Global Lyme Alliance 2023 Gala Award Honoree Kenzie Vath’s Lyme Disease Journey

When I wrote my book “Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know,” I was fortunate to meet many people who have given back to the Lyme community. Many have created not-for-profit charities or have supported existing ones to help Lyme survivors either find funding for medical expenses, get doctors referrals, or simply provide emotional support when needed.

If you're a chronic Lyme survivor, the e-book is always free. Reach out to me on Facebook or LinkedIn.
I launched the Love, Hope, Lyme Podcast to help family members understand what a loved one was going through.
This episode features Global Lyme Alliance 2023 Award Honoree Kenzie Vath.
We discussed her journey from when she discovered that she had Lyme disease through how she managed and recovered from the disease.
She said, “It’s a day-to-day battle. Number one is staying focused on my mission and my goal. A lot of it is the mental battle, that you must tell yourself, “I want to do this. I’m going to get up. I’m going to push. I’m going to focus.”
Kenzie is presently working on a passion project called “The Ignored Pandemic: Real Stories of Lyme Disease.” In the book, she interviews Lyme survivors from all over the world.
“I want to show that Lyme is not just within the US. There are many countries that continue to say Lyme doesn’t exist. There are no doctors to treat it, nor do they access to tests. That was hurting my heart.”
“I know that there is a huge global outbreak of this disease that the CDC is not reporting specifically. I have a representation from India, Ireland, England, Australia, Canada, everywhere. It’s amazing how aligned all of our stories are, how parallel so many of our symptoms are. But then how unique each one was diagnosed, and the process of that, I think is so unique. I was honored to be able to get that opportunity to lean in and find these individuals to share their story.”

I just watched a show on Lyme Disease and how it is (allegedly) a bio-weapon from Plum Island. It's on " The Why Files" 4 days ago. "The Horrors of Plum Island"
