She shares her story of recovering from Lyme Disease, her writing process and so much more. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and come celebrate with us at our virtual memoire launch party!\nMichelle Slater is a scholar of comparative literature and president of the educational nonprofit Mayapple Center for the Arts and Humanities in Connecticut. She holds a Ph.D. in French literature from Johns Hopkins University.\nHer long battle with and recovery from late-stage neurological Lyme disease served as the genesis for this book. Debilitated by the disease to the extent that she was no longer able to teach at her university or perform simple tasks like driving and reading, Slater spent several years pursuing every known treatment, from aggressive allopathic methods to holistic remedies. When all failed to deliver recovery, she discovered Dr. Sergey Filonov\u2019s dry fasting program and spent two months in Siberia under his care. She recovered completely from Lyme disease, regaining her memory and returning to researching, writing, hiking, and running. Since 2017, she has not experienced a single symptom.\nConnect with Michelle at the following links:\n\u200b\u200bhttps://michelleslater.com/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/michelle.slater.9699523\nhttps://www.instagram.com/michelleslaterny/\nhttps://twitter.com/michell03382543\nIf you\u2019re looking for high quality content editing services at reasonable prices, send queries to theplotstitch@gmail.com\nVisit www.everyday-excellence.com\nand use promo code Inspirational Journeys to get 10% off any product on the site.\nSupport this podcast with a monthly donation:\nhttps://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/support\nor you can give a one-time donation via PayPal at:\nhttps://paypal.me/annHarrisonBarnes?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
