Starving to Heal in Siberia

My Radical Recovery from Late-Stage Lyme Disease and How It Could Help Others

De: Michelle B. Slater PhD

Narrado por: Carol Jacobanis

There is hope for recovery from Lyme disease and other chronic illnesses

In Starving to Heal in Siberia, Dr. Michelle Slater takes us on her journey from her bed, where she was sidelined much of the time, to Siberia, where she was cured of the debilitating effects of advanced Lyme disease. After a years-long struggle with extreme chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and other mysterious symptoms that ultimately prevented her from teaching and doing simple tasks like reading and driving, Michelle began considering assisted suicide. She had tried every known treatment, from aggressive allopathic methods to holistic remedies, without success. In a last-ditch effort to save her life, she found a radical alternative treatment offered by the world’s leading expert on dry fasting and traveled to Siberia to give it a chance.

Starving to Heal in Siberia is both a moving and insightful memoir of recovery from devastating chronic illness and a practical guide to the science and psychology behind safely dry fasting. If you are curious about intermittent fasting and the research on dry fasting, this book offers compelling and useful information. If you are a doctor who has had to tell your patients to adjust to the chronic symptoms of an autoimmune disorder that didn’t dissipate under your best care, this book offers new hope. And if you struggle with chronic illness or love someone who does, this book is an antidote to despair. Michelle’s thoughtful account of her wellness journey provides similarly afflicted listeners with the tools and encouragement to begin their own.

True answer to prayer.

Michelle felt a moral obligation to share the healing powers of this protocol and she has most definitely fulfilled that obligation and destiny. I cannot wait for my own healing in following her same steps, forever grateful.

Highly recommend!

Magnificent! Well written, well narrated. I cried several times during this book from relating as a chronic Lyme patient and how hopeful her story of triumph made me feel. Amazing book and highly recommend!!!!

Hope

Michelle shared her experience before during and after dry fasting. She provides excellent details and her story is compelling and done well enough that it’s enjoyable to listen to. The narrator does an excellent job. I am hoping that I have a similar story in the future

Inspirational and Educational

Thank you Michelle for your courage and sharing your story, as well as sharing the wisdom gleaned from your miraculous healing journey from your supervised dry fasting by Dr. Filinov. His expertise is a treasure and I greatly appreciate sharing his insight through your inspirational story!
Thank you and God bless you and your family!

This book can bring hope to the hopeless

I strongly recommend this for anyone who has a bad case of Lyme and wonders if it's possible to get better.

The author was bedridden with Lyme and was/is also vegetarian. That really gives me hope. The best thing I've found for my Lyme has been years of anti-biotics and switching to a carnivore diet. So the fact she could stay a vegetarian and heal Lyme with dry fasting is absolutely miraculous, to me.

I had never heard of dry fasting before. But since reading this book, I've researched the doctor she went to see and I'm getting my passport renewed. There are things she did to prepare for the dry fast too. I've already booked an internal organ massage and started a book on circadian rhythms, etc. This book opens up a whole new line of things I can try. I was really stuck before reading it...I tried so many things and couldn't think of what else I could possibly do.

I'm so grateful for this book.

The fact she had to go Siberia to heal reminds me of an African proverb: "True power is always hiding in the bushes".

She's also a really good writer so it's an easy read that grips your attention.

Intriguing

Well written. I’ve heard of dry fasting in the past and have read various articles. She goes into her experience deeply to provide insight as to the process. I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for more information on dry fasting.

Inspiring and informative!

One of the best books I've ever read. Details the authors terrible disease, many failed treatments and eventual cure from multiple "uncurable" diseases...outstanding

Excellent read, especially for self healing seekers

Pleasantly surprised at the insights, experience, and method of delivering the story. Entertaining and informative!

So many people went to Siberia to go to prison she went to Siberia to gain her freedom.

From a person who has been suffering from chronic fatigue for years and too has tried everything. This gives me hope.
