Overcoming Chronic Lyme Disease - Maya's Story
Life before my journey to the West Clinic was a blur of unanswered questions and unrelenting symptoms.
For years, I battled walking difficulties, neurological problems, vertigo, extreme fatigue, and debilitating headaches. Despite seeing multiple providers and specialists, no one could explain why my health was in freefall. My family and I began to fear the worst—that I might not survive.
In early 2022, I finally found a clue: a long-standing infection in my jaw was treated, but even then, the symptoms lingered, and my hope dwindled. By the time I discovered the West Clinic—a daunting 10-hour drive from my home—I was out of options. I felt completely hopeless.
On my first visit, Dr. West evaluated my blood and uncovered what other providers had missed: Lyme disease, parasites, and disappearing red blood cells. His words still resonate with me: “Believe in miracles and have hope.” Those words, coupled with his compassionate care, marked the beginning of my healing journey.
A month later, I returned for an intensive two-week treatment program. The West Clinic's integrative approach included IV nutrition, neural therapy, acupuncture, ionized detox therapy, and carefully selected supplements. Each step of the process not only targeted my physical symptoms, but also restored my sense of hope and control.
When I left the clinic, I continued my recovery with a local provider who offered IV nutrition and specialized supplements. I also invested in a Bemer device to enhance my healing. Despite the challenges of living in another state and managing significant family issues, I stayed committed to the path Dr. West and his team set me on.
Fast forward to this year: after two years of dedicated recovery, I finally returned to the West Clinic for a re-evaluation. Seeing my healthy blood slides—free from Lyme disease and other illnesses—was nothing short of a miracle. The joy and relief I felt were indescribable.
Recovering from a chronic illness like Lyme disease is a long road, but I firmly believe the treatments I received at the West Clinic were the foundation for my recovery. They gave me the tools, the guidance, and, most importantly, the hope to believe I could not just survive but thrive.
To Dr. West and the entire team at the West Clinic: thank you for your unwavering dedication to healing. Your positive and loving atmosphere, combined with your innovative treatments, has made all the difference in my life. You’ve not only helped me heal but also given me the strength to believe in a bright, healthy future.
For anyone reading this who is struggling with chronic illness and feels like they've run out of options—don’t give up. There is hope, and there is help.
With deep gratitude,
Maya Arnold
