Are you familiar with the ILADS website? 'ILADS' is short for International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society.
Many MDs specializing in Lyme diagnosis and treatment are members of ILADS, and it is a respected organization in the Lyme world. If you go to the ILADS website, there is information for patients and for MDs, and you could search the site and also in Dr Burrascano's treatment guidelines, which I think are linked or posted at the ILADS site.
