In Episode 024, I interview Mackay Rippey, a New York Licensed
acupuncturist who specializes in the treatment of Chronic Lyme
Disease. Mackay first started his study of acupuncture in 1989 at
the Maryland Institute of Integrative Health and has been in
practice for more than 25 years. For the last several years, he has
been a pioneer in the field of chronic lyme disease bringing free
content to thousands suffering from chronic illness as part of his
website and podcast Lyme Ninja Radio.
As you will hear in the show, I was quite fortunate to stumble
across Mackay and his work, and am so grateful to have connected
with his passion for helping those suffering with chronic lyme.
Mackay starts us off with his unique background and persistence to
finally discover his calling in acupuncture. He then leads us into
his own experience with lyme and how it inspired him to
broaden his view, seeking to help others through his podcast and
blog.
We then get really practical and
down to earth in this discussion, as Mackay and I dig into the
disease process behind lyme, the current evolving state of
diagnosis and the interplay between the body’s immune response and
the presence of various viral and bacterial pathogens. Mackay
offers his advice for patients who are suffering and worried they
may be afflicted by chronic lyme.
Mackay provides us with some recent insights as part of forays into
the newest cutting edge research behind lyme and lyme
treatment.
Asking questions such as:
What are Bioflims? Are antibiotics able to penetrate these
bacterial colonies? What alternatives are there to antibiotics in
treating lyme? How important are stress management practices and
dietary modifications to healing from lyme? How about
neuro-psychiatric manifestations of lyme disease.
Mackay’s wealth of knowledge and curiosity is a blessing to
thousands seeking wellness. I hope you enjoy this conversation and
be sure to check out Mackay’s page and podcast to dig deeper into
lyme disease.
Without further adieu, let’s start the show!
