Do you wonder WHY there's such a lack of LD research?
IS Borrelia a bioweapon?
Here's an excerpt from today's NPR story: **********************************
Anne Vidaver, a plant pathologist at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, recently spent a few years researching Rathayibacter toxicus, a bacterium that causes a slime disease in grasses � it makes the grasses toxic to grazing animals, like sheep.
But then the government decided this disease had potential as a bioweapon.
So it was added to a special list of pathogens that could potentially be used by terrorists against crops or people.
Once it became a so-called "Select Agent," all research had to be carefully controlled � and that meant the end to business as usual for Vidaver's slime disease work.
"Essentially I had to either receive special permission to work with it, or destroy it," Vidaver says, explaining that getting this special permission wouldn't be easy.

What next. I would have liked to listen to this. Was it recorded?
Sometimes I don't know why I torture myself with listening to this negative... I guess I am hoping and praying that someone will present a solution to the government's bull*&^%!

They've admitted Borrelia is a bioweapon. Multiple times. More on this at elenacook.org and the last link in my sig. It gives me a somewhat paradoxical hope--there maybe already be a cure, albeit one that is being withheld from us. It doesn't make sense that they'd create this without a way to at least protect the real movers and shakers from getting screwed by it.
