I don't know whether the ticks that carry it are particularly prevalent here. There are a lot of woods behind my house if that means anything. Unfortunately, I don't live near any LLMDs and cannot drive long distances (it makes me really dizzy) to visit one. Even if I could, I couldn't afford to see one to get tested anyway, though, since most of them don't take insurance, I believe.

The herbs I'm on are from the Classical Pearls Chinese herbal line by Heiner Fruehauf. I've seen quite a few people claim that his protocols have helped clear up their Lyme, but of course, anecdotal evidence isn't particularly useful. I'm just doing the Chinese medicine thing because it's all I can afford.
