In the last two decades, the United States, Canada, Australia, as well as Europe and other areas of the world, have experienced a rapid emergence of zoonotic diseases at an alarming rate. Multiple factors including: global climate change, escalating deer and grey squirrel populations, human urban development encroachment on feral animal habitats, pollution, excessive EMF exposure, and the human misuse of energy and waste management, has given rise to the 21st century global epidemic of Lyme Disease, a perfect “storm.” Even the Center for Disease Control suspects that there may be as much as 6-12 times the number of reported Borreliosis/Lyme disease cases in the United States that have not been recognized and/or diagnosed. This is a national (and global) tragedy given that scientific evidence repeatedly demonstrates that early antibiotic intervention for tick-borne illness halts disease progression and perhaps even eradicates it.
Dr. Marra’s personal belief about the treatment for multiple chronic zoonotic infections comes from a nearly 30 year career in medicine and science which emphasizes the need for: 1) integrating science and intuition, 2) utilizing a combination of eastern and western medicine philosophy’s, as well as alternative and conventional treatment modalities, 3) interfacing with other disciplines that shed new insights on old problems, and 4) exhibiting compassion and mindfulness for the needs of others.
