- There are no LLMDs in Oregon (The Oregon Medical Board is harshly opposed to the idea of lyme and to its proper treatment as well as still uninformed about most other tick-borne infections).
There might be a low key MD here or there who might offer a short term single approach if one has an unquestionable CDC criteria positve test to a brand new case of lyme. Beyond, that, patients are on their own. Chronic Lyme, though, is a step too far in Oregon.
However, there are a few LL NDs who are ILADS trained. But do not make the mistake of thinking that all NDs know about lyme, or know enough no matter how well meaning they may be.
Be sure they have completed the ILADS Physician Training Program as the basic training and keep up with ILADS conference materials, too.
A ND is a naturopathic physician and, in Oregon, they are also licensed in pharmaceutical medicines as well as herbal approaches. Two national groups for the basics:
Get books from Stephen H. Buhner. He not only covers various herbal approaches that one might do while they wait to find a LL doctor but also explains so much about how the various infections affect the body. Just search his name for his website and also books. -
