LymeUNITED! I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to be part of this group. In a world full of misinformation and misdiagnosis, things can turn dark and lonely pretty quickly. Joining LymeUNITED has given me a community of people who understand and truly care.
Members reach out to ask questions and support each other with ideas, experience, resources and sometimes even contacts. Being from the state of Connecticut, I’m no stranger to Lyme disease but due to its complexity and constantly evolving treatment options I am always learning new, helpful information. Also invaluable is Ask Marty Ross, MD Live, a weekly zoom where cases and questions are reviewed. I was fortunate enough to present my case and get incredible insight and suggestions.
Lyme UNITED provides access to a seasoned Lyme Literate doctor, the support of a Lyme Literate community, expert presentations/discussions and so much more.

Here are some personal tidbits about Marty. He is
I have lived with chronic Lyme over a decade. It has been such a lonely journey but being a part of the LymeUnited community has been a game changer. I have met such an amazing group of people. Their trusted advice has been irreplaceable and the personal time with Dr Ross is priceless.
I began my Lyme/TBD journey with Marty Ross, MD in 2019. He was not my first Practitioner but after achieving 90% of my prior life back with his care, concern, and open mindedness, I knew I had found my "home". Upon his retirement to start another form of approaching Lyme through Lyme United, I thought that I would be left looking for another Practitioner and avenues to continue with my healthy climb upward. What I found instead was a group of intelligent, caring, and sharing people along with Dr. Ross that have taken me to a point I never thought attainable. He doesn't just remain in the background - he is still providing the advice, care, and intervention necessary to achieve the best health and wellness along with a group of people that are incredibly supportive, knowledgeable who truly "get it".
You can offer assistance to others and also learn from their experiences. Dr. Ross has been extremely helpful on the site with his expertise in tick-borne illnesses, mold and yeast.
Dr. Ross provides extensive case reviews for patients managing difficult circumstances, and provides perspective on alternative approaches including his preferred version. His treatment approach is current and relevant in that he will adjust based on clinical outcomes and success. For example, he has adjusted his antibiotic first approach to working with botanical antimicrobials to minimize gut damage.
His environment is respectful, thoughtful and a great community of support.
