Envision Zennon in perfect health ♥️

Hi, my name is Olivia Chovan and I am raising money for our son Zennon Chovan.

Zen’s story: In early July of 2023, Zen (as he prefers to be called), physical body  became very unbalanced. He experienced high fevers for 10 days, followed by headaches, muscle weakness, extreme lethargy, loss of appetite and rashes on his back, chest, limbs and face.

We took him to his pediatrician who suggested we get some bloodwork to rule out Lyme, thyroid disorder, vitamin deficiencies, etc. After doing extensive research on Lyme and types of blood tests,  we discovered that Lyme was next to impossible to detect through standard bloodwork. 

Anyone who knows us, knows that we are not fans of allopathy, but would absolutely consider it if there was a sure fire way to heal Lyme that way. Unfortunately there is not. Antibiotics are the only method used in allopathic medicine and it is usually a 2-4 month treatment with only a 35% chance of recovery. Most of these cases have a relapse and or see coinfections arise.

We saw our holistic doctor the next day and he suggested we start a holistic protocol for healing Lyme asap. He also suggested he continue chiropractic care and NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique) to heal his body, however  this protocol wasn’t quite enough and symptoms persisted.

A few days later the bullseye rashes started to thin and disappear, but he had developed joint pain and had difficulty walking, and his eyes were dilated regardless of the lighting. 

We knew we needed to do more, so I went back to my research, spoke to experts in the field of nutrition, herbalism, homeopathy, spirituality, and functional medicine; as well as friends who contracted Lyme and healed it through plant medicine and holistic modalities. It was suggested to me by numerous experts and friends to read “Healing Lyme: Natural Healing of Lyme Borreliosis and the Confections Chlamydia and Spotted Fever Rickettsioses” By: STEPHEN HARROD BÜHNER.

I ordered the book and it arrived the next day. I immersed myself in its pages of wisdom and scientific research, and with the help of family, found and made an appointment for him to see a functional medicine doctor and Lyme specialist in Butler, PA.

His 1.5 hour consultation was the most thorough doctor visit we’ve ever had! Upon examination he determined that there is a 99% likelihood of Lyme disease. He did an eye scan and determined the Borellia bacterium had migrated to the nervous system and was mimicking what a concussion would do.

The doctor treated him with cranio sacral therapy, and laser therapy. and reviewed all the supplements he was currently taking as well as some he should be adding. Zen left the office feeling a lot better and could walk with much more ease then he has when we went in. This was great news!

We received an email Saturday, August 19th from his doctor with his suggested treatment protocol (which he used himself to treat and heal his own Lyme disease; as well as hundreds of other clients since), and a price break down. Upon reviewing this email, we realized we were unfortunately not in the financial position of being able to afford the bloodwork, his treatments and supplements as insurance does not cover these expenses or type of doctor.

Both myself and my husband Ryan were out of work from June 1st (due to 2.5 weeks of covid, 2 weeks of recovery, and then Zennon’s body started experiencing Lyme symptoms and needed round the clock care.) until October 15th, 2023.  

The following is the email from his doctor with the treatment suggestions and price break down: 















    

    

As you can see from the email, this is definitely not your typical Western medical protocol. We believe however, that this is the most effective “physical” method of supporting the body at eradicating Lyme disease, and any coinfections that it can cause. This is not a “cheap” protocol, but it is the one with the highest physical success rate. 

We would define healing as an improvement in the mind/body/spirit complex to its innately whole and perfect state (as it was created and born), and we strongly believe Zen is doing just that! In addition to all the treatments above, Zen has also been practicing daily guided meditations, positive affirmations, prayer and mindfulness in all that he does. It is really helping! ♥️☺️


Our call to action: 
We're reaching out to you today with a heartfelt prayer for help to support Zen and our family. That's where you come in. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make an incredible difference in Zen’s healing journey. ♥️
 

How you can make a difference: 
Donate: Your support can help cover Zen’s  treatments, protocol and travel expenses, ensuring he has the best care available to him through this healing process.  

Share: Spread the word about Zen’s story far and wide. Share this story with your family, friends, coworkers and social networks. Awareness is key in helping him get the support he needs! 


Send prayers and healing well wishes:
We appreciate your prayers, love, support and compassion as we navigate this new and unexpected chapter in our lives. Leaving messages of encouragement, and prayers in the comments area are also most appreciated and helpful ♥️ Zen’s physical  body is experiencing Lyme, but it is important to remember to see him
as the perfect and whole being that he is! It is simply something that the body is experiencing. Thus, when you pray and send healing energy, please remember to hold the vision of his true and purely whole and healthy self in your heart and minds eye ♥️☺️

Volunteer:  If you have skills or resources that would help Zennon (massage, reiki, gentle yoga, holistic recovery from Lyme experience, etc), or would help our family get caught up on the much neglected care of our home, land, restoration projects we had to put a hold on, gutter work, plumbing work, errand running, etc. please reach out. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, 

Olivia, Ryan and Zennon Chovan ♥️♥️♥️
