How does one go about finding a good LLND? Does anyone have suggestions for the NJ/PA area?

I'd love to know the answer to this question as well. I'm in NJ and have done some research online. There are NDs but I have yetvto find one who is specifically a LLND. If you have any luck please share your results. Thanks!

Naturopathic doctors aren't necessarily Lyme Literate, as they are Holistic - they believe that all body parts are connected and need to work together, so they see infections differently than Western Medicine docs.

The best thing to do is to find one with a lot of experience treating a wide range of medical issues and then call and ask them questions like have they ever treated Lyme and what their protocol would be.

Most of the questions to ask a LLMD listed on page 2 of our 'New to Lyme?" thread could be very helpful in this situation as well.
