This is a shame. The Bradford Scope can ID Lyme. Reading over all the related links, it would seem that the doctor gave the wrong treatment protocol. IV- Bismuth which is found in Pepto Bismol.
Years ago they used Bismuth as a treatment for Syphilis - traditional medicine.
Lyme and syphilis both are conditions with 'keets'- spirochetes.
Carole and Robert Bradford were brought into the lawsuit because the scope ID'd Lyme in the womans blood. I don't know that they had any input as to the treatment that Doctor Toth used. It seems their only crime was related to the scope that ID'd the Lyme disease.
Their company, American Biologics, presents supplements much like those of Hilde Staninger. In fact, if your scroll down on their link below, you see that they
sponsor an Annual Symposium on "Integrative Medicine" - Hilde Staninger uses that same designation.
Her title "Industrial Toxicologist/IH and Doctor of Integrative Medicine" states as much.
Also, Bradfords' info promote some of the same products that Hilde recommends.

My opinion- the scope could well be of great value to Lyme sufferers. It's a shame that Bradfords were brought into this case
