Hi this is Marilyn,

The mother of Ryan, my son, who is 33 years old.

Ryan is a young, amazing young man, who really is the life and soul of the party wherever he goes! He makes everyone laugh and is such a lovely boy, who loves socialising, spending time washing his car, being out in nature, and obsessively watching boxing and sports everyday on his mobile.

But most importantly though, he loves spending time with his two little girls!!!!!! They mean everything to him.

He’s a plumber by trade and has been doing that for around 3-4 years before he became sick, and he also worked as a security guard at a local club and was always LOVED and known by everyone there.

Ryan became sick with Lyme Disease about 4 years ago with and initially recovered after a long hard couple of years of treatment, which was a tough time for both Ryan and myself.

However, after getting better, Ryan returned to work after the two long gruelling years of treatment and had an accident literally within the first week of going back.

He instantly started having symptoms within a short space of time, and these symptoms carried on to the point where Ryan had to stop working, and so the journey began......

Ryan carried on for around 8 months of his original treatment to know avail. He then tried another protocol called the Cowden Protocol which didn’t do anything. He then tried another herbal protocol which didn’t really do much either.

After about a year and a half, Ryan also gave antibiotics a go to which did hardly anything..

Ryan then began using essential oils in large quantities that were recommended by people online, along with the help of his practitioner and this is where Ryan started to decline.

Ryan started having seizures, confusion, pains etc to begin with.

This went on and on and kept progressing....with new things happening almost every week at first.

Then after a while it became every day he would feel different.

Everyday Ryan would keep complaining of “another thing” that was scaring him and happening.

We kept going to the hospital, then a few days later we’d be back, then a few more days later we’d be back again, then we’d be ringing up the Dr’s sugery.

Just months and months and months of appointments after appointments....and everything has been coming back clear, even though Ryan has been deteriorating.

We’re now months later and Ryan has been progressing and getting worse rapidly! He’s just been deteriorating, and it breaks my heart to watch my son get so bad, and for him only be able to do so much about it, despite how strong he is and how much he has already beaten.

He’s now having, convulsions, seizures, slurring of speech, weakness, late stage alziemers type symptoms, confusion, pains in parts of his body......the list of symptoms just makes me angry

Ryan is not well and we don’t know how much longer he will be able to hold on because of how much his symptoms have progressed recently.

We’re doing everything we can right now to stop this.......but we need your help.......

But our funds are limited and we have ran out of money almost completely to the point where we have nothing left.

Ryan needs to get immediate treatment right away....and there is a place that will more than likely be able to help Ryan that deal with very tough neurological Lyme cases.

The place is called Bio Salud in Spain.

We just need the funds, as even though they are successful, they are charging us €17,000 for the first part of the treatment, and about another €10,000 for the second part.

Please people, I love my son and I don’t want him to go anyway. He means so much to me....and he has children who he loves dearly that need him.......

Please, please, please, will someone help as if it’s left too late Ryan won’t make it.

We have around 10-12 days maximum for Ryan to get a flight over there.....and we need all the financial support we can get.

Please someone please help us.

My darling son wants nothing more than to live and be himself again.

Please people Ryan needs you right now.

Please get in touch if you can help and let me know.

Kind regards,


Marilyn Smith and family
