Lyme disease sufferers, families to lead protest at Queen's Park

Regional News
September 16, 2009 08:27 AM

Lyme disease sufferers and their families, ticked off at how the federal government is dealing with the disease, are rallying across the country to bring attention to their plight.

They say the disease, transmitted through the bite of infected ticks, is not being properly diagnosed by Canadian doctors.

Lyme Action Group will present a petition to the province calling for better physician training, availability of treatment options, improved testing, mandatory screening of the blood supply and protection for Lyme-treating physicians against harassment from the College of Physicians Surgeons of Ontario.

The group states doctors are not being educated on the increasing prevalence of the disease in Canada.

Dr. Jozef Krop, a practitioner or environmental medicine, and Helke Ferrie, a medical/science author, will speak at the event.

Organizers hope to make a formal presentation of the petition to MPPs, to be subsequently read in the Legislature.

The Wall of Hope event begins Thursday at 10 a.m. on the south lawn of the Ontario Legislature at Queen's Park.
