Hey everyone...I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that my nephew got bitten and his pediatrician refused to give him antibiotics...my sister insisted on the western blot and 2 bands came back positive AND he has I believe 4 swollen lymph nodes and STILL THE DOCTOR WON'T TREAT HIM!

He says 2 bands aren't necessarily positive...come back and retest in a few weeks...etc. So sad and so scary.

I'm having trouble remember which website you can ask for recommendations for LLMDs (I've been in the chronic lyme world for so long that I'm clueless about new infections) - also if anyone could recommend a pediatric LLMD in the NJ/NY (they live in NY state) area that would be great.

Also, I'm going to get into researching it myself but if anyone knows which herbs are toddler-safe, in case she'd be willing to give him herbs?

Thanks in advance!

​You can send me an email.

You can also email the Tick-Borne Disease Alliance at​[​​url]​medicalinfo@tbdalliance.org​ for LLMD referrals.


You can also go to The Lyme Disease Association and search for LLMD's 3 times in a month. You have to register first. Here is the link: www.lymediseaseassociation.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=277&Itemid=74​​

And ILADS has their own LLMD's referral:
ilads.org/ilads_media/physician-referral/


And here are links on Buhner's site about treating children:

Best of luck and let us know how we can help!!!
