Foreword

Global Perspective

Political Situation

Signs & Symptoms

Babesia Treatment

IV vs. Oral Dosing

My passion comes from seeing a large and ever-growing group of people suffer, and suffer unnecessarily; and out of that comes my commitment to make a difference and a contribution to the world of Lyme disease. As a licensed doctor in California, I can legally prescribe antibiotics, and I certainly see a place for them in Lyme disease treatment. My training as a naturopath means that I view the body holistically, and see how imperative it is to support the body using natural modalities and nutrition. With most of my patients I use a combination of antibiotic and naturopathic regimens.
