I was supposed to be on
@goodmorningamerica this week. The appearance was slated to be an opportunity to tell the story of dealing with a chronic illness - recognizing it, difficulties in diagnosis and the long, arduous road to discovering relief. I’ve been working with
@sunlightensaunas and they had arranged the appearance. A couple of days prior to shooting the piece, GMA cancelled the opportunity. It seems GMA strictly adheres to American Medical Association policies and those policies do not recognize Lyme as a chronic condition, nor do they believe Infrared Sauna or Bee Venom Therapy (something I’ve found value in through
@thehealhive) to be valid forms of treatment.
Candidly, I often wonder about Chronic Lyme as well - maybe it is just another “catch all” like chronic fatigue or irritable bowel, diagnosed by doctors as a means of delivering something to begin treatment against, something mostly likely requiring the life long use of a pharmaceutical or supplement regimen meet...
