Hi please help, my 9 year old is dealing with this. She had chest pain, then turned into colitis, then evolved to chrons, now it’s officially cirs. Drs are skeptical & everything they do makes her worse! She had surgery on her foot 7 months ago & it never healed, it keeps blistering & inflaming. It’s been a nightmare! I brought up cholestyramine, we’re at Inova hospital in Fairfax VA

Id like to know more about chronic tick borne relapsing fever spread by soft shell ticks. I lived in mexico in the pacific north west for a year. I thought my room was infested with bedbugs, but later discovered it was soft ticks which is much worse. Have been experiencing recurring fevers ever since and am practically bed ridden, but tests are always negative so they wont give me antibiotics.

Thanks for your honesty in describing the ups and downs of recovery, another interview that inspires hope!

How do you feel about raw dairy?

You can tell how much yall want to help people! Thank God for you two and the journey he has brought you through.

Your comment about POTS and chest pains is not correct in my personal experience. I have hyper-mobility (not EDS but adrenergic type of POTS). I started having symptoms basically probably since birth, but already in my twenties I started having chest pains. This was in the 1990s and the doctors were already half-ready to lock me up in an asylum for 'white coat anxiety'. Kidding, yet true enough in the sense that I never mentioned to any of them that I was having pain on the left side of my chest when carrying groceries or books from the library or in other occasions of longer exhaustion causing scenarios. I never panicked about it, because I never died and they went away as soon as the strain stopped. In 1995 the doctors told me that my autonomic system had gone haywire but there was no such diagnosis as POTS in their tool box at that time. The pain is still there in such situations, mind you. I'm in my 50s now and my heart has right-sided abnormalities as evidenced by ultrasound examinations. It's not genetic, because it had developed between 2005 and 2018, i.e. between my two heart ultras. There is no other reason for them than POTS, given the only real strain to my heart has been excessive heart rate (the latest being 100 bpm in a 24h Holter - I'm an academic, so not really doing strenuous exercise daily including standing up). In 2009 my condition got a lot worse and I became unable to work full-time (most likely related to the autoimmune developments at that point). I am glad you mentioned the comorbidities with POTS, because in the TH-cam world there have been a couple people with EDS and POTS that have died in their 20s. I have non-EDS hypermobility (no skin or digit symptoms) and mild mast cell activation syndrome (only a couple 'attacks'), but I would like doctors to understand that EDS patients are really sick if they get POTS too. I'm in my 50s, but these people with EDS who get complete gastroparesis do not survive for long. I take care of intermitten gastroparesis with herbs that tax my liver (senna), but these EDS patients with POTS are in dire need of actual medical help. It may be because of over-medication, but please do not make them guinnea pigs.

Can i become a patient if i live in another state?

I’ve seen Jodi for IV therapy and she’s been so kind and knowledgeable. It was really interesting to hear her story and how she came to join your practice. She is a great addition!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Hartman's / RIFM member since Feb of 2020. Every visit over the years has been a place of healing - of being heard, seen. Never rushed. I am deeply grateful for all the effort and care put into this patient experience. It shows! And now my husband has joined RIFM. I was a RN at UVA Hospital for many years. Dr. Hartman - his staff - his Co-CEO/wife focus so beautifully on how the body wants to heal. In a culture/healthcare system that focuses on illness and symptom management - RIFM is a healing environment filled with science, support, resources, patient empowerment, and deep care. Thank you!!

Hi, Just a heads up - you put up a picture of Mark Hyman MD rather than Andrew Heyman MD.

Thanks you very much.

Can obese people have pots or is it a skinny people thing?

Doc can you treat mold and Lyme at the same time?

Got this from taking the covid vaccines

So in your opinion,what is the best way to get rid of chronic lyme?

Yes, walking into RIFM is a welcoming experience, beautifully peaceful office, everyone is so nice, and my healing journey is just as they described, thanks to both CEOs for your compassion, creativity, dedication and skill!

You know… prayer is the best form of meditation before a meal 😊 study history my friend, especially between 50bc and 1500 ad

How to treat

Thanks for sharing the journey and confirming that healing is nonlinear and it takes a long time. Acknowledging that there is a lot of trial and error in the process helps with the frustration of trying to live and heal with chronic illness. Nice job Becky. 😊

Some links to the studies that back up your "facts" would be helpful.

ﾟ.+:｡∩(・ω・)∩ﾟ.+:｡ Exactly! I have 2 purifiers running all day and night. Thanks for sharing; this is up my alley of interests.

Thanks for an excellent summary of the main points about Chronic Lyme. I am trying to delve deeper into the subject and I appreciate this as an advanced retrospective. You obviously know what you are talking about!

More on GLP 1 and metabolism. The people losing weight on Ozempic it can’t just be they are eating less. Is GLP 1 improving metabolism? This plus less food explains the weight that comes off easily after years of trying the eat less and move more formula

I have Hyperadrenergic POTS, with MCAS and EDS. I haven't cured it, but I am doing much better on the right meds and supplements and electrolytes and water. I got Addison's disease 12 years ago and was on a steroid until last year. Had gut issues my whole life until 2 years ago. Trace minerals and essential vitamins have been so key to my recovery, as well as eating good food and decreased stress. I'm now in full remission from Addison's disease, with no secondary adrenal failure. I am also in remission from hypothyroidism and type 2 diabetes. I had a severe sleep eating disorder since I was 4. 20 oz of electrolytes gulped down fast right at bedtime cured my sleep disorder! My body was having adrenaline surges several times a night and going into fight or flight mode at night. I can't believe it. I also kicked the crap out of long covid twice. Vitamins, minerals, adrenal supplements such as holy basil and mushrooms, antioxidants like Quercitan, and NAC really help me deal with fatigue. B vitamins are especially important for me as I also have Pernicious Anemia/iron anemia. I take a B100 plus B1, 2, 5, 6 and 12. Magnesium Glycinate and citrate not only help with my pain but also have cured my gut, along with giving up caffeine. I am allergic to caffiene, gluten, dairy, alcohol, almosr all chemicals and the sun. Caffiene waa really key especially with my adrenals. I removed all toxic chemicals from my house, including cleaners, beauty products, laundry soap and package foods. Got an air cleaner and within a year of those changes, plus treating MCAS, was what got me into remission from everything. I'm hoping I can beat POTS, too. My symptoms are definitely better now that I am healthier. I have absorption issues and every now anc then I get the Meyers Cocktail from my Naturopath. As my gut health improves, I am able to absorb vitamins/minerals better. Its also important to take them so they have maximum absorption, like Magnesium with Vitamin D, at night I take D in Cod liver oil as Vitamin D is fat soluable, during the day I take both Magnesium and vitamin D3. For a long time I wasn't taking it right. Thank you for this video. More doctors need to know about POTS and the different types. My doctor says my recovery has been a miracle, and it truly has been. I wasn't diagnosed with the trifecta until after 50.

You mentioned body balance oil? Something you make mayonnaise with ? Could you provide what this is, where do you get it ? Is the recipe for the mayonnaise posted on the website somewhere? Did you say yes or no to eating sour dough bread but you have to make it from home? Is fermentation okay or not okay for those with digestive issues including leaky gut and food sensitivity especially seeds and nuts?

Yes, these docs are as great as they seem in the video. My husband and I had very different issues, working with RIFM we are Dramatically improved. Amazing practice.

More like 200 strains at least of Bb.

I'm thinking about doing a project on chronic Lyme disease. What are some helpful sources you'd recommend to learn more about it?

Great interview, wonderful insights on today's medicine from 2 amazing doctors. I'm listening as I make my homemade fermented veggies to support my microbiome, per Dr. Hartman's suggestion, yes, these 2 are real healers, I thank God for their work in restoring my life and others'.

So why do people get diagnosed with mold toxicity? And others they decide to call it CIRS? If both are sick exactly the same?

For how many minutes did you cook the mushroom?

I have heds autism ADHD lost my mum.ti severe ms heds last year unsure uf i have kyme ir all the autism all frown up on farm 26 years cfs fybromyalgia since a fall huh

Funny, until recently I hadn't realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's a relief! Although what he previously suggested was pretty good, it was a real pain to follow... I just go'ogled the latest by Mario Volpstein, it's so much easier and potent now!

Worked on my painful foot.

I have not ever hit the 2 tier testing criteria cdc standard for Lyme. I had a + RMSF IFA in 2016... I've been sick for 15 years.....I am now disabled....I have no resources left. Are you aware of any grant programs to help people like me? It makes a lot of sense to me that you would need to use an antibiotic to get the spirochetes to come out and then test....I do have autoimmune and likely mold too. And I have read that if you have mold and lyme issues you are likely more sensitive to EMF radiation such as that from cell phones.

The best binder is a sticky probiotic! See videos by Dr William Davis cardiologist on the gut microbiome. He has linked specific gut bacteria to specific organs and when that bacteria is missing, the organ gets sick. Restore the bacteria and the ofgan gets healed! Each bacteria creates chemicals to control the functions of a specific organ. Without that extra management of the organ with it's chemical stimulation, the organ fails to work. He teaches how to make yogurt with the bacteria you need to find health for what ever condition you suffer from. The yogurt becomes the binder that heals the body and not just the gut. Most people are missing at least 3 bacteria that are only seen now in aboriginal people living off the land still. These bacteria create a calm mind. The chemicals in our food and drugs kill these bacteria first. Questran removes the good bacteria too! Suggest the use of Dr Davis' yogurt instead!

So very interesting! Thank you for taking the time to produce vids with this information.

Thank you for sharing! As i told you Dr H, you saved my life. Im sure there are others who feel the same! And now thats true for Dr J too but in a different ‘emergency’ way.

Thanks for posting this video...very good to know.

Great interview! Informative, applicable, and encouraging!

id argue the sustained high heart rate could kill you i have had it at 250 max and was in resus (trama for america) and it took over 12 hours to come down

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Your words say a lot....stuck with a patient...avoided for years...having lyme is not chosen...it's really hard to have it. 😢

Moderate eggs to vilify the consequences.

POTS absolutely sucks. I have it along with hEDS, fibromyalgia and other things. Some days, I can't stand or even sit. I have to lie down. A cardiologist can diagnose POTS. My GI doctor suggested it to me. I'd been trying for at least 8 years to get a diagnosis. I suspected POTS and mentioned it to a few doctors. They didn't think it was that. Well, when my GI doctor mentioned POTS, that was the validation I needed to keep pursuing a diagnosis.

Keep up the good work. Its not a mystery, drs typically dont listen. Make sure to keep listening to your patients.

Vector borne illness x vomitoxin equals regressive autism.

Can having anemia /low iron effect healing from Lyme?

Ok so what are the symptoms and effects of the overdose
