Living With Lyme Disease | Turn The Corner Foundation Presents Awards to Best of the Best In The Lyme Community!

If you live in the New York - Connecticut area and you or a loved one has Lyme disease, ACT TODAY!  This November 1, 2007 Turn The Corner Foundation event is amazing and I wish I could be there, but I'm in San Diego right now after last week's firestorms... 

Some of the best and brightest LEADERS in the RACE TO UNMASK A CURE FOR LYME DISEASE and PERSISTENT LYME PATIENT TREATMENT ADVOCATES are going to be at this event receiving awards for their stellar contributions to the Lyme Community.  These doctors are International Lyme and Associated Diseases (ILADS) physicians who treat and are advocates of long-term chronic Lyme Disease patient care.  They are in alignment with Dr. Burrascano's Advanced Lyme and Tick Borne Diseases Treatment Guidelines that I credit with saving my life and giving me back a quality of life that I love living daily. 

Turn the Corner Foundation presents its second annual fundraising gala, Unmask A Cure, on Thursday, November 1, 2007 from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM at Guastavino's.  If you hurry, you can still get tickets, so ACT NOW BY CLICKING HERE TO LEARN MORE if you want to go!  It's tomorrow night... :)

Join Turn the Corner Foundation for an evening of fine cocktails and cuisine, a silent auction and sweepstakes. All funds raised from this event will support Turn the Corner Foundation's mission to support research, education, awareness and innovative treatments for Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases.

I hope you take advantage of this amazing opportunity. 

With Love & Light...  :)CC

Happy Halloween from San Diego after the 2007 Firestorm

Hi There Ghosts & Goblins!!!

PUSH PLAY --> 

San Diego is recovering after the 2007 Firestorms.  The San Diego Chargers played an amazing football game today and won 35-10 over Houston, Texas in Qualcomm Stadium, which means life is getting back to normal, as it should be!

Time for yet another Happy Halloween in just a few short days...  BOOOOOHAHA!!!  Just a short post today, but a worthwhile one.  I have some wonderful friends (www.AmakuaVideo.com) who created a fantastic little specialty pumpkin carving movie.  Now, this is worth watching, because it is actually a technique I've never seen before, and it looks like so much fun you will definitely want to use it this year!  Plus, it is very well done...  Wishing you a Happy Halloween!!!

Here's to Pumpkin You Up!!!

In the study, repeated intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy was shown to be effective in treating cognitive dysfunction and the debilitating pain, fatigue and physical dysfunction associated with this disease.

The study, titled “A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Repeated IV Antibiotic Therapy for Lyme Encephalopathy,” will be published on-line by the journal Neurology on Oct. 10, 2007.
