Course Overview
Lyme disease is one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the United States and represents a significant public health concern. In recent months the CDC has reported estimates of Lyme disease infection in the United States to be approximately 300,000 per year, a rate that is 10 times greater than previously reported. Acute Lyme disease is underdiagnosed and undertreated, particularly in California, which has the highest rate of tick-born diseases in the western United States. This leads to high rates of morbidity from disseminated and chronic Lyme disease. Subsequently, there is a need for primary care doctors to recognize, diagnose and treat acute Lyme disease, which can be effectively treated with evidence based antimicrobial therapy.

Participant Feedback for Dr. Jacob Leone, ND
This was arguably the best CME seminar that I have ever attended.
The illustrations and very detailed information are very useful for reference. The flow chart for differential diagnosis is very useful for clinical practice.
This was hard data and actionable advice, not conjectures or generalities.

Great organization and overview of a challenging topic. Well done. Really appreciated the case studies.
Participant Feedback for Dr. Mischa Grieder, ND
LOVED the protocols clearly presented and LOVED that brand names and dosages were given... this is super helpful.
Both conventional and naturopathic treatment plans are listed for different situations. All the available medications are given with doses, safety and side effects management. The lab monitoring illustration is also very useful for clinical practice.
Wonderful information. Great at teaching. The drugs were helpful and taught with great ease. I learned so much.
Excellent!
This was the perfect webinar. The two doctors were spot on. Very enjoyable and organized!
