Is it possible to recover from severe, chronic late stage neuro-lyme disease? Brooke Landau is living testimony that one can recover from late stage lyme disease. Her 14-year struggle with lyme disease included paralysis from the waist down and neck up and loss of hearing, sight and memory. Considered one of the worst cases of lyme disease in the country, Brooke received a highly experimental treatment and thought she had recovered in 2004. But although tests came back positive and she has resumed treatment, she is still functional and is currently working as the traffic anchor for channel 10 in San Diego. Hear her inspiring story as she tells it at the 2008 Lyme-Autism Connection Conference:
Earthwalker is the username that PT founder Julie Genser created for her online interactions so many years ago when first creating Planet Thrive.
Julie's (Earthwalker's) life was derailed over twenty years ago when she had a very large organic mercury exposure after she naively used a mouth thermometer to measure the temperature of just-boiled milk while making her very first pizza at home. The mercury instantly expanded into a gas form and exploded out the back of the thermometer right into her face. Unaware that mercury was the third most neurotoxic element on Earth, Julie had no idea she had just received a very high dose of a poisonous substance.
A series of subsequent toxic exposures over the next few years -- to smoke from two fires (including 9/11), toxic mold, lyme disease, and chemical injuries -- caused catastrophic damage to her health. While figuring out how to survive day-to-day, and often minute-to-minute, she created Planet Thrive to help others avoid some of the misdiagnoses and struggles she had experienced.
She has clawed her way over many health mountains to get to where she is today. She is excited to bring the latest iteration of Planet Thrive to the chronic illness community.
In 2019, Julie published her very first cookbook e-book called Low Lectin Lunches (+ Dinners, Too!) after discovering how a low lectin, gluten free diet was helping manage her chronic fascia/muscle pain.
