Come and educate yourself, learn about the latest tests for Lyme and coinfections, check out helpful supplements and healing modalities, and get a signed book to keep the learning going even after May 18th! Perhaps consider buying a book for your physician that explains how the recent updates to the ICD11 (International Classification of Diseases, 11th edition) increases the number of diagnosis codes from 4 codes to 15 codes for treating Lyme and how this can help you get an accurate diagnosis, and help your physician get paid for treating it!
