Tick-borne illnesses can affect multiple systems in the body — and show up in surprisingly different ways.

There can be overlap between stages, and standard tests often miss hidden infections like Lyme disease and its co-infections. 🦠

That’s why we’re proud to partner with ArminLabs, offering advanced, highly sensitive testing to uncover what’s often missed:
🧬 Lyme disease (Borrelia)
🐜 Tick-borne co-infections — Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia & more
🦠 Chronic viruses linked to autoimmunity
🔬 Mycoplasma & Chlamydia pneumoniae

Trusted by practitioners worldwide, ArminLabs combines scientific precision with a focus on finding root causes 🌱 – so you (and your patients) can get clarity and informed care.

🦠 Many infertility cases remain “unexplained”... but what if important pieces of the puzzle are simply being missed?

In this upcoming AONM webinar, Inna Duckworth explores the emerging role of stealth pathogens in complex fertility cases — and why hidden infections may be contributing to recurrent implantation failure, impaired embryo development, pregnancy loss, and other unexplained reproductive challenges.

Drawing on specialist clinical experience, this session will look at:
-When to suspect hidden infections
-Gaps in conventional fertility testing
-Key clinical patterns and pathogen profiles seen in practice

Whether you are a practitioner looking to expand your fertility toolkit, or someone searching for answers beyond “everything looks normal”, this webinar offers a real case-based, evidence-informed perspective on what may be overlooked… and what can be done about it.

On Sunday, AONM had the pleasure of supporting THE PERRIN TECHNIQUE™ 18th Annual Conference in London, themed “The Perrin Technique in a Functional Context.”

It was a really interesting and inspiring day, bringing together practitioners, researchers, doctors and specialists to share ideas and discuss the latest thinking around complex conditions such as ME, Long Covid, fibromyalgia, autonomic dysfunction and mitochondrial health.

There was a real sense of collaboration throughout the day, with everyone united by the same goal… improving support and outcomes for people living with these complex conditions.

We even had some new AONM merchandise on display at our stand, and we’re sharing a few photos from the day below!

The conference taking place during ME Awareness Week made it feel even more meaningful, especially around International ME/CFS Awareness Day on 12th May.

We were also incredibly proud of our very own Gilian Crowther, who delivered a fantastic presentation entitled: “What are stealth pathogens, and has their therapy changed following Covid?”

A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising such a thoughtful and engaging event!

In this clip from our recent interview at ILADS, Michael Cook BSc, Independent Lyme disease Researcher discusses his perspective on the scale of Lyme disease in the UK and reflects on the importance of learning from the experiences of those affected.

Tonight, Michael joins Kirstie Haysman and Sarah Grace for From Challenge to Change: Voices of Lyme & Lived Experience, a webinar centred around the realities of living with Lyme disease, the challenges patients face, and the power of shared experiences.

As part of Lyme Disease Awareness Month, this session aims to create a safe and supportive space for patients, families, and anyone navigating Lyme to feel informed, understood, and less alone.

Happening Tomorrow!

In support of Lyme Disease Awareness Month, we’re bringing together three individuals who have been personally affected by Lyme disease to share their lived experiences.

This webinar is a safe, open space for patients, families, and anyone navigating Lyme to hear real stories: the challenges, setbacks, and day-to-day realities of living with this condition.

Our speakers will speak honestly about their journeys, including diagnosis, ongoing symptoms, and the ups and downs that can come with Lyme. It’s a chance to feel less alone, learn from others, and hear perspectives not always shared in clinical settings.

We hope this session offers connection, understanding, and support, wherever you are on your journey.

🎤 Featuring: Michael Cook, Kirstie Haysman, and Sarah Grace
