I love the way the idiots always tell the doctors to say if we believe this positive Lyme result, we may be missing the "real diagnosis" and harm the patient. Then how come 50+ doctors in 5+ years are too incompetent to nail down the diagnosis anyways? Pretty pathetic. Always pull out the BS line like this. I'm so so sick of these doctors. It's wrong, wrong, wrong.

And are we surprised that the lyme culture test is now being discredited, when culturing is the gold standard for other types of pathogens?

Basically, they do not want a good test for lyme.

Notice CDC's Paul Mead keeps showing up in these anti-lyme articles.

They should use Paul Mead for shark bait!
