Disappearing a disease: when guidelines are biased, patients suffer By Pamela Weintraub on February 05, 2009 in Psychology Today
You can skew the evidence in your treatment guidelines, but you can't stop the march of science. You can try to disappear a disease --but in the face of a burgeoning epidemic with ever more people sick, can you ultimately succeed?

Thank you, once again, Pam Weintraub. This is a GREAT article.
How can we diagnose and treat an illness that we have so misdefined?
Pam, keep blowing to doors off this fiasco!

Well done Pam! You touched on so many important points, and I am appauled at the new panel of 14 people with NO LLMDS, LYME LITERATE MDS, who treat us CHRONIC DISEASE!!
Also, they added the stipulation of $10,000 after the 1st publication of the criteria; now not one dr. can earn more than $10,000 for treating any lyme patients.
That excluded those treating 1 lyme patient per week in 1 year!! HOG WASH!
Pam, thanks again for your thought provoking article, and I continue looking forward to each one you search out and EXPOSE for what it is! HOG WASH!
