For anyone interested in sending email to reporter Gardiner Harris of the New York Times on subjects related to Lyme disease, copy the link above into your browser, and it will take you to his email portal. Why is this an exciting opportunity for the Lyme disease community?
Mr. Harris has been the reporter doing stories on physician conflict of interest, physician's undisclosed ties to Big Pharma, and other important stories on corruption in medicine, Although it is not an email address per se, the portal does not have a limit of say 500 or 1000 words, as some do --- YOU CAN WRITE AS MUCH AS YOU WANT, AND CAN INCLUDE LINKS TO OTHER WEBPAGES RELEVANT TO THE DISCUSSION YOU ARE PRESENTING.
I would encourage all Lyme disease physicians and patients who have the energy and interest to write to Gardiner Harris regarding the problems we are experiencing re: IDSA and the guidelines.
Please post this information in other places, or forward it to friends so that as many physicians and Lyme disease patients have an opportunity to contact Mr. Harris as possible. Thank you.

The stories this reporter has written have gotten MAJOR RESULTS!! It is worth your time to write to him--truly!!
The link has got spaces in it, which is probably why it isn't functioning.
If you paste it into your browser, then delete any spaces, it should work.
Best,
