Relatively recently, didn't the CDC change its stance and attitude about clinical diagnosis and treatments and testing for Lyme and Co-Infections?
Can anyone help me to locate some of the older CDC published recommendations and data?
I have actually found a Dr who is willing to learn but I have to show him how the CDC flips and flops on this disease.
I have to prove to him that even the CDC says/said it is a clinical diagnosis and not one that can only be proven by the lab results.
Can anyone point me to some links that may assist me with this - it is so important - we would have a Lyme Dr in an aea where we have NONE (Tucson, AZ) if I could get the right data to this one man willing to read a little more.
I don't have a lot of time to do it - he is not very patient with me on collecting data while expecting to be trerated, which is why I am asking and not just spending the next several weeks doing it all on my own.
ANY assistance most appreciated.
Again, he wants to see the CDC info where they state it is a clinical Dx and also that the labs are not always to be the best for diagnosis and of course I have already given him the Burrscano and other pertinent papers, but what he wants now is the CDC stuff and since the CDC recently changed it's mind, I'd like to show him the old point of view - of a clinical DX being the best and maybe the only, way to go. I already of course have the current CDC info but it ain't the same as it was just a year or two ago.
Thanks in advance *BugBit*

The easiest thing to do is to do a google search using the words CDC and Lyme diagnosis -- when the relevant search result is returned click on the word cache -- this may show an older version depending on when the website was archived.
If that does not work, there is something called the wayback machine. I forget the web address. It lets you search any website for previously archived posts -- some going back years.
Someone else can probably help you with this. Sorry I can't help more right now.
