The Virus That Could Kill Lyme — And It's Already Inside You?! What if the key to killing Lyme bacteria was already living inside your body — and just needed to be activated?
That's exactly what this week's guest, Dr. David Jernigan of PhagenCorp and the Biologix Center in Franklin, Tennessee, has spent nearly 30 years figuring out. And his answer might change everything you thought you knew about treating Lyme.
Here's what we covered:
· What phages are — Beneficial viruses that hunt and kill specific bacteria. They've been used in medicine since 1917 and are so abundant in nature that if they were the size of grains of sand, they'd cover the entire Earth 50 miles deep.
· Three types of phage therapy — Conventional phage cocktails (used in Russia and Eastern Europe for decades), genetically modified phages (emerging research), and Dr. Jernigan's own invention: Induced Native Phage Therapy (INPT).
· The INPT breakthrough — Bacteria that infect you through a tick bite already carry their own phages inside them. Dr. Jernigan developed a way to activate those phages already living in your body — no injections, no foreign viruses — using a process called biospectral emission sequence testing.
12 to 48 hours — Peer-reviewed research shows that when phages are properly activated, they can eliminate an entire population of bacteria in as little as half a day.
The termite analogy — Even if you kill all the bacteria, years of damage still need to be repaired. As Dr. Jernigan put it: killing the termites is essential, but if they've been there for years, the structure still needs rebuilding.
Why he started this work — Lyme picked him. His first patient in Kansas in 1996 was the first CDC-documented Lyme case in the state — and she never left. He's since treated over 10,000 Lyme patients from around the world.
This is one of those episodes you'll want to listen to more than once. Find Lyme Time wherever you get your podcasts.

When Erika Schlick was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2014, she followed the protocol. Antibiotics. Round after round. But instead of getting better, her gut was falling apart — so she made a bold decision and stopped.

She went all in on herbals, homeopathic medicine, heavy metal detoxes, and a complete diet overhaul. She tried stem cell therapy and calls it her personal jackpot. She got her health coach certification, wrote a cookbook, and built a platform to help others do the same.

But then fasting backfired — and the reason why changed everything.
Digging deeper, Erika discovered a hidden genetic condition called lipedema — a chronic disorder affecting fat distribution that impacts 1 in 9 women, most of whom have no idea they have it. It's painful, widely misdiagnosed, and almost never talked about.

In this episode, we talk about:
*Natural healing after antibiotics — what worked for Lyme
*Stem cell therapy, herbals, detoxing, and diet for Lyme
*Why fasting made things worse, and what that revealed
*Lipedema, the hCG diet, and finding the right approach for her body
*Her platform The Trail to Health and the upcoming at Lipedema Summit, June 2026

It was my honor to be featured on SheMD Podcast with Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Cathleen King, founder of Primal Trust, to discuss tickborne illness and women's health, especially on the topic of being stuck in trauma response after illness. Lyme+ strips your life away slowly. Alpha-Gal is terrifying. Listen and learn how both Cathleen and I trained our minds and bodies to be safe again. We both believe this is the last piece of the puzzle in total and complete wellness. The SheMD Podcast focuses on women's health topics and this was the perfect time to put Lyme in the spotlight..during Lyme disease awareness month. For anyone also affected by PCOS, check out Mary Alice and Dr. Aliabadi's product called Ovii.

Alpha Gal Syndrome is on the rise and the Lone Star Tick (the carrier) can move quickly and aggressively. AG Syndrome is in the Top 10 of food allergies now. Symptoms come on about 6 hours after ingesting mammalian foods like red meat and dairy. Symptoms can include vomiting, GI issues, rash, hives, anaphylaxis, and even death. Shop “everything ticks” at my Amazon Store (link in bio) for repellents of all kinds, repellent clothing and gear, and kid/pet safety. Thank you, 💚

Your cells have a reset button — and Dr. Bill Rawls just showed us how to use it in this episode of Lyme Time.
Dr. Rawls breaks down autophagy — your body's built-in pruning and recycling system — and why it may be the key to understanding why so many of us get stuck. When autophagy is working, your cells clean house, renew immune function, and keep inflammation in check. When it's not? You get the exact conditions that allow Borrelia and other stealth microbes to thrive.
But here's the good news: you can turn this around. Dr. Rawls walks us through what's actually suppressing autophagy in modern life, which common medications (and even treatments) interfere with it (this one surprised us), and how autophagy handles herbs, red and infrared light, sauna, movement, sunlight, low-dose naltrexone, and time-restricted eating. We also discuss practical starting points and protocols like the one by Vital Plan.
This episode is for you if:
You've done rounds of antibiotics but still don't feel well
Fatigue and inflammation keep cycling back
You want science-backed, sustainable strategies — not just more prescriptions

New episode is live now. Hit play on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube and let us know what resonates.
