Lyme Disease is a Super Bug already. The NIH and WHO need to immediately be working on appropriate identification and treatment of this and other comorbidities related to tick bite infections. This is already in Europe and most of North America 🌎. It is a Pandemic and needs to be treated as such. Thank you to all sharing treatment interventions and much needed information. I am a retired RN and sending information to other members of the medical field to attempt to inform.

I don't think he really discussed any of the controversial aspects of this topic.

Chronic lyme is not controversial. It's the fed agencies and medicine that have diagnostics that don't work on seronegative patients, weak immune systems. The medical system is fixated on seropositive and seronegative is ignored so the disease gets worse. Lyme and other tick diseases are worse for people who have weak immune, comprimised immune systems.

Ptlds is not a thing when post tick bite or reactivation the disease is not diagnosed or treated so the disease gets worse.
This OspA is also bad.
The severe disease is ignored.
The rash not everyone gets, reactivated Lyme don't get rashes, rashes also show up as different looking rashes.

Nuerological disease is ignored.

Treatment early don't work.

This controversy is made up because of all this.

I would question these drs, specialists medical credentials and degrees.

Chronic lyme disease is not 'controversial'. It is a stealth chronic infection that very often goes undiagnosed in the acute form and leads to a very hard to diagnose and treat condition. A doctor not believing in 'chronic Lyme disease' is akin to an oil driller not believing in 'global warming'. On top of this bartonella and babesia organisms are often in the mix and can be contributing to the bodies inflammatory response.

Excellent tip - coconut oil, garlic ( aged is great for the heart besides) and alternative medicine . Turmeric powder made in some warm coconut oil makes a great add to a tea daily, is a natural anti- inflammatory . I make a small jar at a time .

Yes doctor your hitting it right with the garlic, coconut oil, etc. but how about treating the blood.I started treating my blood with Stevia leaf under the tongue and also the next day CBD oil under the tongue and got great response making things very manageable like 90 percent
