"British billionaire John Caudwell, whose whole family has been struck down with Lyme disease, has stated that he is determined to expose the neglected worldwide epidemic of Lyme disease. He has been responsible for an unprecedented airing of the facts about Lyme and other tick-borne disease in the national press and on TV. Now he has stated his intention to set up a Lyme charity dedicated to finding a cure.
(To learn more about John Caudwell’s media campaign on Lyme disease, please see the link at the bottom of this page.) Dr. Alan MacDonald is the world’s leading Lyme Disease researcher. He was the first to identify the cystic form of Borrelia, the first to prove that mother-to-child transmission occurs, and has recently found evidence of Borrelia in five out of five brain specimens from victims of Alzheimer’s, a disease affecting tens of millions of people.
Please sign the letter urging John Caudwell to support the research initiative recently founded by Dr MacDonald, the Dr Paul Duray Research Fellowship Endowment.
OK - signed it. Not too difficult!

This is the happiest news I've heard in years. God bless John Caudwell and his family. I'll be praying for him, and all of us.

John Caudwell has been speaking out in the British mass media about chronic Lyme as an unrecognised epidemic linked with ME/CFS, Alzheimer's, psychiatric syndromes, MS etc.
He has been sent information about Dr MacDonald's work and mentioned it on TV, but he will be being pressured from numerous directions, including doctors and scientists who may contact him at the behest of Dr Tim Brooks, our chief Denialist here.
Brooks' agency, Public Health England, tried to rubbish Dr MacDonald's findings in the press.
John Caudwell does not have a medical background and may be difficult for him to distinguish the good science from the phony. Doctors who approach him and offer to advise him may not necessarily make it clear that they have been sent by PHE, CDC, the insurance industry, a vaccine corporation, or indeed a private blood testing company which puts commercial interests ahead of patients' interests.
Dr MacDonald does all his research on a non-profit basis and refuses to patent his findings. He wants his information to be available to researchers all over the world.
He wants to bring an end to the carnage caused by the chronic Lyme Denial.
Please keep circulating the letter on Facebook, by email and any other way you can.
