I started my career as a veterinary nurse and absolutely loved it. Life was simple: I moved to the UK to travel, met my husband, had two beautiful kids, and everything felt on track. I eventually moved into veterinary pharmaceutical work, representing products for vaccines, osteoarthritis, flea/tick prevention and pet nutrition. I became fascinated with nutrition and even gained formal qualifications in pet nutrition. Then everything changed. With two young children, my eldest developed asthma and my youngest wasn’t progressing — non-verbal, not attempting to walk, chronic ear infections. Nothing made sense. We cooked healthy meals, I understood nutrition deeply, yet both my children were struggling. The answers I was given didn’t add up, and the pressures grew. At the same time, my own health collapsed.I went from being energetic and happy to experiencing extreme fatigue, brain fog, confusion, joint pain, panic attacks, and frightening episodes of temporary amnesia. I ended up in A&E three separate times for intense pain that appeared like broken ankles, yet X-rays showed nothing. Specialists ran blood tests, MRIs, neurological assessments — all “normal, it’s all in your head.” I was told it was stress. But I knew something deeper was wrong. I became bedridden, in chronic pain, mentally spiralling, and completely dismissed by the system. I already had a homeopath for my kids, and she referred me to a holistic dentist who did Bio-meridian testing. Within one hour, he identified Lyme disease — an answer I had been desperately searching for. He immediately started me on Rife therapy for Lyme. At that time, I didn’t understand what Rife therapy was or why I felt so much worse after each session. Later I learned this was the Herxheimer reaction — a die-off response from killing pathogens. It was awful, but it was also a sign that something was finally working. It took 6 months to reach 50% improvement, and a full year of consistent Rife sessions (three times a week) after purchasing my own machine to regain my health. Slowly, I got my life back. The darkness lifted. My energy returned. I was myself again.
