What if chronic illness isn’t random?
What if millions of people are being misdiagnosed… while the real cause is ignored?
In this explosive episode of The Ultimate Assist, John Stockton and Ken Ruettgers sit down with author, singer-songwriter, and chronic illness advocate Dana Parish to unpack the hidden world of Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, toxic mold, long COVID, and the medical controversy surrounding them all.
After a tick bite nearly destroyed her health, Dana was told it was anxiety, fibromyalgia, and “all in her head.” But her search for answers uncovered a much bigger story — one involving chronic infections, pharmaceutical incentives, disputed science, and a healthcare system many patients say is failing them.
The conversation dives into:
- Why Lyme disease is so difficult to diagnose
- The connection between infections and autoimmune illness
- Long COVID vs. Lyme symptoms
- Toxic mold and chronic inflammation
- Why some doctors dismiss chronic Lyme entirely
- The controversy around vaccines, pharma, and chronic disease
- How Dana rebuilt her life after nearly losing everything
This is one of the most controversial and eye-opening conversations we’ve had yet.
