The Ross Lyme Support Protocol is a living document. From time to time I update it based on the latest science and the experience I have treating people with tick-borne illnesses and mold toxicity in my Seattle clinic. This 3rd edition includes several major additions and subtractions which I lay out below. In addition to these major changes, there are numerous improvements throughout the document.

The 2nd Edition included supplements but did not include suggested prescription antimicrobial regimens to start a treatment. I now include starting prescription antimicrobial options in [12] Coinfections: Bartonella and Babesia.
In section [10] Yeast, I now include probiotic regimens that include both human strains and spore-forming (soil-based) strains.
See the Babesia and Bartonella section in [14] Special Considerations.
See [14] Special Considerations.
Earlier editions included a recommendation to add Biocidin LSF at three months of treatment if a person was not improving. Over-time, based on my clinical experience, I do not find this to be that helpful as a three-month addon supplement. As part of an anti-microbial approach, I still find Biocidin-LSF effective, so I continue to recommend it as an antimicrobial in my Lyme Disease Antibiotic Guide (treatlyme.net).
Earlier editions suggested trying low dose immunotherapy at six months at beyond if a person was having difficulty getting well. I see so few people that this helps—so I have removed this recommendation from [14] Special Considerations. You can read more in: LDI: Bring on The Regulators (treatlyme.net).
There are two recent antibiotic discoveries that could change the course of Lyme disease treatment. One of these is Azlocillin and the other is Hygromycin A.
For many, chronic Lyme is a difficult illness. But for most, complete or varying degrees of recovery is possible. The Ross Lyme Support Protocol includes many steps and actions that I find helpful in my Seattle practice. If these ideas resonate with you, I encourage you to discuss them with your health care provider or physician to see if they are right for you. As always, I wish each of you well on your Lyme recovery journey.
