Tick Boot Camp’s guests today is Dr. Rachel Long. Dr. Long is a Naturopathic Doctor, the author of the book “Living in the Lyme Light: The Challenges and Triumphs of Living Life with Chronic Lyme Disease” and a sought-after public speaker. At the age of 16 after a Lyme Disease diagnosis, she had to travel 6 hours per day, 5 days a week for treatment. Because her parents could not maintain their jobs and take off the time that the treatment protocol required, her community came together to drive her to and from each of her doctor’s appointments. If you would like to learn more about how a community came together to help a family win a tick disease battle, then tune in now!
