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!

Lyme Light Radio with Mara Williams and Dr. Wayne Anderson. A Focus on Natural Healing

With a background in education, Dr. Wayne Anderson understands the role of teaching in medical care. Working with grade school students he saw that diet and environment impacted student's mood and behavior. This sent him back to school for training as a Naturopathic doctor. A growing focus on natural healing approaches in clinical practice in Oregon caused him to broaden his assessment and treatment skills and he earned the designation of Physician Assistant.

For two decades, Dr. Anderson practiced in a busy community-based family medical center, treating individuals and families from birth to old age. His emphasis on patients experiencing chronic illness grew. As he became aware of the prevalence of chronic Lyme disease and related conditions he realized the important part they play in chronic illness.

In 2002, Dr. Anderson left family practice to work with Eric Gordon MD. Now he has a practice with a concentration on chronic illness, using tools and experience from both conventional and integrative medicine. At GMA, with a growing focus on Lyme disease, he has developed a deeper understanding of chronic illness, its treatment, and the frontiers still available as possible solutions.

A curious and dedicated clinician, Dr. Anderson is committed to the ongoing process of learning and teaching. In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Anderson maintained his initial focus on teaching. For over 20 years he taught medical students at Touro Osteopathic Medical School, and supervised residents from Sutter Hospital and interns from the Physician Assistant programs in the clinic setting. He is also a popular speaker on the topics of Lyme disease and neurotoxin illness.

For more than 25 years, Dr. Anderson has known that his patients are partners in the process of learning about and treating their illness, whether they choose conventional or alternative medicine or a combination of both. He listens to understand each patient's strengths and challenges and improve his effective interaction with them. He sees every person as complex, integrated, and unique, and believes that treatment should optimize health and well-being.

An avid film historian and true music enthusiast, Wayne spends his spare time watching movies, old and new, and listening to a wide selection of music.

Dealing with Inflammation with Mara Williams Lyme Disease Specialist

Inflammation isn't entirely bad. Acute inflammation — the kind that protects and heals the body after an injury or infection — is essential and normal. The other kind — chronic inflammation — can play a long-lasting role in the body and feeds chronic disease. Inflammation becomes chronic when there is a persistent stimulus. When dealing with any Chronic illness, including Lyme disease and Cancer, detoxification is essential to your health and clearing out inflammation from the body. Toxins not only need to be released, but they have to be "escorted" out of the body or they merely resettle. Additionally, the various organs of the body need to be well supported throughout the process. The benefits of reducing inflammation are immediate as well as long term.

Taking a good liver support is important for anyone who has any chronic condition. When the liver stops working optimally then toxins tend to recycle again and again rather then leaving the body through the stool. This can make you feel very sick. LVR Formula by Pure Encapsulations is an excellent liver support formula which assists with keeping inflammation down in the liver and helps the liver to work correctly. It is a combination of herbs designed to balance the functioning of the liver.

Proteolytic enzymes are an essential part of treatment for those with chronic inflammation due to any cause. It is especially important for those with chronic infection or cancer. Chronic inflammation has a damaging effect on arteries, which can lead to high cholesterol, heart attacks and strokes. Neprinol AFD is a proteolytic enzyme formula which combines several different enzymes in one product. It is great for breaking down Fibrin and Biofilm. Fibrin forms the base of a blood clot and the base of Biofilm which is where bugs are able to hide from treatment. Fibrin is a sign of inflammation and causes the blood to become thicker, increasing the risk for a clot.

Recommended Dose is 1 to 2 Capsules, 2 times Daily.

Recommended Dose is 2 Capsules, 2 Times Daily on an Empty Stomach.
