My story began in 2020. I had the summer flu in August, and of course,e it was COVID World. I didn't even think anything of it. I live on a farm. I've had tick bites—at least three over the years. My kids have all had tick bites, and we don't have Lyme disease in Georgia. What happened, though, was that after that summer flu, within 60 days, I lost the ability to walk. I needed a cane. Then, on really bad days, I needed a walker. I could not work. I was passing out, working with my patients. I'm a healthcare provider and reluctantly wound up at the ER at Emory in Atlanta in October. I spent five days there in their neurology ward, and they ruled out all the big, scary stuff. They ruled out tumors and all other forms of cancer. They ruled out EMFs; my migraines at that point were about an eight out of ten lumbar puncture. I had all of it. After five days, they gave me some migraine medication and a prescription for a wheelchair, and they released me with no answers. I'm fortunate enough because I'm in the healthcare world down here. I knew a functional medicine doctor. I reached out to her, and I said, Nobody knows me; nobody knows what's going on. She goes, Christi, we do have Lyme in Georgia. Don't let anyone tell you we don't. I think you have neurological Lyme. She gave me a clinical diagnosis of neuro-borreliosis and gave me 60 days of doxycycline to give it a go. Within 60 days, I was walking, but I had migraines. We went after those next. I did the IV in two weeks of IV-Rocephin, and the migraines were better. Kind of sat for a little bit with that. Well, by April, everything had returned. I was back with a walker. I was back with the migraines, and I started having tremors. My head would tremor, and my hands would tremor. I got lost two miles from home, with the brain fog being as severe as it had gotten at this point. I had lost my practice, and I was spending hours and hours in bed. I was probably out of bed for two hours a day. I reached back out to her, and she said, We have to go after this. We're going to throw the kitchen sink at it. I want you to read the study. She forwarded me your October 2020 double dose dapsone protocol, and it looked scary as hell, to be honest with you. I said, Let's do it. I have to save my life. We're going to save my life. What I loved about your protocol was that not only was it all of these medications and pills, but it also supported my system while I was going through it. When you get cancer treatment, they don't give you all the vitamins to help your body stay strong during the process. You did with your protocol. between the leucovorin and the methylene blue and the three strains of probiotics, not one. My life is on the Glutathione, and it helped my body process it all. I will admit that at the three-and-a-half-week mark of the double-dose dapsone protocol, I begged my husband to let me quit. I begged my doctor to let me quit. I didn't think I could do it. It was very hard. I had a lot of herxing, and they wouldn't let me quit. I was halfway there, they said. Fast forward, and I finished. I did wind up with a lot of methylene blue, and I had an oxygen tank for two weeks. but I am in remission, so that was all May and June of 2021. I am in remission. I'm working again. I'm riding my horses again. I wrote a book. I wrote a book about my story and your treatment. Because I went through a period where there was no hope. I want the world. I want Georgia, and all the doctors here to know that we do have Lyme and that we can treat it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I'm so blessed to get to finally meet you and talk with you today because you saved my life. Thank you.

Hello. My name is Dr. Richard Horowitz, and I'm the co-host of the Free Online Healing From Lyme Disease Summit by DrTalks sponsored from June 4th to 10th, 2024. During our summit, we are going to share with you the stories of 18 people who got their lives back with Dapsone Combination Therapy. You're about to hear one of those stories, which for me is particularly wonderful since, according to Christi, I saved her life. Yet I never met her. She is a health care practitioner living in Georgia, a state that, according to her, supposedly has no Lyme disease. Suddenly, in 2020, she couldn't walk, she couldn't work, and she ended up in the hospital in a neuro ward. The best diagnoses she was given were migraines and a prescription for a wheelchair. As you'll hear, she did Ibuprofen and relapsed, needing a walker, and continued to have tremors, migraines, and disorientation with severe brain fog. She was in bed most of the day. In October 2020, after her doctor read my publication in the journal, Antibiotics in 2020, she decided to try dapsone combination therapy. Her doctor followed the protocol that was published in the journal, and eventually, she got better and went into remission. Despite all the pills she had to take, which helped support her system during the protocol, Christi is now in full remission, so please listen to her story of hope, and you can read her story and her book. Let me tell you a story. She makes it.
