Kristina Birkholz Achieved 95% Recovery From Chronic Lyme and Neurological Pain

I am a very do-it-myself person and I like maybe being in a little more control of my health. And so for me, it was wonderful. I like to schedule things, I like to have a list of things to do for my health. And Dr. Diane did that. She gave me - I mean, I had printed out things that she had on her website that I was gonna do. Herbs I wanted to order, supplements I wanted to order. And it was very easy for me as a do-it-yourself person to be able to follow exactly what she wanted. And if I ever had questions or concerns, I could go to those group calls and just ask her, "What about this? I'm confused about this." And she would answer my questions right away. So, for me, it worked really well. If you're at all a little disciplined and motivated to take charge of your health I think it's a great program. My name is Kristina Birkholz and I am from Grand Haven, Michigan. Well, my life changed kind of abruptly about a year and a half ago. I started having random, weird symptoms. Really, out of the blue. I thought that I had been a fairly healthy person and I was about 41 and I thought, 'was it the 40's that things started falling apart?' Went to multiple doctors and nobody could really explain my symptoms. I had lots of neurological pain, muscle pain. I remember the bones on my fingers hurt, randomly. And then I started getting stomach GI issues. I think the icing on the cake was when I started getting these unexplainable rashes on my legs that started to look like bullseyes. And I remember going to about two or three different doctors and nobody could give me an answer for what they were. So, I kind of felt crazy by the end of all that. I thought it was probably in my mind. Nobody had an answer. When we got a diagnosis of Lyme, I had a functional doctor that I was seeing who was wonderful and I remember her recommending Dr. Diane's group program. I Didn't know anything about Dr. Diane. Got on the website, looked at the individual program and thought, 'oh, I don't know that I could afford that.' But my functional doctor said, "try the group program, at least try it." I was a little skeptical. I thought that I probably wouldn't get the one-on-one attention that I needed for somebody to walk me through how to heal. So, I did it, I jumped in. And on the first call I remember getting done and telling my husband, "I think somebody's gonna actually listen to me. I think Dr. Diane might have some answers for me." So, I was very, very encouraged even after the first group call. I feel a ton better. I worked with Dr. Diane for probably nine months in the group program. I just told her on my last call that I'm probably 90 - 95% back to where I was, which is huge. I feel the neurological pain is gone. A lot of the muscle pain is gone. I don't have the weird rashes or the GI symptoms. I just feel so much better. I feel back to my "pre-41-self" when all of this started. Still little residual effects and that's normal. And when I met with Dr. Diane last time she gave me guidance of what things might have been damaged and how I can start to heal those but I feel so much better. For me, it was the calls at the time I think they were once or twice monthly and I would move everything in my schedule to make a point to be on those calls because they were so helpful. I had a full hour to ask questions. And a lot of times there were maybe only six or seven other people on there and I would just be typing in my questions like crazy. I could get in easily 10 to 15 specific questions that I had for her and she would just keep answering them. I don't know if she was sick of me but it was super helpful for me to just be able to have a list of questions that I knew, every couple weeks, I could ask her. That was definitely my favorite feature. Well, I already have recommended her to multiple people. I think the main reason is because she is knowledgeable and yet she gives you the tools to do it yourself. I remember feeling completely lost. I couldn't afford a crazy-expensive Lyme doctor on the other side of the state. And I felt like there was probably not much hope for me getting better. So, for something as affordable as this group program and as helpful as it was, I highly recommend it to anybody and I have. It's one of the only platforms that I have found that I've actually seen results from. I had other friends spend thousands of dollars on doctors and they don't see much result and so I'm super thankful and I definitely recommend Dr. Diane to anybody struggling with these symptoms.
