Lyme Voice Radio, Discussing Your Lyme Disease Journey With Aaron & Sarah Sanchez

Today on Lyme Voice I am joined by Scott Forsgren.  In 1997 Scott was in his twenties and became violently ill.  It was the scariest thing he had ever experienced.  Overnight, his body was ravaged by an unknown illness.  He had difficulty walking, balance problems, blurred vision, low-grade fevers, rapid heart rate, burning sensations in his arms and legs, severe joint pain, nausea, digestive disturbances (we'll leave it at that), brain fog, muscle spasms, numbness, tingling, skin-hypersensitivity, motor-like tapping sensations in my hands and feet, and never-ending fatigue. Doctors and health-care professionals were baffled.  They suggested that he had Epstein-Barr virus, Mononucleosis, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, severe allergies, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and of course, even that it was all "in my head".  He cannot count the number of times he was referred to a psychiatrist.  Though he will readily admit to the reality that he probably did not need one, as it had nothing to do with his physical healt

Why is this illness endlessly complicated?•    Let’s talk biofilms, or in official terms, Amino polysaccharide. •    Did you know that the Lyme spirochete has the ability to create its own protection in the form of what is called a biofilm, much like a spider, creating a web? •    A misconception about biofilm is that it is floating around each bacterium, that’s not how it works. Just like a spider that can leave its web and return later. •    The Lyme biofilm is between an 8-16 carbon sugar-it is literally harder than steel. •    The Lyme spirochete can produce a new biofilm in 72 hours. •    The Lyme spirochete can also change forms= spirochete form, L form, cyst form. •    Things that will activate the Lyme spirochete to come out of the biofilm are events (emotional, physical, spiritual, marital, or traumatic) and or a physical event like an auto accident. •    “The key to Lyme disease is eliminating th
