- ILADS is an educational website, not an online discussion group. They are more of an educational website, although they do have a "connect" tab upper right of their homepage:
FIND YOUR STATE GROUP - online discussion / connection -

- Going back to the name you mentioned -
Oh, I see why this is confusing - while the term, itself, does describe what they do and makes sense to state it that way, it mirrors part of ILADS' name to let people know it's more than jus lyme.
I do not see an online discussion tab here, though.
They may have something like that if you contact them directly, though, perhaps a more private discussion board? Or maybe you are looking for their Q & A Webinar?
These are very knowledgeable doctors, indeed - an MD & ND and they are ILADS educated / minded - yet not sure about their current treatment focus. I'm not "endorsing them" yet would certainly put them in a top category of considerations to study before you make a choice.
I have spoken to both by phone on different occasion but could never manage getting to see them for budget and travel reasons. That was many years ago. I have since read much of their work and am very impressed and also thankful they make so much available online.
As to making a decision if one or the other / or both are going to be the best fit for your needs:
See what kind of lectures / presentations online you can find of theirs to also inform your decision. They have many free articles at their site, etc.
Talk to the lyme support groups in Washington state and also around the Seattle and Belleview areas. More people there will have seen them in person.
Also call Bastyr Naturopathic University CLINIC (in the Seattle area) and see if you can talk to someone there. Ask first, who they would recommend in private practice. They may well offer the name of the ND here. That's how I found her many years ago. See if she is still on their referral list.
Dr. S has a new one out soon, follow up to excellent "The Lyme Disease Solution" -

Thanks keebler. Im not really looking for a doc. I think my lyme is pretty much under control as much as it can be. I know mold is an issue and have been trying to treat it for a year
On mold sites i saw ppl saying that place was good but nothing. of it was familiar to me so i wanted to check with ppl i trust. Thanks
