I see nothing about their being knowledgeable about lyme and other tick-borne disease (TBD).
If you have articles or other information to show that they are ILADS-educated and know all about lyme and other TBD, it'd be great to post a link to that.
If you are interested in specific support measures for lyme patients, it is vital that you get that from experts who are educated in lyme and TBD. Lyme is so very unique that we deserve to be treated by professionals who are educated in this.
Just trying to get the body stronger is not enough and will not work if lyme is present. Lyme must be addressed. Now, how you do that may vary but it must be specific to spirochetal infections (in all phases and forms), comprehensive and for long enough.
There are a few LL NDs (naturopathic physcians) who are also members of ILADS. Some of the LL NDs also incorporate antibiotics (abx) with nutritional therapy just as some LLMDs incorporate support measures with abx tx.
Good luck.

This book, by an ILADS member LLMD, holds great information about treatments options and support measures:
The International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) provides a forum for health science professionals to share their wealth of knowledge regarding the management of Lyme and associated diseases.

Thanks for your reply.
A friend of mine met a women in Co who told her this lady had cured her of all symptoms of Lyme.
She had also, had Lyme for many years.
Just wondering..I really want to get off of these abx's.

I went to Dr. Young at assertive wellness about 6 years ago. I had had Lyme for 5 years and was debilitated....horrible insomnia, had to quick working, in pain all the time. I had tried all kinds of treatments including years of antibiotics. Nine months into her protocol and I was completely better....the trick is that she actually detoxes the lyme out of your body...the protocol is very intensive and has a step by step way of getting it out of your system. I have been free of Lyme disease for six years now. I credit her with saving my life.
