July Meeting Announcement: Lyme Disease

Please join the DC Chapter of the Holistic Moms Network on Tuesday, July 19 from 6:30-8:30 pm for an evening learning about Lyme Disease from Michael Taylor. Michael will discuss recognition of symptoms of acute, late-stage, and chronic Lyme Disease; the safe method of tick removal; prevention of Lyme Disease through nutritional, herbal, and homeopathic support; vectors of transmission; methods to diagnose Lyme Disease through physical presentation as well as lab testing; and treatment options focusing on a non-pharmaceutical approach.


Michael Taylor lives with his wife Kendra and three-year-old son Benjamin at Fox Haven Farm and Nature Preserve where he is currently working with others to develop a Holistic Healing Center that will be rooted in communal living and connection to nature. Michael has worked as a counselor, environmental activist and holistic health practitioner. He is currently employed as a medical assistant for a Holistic Medical Doctor in Washington DC. For the last three years, Michael has been primarily focused on researching Lyme Disease by studying with indigenous peoples, apprenticing with a Holistic MD, and learning through direct experience by working with plants and spending time in nature. Through his work, Michael has found that Lyme Disease is reflective of a much larger problem than the disease itself.


Our "Lyme Disease" meeting will take place on Tuesday, July 19, from 6:30-8:30 pm at Seekers Church in Takoma, DC. Seekers Church is located at 276 Carroll Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20012. There is street parking, and Seekers Church is also metro-accessible from the Takoma/Red Line stop.
