I don't know either of the doctors you asked about personally, but I am somewhat familiar with Dr. Jaller because I visited his very impressive blog (LymeMD)not too long ago when searching for resources on Lyme. He is apparently a primary care doctor who shifted his practice to pursue treating Lyme patients full time several years ago.
Dr. Jaller appears to have rejected the medical establishment's position on Lyme and Morgellons, and seems to be much better informed on matters of nutrition, detoxification, etc. than most medical doctors. I believe his practice is in Maryland and it apparently does not take insurance.
Most impressive to me was the fact that he has rejected the current methodology of medicine which looks at the patient as a set of data in favor of the old school approach in which the doctor takes the time to thoroughly investigate all of the factors that might be affecting the patient's health - which requires actually getting to know the patient.
I am sure that like all of us, he still has his blind spots, but he seems very open to learning new things and has reversed his positions on things in the past when confronted with new information. We definitely need many more like him. |
