When it comes to Lyme disease, where do you turn? Many people go from doctor to doctor looking for answers about their aches and pains, sleep and mood disorders, and memory or concentration problems. Unfortunately, Lyme disease and associated tick-borne coinfections are often overlooked because Lyme disease mimics many other common diseases and can be difficult to diagnose.
Whether you are a patient, a family member, a doctor, or a concerned citizen, how do you get the information and support you need?
This empowering program is for those afflicted with Lyme disease, health-care providers who want to improve their diagnostic and treatment skills, and anyone else who wants the most up-to-date information on Lyme disease. Guided by a medical doctor, a naturopath, and an expert in natural care, you gain the knowledge and practical tools you need to demystify Lyme disease and navigate this perplexing illness.
