Does anyone out there have any experience, positive/negative with any of these three doctors?
I am looking for someone who is very knowledgeable not just in abx, but herbs and supplements (and can recommend brands,) someone who REALLY understand the desease in depth, and how it correlates to mold, yeast, co-infections?
I have read numerous books on lyme and am starting to realize that many doctors just use the abx/probiotic route and that is just NOT enough, especially when one has mold/yeast issues.
If none of these docs can do it, can you recommend someone who can?

I dont know about the other two, but Dr D. in MA is the exact type of Dr you're saying you want to avoid. He doesn't even suggest probiotics or look for coinfections.

Dr H in NY is VERY thorough...very expensive, but good. Sounds what you're after. Best of luck.

I havve heard Same for Dr D. Dr M in CT covers the full spectrum and My mother sees him and he is absolutey wonderful from what she says and I see a major major improvement in her. I plan on seeing him in a few months bt for now I am dealing with wonderfully knowledgeable RNP here in RI. SHe has studied under some of the best but seems to stick to more f the regular pharm approach as well as supplemments. If you are interested in contact info PM me and I would be happy to share for both Practitioners.

I was a patient of Dr. D in MA and currently with Dr. H in NH. While Dr. D is the first one who diagnosed me with Lyme and a very nice man, he does not cover co-infections or anything else for that matter.
I have been a patient of Dr. H now for 10 months and feel I am getting somewhere, he's great, very thorough. He is willing to listen to suggestions from the patient also and go with them. He has Lyme himself although he's almost 100%. He was a patient of Dr. H in NY and follows Burrascano Guidelines.
Any questions, PM me please.

Dr. H in NY is good. Positives - very thorough and hits Lyme/coinfections from different angles with meds and herbs, knows supplements and detox. If you want to hit it hard with both abx and herbs in many combos, he's your guy.
Negatives - did not test for mold but did treat me for it when I said I had been exposed, and relied on stool testing for parasites so didn't treat me for them. I had a big breakthrough on Humaworm that I took on my own.
I was disappointed he didn't ask me about photon treatment since it made me well.
When I was seeing him he told me he "had" lyme but was better.
I'd also ask about Dr. R in NY. I have friends who see him and he is very thorough with them.

I see Dr. H in NH and thinks he's great. He does all that you are looking for, so much so that I have had to tell him that I cannot take on some of his ideas right not, like mold.
I highly recommend him.
