I think the positive message was too important not to put up for others not in the Boston area not to see.
Enjoy!

Too bad they didn't mention the Columbia Research center to combat Dr. Edlow's statement about "Science."
He fails to mention the Dirth of $ & research being done into Lyme & other tick born infections.

Thank you Cathy for the link.
What I don't understand is, Dr. Donta says there isn't a diffinitive test for lyme, so how can anyone be diagnosed with it?
Is this also true with m.s. and some other diseases that mimic lyme, or vice versa?

The only test I think is 100% is either energetic testing or dark field microscopic identification of pathogens.
Antigen testing just has too many false positives or false negatives. And it doesn't matter if it was for lyme or hepatitis C.
My daughter was just tested for hep C and came back positive. So the common thinking, lab's can't make mistakes. So my daughter went for another test because we didn't trust the first one. Guess what, she didn't have hepatitis C according to the second test. One thing about the first test, she had a slight cold.
And how effective is testing for lyme with blood tests?
We flat out are putting too much faith in blood tests. What is great about doctors like Dr. Donta, he doesn't trust them either. So I salute Dr. Donta for using the tests as a guide not as a testament to reality.
I think it is time to use a combination of blood tests, with live blood viewing, and energy testing based on the pathogens frequency. There are machines I believe, which can do that. So combine alopathic and alternative medicine into a single paradigm for diagnosis.

someone asked about other diseases....
300 OTHER diseases mimic lyme disease; that's why it's hard to dx since they overlap!

Obviously I don't have answers for any of the questions regarding this particular segment on Lyme. I'm just the messenger passing it on.
AWARENESS! AWARENESS! AWARENESS!!!!!!!!

Cathy, is there a way to put this program on YouTube, where it won't cost you money to host it, and where others who aren't on Lymenet will find it?

Maria,
I just barely wrote you an email answering your question from my Caring Bridge web site and going to post a journal entry regarding this as well.
We honestly have no problem that anyone take this and put it on You Tube or whatever. This is about AWARENESS and want the story told everywhere.
In regards to the cost to us to host it, it is NOT costing us anything. I will quote my husband regarding this topic.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^6
"I host the website, regardless of health issues. It is my primary source for email and it serves many other purposes for myself and other members of my family.
It's prepaid for two years and only costs pennies a day. That is, it's a fixed cost and doesn't change, regardless of activity.
I do have a bandwidth cap (which we're nowhere near hitting). I'll be watching that and will shut down the videos if I get close, but so far that's not a worry.
So, bottom line... It's not costing us a thing, other than a few minutes to set it up. It serves us well since awareness is very important to us.
The more people know of this horrible disease the more likely we can achieve meaningful change and perhaps save someone else, or their children, from the ravages of Chronic Lyme Disease."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^6
Hope this helps put minds at ease that we are NOT spending money on this instead of my IV's that insurance won't cover. It's all about awareness.
Cathy

Ok, good to hear- I was worried that we'd be costing you money.
If it gets close to using up his bandwidth, let me know- I also have TONS and I really mean TONS of room on two different dreamhost-hosted accounts that I've already paid for, and I could put it there (and you'd just put a 'redirect' link to it so that your link still worked).
