Not standard therapy: There is no scientific evidence for effectiveness of these treatments in Lyme. Erroneous diagnosis of Lyme is also common and well-documented. Be cautious about having symptoms wrongly blamed on Lyme, leaving the true cause undiscovered, and taking prolonged, unproven treatments for a potentially dangerous condition.
