Lyme disease is the #1 fastest spreading infectious illness in the USA, with over 300,000 cases contracted annually, and a mere 10% properly diagnosed or treated. Often mistaken for autoimmune illnesses, a broad spectrum of Integrative Medicine modalities are necessitated for recovery from the chronic form. Doctors, especially in the Southeastern states, have little information on Lyme disease. In fact, most medical professionals are unaware this bacterial tick-borne infection is even existent in the Southern states. Consequently, tens of thousands of cases are misdiagnosed as spider bites, influenza, MS, arthritis, fibromyalgia and even autism in children.
Dr. Jodie Dashore and Katina Makris are leading experts in the field, with thousands of client hours between them. Both internationally renowned conference and workshop teachers, as well as award recipients, they will present a comprehensive program of traditional and holistic medicine information as to the key components for healing from Lyme disease and co-infections, at The Art of Living Retreat Center.
An Integrative Approach to Lyme Disease
The retreat will emphasize modern medical science material for professionals and patients, on supporting the detoxification pathways, restoring damage to bodily systems, killing off infectious organisms, and restoring emotional and spiritual health.
We will also touch on how to minimize herxheimer reactions, reduce inflammation, homeopathic self help remedies, the importance of bonding with the appropriate lead practitioner in your care, forming family support and the intrinsic need for emotional and spiritual empowerment via this healing journey will be detailed. Specialty mind-body- spirit exercises will be taught, alongside the critical call for integrative medicine tools in this exploding health care crisis. AIDS at its peak saw 101,000 cases per year, Lyme is surging 3 times faster!
As chronic Lyme disease survivors themselves, this is a unique collaboration between two master healers, who value the full spectrum of physical and spiritual support components for chronic disease recovery.

“I am listening to all of your LymeLight radio interviews and you are awesome! My heart is touched deeply and had I a few tears hearing my same hell on these broadcasts. I have been suffering with Lyme for 12 years but could have well been a lot of longer because of my symptoms since childhood. I’ve been treating for a year and 3 months now and getting ready to start treatment on my 11 year old in June. I couldn't have done this without my husband, two good doctors and people like you, who understand this and are out there on the front lines fighting for us! Love you to pieces!”
