Welcome to LymePedia

Do you have or treat Lyme disease? If the answer is yes, LymePedia.com can help.

LymePedia.com is an online Lyme disease encyclopedia edited by physicians who treat patients with Lyme disease and Lyme co-infections. We cover topics ranging from effective self-treat acupuncture points for headache and itching to a list of the most commonly used supplements.

We hope this information will help you navigate through the sometimes overwhelming, confusing, and contradictory Lyme and associated disease recommendations and strategies used by physicians and patients alike.

To organize this large amount of information, we have used the traditional “categories” system. In addition, we have also cross-referenced the information alphabetically to allow a more complete, encyclopedia-type overview of the information.
