Summary

  • I am a diagnostician, advisor, and a treatment strategist specializing in complex Infections Induced Autoimmune Disorders of Vector Borne Illnesses as well as Intractable Headaches, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, CIDP, PANS/PANDAS, and associated diseases.

    I often see children and adults with complex cases of Lyme disease and co-infections resulting in multiple neurologic complaints, which manifest as uncontrolled headaches, dizziness, brain fog, memory problems, seizures, nerve pain, insomnia, fatigue, concentration issues, mood disorders, anxiety and other psychiatric issues.
