Celebrities and Lyme Disease

Posted April 10, 2013.  So great that Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster is bringing attention to Lyme disease!  She just accepted the LRA’s Star Light Award award from the Lyme Research Alliance at their Time for Lyme Gala in Greenwich, Conn.,  (the video is on RadarOnline.)

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star received the honors for opening up about her ongoing battle with Lyme disease, and bringing awareness to it with her open dialogue about her illness on the show.  (I must confess I’ve never watched any of those Hollywood or Housewives shows, but a lot of people do, so it’s great that she’s being so open about her Lyme disease and helping to educate.)

The more doctors consider Lyme disease as a differential diagnosis, the better.  When there are Lyme symptoms and especially if there has been a tick bite, think Lyme disease.

(Remember, even if you never saw a tick, you could still have Lyme disease.  I never saw a tick, never had a rash, and I was bedridden for a year.)

Thanks Yolanda for being so public about your Lyme disease, you’re helping a lot of people.

Juicing, Relaxing and Lyme Symptoms

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Camille

Posted April 9, 2013.  Just relaxing, enjoying a tall glass of fresh juice!  Some people have a cocktail or glass of wine to relax, nah, not me, give me a big glass of organic green juice and I feel like a million bucks!

Today’s juice was:  1/4 inch piece ginger, 4 stalks celery, 1/2 bunch kale, 3 carrots, 1 cucumber, 1/2 bunch romaine lettuce…. heavenly!

Trade your wine for green juice and be that much closer to 100% Recovery from all Lyme symptoms and Lyme disease!!

PS Trick on the Angel Juicer-be sure to let all the pulp go out before you take off “blades” to clean.  Let the machine run a couple minutes after you finish putting the produce through, that way the blades come off easily for cleaning.

To your good health!  No more Lyme disease!!

More Arugula and Lyme Disease

Posted on April 7, 2013 by Camille

Posted April 7, 2013.  Good run this morning in Malibu Canyon with good friends.  Long gone are the sad days of Lyme symptoms and Lyme disease.  After we ran I picked a bunch of arugula from my friend’s garden, then I went home and juiced it.  (I did another post on why you should be eating and juicing arugula. See post:  https://lymesymptoms.com/crazy-good-arugula-and-lyme-disease/  )Powerful stuff for those still dealing with Lyme symptoms and Lyme disease.

Arugula and Lyme disease

Running in Malibu Canyon with friends, no more Lyme disease!

But remember to be careful when you juice arugula, it can be very bitter.  In fact, I over did it a little in my juice today.  I had to chase the juice with a lot of water.  Arugula, along with cilantro and parsley are powerful detoxifiers.  So be sure to include them often in your 100% Recovery from Lyme disease regime. (And don’t worry, I made sure there were no ticks before I posed for this picture!!)

Otherwise I just worked on my cooking video today.  Everyone asks me what I ate when I had Lyme disease and how did I recover from all the Lyme symptoms.  I’m trying to put it all together in a useful format.  Start with some arugula today.  I know it’s tough, but:  100% Recovery BeRelentless!

How Monsanto Impacts You and Lyme Symptoms

Posted on March 30, 2013 by Camille

Posted March 30, 2013.  So important for those with Lyme symptoms and Lyme disease to NOT consume GMO foods!  Give your body a chance to heal!  GMO foods can create micro tears in your intestines.  From my friend Caroline:

GMO lyme disease

GMO and lyme disease

As most of you already know, it is with great heavy heart that I regret to inform you that our President signed H.R. 933, which contained the Monsanto Protection Act into law.

The passage of the Monsanto Protection Act is another sign of how out of touch Congress and the White House are with the sentiment of the America public. The insertion of the biotech rider in a backroom deal with corporate lobbyists and Senate leaders is a new low. Since losing a court case in 2010 to Center for Food Safety for the unlawful planting of GMO sugar beets, Monsanto and other biotech companies have been desperate to find a way around court mandated environmental impact statements required as a result of a U.S. district court’s ruling.

There is a fierce urgency in the fight over the Monsanto Protection Act for family farmers and food activists across the country as 13 new genetically engineered crops await approval at the USDA and AquaBounty’s GMO salmon could be approved in the FDA next month. The passage of this rider in an unrelated budget spending bill could open the floodgates for these new approvals, even if the budget agreement only last for the next six months

Do you feel that there needs to be a paradigm shift?
The purpose of me sharing the following information (it isn’t news to many of you) isn’t to depress you. Awakening happens when one is informed. And real change won’t happen if there is no awakening.

Thanks for sharing this interview Stacey.

Now more than ever, we as consumers MUST act collectively. We obviously cannot count on our representatives to listen to us even if we are many and loud.
  • EVERY TIME you go to a restaurant, a grocery store, take the time to talk to a different staff member at those places to share your concern about eating Genetically Engineered foods. Be like Coca Cola. Don’t stop with one powerful advertisement. Do the drip system of “advertising”.  Just because you said it one time to a manager of a grocery store, doesn’t mean that should  suffice. Mention it to the checker at the grocery store. Mention it to another checker the next time. Pay the manager a compliment and share your concern . Comment on your effort of eating consciously. Just one person speaking with different staff members at different times will seem like comments coming from different people
  • Boycott These Brands  these companies do not support your right to know if you’re eating genetically engineered foods!
 Monsanto Protection Act language, Now Officially U.S. Law!

Sec. 735. In the event that a determination of non-regulated status made pursuant to section 411 of the Plant Protection Act is or has been invalidated or vacated, the Secretary of Agriculture shall, notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon request by a farmer, grower, farm operator, or producer, immediately grant temporary permit(s) or temporary deregulation in part, subject to necessary and appropriate conditions consistent with section 411(a) or 412(c) of the Plant Protection Act, which interim conditions shall authorize the movement, introduction, continued cultivation, commercialization and other specifically enumerated activities and requirements, including measures designed to mitigate or minimize potential adverse environmental effects, if any, relevant to the Secretary’s evaluation of the petition for non-regulated status, while ensuring that growers or other users are able to move, plant, cultivate, introduce into commerce and carry out other authorized activities in a timely manner: Provided, That all such conditions shall be applicable only for the interim period necessary for the Secretary to complete any required analyses or consultations related to the petition for non-regulated status: Provided further, That nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the Secretary’s authority under section 411, 412 and 414 of the Plant Protection Act.

3. “H.R. 933: Department of Defense, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Full-Year … (Concurring in the Senate Amendment)”, which contains Section 735, the Monsanto Protection Act passes Congress 318-109.
