Bella Hadid, along with her mother Yolanda Hadid and her brother Anwar Hadid, have all been diagnosed with Lyme disease. They likely contracted the disease through tick bites, which is the most common way Lyme disease is transmitted. Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, commonly known as deer ticks.
Yolanda Hadid has been quite vocal about her family’s struggle with Lyme disease, bringing more attention to the condition and its impact. Bella has shared that she was diagnosed in early 2012, though symptoms may have been present earlier. This condition can lead to significant health issues if not diagnosed and treated early, which has been part of the broader conversation Yolanda Hadid has encouraged around Lyme disease awareness and research.
Yolanda Hadid, prominent celebrity on the reality show Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012. Until this year, the diagnoses of her two children Bella and Anwar Hadid had been kept from the public eye.
After being honored at the Global Lyme Alliance Gala in New York City early October, Yolanda announced to the crowd that her two youngest children were also diagnosed with Lyme and had been suffering in silence for the past three years.
The heart-wrenching speech revealed the reality star’s true struggle with the disease and the chronic symptoms the tick-born illness produces.
During her announcement, Yolanda proclaims, “When my two youngest children, Bella (18) and Anwar (16), were diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in early 2012, watching my babies struggle in silence in order to support me in my journey, struck the deepest core of hopelessness inside of me.”
The Painful Symptoms
Many who suffer from Lyme and have been left either untreated or misdiagnosed feel the same hopelessness Yolanda Foster attested to during her speech. The frustration of dealing with pain that is perceived to be imagined or exaggerated is extremely common, especially with cases that have been left undiagnosed for years on end.
On and off fatigue, brain fog, muscle aches, and various neurological symptoms can be all attributed to Lyme disease. The scope is so wide and varied from person to person that the disease is often misdiagnosed.
Even after diagnosis, Yolanda proclaimed on her blog earlier this year that she could no longer “read, write, or even watch TV.” Antibiotic treatments are not always an end-all cure to Lyme disease. Many patients relapse and suffer symptoms on and off for years after diagnosis and treatment.
Yolanda Foster’s War Against Lyme
Yolanda Hadid has joined the ranks of other affected celebrities in the fight against Lyme disease. Publically, she vowed to her children that she would fight to find a cure. Yolanda isn’t alone. Like many Lyme sufferers, she has learned that the disease is far more common than statistically perceived. Yolanda and her family must endure the debilitating effects of Lyme while she looks for a cure.
After Yolanda’s children moved out of their lavish Malibu mansion, Yolanda and husband David Foster have recently decided to sell the dream home in an effort to focus on her recovery. As Yolanda and her two children continue to suffer the symptoms of Lyme, they are forced to alter their way of living in order to recover. Despite diagnosis and treatment, Yolanda and her family are continually dealing with the long-term effects of Lyme disease as they seek out a cure.
Dealing with a Chronic Lyme Disease Infection
When and if Lyme sufferers are finally diagnosed, they are directed to take antibiotics every day for at least two to four weeks. If diagnosed very early on, antibiotics can be effective and rid the body of the bacterial infection. But, in reality, most patients are diagnosed years after initial infection and they are suffering from a spectrum of symptoms due to the pervasiveness of the infection and affect it has on other bodily systems. In these cases, it usually takes antibiotics plus a comprehensive Lyme Disease treatment regimen to relieve the symptoms of Lyme disease.
The LifeWorks Lyme Disease Treatment Protocol
At LifeWorks Wellness Center, we approach Lyme disease from the inside out using an alternative treatment protocol. Antibiotics, especially if used for a long period of time, create an imbalance in the gut. The good bacteria that defend the digestive system are killed off by antibiotics and this leaves your immune system open for a resurgence of Lyme and other infections.
With ozone therapy, supercharged oxygen (O3) is administered via Biophoton Therapy & UVBI treatment. By oxygenating the blood, you are giving your body the armor it needs to fight off the bacteria holistically. Low oxygen levels are repeatedly tied to chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, and even cancer.
