Hi all,
I am not starting this thread to support some kind of hiding "illegal" treatments, but as there isn´t consensus about the effective treatments for e.g. Lyme disease and co-infections I think it could be a good idea to be cautious with what we share in the forum as it easily is found by googling a doctors name. This is about all appointments we have, not only with Lyme doctors.
In my country we recently lost a Lyme doctor with good results, due to patients posting his name and details from treatments. The medical authorities then visited his clinic and as he treats differently than with (only) 2 weeks of doxycycline for all Lyme patients ( that is standard treatment and is supposed to cure all Lyme here,) he doesn´t want to challenge his right to work as a doctor in the future and therefore stopped seeing Lyme patients.
I hope that I have been able to express this clearly. Be sure I don´t want to criticize any member of the forum. I am very much interested myself in taking part of others consultations, and would gladly share my own in a way that is safe for my doctor abroad.
Best,
Helen
