The rest of the interview with a Californian doctor who deals with patients suffering from both Lyme disease and Lyme Induced Autism. Dr Bhakta is both a Defeat Autism Now and an ILADs physician. This is part 2 of a 2 part interview.
I think Dr Bhakta makes a very important point about all medicine when she says that a more "personalised" approach to medicine is needed, and I think the is true of all syndromes and conditions such as Lyme and cancer. The generalised 20th century way doctors treat patients needs to be update because it is those who's symptoms do not fit the typical characterisations that loose out the most.
We desperately need to rethink the way in which we give and receive medical treatment.
