I recently had another tick bite and developed Lyme Disease. My go-to homeopathic remedy for Lyme Disease is Energetix Bacteria-Chord. This post provides a product highlight: Bacteria-Chord.

I’m a writer, blogger, and healer dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with their innate peace and wholeness by healing nervous system dysregulation. My personal experience with chronic illness called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) shapes my work, and my content offers tools to empower those with chronic illness to improve their well-being and take charge of their health.
I created the Sacred Self-Healing Method and am a trained and certified Safe and Sound Protocol provider, an author, blogger, and A Course in Miracles Teacher. I hold a Master of Divinity in Spiritual Counseling and am a trained spiritual mentor, with certificates in sound healing, aromatherapy, nutrition, and Sacred Deathcare. I offer a self-study certificate program in the Sacred Self-Healing Method, provide spiritual counseling and coaching, courses, and supported subscriptions for the Safe and Sound Protocol.
What is MCAS?
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic condition that affects all organ systems. It can cause severe, disabling symptoms every day, including potentially fatal anaphylaxis.
The common triggers for MCAS are infections, toxic exposures including mold exposure and EMFs, trauma, concussions, and stress.
MCAS often occurs with other chronic conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). Managing MCAS is challenging because many healthcare providers are unaware of it, and diagnostic tests can be unreliable. Treatments include antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers in the form of medications and supplements, along with avoiding triggers. Check out this post on managing MCAS.
What to do if you get a tick bite
This post covers the steps to take in detail if you get a tick bite.
Product Highlight: Bacteria-Chord
Energetix Bacteria-Chord is a homeopathic remedy that can be used for any bacterial infection, including Lyme Disease. This post discusses homeopathic remedies.
I take one dropper of Bacteria-Chord twice per day at the first indication of a bacterial infection. I recently took it when I developed a repeat-case of Lyme Disease. It can also be taken for other bacterial infections.
Taking Bacteria-Chord doesn’t cause any side effects. It is gentle on the body and doesn’t cause die-off.
It’s best to take all “Chord” Energetix remedies along with a “Tone,” such as Lymph-Tone II, which assists with detoxing chronic issues.
Common bacterial infections
See your medical provider if you suspect that you have a bacterial infection. Five of the most common bacterial infections include:
- Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Primarily caused by E. coli bacteria entering the urinary tract. Symptoms often include a strong, persistent urge to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, and cloudy urine.
- Strep Throat: Caused by Group A Streptococcus bacteria. This highly contagious throat infection is characterized by a sudden, severe sore throat, fever, and swollen tonsils.
- Bacterial Pneumonia: An infection that inflames the air sacs in one or both lungs, causing them to fill with fluid. Common symptoms include a cough (often producing phlegm), fever, and difficulty breathing.
- Food Poisoning (Gastroenteritis): Often caused by ingesting food contaminated with bacteria like Salmonella or Campylobacter. It usually leads to stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
- Cellulitis: A common and potentially serious bacterial skin infection (usually caused by Staphylococcus or Streptococcus
Product details
Bacteria-Chord® is a homeopathic combination formula for symptoms related to the human microbiome. Cells in the human body are outnumbered 10 to 1 by microbes such as bacteria. This and other similar and surprising statistics were revealed by the Human Microbiome Project, a 5-year study undertaken by the National Institutes of Health. When there is a disturbance in the intricately balanced system of the human microbiome, characteristic symptoms appear.
For symptoms of fever, fatigue, diarrhea, swelling, mucous congestion, pain in joints and muscles, and skin eruptions.â€

The bucket theory
The bucket theory simplifies understanding symptom reactions with MCAS. Imagine your body as an empty bucket you don’t want to overflow. Reactions to various stimuli fill the histamine bucket at different rates, forming the total histamine level (how full your bucket is). More histamine means more symptoms. By managing triggers, reducing exposures, and taking medications and supplements, you can control your bucket’s level.
Know your typical symptom progression
Understanding your symptom progression during a flare is key to developing your rescue plan. This post discusses how to recognize symptom progression so you can be prepared to address them.

Sign up for the SSP!
I’ve found the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to be the most helpful bottom-up healing strategy if your nervous system has been overloaded with toxic exposures, including mold or non-native EMFs, chronic infections, concussions, stress, or trauma. The SSP is a passive listening therapy that helps heal nervous system dysregulation. Many people with MCAS and other chronic conditions have nervous system dysregulation stemming from infections, toxic exposures, concussions, and trauma. The SSP is an easy-to-use app that lets you listen to specially filtered music for 30 minutes each day as part of a 5-hour cycle. Studies show the SSP has a profound effect on mental health and chronic conditions. Here’s a short podcast describing the Safe and Sound Protocol.

Heal your mind!
While the SSP is a bottom-up, somatic therapy for healing the nervous system, the Sacred Self-Healing Method I offer is a top-down nervous system-healing modality that focuses on cognition, attention, perception, and emotion, using the mind’s higher functions. The SSP and the Sacred Self-Healing Method complement each other and together produce lasting results. Here’s a short podcast on my self-healing practice.
I provide one-on-one in-person and remote chronic illness and caregiver coaching, as well as Sacred Self-Healing Sessions based on the Sacred Self-Healing Method, a proven, novel co-creative healing modality detailed in my Books.
