and the power of addressing all of the abnormalities on the MSIDS map. As you will hear from Aly, the three B'S, Borrelia, Babesia and Bartonella,

along with immune deficiency, adrenal dysfunction and POTS had her bedridden and sick for years with severe fatigue, pain, inability to sleep, and severe cognitive difficulties with mood swings. Yet some combination therapy has helped her in the past year, more than any of the other treatments she did in the last 8 to 10 years, and she has now had massive improvement without significant relapses. Let's hear Aly story about the safety and efficacy of Dapsone Combination Therapy and power of addressing abnormalities on the 16-point MSIDS map.

My name is Aly and I have had Lyme for about nine years. and when I say I am, I guess I'm using it as a catch all term for tick borne disease because I also have Babesia Bartonella, and Ehrlichiosis. And I feel like I'm probably forgetting some infections, but if you have it, I probably have it too. it took me two years to receive an accurate diagnosis of Lyme and tick-borne disease. So by the time that I finally found out what I had, it just had seeped into every muscle tissue, spot in my body.

And I was essentially bedridden. I have probably tried every treatment under the sun. If you name it, I have probably done it. and I also have POTS. I have specific antibody deficiency. I have adrenal dysfunction. a good cocktail of things that resulted in exhaustion, severe brain fog, word loss and word block, pain.

Dapsone Combination Therapy Experience 2:34

All over my body and my muscles and my joints. Tremors, sleeplessness, restlessness, mood swings. I experienced a lot of different, typical Lyme symptoms, but also neuro Lyme and tick-borne disease symptoms. I found Dr. Horowitz about two years ago and have been doing Dapsone therapy. Both regular Dapsone, Double Dapsone, and Quad Dapsone over the last year. And while I will say it's a tough protocol, I always like to tell patients it's not the hardest thing that I've ever done. not even close. So don't let the fear of herxing or not feeling well scare you because, number one, I actually don't think that it's as bad as you think it is.

And number two, I like to say that I really think it's worth it to get your life back in the end. I also like to tell people that I really feel that Dapsone has helped me more in the last year than any therapy I have done in the last 8 to 9 years, combined. Dapsone was the first therapy for me where, I really feel like it's had a lasting impact where I am able to complete the therapy, wait and see the results, and then not have, this massive, you know, backslide, like I used to where I would complete therapy and then ultimately, you know, within a month or two, be on.

Well, again. and it's really helped all of my symptoms across the board. When I first started seeing Dr. H, I would say I was operating at about 50%, you know, capacity, which was, not good. And now I would say I'm closer to like 80 to 85%, which is a massive leap. and I have seen improvements in pretty much every symptom across the board. Now, most days I am able to get through the day pretty successfully and be a pretty high functioning individual.
