I hope I don't ruin your Sunday. I saw this bs the other day. He is actually trying to promote a shorter duration of abx therapy. Notice how the abstract refers to everything in the general sense and does not refer to "early" vs. "late" lyme.
quote:The clinical outcome with 10-28 days of antibiotic treatment is generally excellent.
Love the generalizations. Makes the already short abstract much shorter! It's good for somebody with first grade reading comprehension as well.
Yea, better shorten that therapy. Shorter treatment might prevent Post-Lyme Syndrome (whatever the hell that is).
In all seriousness, why even take this guy seriously? Ignore the trolls.

Kday -- Certainly not worth paying $60 to access the article.
The key word in the abstract is -- "literature reviews". His suggestions are not even based on original research. When there is no follow-up on patients it is very easy to say they were cured in a short period of time.

Does anyone know who funded the study? New York Medical College? Others?

I could care less what he has to say.

If there is no such thing as chronic Lyme disease than anyone interviewed months or years later -- assuming regular followup is actually performed -- who displays symptoms would, by definition, not have Lyme disease.
So, really, they should have 100% success rates with this kind of set up.
No wonder Lyme is so easy to cure.
Hell, I feel better already.
