Chronic Illness? I Am Here to Help!

Mara Williams Lyme Disease specialist, integrative care and holistic healing

"Each person has unique needs, and that is where my expertise can be of most help to you. Consider speaking with me, I can help!"

I am available for advising consults. I can be a second opinion for you or guide you to the best therapies you might need. I can recommend nutritional support to treat the many side issues in Chronic Lyme like detoxification, rebuilding the Immune system, healing the Gut, decreasing Inflammation, and balancing hormones. These are the key to becoming well and to recovery.

Once you have had chronic Lyme for over 2 years the detox pathways become inefficient or simply do not work anymore. Restoring them is a key to health. For example: using proteolytic enzymes to break up fibrin and biofilm, using supplements to heal the intestinal lining, decreasing inflammation without using pharmaceuticals which have dangerous side effects, balancing hormones, and reclaiming your immune system to work for you rather than the bugs. These steps are essential before you treat to lower bug populations so that your body is able to rally to help the process. If your liver, lymph, and kidneys do not drain efficiently, then you will feel sicker when you treat. If your body belongs to you again, the treatment will be easier and will require less time. Bugs put out neurotoxin when they die and this can make you feel terrible. It is essential that the toxins are able to leave the body via the stool and urine rather than recirculate when pathways are blocked.

More and more I work without drugs or pharmaceuticals as their side effects can make a problem worse. There are exceptions to this though. If you have an acute tick bite then antibiotics are recommended. If you have had lyme for less than 1-2 years, and depending on symptoms, antibiotics are a good choice. Some drugs like cholestyramine, antifungals, and antiparasite meds are important when used at the best time given each persons symptoms. Each person has unique needs and that is where my expertise can be of most help to you. Consider speaking with me. I can help!

I am licensed in Washington as well! I have the ability to both see patients and prescribe medicines.

Patient Testimonial:

"Mara Williams is a real asset to my health care team. She takes a very individualized approach with her patients, and will work with you to find the very best treatments.

As a Lyme Literate practitioner, Mara can help determine the best approach to treating this complicated illness which may be a combination of different therapies. Using the whole world as her tool box, Mara selects from many healing modalities which include herbal remedies, Chinese and Arevedic medicine, as well as homeopathics, German biologics, and of course, prescription drugs( Western Medicine).

Since she is highly intuitive, compassionate and grounding, Mara has helped me cope with many challenges on my healing journey. Mara remembers which labs to order, and is terrific at keeping all the orders she writes specific. That helps you as well as other health care professionals you may be seeing.

Mara has experienced the challenge of helping more than one family member with ongoing health problems which means she understands what you may be going through as well as how to deal with it.

Mara recently left Gordon Medical Associates, the leading Lyme and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome practice in the West to be able to devote more of her time to you, and to meet the needs of her family.

If you have questions regarding how to do your treatment, or are interested in hearing about alternative modalities -- or need someone who not only hears you, but listens to you, I highly recommend this excellent practitioner to you." ~Joanee Webb

I would love to work with you!

Join me Wednesday as I talk with Katina Makris about her personal journey mending from Lyme Disease. Katina has worked in natural health care for 28 years, as a Classical Homeopath and Certified Medical Intuitive Healer. For 10 years, she was a popular newspaper health columnist and a board member of The Council for Homeopathic Certification. She is currently a board member of Be Tick Ready, a Lyme education group. Katina is a graduate of Duke University and The Stillpoint School of Integrative Life Healing. After 5 years of misdiagnosis and 5 more years of treatments, Katina has triumphantly overcome advanced chronic Lyme disease. She is on a nationwide Lyme awareness campaign with her recovery memoir and guide, "Out of the Woods; Healing Lyme Disease Body, Mind and Spirit," an award finalist for 2011 Best Book in Health with USA Book News and winner of "50 Authors You Should be Reading" by the Authors Show. She currently is at work on two new manuscripts, one of spiritual reflections and meditations, the other a companion workbook on Lyme disease recovery.

"As a chronic Lyme disease recoveree and advocate I wish to offer hope to those caught in the rip-chord of suffering and confusion regarding tick-borne diseases. Though finding a Lyme savvy practitioner and your devotion to treatments may feel daunting, the human being is amazingly resilient. The power of our spirit and inner will must not be dismissed. Healing happens on the inside. You too can thrive" ~Katina

Katina is a dynamic, well loved educator and engaging Lyme disease motivational speaker, sought after for her depth of chronic illness understanding and mind-body-spirit healing work. She lends professional and personal experience on mending from the ravages of chronic Lyme disease. With pragmatism and compassion, this dynamic healer and chronic Lyme survivor shares insights into the Lyme paradox and other illnesses, offering tools for prevention, diagnostics and treatments for regaining one's health. Unfortunately, all of us; home gardeners, landscapers, beach goers, outdoor lovers, and children, must be alert to ticks and Lyme disease.
