vast improvements with their health. Sandy is still healing digestive issues. She has made adjustments to her nutritional intake plan and that has made a world of difference. She also values exercise and moving her body and she embraces various methods to meditate. These combined with holistic medicine have worked much better for her than Western medicine. I applaud Sandy for always asking questions, learning new ways to support her body, and trying new things to make adjustments. She has always been very good about that since the day I met her in the in-person Lyme support group I used to run. That is one lesson this illness has taught me (and I think almost everyone else who has it) that we MUST BE OUR OWN BEST ADVOCATES. No one else is going to do it for you. YOU MUST TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR OWN LIFE. We have so much power we are not aware of to heal ourselves. It is POSSIBLE.
