"I don't know how to be with you because my body constantly hurts"-Anonymous research patient

Compassion Fatigue-"You are listening and taking in that pain. Their is no way that you as a loving and caring person aren't absorbing some of that, with the hope that if I just listen enough they will get over that, and that's not going to happen. Your giving will be impacted.

"As the years went on we just couldn't keep up with our community." -Sarah

"As the illness seeps in and literally takes away who you are, I didn't feel like I had anything to give. How do you move beyond survival and into that place, as this broken person I still have something to offer."-Sarah Schlichte Sanchez

You want to be Super-Dad and Super-Mom, you want your kids to see you as that, and when you are not living up to that it is incredibly painful."-Louis

"Lyme pain is so deep, it's indescribable, to me it is far worse than death. Its just this bone pain that is so constant."-Sarah

"The idea is is that we can have a pain and our partner can not understand that, or will not connect to it, and it is incredibly painful, it just adds burden, to the pain."- Louis

"Don't focus on the fact that your partner doesn't understand you, its not going to help you."-Louis

"If you focus on the pain that you can solve or that you can deal with, it seems like it would enable or empower you to move forward where you are not focused on something that you can't control." -Louis



 

Kids say exactly what they are thinking. Which is great for helping parents understand what Lyme "feels" like. Roaming pain and symptoms make it hard for parents and family members to understand some of the daily struggles they deal with.


Show Notes:
25% of Lyme patients are kids
Headaches are common place

Philosophy
In today's world we are exposed to more and more toxic chemicals and additives in our food supply, the air we breathe and the water we drink. Over time, these chemicals and toxins accumulate in our body tissues and, if not removed, can lead to more serious health problems.
Through colonics you can assist your body in removing toxic waste out of the colon. This also reduces the toxic burden on our liver, kidney, blood stream and lymphatic systems.
Colonics are not just for those with serious health concerns; they are an amazing tool for the prevention of

• colds,
• flu,
• allergies,
• fever,
• and PMS

Training
Jeanette Joyce is an I-ACT certified colon hydrotherapist who has been active in the field of colonics for sixteen years. She practiced in Long Island, New York for six years before moving to New Mexico where she is the owner of Rio Cleansing Therapy in Rio Rancho.
She became convinced of the value of colon hydrotherapy after her own experiences with parasites and Candida albicans (systemic yeast overgrowth) lead her to seek out colonic therapy which greatly accelerated her own healing.
Jeanette emphatically believes in the practice of colon hydrotherapy and feels that because a majority of illnesses originate in a toxic colon, healing can take place only when the colon is kept clean and free of toxins. She has a passionate interest in others and a desire to help her clients in their healing journey. Her goal is to provide a clean and safe environment for the comfort and well being of her clients.

Join us a Phil explains the sense of desperation that exists in many homes as they try to manage everyday tasks. Many people take for granted the ability to walk out of their home and go to work. Because people suffering from Lyme disease have very little control over how they feel, they are often unable to complete basic tasks around the house or in caring for their kiddos. You live in chaos because you never know when the pain will further immobilize you. Nor do you know when or if your fatigue levels will escalate into the unbearable category. Oh yeah; and while all this is going on, you also need to maintain your marriage?
