PODCAST: Dr. Christine Green and the future of Lyme disease treatment
Dr. Christine Green, based in Palo Alto, California, specializes in Lyme disease treatment and integrative medicine. She serves on the board of LymeDisease.org and is an active member of the International Lyme and Associated Disease Society (ILADS).
On a recent episode of the Tick Boot Camp podcast, she shares key insights into Lyme disease diagnosis, treatment, and research. In her discussion, she honors three late Lyme disease pioneers—Nick Harris, Charles Ray Jones, and Dave Martz—for their invaluable contributions to the field.
Dr. Green also addresses the challenges Lyme disease patients face, including being dismissed by the medical system and the need for doctors to consider the full health picture rather than disregarding complex symptoms.
She discusses how Lyme disease affects the brain, sometimes presenting as psychiatric conditions, and emphasizes the importance of changing medical language to validate patients rather than dismiss them.
