After trying the conventional route, it's time for something new. But as many of you probably know, Lyme and chronic infections aren't exactly well understood—and even less well treated.

So many people have to try treatments that insurance won't cover. I know people who've spent close to a hundred thousand dollars trying to get well. Some travel to Mexico, others to Germany. Some get stem cell transplants in Asia.

After years of studying the latest research, reading books, seeing how Liam reacts to treatments and finally understanding what Lyme really means, I've come to a decision. The best course of action for Liam is apheresis:  blood cleansing.

Liam will need about fifteen rounds of it. Plus several rounds of hyperthermia, blood oxygenation, herbs, antibiotics, and other treatments adjusted along the way. All at the apheresis center in Cyprus, under the care of Dr. Inbar.

We spent an hour talking with her. Liam said this is where he wants to do his treatment. He likes the doctor. So do I. A Lyme specialist, eager to get Liam better.

Liam has eight-plus infections and six-plus viruses. It's a lot. It will take patience. It won't be easy. Liam knows all of this. He's ready.

But our insurance denied coverage and this treatment comes with a price tag. Total bill: 32,000 euros. Plus flights, Airbnb and car rental. We're looking at 37,000 euros.

We can pay for the one month of treatment plus incidentals, but after seeing the blood tests, the Doctor said that this was a lot more complicated than she thought and that Liam will need 2 months of treatment instead of the one month originally discussed.

Thank you, in advance, to anyone who supports Liam. Financially for his treatment, or emotionally, even from far away.
