Clear Lyme Disease Information, Built Around the Evidence
LymeSearch is an independent health education website created to make Lyme disease research and health information easier to understand.
Making complicated health information easier to understand.
Medical research can be difficult to navigate. Scientific papers, clinical guidelines, and public health resources often contain terminology that is unfamiliar to readers who simply want to better understand Lyme disease.
LymeSearch was created to bridge that gap. Our goal is to take information from reputable scientific and medical sources and explain it in clear, accessible language without stripping away important context, limitations, or uncertainty.
We want readers to understand what the evidence says, what remains uncertain, and where they can find the original sources for themselves.

Joseph Dispensa
Founder, LymeSearch
Joseph founded LymeSearch after his own experience living with Lyme disease showed him how difficult it can be to navigate complicated and sometimes conflicting health information.
He created LymeSearch to make Lyme disease research, public health guidance, and other reputable sources easier for everyday readers to understand.
LymeSearch combines that patient perspective with an evidence-focused editorial approach. Personal experience may help identify questions worth exploring, but the health information published on LymeSearch is grounded in cited sources rather than any one person's experience.
LymeSearch is built around a simple principle: readers deserve clear explanations and access to the evidence behind them.
