[quote] Lyme Disease Database Provides Cutting Edge Medical News for Sufferers
New research database offers instant access to articles on cutting edge protocol for the prevention and treatment of Lyme Disease. People get direct access to information about the latest medical discoveries that can help them heal.
San Luis Obispo, CA (PRWEB) March 22, 2006 --
Health researchers have launched the Lyme Disease Research Database (LDRD) web site. The new site provides instant access to dozens of articles aiming to educate and inform sufferers of the disease, as well as anyone interested in learning how to cope with and treat Lyme disease (LD).
Readers receive up to the minute news and information about the latest cutting edge research on the treatment and healing of Lyme. Articles include Lyme experts' findings, including conventional pharmaceutical approaches and alternative therapies.
The LDRD provides a reference place for Lyme sufferers to discover Lyme literate Medical Doctors' (LLMD) newest research. Having instant access broadens the choices that patients can make.
Lyme treatment can be complicated by the fact that the disease is so frequently misdiagnosed, researchers say. Protocol that works well early on may not be appropriate for the patient who has been misdiagnosed for a number of months, or even years.
After signing up for the database, one person commented, ``Lyme is a very frightening disease. The treatment choices are often confusing. Doctors can mistake your symptoms for other auto-immune deficiency conditions, like MS.''
LDRD researchers say that experts in treating patients with Lyme disease understand that symptoms vary from person to person and can mimic over two hundred other diseases. LLMDs advocate for patients to educate themselves.
Another Lyme sufferer said, ``Treatment and healing comes down to being the patient's responsibility. The benefit of having instant access to LDRD is that I can stay on top of the latest Lyme expert information, and know what to ask my doctor.''
For additional information on the Lyme Disease Research Database, visit www.lyme-disease-research-database.com. Access to the cutting edge news from experts on Lyme disease is available immediately.
About LDRD (lyme-disease-research-database.com): Private health and healing researchers have been gathering conventional and alternative research on the best methods to heal from Lyme disease since 2005.

That's odd, I could have sworn there was no "about us" section when I looked at this website the other day. Maybe my lymie brain on the fritz again.

I don't know if these people have anything to do with the ALDF. They are identified as lyme patients, and most lyme patients know the ALDF is the black hat.
Maybe if someone subscribes, they can tell us what the content consists of and whether there is an ALDF lean to it.
It would also be useful to know if there is a difference between the content at this website and what is provided free at www.lymeinfo.net
