Wheelchair Success Stories
At Sponaugle Wellness Institute, we believe truly “holistic” wellness treatment should not only heal the body, but it should also heal the brain!! The brain is our most complex organ. Optimizing brain function in sick patients requires extraordinary knowledge of brain physiology, modern brain science, and the expertise derived from treating thousands of patients with brain disorders.
We succeed where others have failed. At Sponaugle Wellness Institute, bedridden patients or wheelchairs for years have hope that they will be able to walk again. We cannot enable every patient we treat to come out of their wheelchair. However, 47 chronic Lyme disease patients have come out of their wheelchairs at Sponaugle Wellness Institute.
Faced with debilitating symptoms that were affecting his business and home life, Tom went from physician to physician seeking a diagnosis.

On his final day of treatment, Tom was compelled to face the staff and other patients to give a speech on his life-changing experience at Sponaugle Wellness. To watch his speech, exit interview, PET scan imaging, and information on Tom, click here.

Lindsay came to us after being diagnosed with Lyme Disease and the highest level of Mold Toxicity we’ve ever seen. Dizziness, fainting, numbness in her limbs, extreme anxiety, nausea, and fatigue so badly she could barely get out of bed. Muscle and joint stiffness and extreme neck pain, accompanied by depression, insomnia, her teeth started breaking and she would lose vision for half-hour periods at a time. Lindsay felt like she was going to die.
Lyme and Mold weakened Benjamin’s immune system so severely that it spun him into an intense depression. He remembers seeing a plane overhead on his drive home and wishing for it to crash into his car and end his pain.
