Jeanne Grant’s Bio: Jeanne Grant is the founder of the Lyme Revive Foundation, a nonprofit organization born from her personal experience with Lyme disease and her mission to offer hope and healing to others affected by the illness. After enduring severe symptoms that left her bedridden for three years, Jeanne, along with three of her five children, faced the devastating impacts of Lyme disease. Despite years of treatment, including antibiotics and a Rife Machine, Jeanne found a life-changing solution through a cationic mineral formula. This formula, which led to her miraculous recovery, inspired her to create the Lyme Revive Foundation, which educates the public, funds treatments for those in need, and supports Lyme disease research and awareness. Jeanne’s foundation helps families navigate the challenges of Lyme disease and provides resources to improve their quality of life.
