Very interesting, especially the trials he has been running. Since the NIH isn't interested in treatment, I guess this is what our docs have to do.
I do take issue with his statements on most patients having had prior abuse issues. Unless he is talking about the abuse we get from mainstream medicine when we try to get treatment or diagnosis, then I doubt this. And I think it gives the wrong impression of lyme patients to the general public.

Poppy,
Yes, I wasn't too keen on that either...but the rest of what he says is fantastic.
I wonder if his observation is based on sampling bias - i.e., the people willing to answer the questionnaires for his research are those who have had more history of abuse...

He never did a Psychiatric Eval on me so there is no way he would know my history. Not sure where he got those findings.
I am a Clinical Psychologist and work with quite a few chronic Lyme patients. Maybe 10% of that sample population has reported any sort of abuse. I have not seen it in my Psychology practice.

Great presentation (thanks for posting Razzle)!
I think if most of his patients have been abused, then most people in general (on the planet) have been abused. Very sad. I think his point though was that lyme docs should make sure their patients get some psych help or they won't get better.
