Jason,
I have absolutely no reason to debate you as an MD, nor have I any reason defend my ND. I can only speak from my personal experiences and there is NO question in my mind that herbal supplements put my Lymes into almost immediate remission - it was that dramatic a reversal of symptoms. This is after 9 months of taking the Western medicine approach, which included incorrect diagnosis, antibiotic cocktails and liver wracking anti inflammatory drugs. Add to this that initially I thought the ND and supplement approach would be a total waste of my time and money and my outlook was that this was "voodoo medicine" - so I definitely approached my ND with a ton of skepticism. I freely admit I was as wrong as my physicians. These dayze, for some ailments, before resorting to antibiotics, I'll at least try the homeopathic route first. For the most part, they've worked very effectively, at least for me.
