Sadly bitten again:(. I'm in the York County area, so someone in the area or in northern MD would be helpful. Harford or Baltimore counties are feasible for me to drive to. Thank you so much for any help in advance.

I sent you names for Maryland last year. Let me know if you no longer have the info.

Thank you all! TF, I do have the names you sent me last year, thanks. I wound up not needing them at the time, but now I do.

- I hope the leads offer you what you need.
If you need to explore other avenues to find a LL ND, set below should help.
Also see the newest (last) post. Bunher's book on coinfections is brand new, this month.
Parasites are also more of a focus (as a key coinfection) than the last time you were treated.
Good luck.
------------------------------------------------
When considering herbal / nutritional / adjunct methods:
if at all possible - because each person & each case is different - it's best to consult with an ILADS-educated LL ND (lyme literate naturopathic doctor) (or similar) who has completed four years of post-graduate medical education in the field of herbal and nutritional medicine -
- and someone who is current with ILADS' research & presentations, past and present, and has completed the ILADS Physician Training Program (see: www.ilads.org )
Many LL NDs incorporate antibiotics (depending upon the licensing laws in their state). Some LLMDs and LL NDs have good working relationships.
When possible, it's great to have both a LLMD and LL ND and even better when they have a long-standing professional relationship.
Integrative / Holistic M.D., etc. (Be aware that those in this category can have various levels of formal herbal &/or nutritional education, perhaps even just a short course. Do ask first.)
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 from all corners of medicine;
knowing which supplements have direct impact, which are only support and which are both.
You can compare and contrast many approaches.
