Homeopathy is a complex art and requires decades of study to do right. In Eu- rope, it is taught primarily to MDs. I would recommend, if taking this route, that one find a highly trained practitioner.


Which One is Right?


At the end of the day, the conclusion is that all methods have challenges, whether they be the overuse of antibiotics that destroy digestion and immunity, or risking not clearing the pathogens properly. At my clinic we help patients with these challenges daily. My advice is to test, test, test, mixing conventional testing with functional and en- ergetic testing. This provides many points of data to ensure that patients are getting well and staying well. There is still quite a bit of controversy as to the direction to pursue with chronic Lyme in both conventional and unconven- tional circles. At this point, all of us know someone who has or has had Lyme disease. Choose the approach for you, expect and get results or move to another form of care. Don’t continue to do the same thing and get


the same results, unless they’re good results. Base your decision on both objective results (testing) and subjective results (how you feel) not just one or the other. Become an expert on your condition. And don’t ever give up and accept what you have. Expect your body to work miracles for you and it will.
