- People will suffer if doctors believe this. So many errors woven into their conclusions - IDSA-driven errors reach across oceans and continents, unfortunately. -

- It's best to look to research by and experience of ILADS educated lyme literate doctors / researchers. Start here: www.ilads.org
WHY you need an ILADS "educated" or "minded" Lyme Literate doctor (whether MD or ND, or both) - starting with assessment / evaluation.
Medical "models" explained here, as to differences in the ISDA & ILADS models of assessment & treatment - and exactly why it is so very important to know the differences. -

I couldn't open the first link either. I wonder if it's like the delusional parasitosis crap they published about Morgellon's.

the first link is borreliosis in Romania, they cite Steere but it is written by Romanians
"Analele Universităţii din Oradea Fascucula: Ecotoxicologie, Zootehnie şi Tehnologii de Industrie Alimentară, 2012 LYME DISEASE-CERTAINTY AND CONTRADICTIONS Nicoleta Paşcalău1, Maria Domuţa2, Cosmin Mariş3 1.University of Oradea, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Department of Medical Rehabilitation, Neuro-Psycho-Sciences, Market December 1, No.10, 410073, Oradea, Bihor, Romania, e-mail: n.pascalau@ yahoo.com 2.University of Oradea, Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Department of Surgery 3.U.S.A.M.V.B.T. Faculty of Horticulture and Forestry, Department of Hunting and Salmoniculture Abstract Lyme disease is an infectious disease produced by inoculation of infected ticks’ spirochete by one Borrelia species. After producing the infection within several weeks, the pathogens can spread by blood-to other areas of the body (nervous system, joints, heart device) producing nonspecific symptoms. The hosts of the ticks are wild and domestic animals found all over our country. Knowing the disease symptoms and its impact on the population health, we appreciate the importance of controlling and monitoring the distribution of ticks and wildlife carriers, and the prophylactic and therapeutic measures. By the end of the century is assumed that the global average temperature will rise by 1.0 to 3.5 ̊ C that will cause changes in the mode of transmission by vector-borne diseases. Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in Europe and, according to the studies conducted over the past three years, there is a growing trend of the confirmed cases in Romania. Key words: Tick, Lyme disease, Borrelia Burgdorferi, symptoms, Ixodes ricinus"...

- A search both at PubMed and through Google Advanced Search did not turn up any article with that title.
Barbara Johnson is one of the authors of the article here - the link LymeToo posted,
many errors here, and the frequency of vaccines and yearly boosters is of great concern with potential harm.
They are getting ready to launch a new vaccine (the previous one was a disaster and was forced off the market but without adequate public education about that). Many more questions to be answered first.
VACCINES of INFANTS at age of 12 weeks, 17 weeks and then YEARLY BOOSTERS are suggested here. This could be very dangerous and detrimental to so many people.
. . . Other studies (4)( Henry M. Feder, Jr., M.D., Barbara J.B. Johnson, Ph.D, et all. 2007) argue that the chronic Lyme disease symptoms can be the consequences of the initial infection, rather than the persistence of the bacterial infection. Certainly, more data and extended monitoring of patients diagnosed with borreliosis are necessary.
The risk to develop the Lyme disease after a tick bite is statistically low, so that the routine antimicrobial prophylaxis is not indicated for the people bitten.
The vaccination against the Lyme disease is not included in the traditional vaccination schemes applied in our country; the vaccine is usually made on request.
[VACCINE}
Such a vaccine is “Merilym” obtained from cultures of inactivated borrelis administered subcutaneously at doses of 1 ml at 12 and, respectively 17 weeks,
with annual booster before the activity season of ticks. . . .
. . . The Lyme disease prognosis is favorable. The most common reason for the lack of response to the antimicrobial therapy in the patients with borreliosis is usually a misdiagnosis. The symptoms (fatigue, arthralgia, myalgia) may persist for several weeks after completion of the antimicrobial therapy and are resolved spontaneously without additional antimicrobial therapy. . . .
Conclusions:
. . . The patients, who were once sick of borreliosis, will remain seropositive for a period of several years, even if they have received appropriate treatment. The Lyme disease prognosis is favorable. There was no fatal case of borreliosis. . . . ------------
[again, many errors, misconceptions and assumptions] -

Willseremak, why did you choose to search for these keywords in the first place?
Elena "I found this by a google search but the page isn't working. Could someone search ""psychopathology borreliosis" barbara johnson" and tell me what this is about? "

- Nothing of value turned up from a cross search for that term and author's name with both Google Advanced Search and with PubMed.
That author is one with the link LymeToo posted, though. Search her name at PubMed for articles she may have co-authored, and that may pop up.
Be aware, though, that she is not lyme literate and follows the IDSA thinking. -
