No, Horowitz uses MSIDS
I'm not sure if using complex is a bad thing,though.
The PTLDS is referring to getting treatment for only a few weeks...and leftover symptoms are 'damage' and not active infection....so no more treatment is prescribed.
Bottom Line/HEALTH: I’m going to ask you this because somebody asked it, and I think we’ve talked about
it but I’m going to ask it specifically—what is chronic Lyme disease complex?
Dr. Richard Horowitz: I don’t particularly use that term. The term that I use is Lyme MSIDS. Many doctors use different terms to describe this. The CDC does not like the term “chronic Lyme disease.” They’ll call it “post-treatment Lyme disease,” and they don’t know what it is—if it’s an autoimmune reaction, we just don’t know. I call it Lyme MSIDS because I’ve discovered that tick-borne co-infections—Babesia, Bartonella, microplasma—they’re making people sick, as are environmental toxins, and not getting to sleep, and mineral deficiencies, food sensitivities, all the things that we discussed. So I call it Lyme MSIDS because it reminds doctors that if you’re not getting better, there may be all of these overlapping factors that are keeping you ill. It kind of makes the patient of the doctor think, “Oh yeah, there’s this 16-point model. I’ve got to go looking to find out why I may not be getting better.”
