WAVE 1 DEVICE
I'm still testing this device, but I feel herxing when I increase it and stopped napping 6 days a week. So far, I'm leaning towards the opinion that it kinda works. 7 months to actually know in my opinion and according to my research. I'm not even halfway. Save 10% with code RISEABOVE . I use it every single day. It was expensive and I saved for almost 2 years and used Christmas and birthdays to help get it. Here is my post where I talk about why I bought it and my updates on


WATER FILTRATION
Christina Christensen and I notice this topic is coming up often, so we wanted to find some information for you. Christina actually had her water source fined because of what was in it! Water Filter Information: https://www.ewg.org/research/ewgs-2024-guide-countertop-water-filters "PFAS have leached their way into our water, soil, food, and air. Unfortunately, some level of PFAS can be found just about everywhere. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently released r


SPEECH / VOICE ISSUES / VOCAL CORDS / DYSARTHRIA
“Lyme can affect the nerves that are responsible for controlling the muscles in the vocal cords,” says Amesh A. Adalja, MD, an infectious disease specialist at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security. “As a result, someone could technically lose their voice if they had Lyme disease.” https://danielcameronmd.com/can-lyme-disease-cause-speech-issues "This report presents a case of dysarthria due to hypoglossal nerve mono-neuropathy as the only consequence of neuroborreliosis."

VAGUS NERVE
"One pathway that links all three of these elements (infection, inflammation, nervous system) together is called the vagus nerve. And one theory gaining recognition is the vagus nerve infection hypothesis, first proposed by Harvard neuroscientist Michael VanElzakker in 2013. (VanElzakker, 2013)" https://www.lymedisease.org/post-infectious-fatigue-vagus-nerve "More and more evidence in recent years is helping us understand this lesser-known bodily system and how it controls in

VERTIGO and DIZZINESS
Vertigo and dizziness can be caused from many things when it comes to Lyme. Anemia, ear issues, nerves, neurological issues and more. Many of these diseases and POTS can be behind this symptom. In the medical field dizziness and vertigo are two completely separate symptoms. Dizziness is a feeling of dark, balance issues occurring when you change your position from lying to sitting or from sitting to standing up. Your balance feels off. This symptom may last from a few seconds


TURMERIC / CURCUMIN
Christina Christensen and I are always working on requested topics. Here is a new one for you. "Laboratory experiments suggest curcumin is a potent anti-inflammatory, a strong anti-oxidant, and an effective anti-microbial against bacteria, viruses, yeast, and even parasites. It can decrease pain, limit Herxheimer Die-off reactions, decrease brain injury and damage, and may kill Lyme and co-infection germs. It may boost the immune system by lowering excess inflammation cyto


TUDCA
Several brands available at 25% off at: Us.fullscript.com/welcome/theriseabovelyme "Even more confusing, your body makes UDCA and then converts it to TUDCA later on.

TRANSMISSION of LYME, BABESIA and BARTONELLA
In groups, you will often hear different opinions and speculations on how these diseases are transmitted outside of tick bites. Now most anyone can easily miss a tick bite so keep that in mind. The bite is painless and with some being so tiny, they can easily feed and get off without the victim ever seeing it. Many people and sources often say the word "Potential", so no proof yet basically. Research is always ongoing and as scientific proof comes out we will share it. For no


TRACE MINERALS
Sourcing minerals from food is the absolute best way to get what our bodies need. We can supplement the ones that aren't found easily or in high amounts in our food. We don't necessarily agree with everything below but are just providing the links because a lot of the info is relevant and helpful to understanding the importance of balancing your minerals when you are chronically ill. We also feel lyme patients should check manganese and zinc levels in particular on blood wor
