Starving to Heal in Siberia

Michelle Slater had a long battle with and recovery from late-stage neurological Lyme disease, which served as the genesis for her book, “Starving to Heal in Siberia”.

Debilitated by the disease to the extent that she was no longer able to teach at her university or perform simple tasks like driving and reading, Michelle spent several years pursuing every known treatment, from aggressive allopathic methods to holistic remedies that didn’t work.

In her new book, Starving to Heal in Siberia Dr. Slater explains her radical recovery from late-stage Lyme disease and How It Could Help Others.

When all failed to deliver recovery, she discovered a dry fasting program and spent two months in Siberia under a doctor’s care. She recovered completely from Lyme disease, regaining her memory and returning to researching, writing, hiking, and running. Since 2017, she has not experienced a single symptom. 

Dr. Slater is a scholar of comparative literature and president of the educational non-profit Mayapple Center for the Arts and Humanities in Connecticut. https://michelleslater.com
