It’s Time to Take the Fear out of Chronic Lyme Disease

July 22, 2019 Brenda Cosentino

So you’ve got Chronic Lyme Disease? Your whole body aches and you feel weak, stiff and exhausted. Maybe you also have rashes, swollen painful joints, headaches, migraines, dizziness, sleep disturbances, cognitive decline, brain fog, sensitivity to light with fevers that come and go.  I personally also had problems with my eyesight, liver and intestinal pain, anemia, severe digestive issues, and extreme mood swings. I was housebound and bedridden for extended periods of time. I couldn’t remember my address or my son’s middle name at a doctor’s appointment. It was dire and I planned my funeral in the spring of 2014.

I had been chronically ill for over 20 years, and doctors could not find the root cause of my issues. Doctor after doctor did not believe I was sick and continued to prescribe antidepressants, mood stabilizers, pain killers and laxatives. I began researching how to heal my body naturally from all illness. After years of study,  trial and error, I found the solution to my longstanding chronic issues. I didn’t just have Lyme Disease but I also had hypoglycemia, severe nutrient deficiencies, chemically induced bipolar disorder and severe anxiety. I have been in complete remission since November 2014. My medical diagnoses were Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and finally Lyme Disease.

 

There is hope! Many are healing and you don’t have to spend a fortune!

 

Your body is the most magnificent machine that you will ever own! Give it everything that it needs to heal and function optimally and you too will recover.

Don’t listen to all of the hopeless testimonies on the internet. I have spent the last few days on a few of the groups I used to frequent when I was sick. Sadly 6 years later I see many of the old users still there. These people are still sick themselves and offering advice to newcomers. Many of these well-intentioned persons have formed a kind of elite group that is not always giving the best advice. Unfortunately, many that have healed themselves have moved on.

Lyme Disease, like diabetes, heart disease and cancer are merely symptoms of a body out of balance. We are having an explosion of chronic illness. Why? We have to ask why we got sick and others are perfectly fine even after numerous tick bites, cat scratches, mosquito and spider bites.

5 Steps to Recover Your Health

1/ Change the terrain of your body

2/ Correct nutrient deficiencies

3/ Remove toxins

4/ Gently kill Lyme and other chronic infections with herbs and natural remedies that won’t harm your beneficial gut flora

5/ Maintenance phase for continued great health

This is the non-medical approach that has kept me in complete remission for 4.5 years. I have been working as a health coach for over 4 years. Many of my clients have healed using this simple common sense approach to healing.  A few have gone on to become health coaches themselves. It is important to find the cause of your illness so a solution can be implemented. This is not a quick fix, and will require you to change many areas of your life. But the result of all of this hard work is real and lasting recovery.  Here is a good summary of all that I did to recover my health.

10 Things you Should Fear!

1/ Eating a high sugar processed food diet

2/ Cigarette smoking, vaping, alcohol abuse

3/ Taking all kinds of pharmaceutical drugs

4/ Using all kinds of toxic beauty products and hair dyes 

5/ Living in a moldy house, and other environmental toxins 

6/ Having a mouthful of toxic silver amalgam mercury fillings

7/ Not drinking enough quality water to stay hydrated

8/ Dealing with continuous stress

9/ Avoiding the sun – Vitamin D deficiency

10/ Staying in toxic relationships

Here are 10 things to remember while you are healing yourself naturally.

Don’t get discouraged! Don’t give up! Reversing chronic illness takes time! Stay the course! Many of us have done it and are enjoying the best health of our entire lives!

 

Blessings and Best of Health!

The Long Road Back! How I overcame 20 years of Chronic Illness Naturally!

By 2007, my health had reached an all-time low. I was given a chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia diagnosis. I was on heavy psychiatric medications for bipolar disorder, major anxiety, chronic migraines and post-traumatic stress disorder. Most days I relied on painkillers for my increasing levels of pain.  By this time I had been sick for over fourteen […]

18 Months of Lyme Disease Recovery/Remission

I still have days where I can’t believe I am Lyme Disease free. I just returned from a one week backpacking trip to Palenque and San Cristobal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico. I climbed every single one of the ruins pictured above. It was a full 9 hour day of ruins, rivers, jungle treks, swimming […]

Super Healthy Green Smoothie

This was the game-changer for me while fighting Lyme and Co-Infections, CFS/Fibro and 20 years of chronic illness. My hair tissue analysis revealed several minerals that were very low despite eating a conventional Paleo diet for the first few years. This is the most nutrient-dense breakfast that I have found so far. It is packed […]

Lyme Disease and Parasites Love Sugar

Sugar was my drug of choice long after I quit drinking alcohol. Well….that and caffeine, but we’ll leave that for another time. My favorite dessert has always been a chocolate brownie with lots of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and strawberries. I mean, who can top that?  Back in the day, I wouldn’t pass up […]

Nutrient Deficiencies and Chronic Infections

Nutritional deficiencies and chronic infections go hand-in-hand. Each perpetuates the other in a never-ending vicious cycle. After many years, I discovered that both need to be addressed simultaneously in order for the recovery of health. The image below is my first hair test, from December 8th, 2011.  Prior to this test I had been sick […]

Parasites- A Serious Co-infection of Lyme Disease

Let’s face it.  No one wants to consider the fact that they might have worms. It is not only repulsive, but we live in a society that tells us this cannot be a problem here in North America. With today’s sanitation and standard of living, we are never taught about routine parasite cleansing. Years ago, […]

Success with Buhner’s Protocol for Lyme Disease

In May 2014 I picked out my coffin and was planning my funeral. I had been sick for almost 20 years and was also battling a serious kidney infection on top of the Lyme disease and co-infections. I was given a chronic fatigue/fibro diagnosis many years prior to this. After I was finally diagnosed with […]

The Life of a Lyme Sufferer

I lost the ability to work in 2004 and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. This was one of the lowest and darkest times of my life.  I lost my career, country dream home and most of my hope. Worst of all I lost countless precious years with my children. I was having so many health […]

Beet Kvass – Liver Cleanser and Blood Tonic

Every culture around the world has their own fermented foods that they regularly consumed for good health.  My ancestors from Ukraine understood the many restorative properties of beet kvass. This Lacto-fermented, probiotic-rich tonic is made from beets. This is one of my probiotic staples that I don’t like to be without. This is one of […]
