The Silver Lyming

In this episode, I am joined by one of the brightest lights I know. Debbie has overcome multiple health challenges, which is nothing unfamiliar to those in the Lyme world, such as a brain tumor, cervical and ovarian cancer. Whether the other ailments stem from Lyme or not is what can be hard to say with Lyme. In my opinion, our immune systems are rendered next to useless, so I feel it leaves us susceptible to other issues popping up more readily. At any rate, Debbie has overcome so much and is a true inspiration to know and I always smile when I see her posts pop up on Facebook. Debbie was incapacitated by Lyme/TBI for ten years after three years of seeking answers, and has tried many things over the years to heal herself, ultimately understanding the value in nutrition and food to help her body. She also had her breasts implants removed and found a lot of relief in her symptoms once they were out. She struggled with the "disease to please" and talks much more about that and the negative impact that can have on your health. Listen as she dives deep into this and other topics like urine therapy and the need to love yourself.

I had the chance to interview Dr. Morgan Camp, a functional and integrative medicine expert who is a better doctor because of his own personal experience with Lyme, not once, but twice and has healed himself and leads a full and active life. This episode is full of insight and wisdom into how to heal the body, mind, and spirit, as Dr. Camp realizes the way to heal is not one simple fix. I think one of the biggest aha moments is when he touches on #lymedisease being related to parasitic behavior in self. Dr. Camp calls this "the hero's journey" and hearing his story, you will understand why. Please like and share this episode so others can hear it and be inspired too💚 If you are interested in contacting Dr. Camp, please visit his website at drmorgancamp.com. He believes in getting to the root cause of peoples' ailments to truly help them heal. Doctors like him are invaluable because he gets the body, mind, and spirit connection and is willing to look at all sides to help guide his patients to their optimal health. #thesilverlyming #healed #healing #lymedisease #tickbornedisease #findthegood #lyme #annedesjardins #drmorgancamp #hope

I am thrilled to be launching this podcast featuring survivors of Lyme Disease and Tick-born Illness. Being sick is no fun, but for those of us who have experienced chronic illness, we learn that it can be a blessing in disguise or tackling fuel for something greater. We often find the silver lining of Lyme Disease, hence the title The Silver Lyming. My hope is that these stories will help those who are still healing find greater hope that they will heal too. Jessica is someone I have met through Lyme Disease. She founded a nonprofit in March of 2020 called "Partner in Lyme" to help support those going through healing emotionally and to be able to give some financial assistance to those trying to pay for treatment in the state of CT. She became involved with Lyme advocacy because her daughter contracted Lyme, but unfortunately, Jessica has now also contracted Lyme and TBI. I enjoyed this episode because Jessica touches on so many great ideas like how fatigue and sickness can be normalized so how many people are actually sick and do not realize it? She also discusses the importance of truly believing you are healing/healed, which seems to be a core component of getting better that I am noticing in the multiple interviews I have conducted thus far. We give each other hope and it is immensely important to connect with others who are going through this. Partner in Lyme is a 501c3 that serves CT residents; they gift $1,000 to help provide the extra money necessary to heal in body, mind, and spirit. Jessica hosts an event called "Art with Heart" to raise funds for her organization. This year it is May 18, 2023 from 6-730pm EST. Please visit her website, partnerinlyme.org or call 203-650-7380 for more info. The mission of the organization is: To carry the burden of Lyme. The vision is: To be an organization that cares for its people beyond the cashing of a check and their values are: Service--Compassion--Integrity Aside from financial assistance, the organization also sends monthly greeting cards for gift recipients to encourage them on their way, holiday hope bags, discounts to local businesses, tick testing reimbursement, and weekly support groups. If you are able, please donate to her group. They are providing an invaluable service to those afflicted with Lyme/TBI. #thesilverlyming #healed #healing #lymedisease #tickbornedisease #findthegood #lyme #annedesjardins #partnerinlyme #radicalremission Book recommendation from Jessica which I devoured in about three days: Radical Remission by Kelly A Turner: https://radicalremission
