About Curing Lyme

Why this site exists

People with chronic Lyme often spend months piecing together information from dozens of sources. Curing Lyme gathers the most widely used antibiotic and herbal protocols in one consistent format, so you can see what each involves, compare approaches, and walk into your doctor's office better informed.

Where the information comes from

• Lyme-literate physicians, especially Dr. Marty Ross's free guides at treatlyme.com, and Dr. Richard Horowitz's published work.
• Herbal practitioners and authors including Stephen Harrod Buhner, Dr. Lee Cowden, Dr. Qingcai Zhang and Dr. Bill Rawls.
• Peer-reviewed research indexed on PubMed, linked directly from our research library.
• The patient community, especially the r/Lyme FAQ.

Every protocol credits its source. If you spot an error or out-of-date dose, please let us know.
