An LLND in Oregon. Anyone know her?

There are several ILADS-educated LLMDs and LL NDs in the Seattle area, half the distance for you to travel to the Oregon State line. Not sure why you'd double the travel miles.

Be sure to contact the lyme support group near the city where you are considering this Dr. H.

And be absolutely certain that she is ILADS-educated. Several of the NDs in Oregon and Washington are ILADS members who keep current with conferences, etc.

The Oregon Lyme Disease Network, itself is closing (due to lack of funding). However, various support groups around the state are still working hard.

I recently met a doctor in Victoria, BC who was friends with who he called "an ILADS trained Naturopath" in Oregon named Dr. Honey....(Honi...)?

He was going to call her about something Lyme related and I was obviously thinking about being treated in Victoria by proxy.

Maybe I heard the name wrong...not sure...

migs, thanks for that memory jogger. That really helped.

So, it seems that you won't be making the drive yourself but wanted to know if the doctor there in Victoria had a good mentor on his hands in this ND.

Looks like it. She is ILADS-educated and has been for a couple years.

I do recall that name now as a ND in the Corvallis / Eugene area, a couple hours south of Portland.

I know someone (with an extremely complex case) from that area who was seeing her but now travels to a LLMD in the Seattle area.

I just contacted that person and see if they have the energy to drop you a sort PM. Though, they may be out of town right now. Not sure.

migs,

Not sure what is going on. I had been all over that ND's website and it was just fine. I went back to look at a few things and there is a huge black scrawl all over each of the links.

That is very odd and somewhat horrifying, really in the way it's done.

Tried connecting back through Google and also got the horrible scribble.

I left a phone message for her about this. Her office is not open on Fridays.

Oh, my!

Interesting Keebler...the website seems to be working fine for me. Sending an PM.

Posted by Keebler (Member # 12673) on :

LymeAware,

Yeah, that site is now working for me, too.

migs,

LymeAware is the person I had asked to communicate with you.

To be sure to get the PM that LymeAware sent you, be sure to log in. Otherwise, you won't see that you've got mail.

Hope all this helps with your decision process.

migs,

In addition to finding out more about the specifics of regional doctors, you might want to take a look at the various articles & books here for some points of reference:
--------------

http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/2/13964

How to find an ILADS-educated LL:

N.D. (Naturopathic Doctor);

L.Ac. (Acupuncturist);

D.Ay. (Doctor of Ayurvedic Medicine);

D.O.M. (Doctor of Oriental Medicine);

Integrative / Holistic M.D., etc.

Links to many articles and books by holistic-minded LL doctors of various degrees who all have this basic approach in common:

Understanding of the importance of addressing the infection(s) fully head-on with specific measures;

Knowing that support supplements are important, but NEVER enough alone. And knowing which supplements have direct impact, which are only support and which are both.

You can compare and contrast many approaches.

BASIC HERBAL EDUCATIONAL links, and

BODY WORK links with safety tailored to lyme patients,

RIFE links,

BIONIC 880 (& PE-1) links, and

LOW HEAT INFRARED SAUNA detail.
