“Essential” Happenings Tuesday, March 3rd
All about Lyme Disease. Learn what Lyme disease is, how to prevent it, recognize the symptoms, coinfections, some of the contro- versies and asking your doctor to do a prop- er workup. This talk will be entertaining and informative, with plenty of chances to ask questions. Dr. McCloy’s approach is to get to the root cause of your medical condition and fix them using natural methods, rather than simply covering up the symptoms with drugs which ultimately causes more symp- toms. Sean McCloy, MD, MPH, MA, is Med- ical Director/founder of Integrative Health Center of Maine and specializes in Lyme- literate treatment. He received his MD from NYMC, is dual board-certified Diplomate in both Family Medicine & Holistic Medicine.
