Video: “Under Our Skin”

If you haven’t seen the compelling and award-winning lyme documentary “Under our Skin” by Open Eye Pictures, check out the trailer above from YouTube.  It doesn’t seem to be streaming for free any more but see below for info on how to buy it or arrange a screening in your area.

Through interviews with people living the nightmare of chronic lyme as well as the doctors and researchers deeply committed to helping them recover, you’ll learn about this hidden epidemic.

It’s all here, from the shameful treatment of many patients by some in the medical establishment who deny the very existence of persistent lyme to the inaccuracies of testing and the impacts of this insidious illness on individuals and families.

You’ll also hear success stories from people who found health again thanks to lyme literate doctors. If enough people see this film, maybe we can attain the long overdue public awareness and action this health crisis deserves.

To buy the DVD, find out about screenings in your community, or to sign up to host a screening, visit www.underourskin.com.

UPDATE: The sequel, an Academy Award runner up, is now available! PLEASE SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND EMAIL. We need this information to reach beyond those already impacted.

Video: Musician Daryl Hall Tells His Lyme Disease Story

Seems like years since I’ve heard a Hall and Oates song, but this interview on YouTube sure caught my eye. I’m so glad famous people like Daryl are sharing their personal lyme stories.

Notice how his symptoms gradually built up until the day he crashed and couldn’t ignore them any more. If more people knew about how often lyme—”the great imitator”— is mistaken for other things, they could get on the path to good health sooner.

Also take note: he’s recovering – you will, too.
