Hope this isn't 'old' news to you by now - but couldn't pass up spreading this bit of news...
IMO, the following piece really needs some attention. I think for starters we need to follow up with the station that first came out with this info WOAI-TV - along with more info to the AP news which picked it up & then MSNBC.
This is a BIG opportunity for us to give the media more info about Lyme!
WOAI-TV A new research lab for bioterrorism opened Monday at the University of Texas at San Antonio.SAN ANTONIO (AP) -
The $10.6 million Margaret Batts Tobin Laboratory Building will provide a 22,000-square-foot facility to study such diseases as anthrax, tularemia, cholera, lyme disease, desert valley fever and other parasitic and fungal diseases.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified these diseases as potential bioterrorism agents. Fifteen university researchers make up the newly established South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases.
Earlier this year, the researchers were awarded $9 million in federal funding for bioterrorism research conducted in a smaller lab on campus.

Yet doctors will tell us, Chronic Lyme doesn't exsist, Lyme Disease is easily cured, We dont have lyme disease, its' all in our heads, we have psychologica disease YET, out own government is classifying Lyme Disease as a possible Bio terrorism agent? HUH? *eyeroll*

Yes, and I recently heard a report of a job applicant at a big corporation in a non-endemic state being asked if he/she had lyme disease. They are looking to discriminate against lymies because of health costs or possible inability to do the job? For a non-serious, rare disease that we can't get diagnosed and treated, that ins cos want to ignore? What is wrong with this picture?

Ain't it swell...maybe we'll get some funding...
The Army has known that gulf war syndrome is genetically engineered lyme disease and started treating returning gulf war vets with doxy...but someone called someone and the program was haulted...... They were'nt using enough anyway.....zman

In the light of the much publicized book being released "Lab 257 ...The Disturbing Story of the Government's Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory", I would like to share with you an e-mail that I recieved from a Plum Island maintenance striker. I have recieved several other letters from this person but this one is perhaps the most revealing. He struck me as sincere.
Plum Island is the Animal Disease Lab off the tip of Long Island. It is currently run by the USDA and The Department Of Homeland Security. It used to be an Army biowarfare lab and many feel they never stopped this type of research. It is believed that Lyme Disease had certain ties to this island. Lyme Conn...the town the disease was discovered in, is approx. 12 miles across the water from Plum Island. We also have many new and emerging diseases in the same area....such as West Nile Virus, Babesiosis and Erlichiosis, the latter two are also tickborne diseases. A person can have lyme disease, and also be coinfected with babesiosis and erlichiosis. These 3 diseases can even be contracted through the same tickbite. I do not believe these epidemics are naturally occurring.
I have worked there at least 14 years we did have two different labs once. I've only worked in one mostly, Unfortunately I didn't know what they did in 257 I was working in 101. As far as lyme I know they had a special "Tick" lab but it was closed down by the time I started working there. I saw a lot of dead ticks, but what they where working on I don't know. Some doctors here will talk about their work, and what they are doing and some won't. I do know that what they say in the paper about not working on things that affect people is bull ##### If the doctors animal workers are in moon suits positive pressure suits, and I can't go in to the room without it. Something is in that room that I shouldn't be breathing, and has to affect humans. I know once they worked on something from China that killed little girls just girls not boys but only before puberty which I had a fit about because I had two girls who where very young. I cant tell you anything, because I don't know about the things your looking for. Most of the doctors are working on foot and mouth, fmd, West Nile. What you say is possible, I myself don't know. You could ask DR Peter Mason he lives in Conn. He is moving to Texas soon. He is going to one of the big university down there, and taking about four DR with him. He was in charge of one of the hoof and mouth sections, and he was very cool if you get my drift. Please don't use my name I still need my job. I cant think of anyone else that would say anything. I'm sorry I couldn't help you more but I just don't know.

Gone to Texas, huh? Galveston or San Antonio?
I hear in Texas everything's big - big boots, big oil, big biowarfare.
here you will find a database of bacteria with a little comment on each bug. For Borrelia garinii (main cause of neurologival Lyme disease in Europe), they describe it as follows:
"causes seronegative Lyme arthritis".
Say what???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You bastards told us that there is no such thing as seronegative Lyme disease!!!!!!!!
EBI is the biggest centre of bio-informatics in Europe.
Wow! The Steere camp is leaking like a broken bucket.

Acetyltransferase in pathogens or an "agent" that blocks this enzyme...a whole lot faster with lung implications.
Metabolic and respiratory acidosis are very different...
Mg peroxide solutions are used to soak clothing in to protect. These solutions destroy, I repeat, destroy, pathogens. Activated charcoal only captures...disposal was a problem.
