If, in my Lyme and co brain fog, I have missed something important in this article, I'm sure my Lyme friends will forgive me. I just don't seem to understand how the NIH can talk about chronic Lyme and the CDC deny its existance?
Dr. S, past president of ILADS, seems to have done that study back in 2001.

Thanks, Six. Ok,so it's an older article. Is it not possible to use something like this when insurance cos deny treatment because there's no such thing as "chronic Lyme"? It seems like some savvy lawyer could make a case that could set a precedent, no?
I know there's tons of research out there, but if the NIH, at one time, acknowledged its existance, how has chronic Lyme just disappeared according to the CDC?

Regardless of what they claim now, the thugs universally acknowledged chronic Lyme in the beginning (lymecryme.com) Then someone told them to start lying.

And they let them tell some doosies.

No, they started saying what helps their bottom line quite on their own. No one told them to say these things.

In Pennsylvania, "Chronic Lyme disease" is listed as a pre-existing condition, which might exclude one from being able to obtain health insurance.

No insurance carrier can deny now---based on preexisting condition...
It is now law.

Hi resolved, I can understand why you thought the NIH was agreeing with the research. I'll try to clarify the role of NIH as it applies to PubMed articles.
PubMed is a repository for articles from a wide variety of journals but does not confer any approval or disapproval of the subject matter by the NIH or any other government body.
It is a public service (I think mandated) in order to make citations available to the public.
"Publishers of journals can submit their citations to NCBI and then provide access to the full-text of articles at journal Web sites using LinkOut."

Not true yet I believe. Only up to age 19. It'll be until 2014 until pre-x is tossed completely.
