The more I read, the more I research, the more confused I am getting. The last 8 months have taken its toll on me mentally. Please help me. I live in Ontario, Canada.

Right now I am thinking of an LLND (naturopath) who told me he follows Burrascano method from British Columbia. DR. C. And in BC they are allowed to prescribe ABX.

And the Ontario Lyme foundation recommended a DR. M from New York.

If I could stick with the LLND in BC, I think I would be able to keep the prescriptions Meds cost under my wifes work benefits. If I go to USA, I would have to pay, but I have no idea what any of this is going to cost.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Has anyone been a patient of either, and have they successfully treated you?

I obviously want someone who administers successful treatments.

The is also a newer Naturopath Doctor in Ontario not far from me, who says she is Lyme Literate. Dr. L..

Not sure why I have to keep it secret when both these Naturopath doctors say they treat Lyme right on their website.

Anyways, please help steer me in the right direction. I am so confused. I just want my life back and to play with my young kids again. I miss my family so much!

Open to any and all suggestions.

Sent you a PM about an LL in Ontario. Trained with Dr. Jo and Dr. Mk.

The LL I sent you is supposed to be real good.

The LL you mentioned in BC is also real good.
Very experienced.

Dr Mk said there are now 40 trained LLND's in BC able to prescribe abx.

Dr. Mk has trained lots of NDs in Ont also.

Check your PM

Also you may have noticed LL's do say they treat lyme on their websites but they mention natural methods. It is still not in the LLND's best interest to mention they sometimes use abx.

It is still very much hush hush due to the harassment docs in BC have gotten ARE getting for even admitting lyme exists in BC.

It is not recognized in BC like it is in Ontario-that's why we need to protect these docs in BC still.

Please help protect these docs by keeping their full names to yourself.

Even if they do mention lyme treatment on their websites [Smile]

If Dr. M. is in New York City, I would not recommend him.

Sammi.. I think they are referring to the Dr M in Upstate NY.
