I think this is good news. I just heard on my local radio station stay tuned for more on the battle for Lyme Disease.

Heard the story - Congress Woman Sue Kelly of Westchester is allotting (or trying to) 50 million dollars funding for accurate lyme testing and tick borne diseases. So many suffer from these diseases and there is not an accurate test according to her on the radio interview.

I don't know how they fund money or who the money is given to , as long as it's on research for testing and not given to Quest to accurate testing.

Not for long...

When the Columbia center opens the door, it'll be accredited & able to apply for those same $. Actually, they've already recieved gov $ for studies to date.

That is good news. Won't it be nice to have a place where the docs really understand the disease? Truly heaven on earth for Lyme sufferers and their families! Yay!
