Bill Rawls MD: The Timebomb Within | The Healing Grove Podcast
Manage episode 366466672 series 3403805
This week I am so excited to share a conversation that I had with Dr. Bill Rawls back in November of 2022. In this compelling conversation, you will learn about the role the microbiome and pathogens can play in chronic illness.
Bill Rawls MD, author of Unlocking Lyme: Myths,Truths, and Practical Solutions for Chronic Lyme Disease and the Cellular Wellness Solution, is a 4th-generation physician who has dedicated his life to medicine. But when faced with a personal health crisis in his late forties with Lyme disease, everything changed. In his quest to regain his health, Dr. Rawls was confronted with the limitations of conventional medicine and knew he had to find his own path to restore wellness. For the past 15 years, he has extensively studied the science behind herbal therapies and new sustainable approaches for protecting health.
