The Trust facilitates innovative programmes and projects cultivating the knowledge to heal minds, bodies, communities and land.

“A remarkable book from a very experienced and deeply committed herbal practitioner, Lost in Lyme is packed with pragmatic help for those whose health has been changed by Lyme disease. This is such a practical book, so needed, whether for practitioners or patients, and includes a gloriously detailed ‘plant profiles’ section on beneficial herbal medicines that can be of great value to helping recovery.”Anita Ralph MSc MNIMH MCPP, herbalist and author of Native Healers“An important book on a subject of growing importance for therapists and the general public. Packed with practical suggestions as well as some great recipes this book provides an in-depth introduction to the disease, as well as to mainstream diagnosis and treatment and the natural approaches."Martin Powell, biochemist, traditional and Chinese medicine practitioner, and author of Medicinal Mushrooms“Impressive book amazing achievement! As a medical doctor with many years of experience in diagnosing and treating patients with Lyme disease, I am delighted to recommend Julia’s valuable insights and contribution to this under-recognised and under-treated condition without a moment’s hesitation.”Dr Siegfried Trefzer MD, integrated medicine physician“Lyme disease may be easy to catch but can be very difficult to diagnose and treat. The book’s accessible format is ideal for patients looking for advice, while its in-depth discussion of all aspects of the disease will be appreciated by professionals.”Penelope Ody NIMH, medical herbalist and author
