Lyme disease, also known as Lyme borreliosis, is a vector-borne disease caused by the Borrelia bacterium, which is spread by ticks in the genus Ixodes. The most common sign of infection is an expanding red rash, known as erythema migrans, which appears at the site of the tick bite about a week afterwards.

This is the true story of a doctor, actually a woman, wife, daughter, sister, friend, and mother of seven children. This doctor went from a serious life-treathening brain infection to a dynamic new life, teaching her children and sharing her faith in God who gives us more abundantly than we think. Because of her very poor condition, being diagnosed with a disease called Lyme was not an easy matter. At worst, she had to accept a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. That didn't give her husband, also a doctor, much hope for her survival. Acute Fulminating Multiple Sclerosis (the first two words are difficult to translate meaningfully) usually doesn't offer much of a chance for survival, typically a few weeks or the best couple of months to live only. When the situation became hopeless, she called the children to the edge of the bed one by one and said goodbye to them. They were between the ages of 2-14 at the time. She wanted to leave them with the best memories of each other. Without fear or doubt. After praying together with many faithful friends who visited her, she began her last hope treatment with a world-renowned internal medicine physician whose specialty is treating difficult cases of Lyme disease. He prescribed her aggressive intravenous antibiotics, antiviral drugs, physical therapies, diet and exercise. Once she was beyond the critical stage of the disease, she began a path of intensive nutritional support for her immune system. Many nutritional products helped her, but not as much as when she started using noni juice, which allowed the neurological damage to begin to reverse quickly. Repeated MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans revealed that the scarred tissue in her brain and spinal cord was disappearing. I am a doctor. God is really good. I admire the way He restored my life when it seemed lost. The people who introduced me to noni juice really represent the kind of people God uses to bring this kind of dramatic healing to people in hopeless situations. After my experience, I will never stop drinking noni juice.
