Is it best to see an internist or an infectious diseases specialist?

[Guest guest]

My primary care doctor will be referring me to another doctor to get a proper diagnosis (and determine whether in fact I have lyme disease or not). She is open to my suggestion re: which doctor to see. As a general rule, is it better to consult with an infectious disease specialist or an internist? (Or is it beter to see another kind of specialist)? Our goal is to have someone review my western blot results, other test results, my medical history give me a physical and then reach a diagnosis and treatment plan. Thank-you.

We are on DAN stuff for stability of symptoms and Cat's Claw and Resveratrol to fight lyme and other germs, and on a few gentle things to help out with toxins. My adopted girl has really made leaps and bounds, especially the last 4 days. I attribute it to removing oats and the Cat's Claw. She had some symptoms that were lingering until I did these last two things. She is now 6, I got her at age 4. She was so difficult that they were going to put her into a therapeutic group home. At age 4, she had diagnoses of Aspergers, ADHD, Bipolar, ODD, and Conduct Disorder. She could not do Pre-K for more than five minutes. It was so bad that she would destroy the classroom to the point that the whole class had to be evacuated. She would throw paint, white-out,

etc. all over the place. She was separated from her brother because they family that ended up adopting him, thought Alecia was going to kill him, at the age of 4! I could not believe all the symptoms she had either. Its really rare to see someone with as many symptoms as she had. I had to spend most of my time following her around because she was so out of control. Since I was able to make progress with my own children, I adopted Alecia thinking I could help her as well. I was right; she is not the same person. And it has nothing to do with the loving home; its because of her supplements and diet. If I give her wheat and oats, she turns into a different person, like a whole different personality. And the same thing with her supplements, she is totally dependent upon them. I beleive that once her pathogens and toxins are rid, then she will be able to not need supplements anymore. Its just amazing to watch such

a transformation. Its beyond a miracle. Sometimes I wish I could walk into a mental in-patient treatment facility and give everyone Cat's Claw. Will the world ever get it?Love and prayers,Heidi N
