I think many are missing the code word in the OP's message, Lyme literate. That is a term used by a group of patients and doctors to refer to some very non-standard beliefs about Lyme disease (not Lymes) and the organism Borrelia burgdorferi

It is extremely extremely unlikely that any doctor at Shands will be supportive of the non-standard and potentially dangerous treatments that "Lyme literate" implies.
