Frequently Asked Questions
The LDRD contains no advertising and sells no products, it is strictly an information and research database for both the general public and paid members. Think of it as a private journal featuring citizen-journalism.
You can participate at any of these 3 levels:
1) Free database
You can access the free database by signing up for The LDRD newsletter. The free database contains numerous articles, abstracts and resources illuminating all facets of Lyme disease. Subscribe to the LDRD newsletter and get access to the free database.
2) Monthly Membership
You can become a LDRD member. When you join the LDRD you receive original proprietary information regarding Lyme disease. The LDRD prides itself on offering resources not found anywhere else. This is a growing resource and an incredible value.
Become a member and receive access to all of our unique resources. The monthly fee is $9.95, and you may cancel at any time.
3) Premier Discount Membership (One time fee)
Become a premier member and save money. By paying $99.95 upfront you receive access for the lifetime of the website. In the first year alone you will save 16.5%. After the second year you will have saved 66.5%!
Please note: Your membership support makes the LDRD resources possible. The more memberships we get the more time we can spend on creating new resources. In addition, the more upfront Premier Memberships we get, the quicker we can get those resources up.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes, you do not have to join for any length of time. There is no commitment. You can join and listen to all of the current audio interviews and then cancel, BUT you will miss out on any future interviews and resources. We add interviews and resources every week. We feel once you have used the member resources, you will want to continue. We aim to make it as affordable as possible, while still providing quality "independent" resources.
I have a question about Lyme I need answered.
