The Innocent Victims of Lyme Disease
May 22, 2019 | by Dr. Neil Spector

“Neil, you are so lucky to be healthy again and to be able to do the activities you enjoy.” This is a phrase I hear regularly. It’s been 26 years since I noticed the onset of a variety of symptoms, which were initially attributed to stress for the first five years. Then, in 1997, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Despite aggressive antibiotic therapy, which resolved almost all my symptoms, the damage to my heart was permanent. I lived with a severely weakened heart from 1998 to 2009, the year of my heart transplant, managing to escape death many times thanks to the pacemaker/defibrillator implanted in my chest. It’s now been 10 years since my transplant. Yes, I am lucky to be alive, able to share the joy of parenthood, and blessed to be spending more time with my wife, the love of my life. But being alive also means I have not been spared overwhelming grief, such as witnessing my daughter spend her childhood in fear of losing me.

Dear RM Agents and Readers,

This is one of the most important topics regarding Lyme that I've attempted to get across. This is a disease that affects the entire family and why I think they have allowed it to go unchecked to bring down the countries of the world to establish their one world order.

Many Blessings,
