ABSTRACT Clinical practice guidelines are increasing in number. Unfortunately,when scientific evidence is uncertain, limited, or evolving, as is often the case, conflict often arises between guideline committees and practicing physicians, who bear the direct responsibility for the care of individual patients. The 2006 Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines for Lyme disease, which have limited scientific support, could, if implemented, limit the clinical discretion of treating physicians and the treatment options available to patients.

Yes, i think that is it! Thank you!
I wonder how many doctors read this and really though about it.

They don't. They leave it up to the CDC and IDSA to inform them. Now the CDC is backing this.
This effort is spear-headed by CFS advocate, Kenneth Friedman, PhD, UMDNJ, and a Florida-based "neuro-endocrine immune" support group, P.A.N.D.O.R.A., for which he is Director of Public Policy.
The Center will be located at the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey, home to both Mr. Friedman and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
We are concerned that Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (deeply involved in the Lyme vaccine clinical trials & was home to someone acknowledged in the IDSA Guidelines) has published numerous articles strongly discounting the notion that chronic Lyme disease symptoms remain after standard IDSA treatment.
If symptoms remain, they are either considered by them to be psychiatric in nature or a result of autoimmune disorders, such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
At the recent IDSA Lyme Guidelines Review Panel hearing, it was reported that, "these syndromes have more in common than their apparent differences would suggest and may be best considered under the rubric of a Functional or more accurately, Dysfunctional, Somatic Syndrome."

Don't they realize how utterly insane that sounds? Don't any of these doctors want to find a cause for disease? They just want to accept some supposed autoimmune disorder or syndrome with no known cause. Goodness, don't these idiots want to be at the forefront of medicine...not lagging behind with the same old, lame a$$ arguments???
They can all stick it!
