I'm hoping someone can tell me if there are doctors out there who use the Salt/C protocol or is this strictly a patient directed treatment?
I'm not looking for doctors or doctor names, just curious if this protocol is doctor directed.

As I understand it, there are no LLMDs who suggest this.
Some lyme patients have found good benefit from Salt/C for additional parasites in the G.I. tract.
As for addressing whether salt can deal with the total spirochete situation in every part of our body, you'd need to do some research on that.
First, it's important to be checked by your doctor first to be sure you do not have: high blood pressure; diabetes; any variations of cardiac rhythm; or any kidney problems. Those with inner ear problems, too, would have to avoid excess salt.
While sea salt in normal amounts in the diet is far better than regular table salt, increases in sodium can cause some severe problems for some people. Here's more here to study before starting increasing salt to be sure this would be a good fit:

Dr K. an LLMD puts his pts on it. I believe he pulses it. He believes(as do I) that all people with Lyme have parasites and worms.
I have had great success with it and am 80-90% better. Check out www.lymephotos.com

My curiosity is whether any doctor endorses it or uses it as a protocol for Lyme. I have a lot of concerns about it but the topic keeps popping up in my support groups.

I've been doing Salt/C now for 4 months. I developed POTS syndrome along the way for which High salt intake is recommended. My POTS is about 90% gone now using Salt/C and Rife together.
My Lyme is getting better overall as well. If I had to say which is working better, I'd lean towards the Rife as I Herxed like crazy from it in the beginning, and now getting relief with with my Rife treatments.
I still do the Salt/C, but not as heavy as before due to the Rife results. My head is finally clear most of the time. I'm mainly dealing with musculoskelatal issues now and I get terrible stiff neck and neck pain just before I Rife.
I am doing Salt/C as I type this right now. I tried antibiotics and never had the success I'm having now. For the record, I have never done more than 6 Grams of Salt/C per day, but still do seem to benefit from just that dose.
I don't dilute my body with water like those doing 20gm of Salt/C, so I think I get the same effect.
It's a personal choice, so I don't push this on anyone. I guess my problem is that although LLMD's do care and want to see us all get well, there is no gold standard when it comes to antibiotics. It seems to be alot of guess work.
Even though there are guidelines out, I just don't see enough people reporting success, not that there arn't any, as I have seen a few report success with antibiotics, but more that arn't getting well compared with those that are.
Just my thoughts.
