I am a registered nurse who receives many calls regarding Lyme and Morgellons patients. I am currently trying to locate a practitioner in the Elyria, Ohio area, zip code 44035. Preferably they should be familiar with alternative therapies along with conventional medicine...Integrative MD. Thank you for your help.

I suggest you tell patients to contact the lyme support groups in Ohio. There should still be one near Cleveland.
Just click on Support Groups on the left side of the page.
You can even try groups in other nearby states.
These groups will have up-to-date information on the doctors who specialize in lyme in your area. That is very, very important as doctors can change how they practice over time. Don't want anybody spending a lot of money on a lyme specialist and being disappointed.
Also, advise them all to read and STUDY the Burrascano Lyme Treatment Guideines found here:
You must attack both the regular and cyst (or other) form of lyme simultaneously--requires at least 2 different antibiotics taken together to do so.
You must test the patient for all co-infections and other physical ailments (thyroid, etc.) and treat everything the person has.
You must treat all co-infections the patient has (including babesiosis, bartonella, ehrlichia, mycoplasma, etc.) or the patient will not get well.
You must use Igenex for most of these tests--they are a tick-borne disease speciality lab in Calif.
You must use very high doses of antibiotics to kill the diseases (batericidal doses).
You must give the patient supplements, probiotics, herbs such as artimesinin if babesiosis is suspected, and require adherence to rules such as low carb diet, no alcohol, no smoking, rest, and exercise as the patient is able to do it.
You must treat at least 2 months after all symptoms have disappeared (if sick at least 1 year).
These are just a few of the important points you will see in the guidelines. If possible, you want a doc who does EVERYTHING Burrascano says to do. He treated lyme for over 25 years, and compiled what he learned so that other docs could benefit from it. He was the most successful lyme doctor on the planet. They came from every country in the world to be treated by him.
