Dr. Bill Rawls On The Intersection of Lyme and IC, Understanding Ureaplasma & Reactivation of Dormant Microbes In Chronic Illness Dec 06, 2023

In today’s episode we dive into a topic with much personal significance for your girls; Lyme Disease. We are lucky to bring you insights from one of the foremost lyme literate doctors and herbalists, Dr. Bill Rawls, who also brings a very interesting (and synergistic) skillset to Femme Farmacy, as his work in the medical field began as an OB/GYN. Dr. Rawls was always particularly sympathetic to his patients with chronic pelvic pain conditions such as interstitial cystitis and vulvodynia, and was determined to help them figure out the root cause of their pain.

As fate would have it, Dr. Rawls became very ill with lyme disease himself, and used his medical knowledge and research skills to embark upon a healing journey. Focusing on cellular health, environment and overall wellness, he was able to heal himself with a combination of strategic herbal formulations and lifestyle modifications. Through this journey, he learned of the connection between the lyme coinfections of ureaplasma and mycoplasma and these bacteria’s role in IC and vulvodynia. Today, he’s helping thousands heal from lyme with his supplement protocols, Vital Plan, and is one of the few lyme doctors out there who truly understands the gynecologic implications of this disease, helping women to heal themselves from chronic pain.
