The CDC should not be in the business for promoting Lyme lies, nor beholden to the IDSA for accepting their guidelines when so many doctors refute it.
When will the public and science accept the fact they are in business to protect the drug companies and not the people.
Our tax dollars at work??? I don't think so!!!

Yes I'm ranting. I am tissed. They have no right to promote Clinical continuing education. Of any Kind!
They are supposed to be in the business of surveillance and they can't even do that right...
Est.s of over 200,000 a year does not equate to the actual reported by any means....Why Not?
So how can they promote air??? Breathing Fire...

They approve a test for blood supplies for T.cruzi, but they are not offering to teach doctors how to detect, suspect, or find it...
Even after several states have found it in alarming numbers....
What gives them the right to push people off on the IDSA for guidance when they cannot cover up the fact that T.cruzi immunoassays are not any better than Lyme?
In fact some countries have to find it by injecting blood samples in another host to find it...Something we could learn lessons from but no---not here....
Yet we still don't have a blood supply test for Lyme and they pretend to know it all....They pretend to tell doctors how to treat!!!
This is criminal anyway you look at it...
Who are they kidding??? Do they think it just magically appeared one day???
Or that because they are so hard to find it is just now being looked for????
If they promote this crap why won't they promote Igenex testing or labs who DO use all the bands?
How do they get away with approving labs who just use 3/5 bands for determination when it is gross incompetence?
It is plain as the nose on my face...They are in the drug companies pockets.
Give each and every one of us our own B mouse---infect with our blood and see how close we come to throwing out the CDC/IDSA/FDA for their lies and deceit...

They get away with it because they are the government.....CDC/FDA. They get away with it because money talks......IDSA and pharma co's and ins co's.
Where are all those extremely wealthy ppl that have summer homes in the Hamptoms, etc? Why don't at least some of them have LD or know other weathly ppl that have it?
I'm sorry, but I don't get that. If a growing number of ppl like me can have LD living in Mississippi; and I see more and more cases down here everyday; then it doesn't make sense that there aren't more very rich ppl vacationing in the Hamptons and Martha's vineyard coming down with LD. I thought that was tick central.
Get together a handful of the extreme wealthy that have been touched by LD because money talks. I am talking about ppl that could donate 100's of millions of dollars to private research
Where are these ppl? Don't even a few wealthy ppl have LD?

You both have valid points and I agree. The corruption is rampant and we need help.
Shake those trees and rattle those cages. We will be heard!

So how the heck do we do something? Is there a nation wide rally/march on Washington or the CDC planned? Who would plan such an event? How bout we gather at the national IDSA building. I'll be the first to carry a sign that says "IDSA Lies". Then I'll get carted to jail.
So who plans these things? That's what activism is all about.

Good questions Arkie...
To get Lyme even mentioned years ago was almost impossible. But by working hard we've now got about 5 new articles a day in the press and we are moving up the mountain they never thought we'd attempt to climb.
We've protested a number of times and will continue to do so as we are able.
Good to know you will be able to help!!!
The Lyme Rights group has a website now and it has some of the most recent information on it.
