Recently I watched a doc. on Lyme disease which was quite chilling. Hundreds of thousands of people have it and are not receiving proper treatment in the U.S. because insurance co.s don't want to pay for another chronic disease so they say it isn't chronic. Doctors who have treated patients successfully over about 3 yrs are losing their licenses because the IDSA's treatment guideline for Lyme disease are for only a month. The IDSA is a board where 9 out of 13 members have links to the drug industry. I'd like to know how they got their jobs on that board because that needs to change. Lyme disease can attack any organ including the brain and may be linked to the syphilis bacterium. The doc showed one doctor who was researching the spirochete in his spare time. He felt that Lyme might be linked to MS, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and ALS. He looked at brain samples from Alz. patients and 7 out of 10 had the Lyme spirochete. I don't know if anyone else is researching this. The doc showed the devastating results of untreated Lyme including convulsions and paralysis. It is a health concern that is being overlooked because someone's profits are affected. More info at www.underourskin.org.
