THE IDEA: TICKTRACKER In July of 2017, 13-year-old Olivia was on vacation in Missouri with her family. While outside Olivia noticed a tick on her dog, Mo (short for Missouri). Olivia & her mom watched the tick start to burrow into Mo’s leg. They quickly found needle nose tweezers to properly remove the tick from Mo. As Olivia was removing the tick she asked her mom, “Is there an app that can show what ticks are around us?” That night Olivia looked online and found that currently there was no app to help track, report, and educate people about ticks. This gave Olivia the idea to create the TickTracker app to help keep everyone safe. Olivia has suffered from chronic Lyme and co-infections since she was 6 years old. She is a Lyme advocate and the founder of The LivLyme Foundation. ABOUT LIVLYME FOUNDATION: LivLyme Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supporting the work of researchers and scientists who are dedicated to finding the effective treatment for Lyme disease and ultimately finding the cure. LivLyme Foundation also provides assistance to children and their families struggling with Lyme Disease through education and funding. We envision a world without Lyme. Working toward this goal, we will provide valuable resources to educate all, support those who are battling Lyme, and help develop the cure. ABOUT LYME DISEASE: Over 350,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme disease every year in the US. This equates to over 29,000 new cases every month, 959 new cases a day, 40 new cases every hour. As the fastest spreading vector-borne (tick-borne) disease in the US, the number of new cases of Lyme is 1.5 times greater than breast cancer and 7 times greater than HIV/AIDS. 200 children get Lyme disease every day, that’s 4 school busses of children a day diagnosed with Lyme. The cost to treat Lyme disease is in excess of $1 billion per year, or approximately $3,000 per patient per year. But, the per-patient cost of treating PTLDS (Post Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome) can be in the $10,000 – $100,000 range. Most insurance plans only cover treatment for the first month, leaving the patient with out of pocket expenses for medication, supplements and treatment. Another challenge that patients face is the rising cost of medicine. Doxycycline, an antibiotic routinely prescribed for treatment of Lyme disease, has increased from $.03 per pill to over $5.00 per pill since 2014. Many patients take two of these per day. Without help, some children won’t be able to get the medication they need.

Many world-renowned Doctors and specialists recommend the program to their patients: Dr. Neil Nathan MD - Global Renowned Expert in Mold Illness, Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine "The majority of patients that I treat with chronic infections, such as Lyme disease, and chronic environmental toxicity, like mold, develop severe limbic dysfunction. I have found Ashok Gupta's program to be of great benefit in helping these patients to heal. In fact, when patients have become unusually sensitive or reactive, it is mandatory that they start with limbic retraining or they are not likely to make much progress. Hundreds of my patients have reported marked benefits from Ashok’s materials and I strongly encourage their use." Evan Brand, CFMP, FNTP - Functional Medicine Expert, Podcast Host and Author "As a Functional Medicine Practitioner, I've suffered my own series of health challenges. The Gupta Program has been the neuroplasticity piece that was missing from my personal and clinical protocols. I'm recommending literally almost every client we have to take the Gupta Program, especially since I've already seen progress in myself using the course. Change is possible!" Beth O'Hara, Doctorate in Naturopathy - Specializing in Functional Naturopathy, Mast Cell Activation (MCAS) and Histamine Specialist "At Mast Cell 360, the Gupta Program is a part of our core program for those with complex, chronic Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Histamine Intolerance, Mold Toxicity, and related conditions. It was such a game-changer for our clients, we made it one of the first steps for anyone starting the Mast Cell 360 program. Thank you for offering this amazing program for those who are suffering to help them get their health and lives back!! It is truly a service to the world." Dr. Michael Ruscio DNM, DC Functional Medicine Expert The Austin Center for Functional Medicine “The Gupta Program is one of a kind, helping patients improve their health in a variety of ways and addressing a multitude of ailments.” Dr. Lauryn Lax, OTR, NTP Doctor of Occupational Therapy, Nutritionist, & Functional Medicine. Author. “This program works! The limbic system-immune connection is an often overlooked link in the chronic illness puzzle and a huge game changer in helping patients bust through the ceilings they are hitting in their health. What I love most about the Gupta Program is its holistic nature. It acknowledges all areas of health (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) so you leave no stones unturned in getting to the root causes of your greatest health challenges."
