Tick Boot Camp’s guest today is Ashley Belanger. Ashley Belanger is a young woman from Minnesota. In her early 20s, she began to experience the symptoms of a tick disease. She had migraines that would last for months, hair loss, extreme fatigue, and night sweats. At its worst, she would walk into a room and forget why she was there. After 10 years and no diagnosis, Ashley Belanger decided to give her cousin’s Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD) a try. There, she tested positive for Lyme via a muscle test and started the LymeStop treatment plan.
