Unfortunately it still holds true that most people just don’t know enough about these diseases.
•They go to the doctor (sick) •They do blood work •All the test come back negative •They get tested for Lyme (Negative) •They go back to the doctor (still sick) •He does more blood work (all negative)
•Back to the doctor again •He may order a ultrasound (negative) •Back to the doctor •More blood work – more test – brain scan – cat-scans – MRI - chest x-ray – spinal tap – urine test - biopsy of red rashes - etc, etc, etc…
•Back to the doctor – You have some white matter in your brain, but he tells you everything looks fine •BUT DOCTOR – Why do I have ALL these symptoms:
•Chronic arthritis •I’m fatigued, sometimes depressed, I have anxiety •Off balance •Headaches •Joint inflammation in my knees and other large joints •I have memory loss and Forgetfulness •My mood changes daily •I can’t sleep •Night sweats •I’ve had diarrhea for months
•I’m sensitive to light – ear ringing •I’m always confused •I have numbness and tingling all over •My skin is always burning •I have chills •My temp is always between 95 & 96 all day •My hair is feeling out •My neck is stiff – hurts •Abdominal pain - side pain – back pain
•I have trouble breathing •I feel like I’m having a heart attack all the time •I keep getting reoccurring rashes •Now I lost my job
•I know I have more symptoms, but my brain is so screwed up I can’t remember them!!!
•You need to speak to a psychologist •Psychologist gives you depression pills
•Back to your doctor •You need to see an Infectious disease doctor
•They find us (lymenet) •They find that they need an (LLMD) •They finally start treatment after the cost is over $20,000 - $30,000 and sometimes much more.
We all know the routines from experience, and all new Lyme patients don’t figure it out till it’s too late (Stage 3 - chronic Lyme).
This really upsets me, and it’s still going on today!

this will continiue to be the story until people realize that our current medical paradigm is not rigged for their favor.
and those doctors, those LLMD, they must battle the system, risk their career, and be shunned so doctors dont want to do it.
All the below as stated or you could just go to a Natuorpathic Doctor or Alternative medical doctor who does Dark Field Live Blood analysis and is familiar with Lyme. You'll have a diagnosis the same day with a high rate of accuracy. Screw the rest. They dont have your best interests at heart due to politics, CDC ruling, Insurance snags, treatments that dont work, overlay of new disease from use of antibiotics, complex medical care that is dangerous.
I know several people who have been taken off of their lyme death beds with alternative treatment, their costs were under 10,000 for the very worst of them, and they are well functioning today.
You dont get what you pay for in our medical culture. You get what will keep you hooked on medical treatment, at great expense to your sanity and wellbeing for years on end. By the time you do get to a LLMD you are nearly dead, a and your ability to heal significantly comprimised so that even the best of the best will have a hard time helping.
I will never ever again step into any doctor's office that is not well versed and practicing in alternative medicine and diagontic technique, whether they are a naturopath or a medical doctor, I care not.
those people inclined to step in to a regular medical doctor's office who practics only allopathy are people who do not realize their connection to the natural world, do not understand that drugs are toxic, do not want to take responsibilty for their diet and overall health or have been trained to believe that none of the above is really NECESSARY and will put anything down their throats or up a vein that they are told to without question. They are the perfected children of the pharmaceutical agenda of profiteering and brainwashing.
Over 50% of all forclosures are due to medical care. Allopathic care does not cure disease, but excellerates insurance costs because no one gets well, then makes you go broke, steals your money planned for your children, and then you die.
As a hospice nurse for 6 years at an inpatient hospice facilty I will confidently say that most of those patients, maybe 50% could have forestalled their fate with alternative medicine. The rest... well, it was just their time.. but even for them if they had lived a life away from drugs, on right diet, using natural medicines they might have lived longer and better. No one needs to die of MRSA or bowel obstruction or MS, or Lyme or heart failure if they had correct care.
The system gets away with what they do because we keep filling their pockets and refuse to wake up, believing the pharmaceutical propaganda.

Razzle could it be that your symptoms are caused by other microbes than Lyme?
Babesia is harder to see in dark field but it can be noted or suspected sometimes.
Dr MacDonald does stained studies of spirochetes. He pretty much confirms what they look like and where they are found.
