Aside from lyme itself, do the long-term and sometimes extreme treatment protocols by "lyme literate mds" for tick-borne illness have any truth? they have you believe all humans in the e usa need combitorial antibiotics/antiprotozoals to find health

Beware of quacks: The problem with Lyme disease is that there is a whole other 'culture' of treating Lyme that is well outside of established medical principles. There's actually a case I know of where the patient DIED because of some 'quack' treatment by one of these Lyme doctors. I suggest you seek out a board certified Infectious Disease doctor who can offer you real options that actually work and restore health
