Dr. Isom to Speak 4/9/16

 Dr. Isom

Dr. Eileen Isom, owner of Madison Chiropractic-Monona, will be speaking at our next support group meeting Sat. April 9, 2016 from 2:30-4:30.

A summa cum laude graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, receiving Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees, she was the first woman to practice chiropractic in Dane County, and has been in practice for 41 years. She practices Specific Upper Cervical chiropractic and is also certified in Chiropractic Spinal Trauma (CCSP).

Several of her family members have been diagnosed with Lyme/MSIDS (multi systemic infectious disease syndrome or Lyme with friends), and she has also treated many people with that diagnosis. She will explain how chiropractic care can be an integral part of a whole body approach to chronic illness.

As one of her favorite topics is “Self-Help for the Spine,” she will be providing practical, everyday suggestions for keeping the spine and nerve system functioning properly, since the nerve system controls the function of all other systems in the body, including the immune system.

Chiropractic correction assists the body’s immune system to function at its most efficient level, and when that happens, all other treatment modalities that a person is using increases in effectiveness. In addition, many persons with MSIDS report relief of pain and improved function after chiropractic corrections.

Meeting Reminder

Our next regular Lyme Support Meeting will be Saturday March 19, 2:30-4:30 at Pinney Library in Madison.

Upcoming meetings – April 9, 2:30-4:40 (Dr. Isom, Upper Cervical Chiropractor) and May 28, 3:30-4:30 (Dr. David V Baewer, Chief Medical Officer Coppe Laboratories)

Also, we are having a warmer than average March with daffodils up out of the ground already.  That means the ticks are stirring earlier than usual as well.  Please take precautions when working outside and tuck your pants into your socks, spray your shoes and socks with Permethrin, and do tick checks regularly.  Should you find a tick, remove carefully without squeezing.  Some are now recommending using an ether spray (like the kind you use on warts) on the tick and waiting until it falls off.   http://sectionhiker.com/treating-your-clothes-with-permethrin/  Excellent article on using Permethrin with details such as how long it lasts on your clothing under various conditions.  You should not spray this on your skin – only your clothing.

Also, please note that Susan Paskewitz, Professor and Researcher, Medical Entomology Laboratory, UW Madison, says they are finding ticks in open spaces now – meaning, places like soccer and football fields with short grass.  This presents a risk for everyone but particularly children playing sports in open fields.  Please share this information with your family and friends and educate anyone who will listen.  

Also, be careful when mowing or cutting down areas that contain ticks.  Make sure to blow away from your house not toward it.  I found ticks on my basement screens and crawling up my walls last summer due to a farmer unknowingly mowing a tick infested area toward our house.

Stay safe.

BVT Class canceled – Hearing Reminder

I regret to inform you that the Bee Venom Therapy class we had scheduled for Feb. 3 has been canceled.  We plan to do this in the future so stay tuned.  We will have a regular support group instead this Saturday from 2:30-4:30.

Also, please remember the public hearing on item AB768 this Wednesday, Feb. 3, at 10am at the Capital regarding:  Rules regarding diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease and requiring the exercise of rule- making authority.

https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.wordpress.com/2016/01/26/public-hearing-update/

Please go to the information desk on the main floor and ask for the hearing room (415 Northwest) for the Lyme Disease issue. They will direct you as the Capital is a bit of a labyrinth.

Hope to see you all there

Bee Venom Therapy Class

Drum roll please……

I am proud to announce that Providence is bringing us DiveGirl Deb to our next Madison Lyme Support Group meeting on Saturday, February 6 from 2:30-4:30 at the Pinney Library in Madison!  

For Deb’s site and to read about her journey, go to:  http://flippinlyme.wix.com/flippinlyme#!home/c121p

Deb has regained her health due to Bee Venom Therapy (BVT). “I’m getting my life back. I have control of my healing. Best of all my sense of humor is restored. This feels great. If I can get better in mere months of treatment, anyone can!”  

And:

“This is a highly effective form of treatment which most any patient can afford. I was spending $32/month for my mail order bees and treating at home.”

Please consider giving to the Flippin Lyme Foundation to help pay for Deb’s airfare.  Extra proceeds will be used to help other Lyme patients learn BVT.  Thank you.

Mission

I was a General Contractor, Cost Estimator & Project Manager prior to falling down with Lyme Disease. I still have these skillsets. As I continue to heal with my Bee Venom Therapy, I’m looking to the brighter future.

I used to buy distressed properties and flip them. I made great money doing it. I’ve got healing to do yet, but I want to begin to work at pulling this together so we are ready to launch when I’m healed.

I want to make a real living again and I certainly want to give back to my wonderful Lyme Community.

What I propose is: Form an investment group which can fund us with private funding. I’m looking for a $500,000 line of credit. I need investors with private funds.

We will purchase distressed properties. Rehab them, we’ll hire who we need and flip em fast. The profits go to build up the foundation. The investors earn interest on their funds.

We could make hundreds of thousands of dollars for our cause and get some great media coverage to raise awareness while patients on BVT heal.
