I am in Texas but have traveled all over the country for Lyme treatment. I am willing to travel for this but need to work mostly over the phone.
I am looking for someone who treats Lyme with herbs, in hopes of getting off the antibiotics. I have been taking them for 7 or 8 years and doing much better, but I am starting to have gut issues and don't know how much longer I can tolerate the antibiotics.
I am considering two naturopaths, Dr. M in WA and Dr. D in CA. If anyone has experience with them, please PM me.
Thanks.

I don't have any personal experience with either of these doctors.
You would have to contact the individual doctors to ask about phone consults. I think any practitioner requires a patient to physically be seen 1-2 times per year by them in order for them to be treated. That is what we are doing with our son's LLMD.
Another idea is possibly getting IV antibiotics which bypass the gut, unlike orals. Just a suggestion.
Are you on a good probiotic such as Theralac on a daily basis? That's also very important for maintaining balance and health.
My son used abx for nine years (no gut problems) and just recently stopped in order to go on the Cowden Protocol (Nutramedix). Perhaps you might consider doing that?
I contacted Nutramedix who manufacture the products and learned they have a Financial Hardship Program for the Cowden Support Protocol which is available for one patient of any practitioner. The cost is about one-third the regular price!
An application is filled out and they call the practitioner to verify the information. The patient is then notified of approval. The stipulation is is that only one patient in each doctor's practice be it an MD, DO, ND, DC, etc., may get this assistance.
Look into Byron White formulas which you cannot buy yourself but through a practitioner (who are also listed on the website):
