ABSTRACT
Thinking Clinically About Lyme Disease A Narrative Guide for Naturopathic and Asian Medicine Students
Thinking Clinically About Lyme Disease is a narrative guide for naturopathic and East Asian medicine students that explores Lyme disease as a systems-disrupting illness rather than a protocoldriven condition. Integrating biomedical insight, functional naturopathic principles, and East Asian pattern recognition, the text emphasizes clinical discernment, ethical care, and long-term recovery. Lyme disease is presented as a teaching model for understanding persistent and post-infectious illness with clarity, humility, and responsibility.
