Hey KeepHope,
Feel free to e-mail me at
[email protected] and I can give you specifics about
his practice and approach. I am probably not saying anything here that hasn't been said here before, but each case is truly unique and that's exactly how my Lyme doctor approaches it. He is a Mayo-trained Doctor of Internal Medicine who has been practicing for 43 years, but what is refreshing is that he is an "out of the box" thinker when it comes to diagnosing and treating Lyme. You would think he would be one of these "old school" guys with merely "old school" tactics.
One comment about
babesia, which I have been infected with and am being treated for with heavy duty stuff (Mepron, an awful looking and tasting liquid--looks like yellow paint, but I have jokingly referred to it as "Liquid Gold" to my wife because of how costly it is). Babesia is essentially the U.S. version of malaria. Nasty parasite. As most of you probably know, it has a history of being very deadly in Europe where spleen removal is far more common than it is here. But my Lyme doctor is getting increasingly concerned about
the emergence of bartonella as a Lyme co-infection, as it seems this is one of the most difficult co-infections to identify and treat. But a new concern for me is the declining health of my kidneys (levels become a "concern"), which undoubtedly have been hit hard by filtering out all of these meds.
