They have a spray for surfaces, a laundry additive, and a candle proven by Real Time labs. I figured it was worth sharing in case you are stuck in mold temporarily and/or moving out of it and have fear when you move to a new place. I appreciate the company who has generously done giveaways in

I openly admit that I found this on my own and dug in deep as I love food as medicine. I figure why not add some of my research here. I will get my doctor's opinion and add what he says tomorrow. (Update: he says it is amazing and I should keep taking daily). I did find it mentioned in a slide show for a presentation from a known Lyme doctor while I was researching. But I couldn't figure out how to include that. Would love to see who else uses it? I bought the best organic fr

You can get 25% off on Takuna here : Us.fullscript.com/welcome/theriseabovelyme Although my doctor uses many things to help me including monolaurin and Olive leaf, I felt when he added Takuna that it made a big difference.

It's interesting because I had to space out how often I took it because I was feeling bad. But when I adjusted Zinc, I improved. I put info on that at bottom. 25% off Zinc here. Search
