Lymestop Story
I got an insect bite, that I assume was a tick, in early summer, 3 years ago near Leavenworth, WA. I never saw the tick, but got a faint bullseye shaped rash on my leg. I thought it could be Lyme- but shook it off as nothing- it went away and I felt fine.
We had had a huge day hiking to and climbing Prusik Peak that weekend and I definitely wasn’t checking my body much for ticks or even thinking of them as we were hiking, scrambling, and climbing. I had ventured off trail a couple of times for bathroom breaks, and trail navigation to the base of the climb and believe this is when it must have crawled onto me. Never again will I wear short shorts to hike in the wilderness.
The mosquitos were also quite severe that day- I got hundreds of bites. They were biting our hands as we climbed and I wondered if it could have been mosquito transmission of lyme, but that is extremely rare.
Things seemed okay for a month or two after, but then symptoms started to emerge. First- things started showing up as feeling more anxious and just generally feeling pretty taxed. My skin got really dry, hair started thinning, and then depression sunk in. I checked my bloodwork and hormones, but nothing came back notable to explain my symptoms.
Then began the deep fatigue. I hadn’t felt that tired since I had a newborn baby.And I was sleeping fine- getting a solid 8-9hours a night.
Migraines started- at least 2 per month.
I just generally didn’t feel like myself. I knew something was wrong.
Neck stiffness, joint pain, incessant eye twitches.
The next year and a half I really felt awful. Gained weight because of exercise intolerance, headaches, more irritability than is normal, bouts of more depression, and fatigue that made my bones feel like concrete and my blood like sludge. I would always say- “my cells feel tired.” I just thought maybe I’m stressed, or it’s school, or life, or hormones. But deepdown I could feel something wasn’t right.
Fast forward to May 2025 and I finally decided to test for it with a western blot test. It came back positive for exposure to lyme, as I had suspected.
I tried herbal protocols, which helped some, (Japanese knotweed, cats claw, Chinese skullcap) but they dried me up like a prune. I felt so constipated, dry, and sometimes the herbs would make me herx where I’d feel extra tired and worn out from detoxing anything that the herbs were killing. I sauna’ed regularly, rested, ate healthy, and kept my fingers crossed that I could clear it out of my system. But it just didn’t seem like it was gone completely.
I couldn’t count on my energy, it was 50/50 for good and bad days at that point. I was feeling a bit defeated with it all.
My dear friend who had battled lyme for the past 15 years recommended I look into an alternative treatment called Lymestop. The doctor practices out of coeur dalene Idaho and I booked my appt shortly after doing some research.
Even as someone who entirely believes in natural and alternative healing modalities, I have to admit, I felt skeptical that this would actually work. His method uses craniobiotic therapy and muscle testing to identify and treat the areas of the body with magnets.
To my absolute AWE and shock….
It worked.
I physically felt a reaction in my body shortly after each of my treatments. Miraculous, honestly. I'm still in the detox process (they say it can take 3-12 months for full recovery) and I've only had one significant fatigue day, but that came on the heels of a long travel day.
Sharing my story for hopes of it finding and helping the right person.
