I am looking for llmds in California and in

Canada. I would like to know all the list

of llmds in those areas. Also could anyone

tell me the difference between ND and MD when

it comes to lyme disease. Can ND legally

authorize lyme test and prescribe medications

such as antibiotics? Your help is much needed

and appreciated.

I sent you a list of LLMD's (Lyme Literate MD's) in Northern California (click on the flashing envelope above). I am not aware of anyone in Western Canada at all. Perhaps someone else will come along who can help with that.

You could also call Support Groups in Northern CA and see if they know of any Canadian docs near you. There's a link on the upper left side of this page. Support Groups are listed by state.

I see that Betty sent you doctor names in the Seattle area so I didn't include them...

You asked whether a ND can prescribe antibiotics. I am fairly certain that they can't write prescriptions of any kind. You will need to go to a MD or DO.

Another possibility would be to contact the Lyme Disease Association. Their website doesn't include Canada but it's possible that they could recommend someone for you.

Hi, mbroderick,

Thank you so very much for your prompt and kind

response and good info. If my plan to see a llmd

in Seattle does not work out, I will definitely

make good use of your info. God bless.
