What the actual fuck. She’s the new (arm waiving with no qualifications) Jenny McCarthy, profiteering on other’s suffering.

FWIW-- My cousin’s daughter was one of the first people diagnosed with the disease in the Old Lyme area of CT back in the late 70’s. She was a child and they didn’t know what it was, and she suffered for years before it was properly diagnosed. She still has health problems today, primarily symptoms similar to rheumatoid arthritis.

“This gives me chills down my entire body.”
Fever, chills, fatigue, body aches, headache, neck stiffness and swollen lymph nodes can accompany the rash.

Is this a conspiracy to get ignorant folks to kill themselves? I seriously have to ask if their isn’t an effort to spread misinformation in an attempt to decrease the human population with zero regard to how it effects the rest of us.

What is frustrating is - looking up minerals, often times it is some woo site explaining what agate does to your chakras or what ever.

Isn’t this indistinguishable from intentionally harmful speech like yelling “fire” in a crowded theater?

So, is this another one of those “sunlight is the best disinfectant” things where the best way to make sure we never hear about them again is to bring their message to as many people as possible?

I knew someone diagnosed early as well. It seemed like a life of utter misery and because of her constant pain she was quite irritable and therefore hard to find care for.
We live in a Lyme-heavy area and if you have any symptoms whatsoever they put you on a 7 day course of Doxycycline without question. All of us have had it except the Littlest Pea at least twice with none of the long-term symptoms a lot of our older friends have.
That’s awful. I’m so sorry to hear that.

WTF is “a medical intuitive”
Tell that to my nephew who was suffering for a year + and still has follow on effects.
Ignorance is dangerous.
