I hired you in 2018 to help me dig out of a health situation and you changed my life.
The health shift to natural moved me forward into what then became a spiritual awakening. I’m doing big things for world peace now and natural healing. You are part of my story and you met me at my lowest point in life.
You probably don’t remember me but I was 210 pounds and loaded with parasites and health issues. I sobbed when you told me to eat more and do intermittent fasting. You asked me to give 2 weeks and I did. 2 weeks later I’d lost 9 pounds and felt great for the first time in years. You changed my life. Today I am an ordained minister, an energy healer, natural health advocate and spiritual counselor. You owe me nothing. I am starting a 5013C for world peace and I’m going amazing things in life. Without your guidance I wouldn’t be where I am today… you were the beginning of a massive soul path journey.

She recommended Terry Wahls keto diet with specific supplements. It is now April 2021 and my health has improved immensely . I am walking , riding my bike and nearly pain free. I did not have the surgery that was recommended and my knees are doing fine. I might add I am 78 yrs. young and looking forward to many more years of living thanks to Brenda. Nancy P
Brenda, I’ve really stuck to what you told me to do, and I feel so much better. I can’t believe the improvement in my heartburn and chest pain, it’s downright amazing. My headaches are so much less and I’m barely taking Tylenol. A few days I’ve woken up with a bad headache, but I take the Tylenol/caffeine and it goes away usually within an hour. I’m up to 6 tabs of the Hydrozyme per meal, and I feel fine. Happy Holidays to you and thank you for your help. Mandy
When I first contacted Brenda, I was quite fatigued and stressed. My migratory joint paint was uncontrollable. I was nauseous after heavy meals, and I had other symptoms that just made the day feel like a burden. I felt like I was in a hopeless ditch, but then Brenda had opened up my eyes that the body can truly heal itself with the right ingredients and lifestyle. She went above and beyond going through specific needs that were unique to my body. I soon started to feel the difference after following her guidance and instructions. My skin cleared up, I barely have joint pain now, and my energy went up. It is not every day you meet someone who can change your life for the best. I want to say thank you, Brenda—truly, for giving me hope again. Alycia B
Brenda, when I found out I had chronic Lyme for 15 years I followed your blog. Here I’m today 6 months later “Lyme FREE” healthy and happy… Thanks to you♡♡♡
Detox, paleo diet, herbs, and gentle exercise worked for me I was very strict about it! Nancy
After 23 years of Morgellons lesions consistently on my body Brenda CURED me! I have been symptom-FREE for several weeks now. No more bumps, lesions, sudden electrical shocks or creepy skin crawling feeling etc. I have endured 23 years of this nightmare disease and after only 3.5 months with Brenda, it’s GONE. Do the diet….take the supplements…listen to her( I am a consult client) and you too can HEAL! Laura W
Brenda’s ability to assess underlying health conditions is uncanny. Her guidance was a critical step in my recovery from a debilitating EBV infection. Her diet and supplement recommendations were instrumental in my healing. But so was her way of holding space, filled with active listening and compassion. GF
Amazing and very effective protocol, using Brenda’s herbal de-wormer. I also picked up Wahls Paleo along with a few supplements, and the difference is drastic. I am very grateful and I feel like I don’t have to look any further for any mystery cure. Brenda’s protocol has been my answer and her consulting has been a game changer. Erna K
Brenda is a SERVANT for good in the world. Her blog has played a huge part in my healing. Both the information and the inspiration. Faith, moving out of my moldy house, anti-parasite/ Lyme herbs, filtered water, and soooo many vegetables have already returned me to a functional level of health (after not being able to make it to the grocery store and having seizures), and I’m continuing to improve every month!! Thanks, Brenda for the hope that you are. Amory W
I have been greatly improved by following many of Brenda’s precepts over the last year. All of my family saw my health improve and commented on how much it made a difference to my physical well being. Brenda is kind enough to share so much useful information for no charge on her website and her posts. Many people wouldn’t be so generous but she has a true compassion for others who feel poorly. Natalie R
Once again, thank you so much. Your dewormer literally saved my life. I was sick my entire life. I am 46 now and never before I felt as good as I am feeling now. You are my Angel. I hope so much that you will be able to help my son as well. Kindest regards, Nadia Z
Brenda put me on a path to cleanse for worms, candida and introduced me to the Paleo Diet and genius Stephen Buhner’s Lyme Protocol. Thank you for sharing your journey, Brenda! You are doing important work. Chelsea A
Hello Brenda, I am writing to tell you that you saved my life, literally. On January 10th, 2018 I wrote love letters to my husband and 2 teenage daughters because I thought I would not wake up the next day. I had just had my second blood clot in my PICC line that day from IV antibiotics that I had been on for 4 months and was in excruciating pain and my body felt like it was on the verge of a seizure 24 hours a day. In the middle of the night after I wrote my love letters I was searching the internet and stumbled on to your website. You gave me HOPE, the hope that I desperately needed because all along I have felt that my traditional lyme treatments were not working for me and I don’t agree with pharmaceuticals so it went against everything I stood for. I had been making my own kombucha and fermented vegtables and even drinking home grownwheat grass to give my body anything natural that could possibly help. I had my PICC line removed last Thursday due to continuing problems with it. I just ordered all of my herbs to start the Bowel Cleanse next week. I would love to get a consult from you. Our stories align in so many ways, you are my soul sister and I thank god that I found your website. Thank you for sharing your experience and giving people with late-stage chronic Lyme hope. I have been eating Wahls Paleo for 4 weeks now and I feel better just from that alone. I just turned 46 yesterday and I want my life back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Brenda for sharing your life so that others can heal. I would love to do a Skype session. Please sign me up! Heather M
Hi Brenda, I just wanted to reach out and thank you for taking your time to blog your experience, and for also helping me directly in our few sessions . I kept following the program that you laid out for me, and was able to have my own healing. Although my adventures are not quite like yours yet, because my kids are still at home, I am happy to say that I am able to go on mini adventures with my family. So you didn’t stop hearing from me because the program didn’t work, but because it did work. I still read about your adventures (and follow the program) and now as an avid hiker myself, maybe someday our paths will cross. With heartfelt thanks, Kim G
I have had the pleasure of working with Brenda Cosentino of Real Food Rebel since August 2018. At the age of 34, I was bitten by a tick in June 2015 and developed Lyme disease and babesiosis symptoms within a month. I went from being in great health (running frequently, rarely sick) to feeling constantly fatigued and short of breath, along with swiftly developing a wide array of strange and scary symptoms. I took a range of antibiotics over 1.5 years, then continued with herbal treatments (Byron Whites and the Cowden Protocol) for the following 1.5 years. Most, if not all, of my tick-borne disease symptoms had cleared up by mid-2018.
However, from mid-2017 to late 2018, I was dealing with a whole new set of issues: Recurring strep throat, and a very weakened immune system. In addition, in spite of being sugar-free and gluten-free for 3 years, my tummy was always bloated, and I had continuous candida symptoms from long-term antibiotic use. When I came to Brenda, I basically had a constant sore throat, and felt very fatigued, like I was continually fighting an infection. I felt my only recourse was a tonsillectomy since my body wasn’t handling the infection.
Now, 7 months since starting to work with Brenda, my immune system has improved drastically. I am down to 1 week of fighting the sore throat each month, and the rest of the time, I have energy, I sleep well, I don’t have weird blood-sugar highs and lows, my skin is clear, my stomach isn’t bloated, and I no longer have brain fog. I know I am healing, and I believe that I will get back to full health!
Brenda has excellent suggestions for diet, supplements, and natural medicines. I have been following her advice very closely, and feel incredibly blessed to be making such great progress. I feel that my body is finally starting to work again the way it’s supposed to. Thank God for Brenda and her wonderful insights! In the world of health, in which there are many nutritionists offering advice, I feel that Brenda is truly one in a million: Her goal is not just to help you “get by” with illness, but to actually make you FULLY healthy again. I have met too many practitioners who no longer believe that vibrant health is a possibility; with Brenda, her belief is that with the right diet, supplements, and lifestyle, you CAN fully reclaim your energy and vitality. I highly recommend consulting with Brenda to improve your health and your life! Jamie G
Brenda’s program really works and I look forward to our consults. The diet itself does a lot of the heavy lifting in clearing out and healing the body. I’ve completed a month of it and my energy level is through the roof. If you are suffering I highly recommend reading ALL of Brenda’s online material and hiring her if she is taking on new clients. Laura W
I found your site online. I have Lyme disease and was misdiagnosed 20 years. I was drugged unnecessarily got a psyche label and fibromyalgia. I am an RN and it disabled me. I am in my fifth year of treatment and slowly healing. 14 months all drug-free. I am on a paleo gluten-free low histamine diet. Your story is so much like my own. I love Cancun and when I saw that you lived near there had the blog and page here it so gave me hope. You also opened my eyes to how I could live comfortably on a low income in another country. I so miss the sun so I was just so drawn to your website. I plan to follow it and learn all I can. So happy for you you are a survivor and a hero. Keep giving us all your inspiration and hope. Your site is great! Thank you !! Jackie M
Brenda, you are amazing! Thank you so much. Thank you for your fight, thank you for your strength, for all the advice and knowledge, for the positivity, for the bright example for the rest of us, for everything! I’m so glad I found you and your website. I’m 24, working full time, thankful to breathe, walk, and work, struggling the struggle, fighting the fight, and it’s strong, persistent people like you who keep me going. Seeing you smiling and in full health in your photos makes me want to tear up because it gives me hope. Be healthy and well! Best of luck to you with all your endeavors! You’re amazing! Yekaterina
We spoke on skype once before and you told me to add meat because I was withering away lol I did and it helped. Yes, it helped and my energy is back to about 95% just experiencing a little brain fog still. Jess R
Thank you, Brenda. I am having such a lovely day. I haven’t felt this good in years. Treatment is working! To everyone struggling today, hang in and keep striving for health. May God bless us with health and peace. 💚 MF
Couldn’t have done it without your story and website!!!! Glad to finally be able to tell you! You were with me in some of my darkest hours and you didn’t even know. Juanita
I have been living with very chronic Lyme for seven years. Finding your site has given me hope I haven’t had for a long time. May God deeply, deeply bless you! Christine
I just want to thank you for doing this Blog. I found you at the depths of my despair about my son’s health and my own, a couple years ago. We are both now much better, in part because of your blog. It served as a confirmation of what I had read elsewhere and your shining health gave me the hope I needed. I now visit your blog from time to time just to see what is new. With deep gratitude, Thia R
Great story on your recovery, Brenda! Your blog helped me take control of my own health! Not where you are yet, but doing much better! Thanks for sharing! Wylmetta
I have come across your blog while doing research regarding Lyme disease, which I have been newly diagnosed with. I wanted to let you know that you are truly inspirational. I have been searching for answers for hours/days/months. Your site is so helpful, honest and informative. Thank you for sharing. It is a true blessing. Andrea
I can’t even begin to tell you just how much your website has given me hope and courage to keep fighting and not give up! I hope that you have an INCREDIBLE day today. God bless you richly for the gift of healing counsel you have offered freely to us! Marilyn H
After 1,5 year of natural treatment, I’m about 95% recovered! I’m SO happy with my success ant determined to make it a 100%. Your blog has been and continues to be a big source of inspiration and motivation. Thank you so much, you have no idea how much it has helped me mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Lynn G
Thank you for this blog. I have been in treatment and on so many medications since I began trying to recover from trauma and comorbid issues. It is now 16 years later and the cocktails of drugs never helped. I believe they made and kept me sick. I have ended up agoraphobic housebound 3 years and in the last year general malaise and no sense of well being. I developed allergies, aches and was getting no answers from doctors beyond prescriptions for allergy relief. I began to consider my nutrition and went through similar steps. I started on a vegan gf diet with all the fruit and vegetables I can afford. I have been allergy free, well rested and serene. I was researching other nutritional views that could further benefit my wellness when I read your blog. I had to message to share how right you are. Modern psychiatry and neuro pharmaceuticals are not healing people, pills are not the answer while ignoring what nourishes our brains. I hope my body can heal from the toxicity I put it through in ignorance. Please keep sharing your experiences as so many should be aware of how we can better care for and heal ourselves.
I wish you the enjoyment of your reclaimed life and hope my own healing continues, I will take up the personal care skin products advice. May God and life bless you. Carissa
Hi Brenda, I just came across your website this past week. Thank you so much for sharing all of your experiences with working towards your state of vibrant health. I am so grateful for all your hard work. It is such a gift to be able to share your blog with patients who are suffering and feeling lost and overwhelmed. Blessings and continued good health to you. Warmly, Dr. Jacinta Willems ND
You are a game changer. It was your blog that I found most inspirational when I was at my worst and on antibiotics. Your blog is what made me quit and switch to Buhner. That was what finally helped me heal. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with others. I have directed many others to your page for guidance. Thank you ! Thank you! Thank you! Joyce K
I’m writing just to say congratulations and that I wish you great success with your nutritional course. Almost a year and a half ago, I had chronic fatigue among many, many other ailments. My Drs in the UK couldn’t help and so I did what so many others who suffer from chronic disease do, I searched the Internet for natural remedies. Yours was one of the first blogs I came across and I read all your info inside out a few times. I’m very grateful for the info you have provided and was happy for you, and me, to learn about how you had managed to properly heal yourself. I’ve also signed up to a Nutritional course in the U.K starting Oct this year, my main aim is to learn as much as I can to help me and my kids (who also suffer from chronic disease) be healthy. Your determination has helped you come so far that I’m sure you’ll open your own get well hostel. Good luck and thanks again for putting your story out there giving the likes of me and others the courage to go against the grain of modern medicine. Mary S
Just a quick note of deep grateful thanks for how you have still kept this blog open to others and share your Lyme remedy openly and for free. My sister and I both suffer from Lyme, Babesia etc. I have over 10 tested infections. We’ve spent a year in a German clinic on heavy drugs to try to save us from ‘touch and go’… then spent 2 years on oral antibiotics etc and then 2 years on Buhner. We could never get much better than at least not being bed-bound. I had two more acute drops and could feel my body giving up. I knew I might die this time around. I prayed… asking God to make my journey to death as peaceful as possible. Then typed in Babesia ‘cured’ and your blog came up. This was October last year. Since then my sister and I have been following your ‘Brenda Protocol’ and it really has saved my life. We are improving slowly and have you to thank. This feels different. In any case – I wanted to deeply thank you for keeping this free for others. I would never have been able to buy your advice – so if it had not been free, I would have likely been heading to the wheelchair and death. I now recommend you to EVERYONE I can find. And if I get fully well – I will trumpet your method to all. Warmest wishes and deep, deep gratitude. Katherine
Brenda started my journey to get out of the disease. She was the one who made it clear and was eloquent enough to bring to my understanding in ways no one had until that moment brought to my mind. It was like an epiphany. I have consulted with her as well on Skype finding that an extremely useful tool once some time had passed and I had specific questions that I needed her to address. I also did the hair analysis Brenda had recommended at the time I felt was right for me. That was amazing and helped streamline my supplementation. Brenda is among the most giving human beings. I believe those of us who have greatly suffered are those who are most generous with their help to others. Brenda has the best of both: knowledge through trial and error and success, and compassion because of her past. I personally thank the Lord Who gave my desperate prayers an answer through Brenda and her program. And may God bless you abundantly, Brenda!! Natalie R
Hi, Brenda! I think your story is such an inspiration to so many people and I have been sending a stream of folks to your site. Because of you, I have started to make huge changes in my diet and lifestyle, and I mean just in the last ten days, but I am already feeling better. I think that many of us in our journey with this illness have “Aha” moments that steer us towards better health. Finding your site and reading what you went through was one of those moments for me. I may be back in touch at another time, John M
We spoke on skype once before and you told me to add meat because I was withering away lol I did and it helped. Yes, it helped and my energy is back to about 95% just experiencing a little brain fog still. Jess R
Brenda Cosentino, YOU WERE/ARE SOO INSPIRATIONAL and gave me soo much strength. You and one other gal that I felt led to, were my go-to’s for information. I don’t know how I could’ve kept going without constantly referring to your website, even just to remember that healing was possible… I’m going to use some of the herbals she used when I start treating for Babesia, which I likely have. Maureen L
The information in this site has been life-changing for me. Very grateful you share your findings with all who are interested. Now need to start the Buhner protocol…thanks again. Sylvie D
Hi Brenda, Hope this note finds you well and enjoying an adventure! I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for taking your time late last year to guide me in the recovery process. I have still been following your advice and staying on a strict diet (green smoothies and soup, etc.). Although it has been a long process (not a straight-line), I feel like I am getting stronger every month. I am even starting to think about returning to long-buried goals and aspirations. I don’t want to take to much of your time. However, I did not want to miss the opportunity to thank you for your guidance and let you know what a difference you have made.With gratitude! Kim G
I am so glad that you posted a recent article. I check in on your website often (especially for the Green Smoothie recipe) and I have been worried that you haven’t posted. I am still continuing to recover from Lyme’s Disease and everything that goes along with it. I am an imperfect human and am still working to consistently maintain the Wahl’s Paleo diet. I am much better but still have a long way to go. I am so thankful for the Skype consults we have had as they were so helpful to me during a time when I was so unwell. You are an inspiration and proof that with healthy living you can begin to get better without pharmaceuticals. Thank you for sharing and for caring. You are such a gift to those who are suffering and don’t often have a lot of support or resources. Many blessings, Heather
Brenda is an amazing source of inspiration for my healing journey. She is the one I think when I feel down and she was the reason I started the Buhner protocol and a clean diet. Her example is very convincing. Thank you, Brenda, for being here for us! Judit H
Brenda, I appreciate you and all you do. Paula C
Brenda is an amazing woman with a lot of courage. She is a very honest and caring individual. I am so grateful to call her my friend, spiritual sister, and family. Love her! John M
She’s personal and encouraging to us all for this journey of healing. Marisa M
This is the simplest, most straightforward source of information on holistic health recovery I know of. Lots of people talk about food as medicine. This site shares how one woman embraced the message and began to thrive. Tony C
Brenda and her blog have been a big source of inspiration for me. It gives you a very clear and simple yet effective idea of how to turn your health around using natural medicine. Brenda shares with transparency and for free everything she did to recover from 20 years of chronic illness. Every time i would get discouraged during the course of my Lyme treatment, I would read one of her articles to get hope and guidance. What a beautiful gift and wonderful woman! Thank you Adam N
One other note as I begin to work my way through your content: I’m in complete gratitude that it’s free. And frankly, I’m in awe, since it’s so valuable. If you ever decide you’d like a book, I work as a ghostwriter, and alongside an agency in NYC that could help you get a book deal. Absolutely no pressure—I’d be happy to even give you some guidance at no charge as a thank you for sharing your content and solutions so generously. Karyn P
I have only been following Brenda for 1 day and already have learned so much from her. I cannot wait till this time next year to see what progress I have made in following her Real Food Rebel program. Tami T
Her diet and nutritional expertise. The smoothie she has designed is a lifesaver and truly helps the body maintain the proper alkaline acid balance. Mark R
Her blogs have inspired me so much and I find that her way of healing is the ultimate best! Jodi Z
I stumbled on your site because my family has been dealing with pinworms on and off for years now and the medication the doctor prescribed never worked. I have done black walnut and wormwood on and off but never big doses for more than 2 weeks. I have read about people giving their kids and their families large doses of pharmaceutical parasite meds for long periods of time but as a true believer of herbs that feels too difficult for me. Enter your herbal recipe! I feel like I have been waiting for an answer like this for almost 10 years. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Shannon R
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your blogs and for answering so many of my questions and quite quickly at that. Your blogs have inspired and helped me more than any other naturopath dr. I have been to and there has been quite a few. My healing has been so much better since I started really getting to the root cause of low stomach acid from your blog along with the green smoothies and more. I feel stronger every day and have gained much-needed weight and stress has gone way down. Hugs to you and hopefully someday when we get back to Mexico I will be able to meet you in person! Jodi Z
Brenda’s warmth, knowledge, clarity, and accessibility on RFR helped me manage the complexity of Lyme one step at a time. The green smoothie changed my game, and other posts really encouraged me to continue the Buhner protocol. I had a consult with her that further solidified and personalized what I learned from her blog. Many thanks, Brenda, for putting yourself out there to share your expertise and experience in what can be an overwhelming situation. Your work is a great tool to employ against the brain fog! Many thanks, LT
Thank you so very much for your help, your blog, and website. It has saved my life, and I thank God for leading me to you. Jodi B
Thank you for sharing your lyme disease journey, it was instrumental in my son’s recovery journey. Elaine D
“This past spring I began to not feel well with various symptoms; anxiety, panic attacks, heart palpitations, insomnia, breathing issues, among others. I had issues with a sluggish thyroid, however, I was not aware that I had Hashimoto’s which I was diagnosed with in June. I considered going to a holistic doctor, but one night came across Brenda’s website. From the moment I clicked onto her story I knew that she was the healer that I needed to work with. She was so sincere and generous in providing recipes and healing plans. I am so grateful for Brenda!! At the time I began working with her, I was a complete mess and thought I might never feel like myself again. Brenda reassured me that though the protocols might be difficult to follow, I could definitely achieve my goal of becoming well again with patience and perseverance. She immediately put me on the Wahl’s Protocol diet and suggested which supplements I might take. Over the next months I felt small changes for the better, and Brenda cheered me on all the while, yet again reassuring my skeptical self that everything I was feeling was normal. Things do get worse before they get better sometimes and the healing process is no exception. I was at my wit’s end with the intensity of my symptoms at times. And, then one day, I suddenly felt like myself for a few hours, and then for a few days, and then for a few weeks! I lost sixty pounds and have another fifty to go. I feel so much better, even though there are days when my symptoms seem to reappear for briefer and less intense periods of time. I will admit that this can feel discouraging, however, Brenda has shared her healing journey with me and it seems that healing is not a linear process. That being said, joy has returned to my life, I have more energy, I am healthier, and filled with hope for a full recovery. Brenda is kind beyond measure and knowledgeable. Her approach is straightforward and uncomplicated, wholeheartedly believing in the body’s capacity to heal itself. Something as simple as a change in diet can make all the difference in the world and I could have forever run around experimenting with different diets and perhaps not seen such quick results had it not been for Brenda. I will have to stay on this diet for the remainder of my life if I am to remain healthy, but it is a small price to pay to feel well. I am forever grateful to Brenda for sharing her gifts with those of us who are seeking wellness and for sharing her story and inspiring us to not give up. It takes a lot of patience to stick with the protocols, but it really is the path to recovery! Maria G
Brenda and all her easy to follow steps to health have been amazing. I made a few changes to my personal LiViT lifestyle as recommendations from Brenda and my health has improved dramatically in a very short time. So for all the women who have been told “frequent time wake up to go the bathroom is part of menopause.” In my case, it was NOT! For the last 5 years or so I
would wake 4-5 times per night. After a couple of days of Brenda’s recommendations I wake 1 time or NOT at all. This is a Big deal..my body is now getting the rest it requires to do maintenance healing. Check out her page and book a session..seriously a game changer if you are willing to make the changes. THANK YOU Brenda.. you are amazing and are helping so many people with tons of Free content on your page and support with assessment & consults. Sharonlee L
Thank you! I’m nursing my 10-month-old and at the 5-month mark she was still screaming and refusing the breast. After doctors continued to tell me she was “normal” and “healthy” (she stopped growing and pooped blood all the time) I cut out every FODMAP and food. I got VERY sick. I thought it was candida in her and me. Five months and kidney infections later I am still sick and so is she (although she’s much better). I was so sensitive I couldn’t even take a tbsp of coconut oil or 2 probiotics. I am finally able to treat it now so I trust the diet has killed off a lot. My whole head smelled like ammonia. Enough stuff has died off now to treat and I’ve discovered we have Chronic Lyme. My mom’s mom was a carrier…Your story is healing us and giving us faith. We are a low-income family, and following your story has helped us heal so much already. We are starting with babesia because of my breastmilk, and she is responding as well. We are neuro and it’s bad. She has a lot of ticks and lost her speech after a week of amoxicillin so I threw it out and started herbs. I read your story daily. It helps. Thank you. Kendra R
Brenda! I am so thankful for all you have done to help me! You were the answer to my prayer. Jacqueline N
I met Brenda last June in Peru and she opened my eyes regarding eating well and giving your body all the nutrients it needs to function properly. I am doing let’s say more or less 75% of her steps she describes in the article and I feel so much better. On top of that, if you eat organic and try to clean yourself and your apartment organically, you also reduce a lot of unnecessary plastic. I can only recommend everyone who is interested in a healthy lifestyle to have a glimpse on what Brenda has to say. Thank you Brenda Cosentino🤗
Brenda… i came across you website in a moment of struggle with health. I’ve read your entire story and I’m finally beginning my journey with your suggestions to eradicate my parasites. I just want to say, thankyou so much for everything you are doing – your helping so many people who think that there isn’t a way forward and to see your transformation has been extremely paramount to myself let alone many other people. The world is lucky to have a woman like you and i send you ALL my love from London and wish you the best life and continual strength in the world. Thankyou for everything. Zak D
Brenda, I’ve been taking the herbs every a.m. and p.m. for almost two months (although I do them in the 00 capsules for I got to where I dreaded the straight taste). I saw my alternative Doctor yesterday and he commented on how much better I look, my hair is thickening up some, my skin is looking healthier, etc. he was trying to take credit for it since he is doing chelation IV’s and ozone on me. I told him no, that it was honestly Real Food Rebel herbal recipe I was taking for the Candida and parasites. He asked what all I was taking and when I listed them he shook his head and said that’s a great group of herbs for treating all your problems.
I thank you, and I thank God for using you as an instrument in the helping and healing of those of us who are suffering. I’ve yet to find anyone who truly understands how difficult this journey is, except for those who are on it!
Just wanted to pass along my good news story and let you know that’s it’s working for me too! I am so grateful you are doing this blog and I so look forward to all your new posts. God bless. Wendy
Brenda I’m texting you to let you know that I am so thankful for your knowledge of Lyme disease!! Without your website I never would have tried Stephen buhner protocol. I give credit to God for putting you in my path!! Thank you again for giving me back my life thank you thank you thank you!! Trevor G
I know you are enjoying a beautiful vacation but I just wanted to tell you that all your blogs are the real deal I have found more healing from you than anyone else even my naturopath I am tearing up just writing this to you now God bless you He is blessing me for sure someday when we go to Mexico for vacation again I would love to visit you I share your blog was so many people as well have a wonderful rest of your vacation looks like fun. Jodie Z
Brenda, I just wanted to say that your blog saved my life, it was my first encounter with the notion of parasites and my first treatments I got from your suggestions, thank you 
Louise M
Your blog is what turned my recovery around. I went off antibiotics which were making me sicker and onto Buhner based off reading your posts . Your spot was the first time I had heard of Buhner, and so began my research and recovery. I was probably on your blog 4-5 times every week until I felt I had a better understanding. Your journey and clear description of what you did were inspirational. Before I found your blog, I thought I was going to have to give up teaching (I had already given up coaching). Now I am full steam ahead and returned to coaching two years ago. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Four years in remission now thanks to you! Joyce K
Thank you Brenda! I stumbled across your blog several years ago while at my worst and sickest state in my lyme battle. Your blog was the first lyme blog I read that made me realize that healing and remission was a real possibility. I have since been able to heal so much using diet, herbs and parasite cleaning. I love reading all your blogs and refer back to them often. Thank you for sharing hope and healing. Keep shinning! Much love! Elisha J
Your blog is one of the things they gave me hope, when I really needed it. Lissa C
Brenda. You are the most amazing woman I have ever read about. I think you should write a book! It would be one of those you can’t put down. After reading your blog , anyone should be able to dig deep and find the strength as you did to overcome any illness. Lyme is a tough one, and the persistence and inner strength is what you need to find to keep going. I have followed so much of your advice over the years and I am about 60% through this disease. Because of you! Your blog is so inspiring. You went through so many emotions coming back to Canada- you did it and your body was able to handle the shock of it all. Kudos to you!!! 
I am actually thankful to be living here in the cold North. Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey. I am with ya about the vacks**ine!! Ha. Have a wonderful summer. It will be here soon!!

Have used your protocol for 2 years complete game changer thank you Bernadette E
After several years of seeing Naturopaths, Nutritionists and other health practitioners to help with my energy and gut issues, I stumbled on to Brenda’s website which intrigued me. Just knowing that she’s had similar issues for many years, made me feel confident that she could direct me to the right path – or at least a different one that was NOT the norm. She uses different tools for exploration of my symptoms than other health practitioners, which I really appreciated. While I am not totally healed as yet, I do have more energy, less bloating and the lichen sclerosis is 95% gone. I was told by an OBGYN that I would have to use s steroid cream (which is dangerous for long term use) for the rest of my life. There was NO mention of changing my diet or changing anything about what foods I should eliminate. I kept searching and found Brenda. Do not give up………….there are natural ways to heal. Ingrid K
Your blog is what turned my recovery around. I went off antibiotics which were making me sicker and onto Buhner based off reading your posts . Your spot was the first time I had heard of Buhner, and so began my research and recovery. I was probably on your blog 4-5 times every week until I felt I had a better understanding. Your journey and clear description of what you did were inspirational. Before I found your blog, I thought I was going to have to give up teaching (I had already given up coaching). Now I am full steam ahead and returned to coaching two years ago. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Four years in remission now thanks to you! Joyce K
Dear Brenda. I just wanted to tell you how amazing I feel. It’s barely been 2 weeks since the Rx adjustment and it’s working. You are truly gifted. Looking forward to our chat in July. Enjoy. You are a god send. Lorraine S
