Homebase: NC, USA
Severe Illness Onset: July 2022
BFP Start Date: September 2023
Why I Created Born Free Basics
In the summer of 2022, COVID hit me like a ton of bricks, plunging my life into what I can only describe as the ninth circle of Dante's Inferno—but with less poetry and more heart palpitation, panic attacks, and sleepless nights.
That was just the beginning.
Within one month of contracting COVID—and finding help from no medical source I tried—I slipped off a cliff into extremely severe LC/MECFS. Stuck in bed 99% of the day and staring down the barrel of a fully loaded double-shotgun and trapped in a painful, debilitating hell of constant agony and suffering with an incurable disease in my early 40s, I decided to gamble it all on finding a root cause fix.
Then I found Joshua Leisk's Born Free Protocol in September of 2023.
The BFP, as I call his protocol, is my lifeline in a sea of medical mumbo jumbo. I dove headfirst into this recovery journey and am now climbing out of the health pit one step at a time. Spoiler alert: I'm getting there.
Inspired by my own plot twist of curing an "incurable" illness, I built the Born Free Basics website to as a way to share the Josh Leisk's protocol and its incredible insights into chronic illness.
It's my way of passing the baton, making sure this protocol is as easy to follow as possible. Because let's face it, we all deserve to be in tip-top shape. Health isn't just wealth; it's your ticket to true freedom.

SEVERE, DEBILITATING CHRONIC ILLNESS (2022-2023)
June 2022 - May 2023
May 2023 - August 2023
Contract Covid. Within two days, feel "system collapsing." Suffer tachychardia, extreme fear, can't sleep, can't stand up straight, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, indigestion. Denied Paxlovid by nine doctors. Receive Mabs instead. Go for tests and approved interventions for a few weeks. By July 2022, full and complete collapse into severe MECFS/LC and 99% bedridden. Obtain some stability with triple clot therapy via Dr. Vaughn in Alabama. Still bedbound, unable to sit up, talk for extended periods, bathe, watch media, listen to music, tolerate light and sound, and do basic self care. Feel "like I'm dying" 99% of the day. Need full time care from my husband to survive.
Travel to New Jersey for care; am treated by Dr. Myung Chung at the Chung Institute in Moorestown, NJ. Go from 5% function to 50% (from extremely severe to severe MECFS/LC) in roughly 3 months. Have to learn how to walk, sit up, eat, shower, and do basic limited functions gain. Still crashing/running out of energy each day by 1 p.m. but am not at point where I can't eat, talk, lift my phone, go to toilet on my own.
Sept 2023 - Present
I start the Born Free Protocol, in earnest. See symptom flare resolution and holistic resolution that brings me from severe to moderate severity (50% to 70% ability) within 3 months of BFP. I am now on stage two of the protocol and still seeing progress. I will continue. I have energy, stamina, blood clotting issues are resolving as are blood pressure and PEM/fatigue. I have been well enough to build Born Free Basics in my quest to help others access and understand the BFP.
What is Born Free Basics?
Welcome to a place where your chronic health condition is believed and your health journey is supported.
I founded Born Free Basics with a simple, yet powerful belief: Everyone deserves to know about the health options that are available for chronic, hard to treat conditions.
I created this website to be a vibrant, digitized hub for sharing knowledge, personal stories, and the latest Born Free Protocol theories that explore the important and hard-to-deny intersection between chronic inflammatory illness, gut dysbiosis, malnutrition, pathogen overgrowth, biofilms, toxins, and viral reactivation.
Born Free Basics was made for you.
