He is right, the proof and science is there, but there is so much censorship.
I am not familiar with this presenter, but the presentation would be more professional if he wasn't dealing with so much brain fog himself and could read and pronounce things more fluidly.
It was good to see some footage of the Congressional hearings.

The presenter is a man named Randy Sykes who has been active in the Lyme movement for many years. It is true that he was battling severe Lyme whilst making and giving the presentation.
What he has done is gathered a large number of documents, including many from the peer-reviewed medical literature, which prove the fact that chronic Lyme is a persisting infection.
Ironically years ago the very people who deny the existence of chronic Lyme today published all the many details of its chronic course. they have never explained why they did a sudden about-face and repudiated their own findings.
Among them one Allen Steere.
The video also includes very informative and entertaining footage of ILADS' Dr Steven Phillips making a monkey out of the Ct. health chief, during the 2004 Connecticut hearing which Randy Sykes organised years ago. I won't ruin your enjoyment by telling you just how Dr Phillips did it, but suffice it to say that the info provided by Dr Phillips is very useful to anyone needing to prove to a doctor or other person the reality of Lyme as a persistent infection.
More tragically there is testimony by a woman who had repeated miscarriages due to Lyme. Maternal-foetal transmission of Lyme was proven decades ago; sadly there is still abject denial of this truth, so tragedies like this are continuing all the time.
What's even more disgraceful is that there are some Lyme campaigners who actually don't acknowledge the fact that transplacental Lyme is proven beyond any doubt (for example our useless campaign here in the UK has signed an agreement with our public health service to the effect that mother-to-child transmission is an "uncertainty" - a shameful lie, which I believe they have accepted just for "expediency".).
The video also includes the famous clip from Under Our Skin where Dr Alan MacDonald describes his stunning findings of Borrelia in autopsy Alzheimer's Disease brain tissue.
Randy Sykes mentions that while the finding of Lyme bacteria years ago occurred in 7 out of ten Alzheimer brain specimens, today it has been found in a further study of 5 specimens, in ** 100% ** of them.
Finally Randy does not shy away from the darker issues behind the Denial. he presents authentic documents showing the history of US biological warfare experimentation including studies inserting various pathogens into ticks. You may be very surprised to recognise the name of one of the authors of the studies involved.
He also shows documents regarding Erich Traub, the Nazi biowar scientist recruited under Operation Paperclip after WW2 where he is alleged to have conducted open-air tick experiments on Plum Island (see Michael Carroll's excellent book "Lab 257" for more info re this).
Randy shows original FBI documentation obtained under FOIA which demonstrates how this man was suspected of being on US territory for the purpose of enemy activity during the war. Traub was a very senior figure in Hitler's biowarfare programme (which is not very well known to historians, no doubt because much of the info remains classif8ied by the DoD to this day).
Despite his record, Traub was invited to ** take charge** of scientific work on Plum Island after the War.

You're welcome. I think it would be a good idea if everyone who has watched the video sent an email to the TV programme thanking them for featuring Randy Sykes' Lyme video. This will encourage them to cover accurate Lyme material in future.
