.. 1 went to the 1st OPEN meeting for public to attend of Ames, Iowa DEER TASK FORCE.
it was ALL committee members except me! all head honchos with ames police chief running the show.
i explained i was there as a lyme disease advocate. later when he opened the floor up, i spoke up immediately to give my speel since i didn't want to stick around for the 1-2 hr. meeting.
i told them about myself; 38 yrs. C.LYME; 34 yrs. misdiagnosed by 40-50 drs.
that iowa has no full-time chronic llmds; WE HAVE TO GO OUT OF STATE FOR TREATMENT, AND OUR HEALTH INSURANCE REFUSES TO PAY FOR OUR TREATMETNS/APPTS.
i had printed out conn's deer task force info someone posted about 2-4 months ago, so took that to police chief so they can use that as a guide and go to conn. site and use what they are doing vs. starting from scratch!
i told thme of the lyme war going on between IDSA VS. ILADS; how we are being punished due to it.
told them about blumenthal's 20 mo. anti trust investigation; IDSA was fould guilty of conflicts of interest, grant money, being on 2 committees using same language on guideliens preventing us from getting LONG ENOUGH ABX treatments, etc.
told them about pallone's holding up our lyme bill and mentioned i called his nj office again today giving them an earful.
told them it was of pallone's complete subcommittee meeting with the IDSA ducks/lawyers the day afte blumenthal's written decision coming out, and then not giving pat smith the paper that pallone was sitting on it.
also, on how i got my lyme; tick from folk's live xmas tree ... no tick embedded and no bulls-eye rash.
chief ... only solution there is eradicating ENTIRE DEER HERDS! yes!
also told them i had concerns about deer meat harvested for needy/homeless.
where do we have info about deer meat? IS IT SAFE? ***********
i seem to remember some posts where it is NOT safe!
do we have an LINKS from good sources on this? **********************************************
