Medical schools do not concentrate on nutrition and most doctors have little to no knowledge about it. Hopefully, this is changing.

Different, but similar it seems... I have yet to hear of one that says eating sugar is fine, for example. Most seem to stress low sugar, low carb....

I also was told no restrictions..... i thought it was due to my weight being so low. I never was a junk food junkie to begin with.... but i am watching what i eat.

Some believe you should not take certain supplements to starve the lyme, others believe that this is bad because the lyme is going to eat what it needs and if you don't supplement then you will end up weak so you have to supplement...
Interesting...

Very few MDs, DOs or even Naturopaths do nutrition anymore. The cynic would say that they are more interested in selling drugs, vitamins, supplements and herbs to their patients because there is no money in nutrition counseling.
You have to go to a Nutritionist if you want this type of counseling. Since lyme is such a complicated illness, you would need to find one experienced with the disease.

I asked my LLMD just the other day about the supplement thing - he took me off them. It is not that they feed the Lyme, but that they depress the body's own immune system.
