The website is www.sierraintegrative.com

To board administrators: This is NOT a Lyme doctor or a clinic that treats lyme disease specifically. This is a complementary medicine clinic.

I was just wondering if anyone has been here or heard or them. The website has a lot of Lyme Disease testimonials. They use complemetary medicine and not antibiotics.

Wow- so wierd that you posted this. Just this past weekend I was told about an individual in the area that I grew up in that is at this very clinic (currently). The person who told me about this individual actually had some informational materials from this clinic, and I was able to phone the clinic the other day and request the same info. for myself. I know that one of their booklets is on Lyme (and from the quick glance that I got at it, it also includes information on some of the co-infections).

I checked out their website as well (just to see what the place was all about), and the testimonials therein do have a lot of people afflicted with Lyme and other more difficult to treat diseases (heavy metal/mold illness, lupus, undiagnosable conditions, etc.).

It seems that various treatment protocols are embraced; from phototherapy, abx usage, and various supplements. It might be a place to consider if one has failed on conventional treatment.

If I happen to find out any more about the individual who is currently being treated at the clinic, I will let you know.

One thing that seems a little amiss about some of the Lyme-related testimonials is this: the disease is listed incorrectly as "Lyme's."

Well its good to know that someone else has heard of it! I didn't know that they used abx also. The testimonials said that they felt better in 4-6 weeks! Perhaps that is too good to be true, but still intrigues me. I would love to hear about the individual you know being treated there. Please keep me posted!

This clinic is more alternative than traditional western medicine. The doctor will use pharma drugs if he feels the need but tries to stay away from them.

I have some friends that have been, some have had great success there and some just saw slight improvement.
