This Is How I Save My Life: Searching the World for a Cure: A Lyme Disease Memoir

"This is How I Save My Life" is Amy B. Scher's account of her self healing journey both before and after a diagnosis of stage four Lyme disease.Amy sought treatment from the best medical clinics in the US, yet her health continued to deteriorate.However, "Fate" intervened and Amy learns of a clinic in Delhi, using ground breaking stem cell treatments on patients with spinal injuries, and she is successful in being accepted for treatment.Although costly, her parents support her decision, and travel with her to India.I enjoyed her honesty, which includes both the highs and the lows of her transformation, as the stem cells invite change not only on her physical body, but on her emotions, mind and spirit.The Indian doctors provide many pearls of wisdom, including:"The Universe is shifting to bring you what you need to heal yourself, so then you will be able to move on and do bigger things."Amy's transformation continues and indeed never ends, as I too have found on my own journey with chronic illness.

Incredible, remarkable, beautiful, inspiring. I don’t often leave reviews but Amy B. Scher’s writing has me running to the keyboard to tell you to BUY THIS BOOK! The story will warm your heart, the writing will take you on a journey. I found myself on the bustling streets of India - the noise and smells and the colours so vivid, the heartbreaking and heartmaking journey had me in tears, I was shouting and cheering, willing Amy on from the sidelines. After a while, I looked up and realised the colours were grey and white and the sounds were the train I was on, travelling not through Delhi but though the English countryside. I was transported - and Amy will transport you too. So get this book.. it really is some kind of wonderful.

I loved Amy's story. It is an amazing account of how it is possible to completely turn your life around from the darkest places. The reader is drawn in by Amy's warm and engaging style. I read the book in one sitting as it was impossible to put down. I just loved it!
