Diagnosed over 5 years ago and I was able to see Dr. C in MO for one visit. I was unable to continue treatment due to lack of family support and finances.
I have been able to "manage" life since then with diet and lifestyle change but I am tired of just getting by and now I have full support to start treatment back.
I currently live in TX and have a wonderful local Doctor that is geared to natural healing and detox programs and will gladly support me in following an IV routine given by a LLMD.
Distance is not an issue. The majority of my symptoms are Nuero so I am looking for the best recommendations of LLMD anywhere that specialize in Neurological Chronic Lyme.
I loved Dr. C and know that he was highly recommended but since it has been several years and we have moved since then I am open to suggestions and recommendations.
Specifically looking for a LLMD that integrates holistic and IV treatment that will be willing to work closely with my local Dr.
Thanks.

- I hope you get some specific names.
In the meantime, since you are looking toward a holistic LLMD, you might find this thread of help:

Re: integrative approaches when herbs are used
It's best to consult with an ILADS-educated LL doctor who has had 4 years of post-graduate medical education in the field of herbal and nutritional medicine -- and someone who is current with ILADS' research. -----------------------
Integrative / Holistic M.D., etc. (but be aware many in this category are not formally educated in herbal medicine other than a weekend lecture here and there)
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.

- While they do not treat lyme, they have had patients who have lyme.
Identifying Environmental Illness and Mold Exposure in Patients with Persistent Lyme Disease.
Lisa L. Nagy, MD Video $15.
(She is NOT A LLMD, however, she understands the kind of toxicity issues faced by many with lyme. She did not have lyme but overcame very serious MCS. She spoke at the recent ILADS conference.
It's a great presentation to see. The DVD can be ordered. Great detail about toxicity issues also here:
