your journey
The truth is that chronic illness is a very personal issue - and often a lonely path. The solution that helps one person may do little to help someone else.
This fact is frustrating and is what keeps us searching for better ways to help you find YOUR solutions.
Well-meaning physicians can misdiagnose when you don't fit into a well-known diagnostic box. So our mission for Toxins & Chronic Illness: Lyme, Mycotoxins, and Environmentally Acquired Illness is to help you, your family and health practitioners better understand the multiplicity of triggers that can lead to chronic disease.
Take control of your health journey today.
Join us to uncover personalized solutions and empower yourself with the knowledge to address the unique triggers behind chronic disease.

a new approach for chronic illness
Have you been experiencing symptoms for longer than 3 months?
More than likely, present symptoms are often no longer directly related to the inciting causes. It is now time to evaluate and assign relative weights to the different issues:
- What are the multiple layers contributing to your illness and which ones need to be addressed first for you?
- Is your problem less Lyme Disease and more so other hidden infections?
- Is there significant Mast Cell Activation and minimal issues with detox? Is it the opposite, both or neither?
- Is viral activation impactful in your case?
- Is your mold-related illness related to colonization, toxins, allergies, or all three?
- Are your heavy metal levels a causative factor in your illness?
- Is your environment toxic, and how are your genes helping or hurting your ability to detox?
