Any American lyme doctor that do Skype consultation?

Im currently being treated in Europe for lyme and coinfections but my doctor doesn't pulse antibiotics. My body can't handle continuous antibiotics.

Unfortunately I don't have the finances to go to USA

Are there are docs that treat remotely. I can get most antibiotics here.

so what's the matter with you being from europe ? germany has some of the best clinics in the world to treat this disease ...
also when u say "my doctor doesnt pulse" why don't you change your doctor and get another LLMD ? start another thread on this forum and ask for a LLMD, write your country and city in the subject line, moderators will find you a new LLMD contact, and maybe s/he will pulse abx... it's cheaper than going to the US...

my body cannot handle continuous antibiotics either. there are few on this forum that can say they never took any breaks from abx....

the initial consult has to be in person, the followups to see how your doing can be done on the phone, but i dont think they can be called consultations, they are just updates for the doctor to know your condition and maybe adjust your treatment.

you cannot consult a person by phone for a tick born disease. a consultation requires
- you to undress yourself so your dr can check your skin for signs of rashes, bartonella scratches etc
- your doctor to get the overall impression of how fatigued you are, skype distorts colors and makes you look like an alien even if u are perfectly healthy
- your doctor to test you for POTS
- your doctor to listen to your heart and that's especially serious with lyme carditis
- usually the dr can do an EKG in his or her office to find if you need immediate attention , for eg if u have abnormal heart rhythms that can be life threatening.
- occasionally your dr can give you a glutathione shot and see whats going to happen ... usually u will feel MUCH better in a matter of minutes, that is also important for diagnosis...

so in my opinion it is irresponsible to treat someone on the phone, without seeing him/her at least once, and then maybe after 6 months again ...

Mine goes longer than 6 months between in-person visits.

I just decided to pulse on my own..and I have had some improvement since switching to that from the everyday dosing.
I did tell my LLND after the fact...and we haven't discussed it since...


If I had to do it all over again - if I knew then what I know now...I would have flown to the U.S. and saw one of the LLMD's there.

I've consulted few clinics in Europe and not came across one that pulsed antibiotics. I will post a new topic asking hopefully there is somewhere. Wish I coukd go to Dr j in Washington!

There's a cheap Clinic in Poland too plus Germany

i don't think we should state here the names of doctors or the names of clinics, based on the rules of this forum. if u want u can activate your email (go to my profile and make your email visible). and you can have a moderator email you lists of LLMDs close to your home or in germany or elsewhere.

i go to a clinic in germany as well, but there are several of them besides the one mentioned here.

btw, i had no reaction on azitromycin, none at all, i don't think it's killing borrelia as well as others, maybe it is killing coinfections... But i did have a violent reaction on mino...

malarone and rifampicin are used to treat babesia and bartonella, and if u had those reactions maybe coinfections is what are worse for you. It is intersting you had no reaction on minocycline. may i ask what dosage you had ?

thanks

I guess Augsburg has one of the best known lyme treatment clinics as far as I heard, I mean, drug-wise, but if these drs. do not use neurotoxin binders, well... I would not recommend it to anyone anymore.!

believe me, they are. they are using some cocktail of herbs and binders, probably the best herbal supplements that are turned into prescription medication that i've seen, some combos of buhner's herbs with some chinese ones, detox etc... i take over 30 herbs from just 3 bottles...

im not sure about abx treatment, i've only done herbal treatment in germany, i took antibiotics for 5 months from a local doctor outside germany, very high dosages and it was very hard....

i am not sure about their herb dosages though, i feel they are too low to have a long lasting remission effect, maybe just keep the bugs in check...

I'll erase the city name too... just in case...

David, just edit your post, it's easy (click on the PENCIL icon).

Great you guys are on good hands.

I guess a lot has to be done on your own.

Just lower the dosage, or pulse yourself (?). I did so much on my own, specially on dosage, that I never bothered to ask them about that.

I let them treat me for whatever they thought was necessary... Like hormones, organ support, teeth, etc...

but herbs, binders, etc, I did on my own, basically. I could not call them every day, right?

Only you can tune this stuff. If I were you, I would just pulse myself, or just lower antimicrobial dose, increase binders.

Otherwise you have to see your drs every week or 2x a week!

I mean, of course, this is not medical advice, it's just how I did on my own...

Both my practitioners let me free, they TOTALLY supported me on that do-by-yourself + their help approach.

I never visit practitioners that try to push their approach as the only approach possible, I mean.

I did do everything they wanted me to do, but I tuned the herbs and treatments in my own way, because of over-reaction.

and I also added LOADS of things on top of what they offered as help. Buhner was one, Chinese herbs, acupuncture, manual lymph drainage, photons, other homeopathics such as Sanum, Heel, some Pekana products....

If you'd like, I can write to you the name of my practitioners... Just let me know and activate your email (I don't let my email on always...).

The clinic give me nac, alpha lipoic acid, glutathione and load sore to help. I honestly either can't handle antibiotics or I can't handle them every day hence why pulse might work

why dont u ask for the herbal treatment they have there ?

Are we allowed to post Buhner's herbalists on this site?
