    Where CDC Guidelines Fail, Leading Lyme Doctor Succeeds (Part 1)

    http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/where-cdc-guidelines-fail-leading-lyme-doctor-succeeds-part-1_b_9318660.html

    Dr. S.E.P. is a Yale-trained, world-renowned Lyme specialist who has treated over 20,000 patients in the last two decades. He is well-published in the peer-reviewed medical literature, a former president of The International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, and acclaimed for his work in tick-borne diseases. He has a special interest in chronic diseases which have been linked to Lyme, such as MS, fibromyalgia, and inflammatory arthritis. He has given expert testimony regarding Lyme Disease for the states of NY, CT, RI, and VT to assist in their public health efforts to deal with the Lyme epidemic. He is in private practice in Wilton, CT.

    On a personal note, he is the doctor who saved my life after I was misdiagnosed for five months by eleven “top” NYC doctors. I am forever indebted, and proud to share his vast knowledge and insights with you.

    Here is Part 1 of my interview with him:

    Calida, thanks for posting this interview. This doc is absolutely brilliant and I credit him with saving my life! His compassion and philosophies also probably saved my sanity at a time when I thought I was going to die and could not see any logical reason in suppressing my ailing immune system when it was so clear that Lyme (signaled by two bulls-eye rashes) was the direct cause of my RA. Thank goodness for brilliant docs, like him, who think outside the box!
