Biography
Meet Shari, a survivor, a fighter, and a scientific mind on a mission to create awareness about a condition that's often overlooked and underreported in the medical community. After enduring over two dozen surgeries and almost losing her life due to a Type-IV metal allergy, Shari was left with a list of symptoms over 50 items long, and a compromised immune system that led to Lyme disease and multiple chronic infections.
Despite being dismissed by doctor after doctor due to "normal" test results, Shari's determination and scientific background helped her deduce the cause of her debilitating health and mostly overcome the effects of her metal allergy. She also achieved full remission from Lyme, viruses, and co-infections, after being bedridden for years.
