Looking for a LLMD in NJ. I have tested positive for Babesia just recently and been treated in past for Lyme and other tick borne illnesses. I live in north central NJ. I am really interested in a LLMD who follows Dr. H's recent guidelines. Many thanks.

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for PA, MD & CT.
You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!
I don't know which ones follow Dr. H's guidelines (which is what you wrote you are interested in). You would have to contact them to ask about that.
A LLMD is one who has treated Lyme disease and the co-infections which come with it for many years and has gotten patients well. A good one will follow Dr. B's Guidelines, the "gold standard" for Lyme treatment.
Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. You need to go where they are.
Also most LLMDs do not accept insurance due to the politics surrounding this horrible disease. Read poster TF's explanation, "Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance":
