A good friend has a relative that has his own business doing...I don't know what to call it... But since I can't afford to see an LLMD, I'm grasping at straws trying to find something, anything, that can help me.
I made an appointment for this evaluation and figured it can't hurt. Here is what the website says about what he does:
"...We use autonomic response testing (ART), an advanced form of muscle testing, to get to the root causes behind your symptoms. �We specialize in clients who have tried everything and still have room for improvement, who want to correct any imbalances in their health situation, and are interested in reaching�a deep level of health and vitality. �
Autonomic response testing is cost effective, non invasive, and research supported, and it allows us to get a deep sense of what is going on in the body. �Using ART, we can get good information about a variety of issues, such as nutrient deficiencies, food allergies, pathogens (Lyme, parasites, etc.), major toxin issues (lead, mercury, pesticides, etc.), biochemical imbalances (hormonal, metabolic, etc.), and energetic and emotional blockages. �
We use a variety of completely individualized holistic protocols, with recommendations about diet, exercise, stress reduction, creating a healthy home environment, herbs and supplements, etc.�"
Does this sound reasonable? I have to admit, I am a bit leery of holistic type medicine, but only because I have no experience with it at all.

I checked out the video on you tube. This is very interesting. I'd like to find a doctor who could do this if it really works. Does anyone else have any input??

If he does ART, he may have studied with with Dr. K (famous LLMD in WA) to learn it, since Dr. K developed ART. If so, he may have learned some about lyme disease.
Not everyone who learns ART also learns about lyme disease, and it's important to have a good lyme-literate doctor...but it's possible that he has gotten some training on lyme. Ask if he's taken any of the trainings on lyme.
I've benefited a great deal from ART. Honestly, at times I've wondered how anyone knows what's happening with a patient without using ART.
However, the practitioner makes a huge difference, as it must be someone with the knowledge to understand the connections, potential issues, etc. Otherwise it is meaningless and won't be done in any helpful way.
I hope this is a good fit for you. I've wondered how you've been MamaBear -- good to see you here, though sorry you are still suffering. Best wishes for your healing process.

I'm curious how this goes for you. I was thinking of watching all the art videos on youtube to see it in action.

He does actually seem to know a lot about Lyme and said it's what he specializes in. I spoke with him on the phone for a bit.) He is finishing up his masters program soon, and the program he studied is Dr K's, though I don't know if he actually studied with him or not.
I'll try very hard to remember to come back here after to update on how it went.
