First Visit to Lyme Doctor (ND)

[JuliaFaith]

Thought this might be helpful for those just starting on this journey or wanting to know more about what an ND (naturopathic doctor) does (I did not know at the start of this either.) My son had flu-like symptoms that never went away, stomach aches-to put it mildly, headaches, muscle aches, fatigue, constant cough, some OCD/anxiety.

 

Visit #1:

 

Labs: KPU Test; hair analysis [Dr. Data]; Blood draw (Thyroid panel-TSH free T3, free T4, Vit. D 1, 25, and 25-OH; CD-57. [All paid for by insurance]

 

Treating GI inflammation: Ketotifen; Flora Stor; Beta Glucan probiotic; Melatonin (heals GI); Lactoferrin.

 

Lung healing: TriQuench (iodine) in nebulizer with water (still doing this 19 months later with liquid garlic thrown in for continued health)

 

Lyme/bio-film treatment: Rock Rose (Cistus) tea

 

Nutrient Support: Vit. K2; selenium; CORE (minerals); Vit. D drops

 

This was all done just with muscle testing. So on the first visit treatment was started on several things at once. This was adjusted every month depending on what his body tested as needing. Follow-up blood test etc. have been done along the way to confirm diagnosis and treatment.

 

Just our experience.
