    If you haven’t done so before, you may want to research Envita Medical Center in Scottsdale, AZ. They are known throughout the world for treating Lyme’s Disease and Stage 4 Cancer.
    I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Lyme’s Disease in 2009. I am currently spending 3 months at Envita undergoing treatment for Lyme’s Disease and a host of other things such as mold, toxins, etc. The Fibromyalgia symptoms were actually symptoms of the Lyme’s Disease. After undergoing an extensive battery of tests to find out everything that is “wrong” with your body, Envita will treat the underlying CAUSES of your diseases.
    Their website is: http://www.envita.com
