Thank you. Very informative. Yet very depressing to see how little agreement there is among the great minds of the community.

I thought there was actually quite a lot of agreement between these experts.
Good to see the positive success percentages these doctors give to some of the herbal treatments.

It's nice to see that they are admitting that long term chronic lyme is not curable. It's about time the truth came out. The best we can do is to improve to a level of normalcy and continue with a healthy lifestyle and proper maintenance.

lulu,
I think Lyme is curable. But first one must define CURE.
I looked it up and here's what I got...
CURE (kyr) n. 1. Restoration of health; recovery from disease. 2. A method or course of medical treatment used to restore health.
3. An agent, such as a drug, that restores health; a remedy. 4. Something that corrects or relieves a harmful or disturbing situation: The cats proved to be a good cure for our mouse problem. 5. Ecclesiastical Spiritual charge or care, as of a priest for a congregation.
Cure: A cure or remission is the end of a medical condition.
^ Very interesting definitions considering most on here use remission in place of cure (claiming the 2 have different meanings)
I'm not sure there's a difference between the 2 : )

I guess I've always considered a cure when there is no chance of relapse. It's that hope for a cure that is going to keep people on abx even when it may not be possible.
