ANECDOTE

From Night Calls To Natural Recovery

  • Bill Rawls described collapsing health from chronic sleep deprivation and years of OBGYN night call leading to heart, neurological and joint collapse.
  • He recovered fully over years using high‑dose herbal protocols after antibiotics made him worse.
INSIGHT

Stealth Microbes Hide Inside Cells

  • Borrelia often behaves as a stealth microbe that invades cells and becomes dormant inside tissues rather than causing an overt acute infection.
  • This intracellular dormancy explains why chronic symptoms can emerge years after exposure.
ADVICE

Prioritize Cellular Health First

  • Protect cellular health with a good diet, movement, sleep and a clean environment as primary prevention against chronic microbe reactivation.
  • Use broad‑spectrum herbs as low‑risk protection when exposure or symptoms occur.
