You can successfully treat yourself and you're probably better off because everyone is different when it comes to lyme and finding what works for you is the biggest challenge. Educate yourself first and I would recomend the Salt & vitamin C protocol first! I also would recommend getting an ozonator and look to energy work using frequency. Most important keep your mineral balance high and NO FASTING! Lyme will deplete you of your nutrients so you want to pump your body with balanced nutrition with plenty of protein.
