I am officially declaring war on ducks and duck motels!
NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!
We MUST start working together.. ASAP!
Some folks with Lyme are already feeling the effects of the latest IDSA guidelines.. and are unable to refill prescriptions they desperately need. You could be next.
By the way.. the CDC has just posted the IDSA guidelines on their web site.
Now more folks will end up suffering.. LOTS more folks.. because to "have Lyme" now.. the doctors must see a rash... and if they don't.. you need to test positive on both ELISA and Western Blot to get a maximum of 28 days treatment... IF you get that.
ENOUGH OF THE INSANITY! ENOUGH OF THE ARROGANCE! ENOUGH OF THE IDIOTS! ENOUGH OF THE EVIL! ENOUGH OF THE MONOPOLY ON OUR HEALTH CARE!
We want dirt on any of the following groups/people... and any conflicts of interest, patents they have, connections with insurance... ANYTHING you can share or dig up. I am furiously writing and researching.. and compiling the information... and could use your help.
Either email me or post your info here... please. It will be sent to the proper authorities.. for sure.
I appreciate the help, more than you will ever know... as I am worn down and still trying to push as hard as I can.
Here is a list of the first line of ducks and duck motels I am requesting help with.. if you please.
The IDSA
Gary P. Wormser
Raymond J. Dattwyler
Eugene D. Shapiro
John J. Halperin
Allen C. Steere

i dont have the actual facts verifiable and referenced --but was told by my LLMD that the steere group USED to "believe in" chronic lyme until the Lymerix vaccine was released. He said you could see their point of view change within 90 days of the release of the vaccine. If this is provable then there is some dirt. not enough but some.
Do you have any ways I could uncover this dirt further? I dont know where to start, but I could if someone gave me some leads.

This is so sickening that they would allow people to suffer. Those who are currently ill and those who have not yet been bitten.
It's disgusting. Wish I could help, but I know nothing.

If you would like to DIG for dirt...
Get yer YAHOO or Google ready.. or whatever you use.. and start typing in words in the search bar..
Like, for example... Dattwyler, insurance
Or... conflicts of interest, Steere
As things pop up.. read them.. pick out any "weird" things that catch your eye.. then post a link here... and tell me what you think is important on that site.

One protest idea: don't call the ducks doctors anymore, just mr's. They don't deserve to be acknowledged as doctors if they refuse to do proper doctoring.

How about this site that was posted in the activism section: www.lyme-rage.info/bwsept06. Lyme and co-infections as biowarfare, and the IDSA, CDC and NIH in cahoots??

Good one, Robin - that lyme rage article is full of nasty connections and what I would consider "dirt".
Frankly, I think it is time we all start considering some kind of class-action lawsuit. Just start entertaining the idea and start getting used to it.
It is time that the IDSA, the insurance companies, the CDC, the NIH, etc. start having to spend big $$$ to defend their claims and policies. So far, the ILADS docs and Lyme patients are the only ones losing money and being hauled into court.
I believe it is time to turn the tables.
This insanity will not stop until the IDSA & Co. have something BIG to lose.
I have contact information for one law office that might be willing to get involved, based in their past cases. So let's keep our eyes open for law firms that may be willing to take something like this on.

I've pulled out the names of the KEY players in the Senate and House of Representatives that may be most helpful in the fight against the IDSA.
In my opinion, these are the people we should concentrate on writing to regarding the IDSA/CDC/ Lyme Disease farse because they are already concerned with or involved in investigating the CDC ``conflicts of interest''.
U.S. Representative Dr Dave Weldon (R-FL) U.S. Representative Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) Senator Chris Dodd, (D-Conn), Congressman Dan Burton, (R-Ind)
Senator Joe Lieberman (D-Conn) Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich) U.S. Representative Chris Smith, (R-NJ) U.S. Representative Dan Burton, (R-Ind) U.S. Representative Joseph Crowley, (D-NY) U.S. Representative Maurice Hinchey, (D-NY)

I second you on the value of applying pressure to targeted lawmakers, Truthfinder.
IMO this isn't the best time for letter-writing, etc. since we're almost to the election and Congress is in recess.
However- this a FABULOUS time to gather a group, however small, and to go in person to lobby reps who are in their home districts/home offices right now. In person lobbying is for a fact the most effective form of influence/pressure there is.
And, um, I notice that a number of the incumbents you listed are pretty vulnerable right now, and are even more likely to listen to constitutents right now. Every vote counts and all that.
Using political pressure is one possible path. There are others.
Tincup, do you know who is mobilizing to fight the ISDA guidelines on the basis of their scientific merit (lack thereof?)

what about other journal articles proving permenent infection.
Persistent brain infection and disease reactivation in relapsing fever borreliosis.
* Larsson C, * Andersson M, * Pelkonen J, * Guo BP, * Nordstrand A, * Bergstrom S.
Department of Molecular Biology, Umea University, SE-901 87 Umea, Sweden.
Relapsing fever, an infection caused by Borrelia spirochetes, is generally considered a transient, self-limiting disease in humans. The present study reveals that murine infection by Borrelia duttonii can be reactivated after an extended time as a silent infection in the brain, with no bacteria appearing in the blood and spirochete load comparable to the numbers in an infected tick. The host cerebral gene expression pattern is indistinguishable from that of
uninfected animals, indicating that persistent bacteria are not recognized by the immune system nor cause noticeable tissue damage. Silent infection can be reactivated by immunosuppression, inducing spirochetemia comparable to that of initial densities. B. duttonii has never been found in any host except man and the tick vector. We therefore propose the brain to be a possible natural reservoir of the spirochete. The view of relapsing fever as an acute disease should be extended to include in some cases prolonged persistence, a feature characteristic of the related spirochetal infections Lyme disease and syphilis.

A demonstration or march makes sense to me. Any march would have to go slow due to our health. Maybe that would make the health issues stand out more though. Is it too late to do something before the upcoming election?

This is old dirt gotten from LDF site but dirt none-the-less and good for newbies to read.
"As president of Brooks Biotechnologies, Inc., Dattwyler has developed a LD test-kit, and therefore may have a vested interest in asserting the reliability of conventional ELISA-based LD tests. It is also possible that Dattwyler could feel threatened by Dr. Orens' use of non-ELISA based tests such as the urine antigen test (which Dr. Burrascano also uses), because his test, available since last year, could become obsolete should another testing methodology become more popular."
"In addition to insurance consulting, some scientific advisers for the ALDF, including Steere, work as advisers to the CDC, giving these few academics the ability to promulgate "standard of care" guidelines and shape federal policy and activity. ALDF scientific adviser Robert T. Schoen, MD, a clinical professor of medicine at Yale University School of Medicine, has done consulting work for Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Connecticare, and Cigna. He and Steere write short-term protocols."
"Yet another plausible reason (that the CDC is reluctant to allow other more accurate tests for Bb to become available) looms. A search of the World Intellectual Property Organization Patent Publication reveals that on 5/26/92, under patent publication #WO9324145, a subsidary of the SmithKline Beecham pharmaceutical company, in conjunction with the CDC, filed a patent on behalf of several CDC employees from the agency's Fort Collins branch who are named as inventors. (These Fort Collins personnel are directly involved in all CDC decisions regarding LD.)
This personal patent is for a specific strain of the LD spirochete and covers the development of an ELISA-based test, a potential vaccine, and more. (The updated patent mentions their "invention" could be used as a candidate to potentially add to the OspA vaccine then under consideration.) CDC employees named in the patent, therefore, may have a vested interest in keeping ELISA-based tests as the standard testing procedure. Schell, whose test is not ELISA-based, said at least one Fort Collins patent-holder, CDC research biologist Barbara J. Johnson, was at the meeting as a member of the evaluation committee."
posted
Don't know if this is dirt per se, but look at these statements from Dattwyler's recent vaccine-related patent applications:
"Currently, Lyme Disease is treated with antibiotics. However, such treatment is not always successful in clearing the infection. Treatment is often delayed due to improper diagnosis with the deleterious effect that the infection proceeds to a chronic condition, where treatment with antibiotics is often not useful. One of the factors contributing to delayed treatment is the lack of effective diagnostic tools."
"...OspA has antigenic variability... Other Borrelia proteins demonstrate similar antigenic variability. Surprisingly, the immune response to these outer surface proteins tends to occur late in the disease, if at all (Craft, J. E. et al., J. Clin Invest. 78: 934-939 (1986); Dattwyler, R. J. and B. J. Luft, Rheum. Clin. North Am. 15: 727-734 (1989)). Furthermore, patients acutely and chronically infected with B. burgdorferi respond variably to the different antigens, including OspA, OspB, OspC, OspD, p39, p41 and p93."
Apparently you've disabled your PMs. I know a person who has ALL the information you desire but I'm not willing to post his name publicly. Please contact me any way you can. Thank you.

More from Dattwyler's patent #7060281, which is for a combination of OspC polypeptides from different strains:
"New diagnostic assays of the present invention, based on major ospC groups A, B, I, and K are useful to identify those at risk for progressive illness. Given that OspC proteins are antigenically variable, individuals infected with one strain may produce an antibody response that is not reactive with an OspC protein from a different major group. Antibody detection using antigen preparations of the present invention, incorporating a proper mix of invasive clones of B. burgdorferi will be much more sensitive than the present, single strain protocols."
You mean, the present tests aren't perfect? So why the emphatic IDSA warning (in italics, no less) not to diagnose any seronegative cases w/out a rash?
And WHY are these 2006-issued patents not disclosed as potential conflicts of interest in the guidelines??

Good morning and thank you all.. burry mush!
OK.. you are all on the right track. Thanks for all the "cool" info!!! I am getting emails and these posts to deal with.. so it's hard to keep up copying them, putting them to documents, then making up emails to notify others... and responding individually to each of you.
Please know that I appreciate all you are doing... even if I don't "hang out" here so much.. and even if you see me here and I seem to be ignoring important posts and "playing around".
I do come here to "play" when my brain is overloaded.. so if I only post a joke on one spot all day... it is not because I am ignoring you... or not because I am not sending out the stuff.. cause I am.
It is because my brain is fried and I can't hold another thimble full of info in that tiny space. OK?
ALL info is being forwarded to folks who are trying to help.
NOW... this morning I had a two hour audience with an attorney... BIG one. Don't even ask who... somethings MUST be kept silent on the board.
First of all... I was shocked I got 2 hours FREE time. REAL shocked!!!
I presented our case.. and they wrote up all I could spit out in 2 hours. They said they will get back with me within 2 weeks.
I told them there are MANY folks needing help.. and then there is this "monopoly" junk going on. (MY words.. not theirs) If and when I hear back.. and they are ready to go... I told them I could get at least 100 people (patients) to them to discuss Lyme concerns and things they are having problems with.
Now.. do NOT get excited about this. I have had my hopes up before.. and we have found help for some folks in the past.. but this is a BIGGIE.. and I don't know yet if they would be willing to take the case. I mentioned I was ccompletely broke.. and they STILL spoke with me... so I thought that interesting??
Anyhow.. do know I will be doing MUCH research, writing, and putting together stuff for them and others. I feel sad I can't chat with each of you about the details... as my energy is so limited and my brain will only stretch so far.
Just know I am trying... and I do need ALL your help to try to make anything happen.
I also know there are other plans in the works.. which will be apparent fairly soon.. and good for us.
My MAIN thoughts are we need to:
1. Stick together.. and COME together.
2. Be ready and willing to move on short notice (get your stories together and your info)
3. Make noise NOW!
More about making noise soon... but in the meantime.. write up a letter to the editor to be used... or get names and contact info from folks you know with Lyme. Update your email address book and make contacts with others with Lyme. Anything you can do to prepare yourself to rock and roll when the time comes.
I don't know the final plans yet.. but I can tell you we will need to have all of are 'ducks in a row', real soon!

If you want to give the CDC a piece of your mind, go here. [email protected]
[The CDC cleverly posts only a link to the IDSA guidelines, the actual guidelines are not on their site. Additionally, the CDC has a disclaimer immediately above the new guidelines link. Think they don't know it's complete nonsense.]
Make sure to tell the CDC you WILL be contacting your federal representative over the IDSA's fraud. Access to all congessionall e-mails in link below.
"Do you have any insight about what national lyme groups are doing to pushback against the new guidelines? How about giving folks here on the Board a quick lowdown that can be made public?"
Sorry...
Sometimes posting on the board is not a good way to keep plans private... and sometimes the plans need to be kept private... especially while they are "in progress".
I'm sure you all understand that. And.. I am not privy to all the plans and all the details. I have been told to sit tight.. do this or that.. and wait.
I know folks are anxious and want to help.. but until I am told what the best route to take would be... by folks MUCH smarter than me... with more experience too... I have to sit tight and wait.
As soon as I know.. I will share. Thanks for your patience.

Kam.. hey hey..
BEFORE you or anyone sends them info.. documented studies.. and such....
PLEASE take time to wade through the new guidelines.. page by page.. to the end.
I STILL haven't been able to make it through all the way.. so if you do .. you are GOOD!
Point being.. they say.. over and over.. from what I have read.. that our studies are basically no good. They have cut them to pieces.. called them names.. etc.
So before spending time .. your precious time.. gathering and sending what they already know and have.. be sure to know it most likely won't mean a lot to them. They KNOW all about the studies.. and chose to ignore them. A number of the studies are even mentioned in their guidelines.. as they LOVE to claim them not credible. What babies they are!
At this time I think your voice as a person with Lyme will possibly do more good? I also think the BIG guys on our side would better be able to fight science with science.... that is if ANYONE can.
Just my opinion... please do it though if you feel it will help.

On the issue of documentation regarding long-term abx...
Two out of three placebo-controlled studies indicated that antibiotics do help patients with chronic Lyme.
The IDSA tried to bury this fact, but it's all there, right in the IDSA guidelines themselves. (All quotes below are from the guidelines.)
Study #1: Klempner. No improvement. (Of course the IDSA doesn't mention the study's massive flaws - see http://www.ilads.org/position2.html ).
Study #2: Krupp. ``Fatigue improved in both groups at the 1-month assessment, but improvement was sustained at 6 months only in the ceftriaxone group [294].''
So... sustained physical improvement. Only in the group that got abx.
Study #3: Fallon. ``Preliminary findings indicate the absence of sustained improvement in cognitive function in the antibiotic-treated group at 14 weeks after therapy, although some patients reported continued improvement in physical functioning [332].''
So... sustained physical improvement. Only in the group that got abx. And there was also cognitive improvement during the study (only for those who got abx), which was not maintained 14 weeks after stopping abx.
Hoping no one will notice these inconvenient facts, the IDSA concludes:
``Antibiotic therapy has not proven to be useful...''
A simple lie, repeated often enough...
There's a more detailed breakdown of these studies on Wikipedia.

I truly believe that the upper echelons of the IDSA are a lost cause. Flooding the CDC and your congressional rep with e-mails, phone calls is far more effective.
Throwing ton's of research at politicians or CDC bureacrats will do no good. Their staffers won't read it anyways. Make it short,sweet and p***ed off ! They understand one thing ! Irate constituients !
You start bombarding them and let them know that the new IDSA/CDC guidelines will kill and debilitate people get's their attention. There's plenty of time to shove research under their noses later.
You've got to create a storm of protest. Forget writing long letters with research. Raw, human emotion is what works.
Here's a sample:
Dear CDC or Congressperson,
Recently the Infectious Disease Society of America published new treatment guidelines for the treatment of lyme disease. The people who've adopted and approved these guideliness have huge conflicts of interest with the pharmaceutical/insurance industry.
Being involved with grassroots lyme disease support groups nationwide, I'm outraged that such fraud and abysmally profit driven guidelines could be published and endorsed by the CDC and IDSA. These guidelines will lead to widespread further debilitation and death of the present and past millions of lyme disease sufferers nationwide.
Support groups nationwide are outraged at the IDSA/CDC complicity in the denial of treatment for scores of ill people and believe me, that will reflect in my vote.
Sincerely,

it is coming back to me...
happened with the ID who trains the UCSF Interns..
I showed him a paper documenting my research...he shows me a paper with the opposite documentation
I show him another paper...he shows me another paper continuing along the same theme...
Bottom line..I was not treated and told that all that could be done was to give me sympathy.
..That part of the brain is getting a little better with treatment but I still find myself making the same mistakes...

I'm sorry I can't read all this right now, but my brain's just not working.
I don't know if this idea has been mentioned already, so I'm just throwing it out there.
I think that it would be a good idea to try to determine close family member's of the lead ducks to determine if there are any interests which may be listed under their names to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
I think financial advisors and accountants have all sorts of tricks for hiding assets. Living Trusts, etc. Maybe there's a way to search for registered trust ownership, trustees, and the sort?
Just wanted to throw that out there, in case it's a new idea.
I'll try to help better tincup, when I get my mess of a life straightened out some.
Good luck for now! Ali

Instead of MANY folks taking the same name to research, how about folks posting who they'll research, and TC, your showing after the names of THOSE SPOKEN FOR, info.

The guys in the IDSA, I agree, KNOW about all the studies already. So, pointing them out TO THEM I(to the IDSA AND CDC I MEAN) would be a waste of time.
As someone else said elsewhere, it is not about the lack of knowledge about these things, but it is about power. The power the IDSA currently have and which they intend to keep.

This problem goes WAY beyond the IDSA & Co.
EVERYBODY should read the article that Robin123 posted about near the beginning of this thread.... we need to understand the underlying dynamics here. Here's a taste of what you will find:
quote:...When Polly Murray made her now-famous call to the Connecticut health department to report the strange epidemic among children and adults in her town, her initial reception was lukewarm. However, some weeks later, she got an unexpected call from a Dr David Snydman, of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), who was very interested. He arranged for fellow EIS officer Dr Allen Steere to get involved. By the time Mrs. Murray turned up for her appointment at Yale, the doctor she had expected to see had been relegated to the role of an onlooker. Allen Steere had taken charge - and his views were to shape the course of Lyme medicine for the next thirty years, up till today. [x]
To understand the significance of all this, we need a closer look at the Epidemic Intelligence Service, the EIS.
The EIS is an elite, quasi-military unit of Infectious Disease experts set up in the 1950's to develop an offensive biowarfare capability. Despite the banning of offensive biowar in the 1970's, the crack troops of the EIS continue to exist, ostensibly for non-offensive research into ``emerging disease'' threats, a blanket phrase covering both bioweapon attacks and natural epidemics at the same time. Graduates of the EIS training program are sent in to occupy strategic positions in the US health infrastructure, taking leadership at federal and state health agencies, in academia, industry and the media. The organisation also extends its influence abroad, training officers for public health agencies in Britain, France, the Netherlands etc. [xi] [xii]
In fact a high proportion of Steere camp Lyme experts are involved with the EIS ....

Just doing a little research on Steere. I'm curious if anyone knows if he's related to William C Steere Jr.- born 6/17/36 Graduated Stanford University 1959 w/BS in Biology who is a Director of MetLife Inc., Pfizer Inc, Dow Jones, NYU Medical Center and on the Exec. Commitee of Sloan-Kettering Memorial Cancer Center? He lives in Rye, NY with wife & has 3 sons.
There was an Allen C Steere- retired 1973-head of Lincoln Financial Groups, Governmental Affairs Department. The Governmental Affairs Society of Indiana established an Allen C Steere Award.
1907-1989 William Campbell Steere - Bryologist- Pres of NY Botanical Gardens 1958-1972. The NYBG dedicated the Bryophyte Collection to him in 1998. He donated Stanford Gardens Botanical Collection to Stanford University. I believe he also donated the Columbia University Herbarium. He received his PhD in 1932 (Stanford?) thesis on cytology. His grandfather was Joseph Beal Steere & Uncle was Rice Beal. He was good friends with Howard Crum.
I'm not sure if any of this means anything or if all my info is accurate. I do after all have Lyme-Brain. I did think it might be interesting.

Interesting abstract:
Grant Number: 1R01AI043063-01 PI Name: CABELLO, FELIPE C. PI Email: [email protected] PI Title: PROFESSOR Project Title: REGULATION OF EXPRESSION OF BORRELIA BURGDORFERI BMPC
Abstract: Lyme disease is a multisystem, tick-borne chronic infection caused by the persistence of the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi.
B. burgdorferi has the ability to proliferate in a variety of niches in reservoir and human hosts as well as in the vector lxodes scapularis.
Preliminary evidence indicates that differential gene expression resulting from environmental stimuli in one of the mechanisms that allows bacterial to adapt rapidly to fast changing environments found during infection and disease of vectors and hosts.
We and others have described a family of chromosomal genes (bmpA-D) encoding homologous 36.9-39.8 kDa lipoproteins of the p39 family.
The tandem chromosomal location of the bmp genes, their homology and overlapping regulatory signals together with the potential surface location of the proteins they encode in addition to their apparent up regulation by environmental stimuli suggests the hypothesis that these proteins may be important for B. burgdorferi survival in different environments.
In this project, we propose to study the effects environmental stimuli have on bmpC, a member of this gene family first described by us, both in vitro and in vivo in mice and ticks, in an effort to improve our understanding of the mechanisms employed by B. burgdorferi to enable it to persist and thrive in vectors and hosts.
The long-range goal of our efforts is to improve understanding of B. burgdorferi gene expression despite the lack of genetic systems that would facilitate this work.
The specific aims of the current project are:
1) identify anti-BmpC Mab and polyclonal antibodies not cross-reactive with BmpD, BmpA and BmpB and use them to characterize BmpC protein and confirm its localization and lipidation in B. burgdorferi 297;
2) Determine levels of expression and mechanisms of regulation of bmpC under different in vitro and in vivo conditions; and
3) Determine genetic organization and DNA structural and regulatory sequences of bmpC in B. burgdorferi, B. afzelii and B. garinii genospecies and in B. burgdorferi 297 grown under different conditions in vitro and in vivo.
The latter studies will indicate whether different levels of transcription are secondary to changes in the regulatory and structural DNA sequences of the bmpC gene.

I'm tired now, I'm taking a break. I hope I don't forget what I was doing again.
Is this the kind of stuff you wanted? If not, I'll stop cluttering up your post.

In 1985, the first research paper on AIDS appeared in The New England Journal of Medicine, co-authored by Dr. Gary Wormser and colleagues who had observed something new in their patients.
Dr. Wormser has continued to contribute in a major way to our understanding of infectious diseases. He is an internationally recognized physician scientist who treats patients while expanding knowledge of infectious diseases through research.
In addition to AIDS, diseases such as Lyme, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) are of particular interest.
Dr. Wormser is also engaged in preparing physicians to identify illnesses caused by biological or chemical agents, such as anthrax, botulinum toxin, plague, smallpox and tularemia.
Dr. Wormser is vice chairman of the Department of Medicine of New York Medical College and at Westchester Medical Center and is chief of infectious diseases for both institutions.
A professor of medicine and of pharmacology at the College, Dr. Wormser has responsibility for scientific affairs and research development in the Department of Medicine, charged to further develop the basic and clinical research focus within the university and at affiliated institutions.
He speaks widely at national and international conferences, and is the author of 300 original articles, book chapters and reviews. His authoritative textbook, AIDS and Other Manifestations of HIV Disease, is in its third edition.
Dr. Wormser received his B.A. degree from the University of Pennsylvania and his M.D. from Johns Hopkins Medical School.

Yes Dilly!
If we're going to shout it, we need to back it up with documentation or we set ourselves up for legal action!
How about pulling together facts and sources and submitting it to newspapers. Protest on the day of publication holding advance copies.

I agree. I brought up the NIH-funded studies earlier in this thread not so we could bombard politicians/CDC etc. with research, but so we could be clear ourselves. And to point out the IDSA's deception which is now clearly right out front. To be pointed out to others.
Simply put, two out of three does not equal zero!
It makes me think of the "one in ten" slogan that was (is?) associated with the gay rights movement. I remember seeing that spray-painted on the streets (inside pink triangles) when I was in college. Everyone noticed. A simple number can get attention quickly when it's not what's expected. And it sticks in the brain.
Two out of three - they painfully admit two out of three - and they're denying us care based on "no evidence"... it's criminal.
We do need to shout, absolutely.

Sorry, LDfighter, I hadn't even read your post. I posted info in Lou's thread in general & was asked to post for tincup.
I guess I misunderstood the meaning of the war declared. Your information was great, thanks for posting it.
I'll butt out & come back later to see what you & tincup have decided to do. I really should be tending to other issues of my own anyway.
PS- for clarification: It was not my thought to bombard them with research, but to have the information & sources organized for when they try to sue our collective @$$ off for challenging them.

Hello Lymies! I wrote my US Congressman a couple of weeks ago giving a first person account of the ravages of CHRONIC Lyme. Yesterday I received a response via snail mail. The first part of the letter was a vague acknowledgement that Lyme is a HORRIBLE DISEASE.
The last part of the letter said, "As I am sure you are aware, there were only 8 cases of Lyme in Tennessee reported to the CDC."
I am sure this letter was written by an aide. I want to write back because this Congressman, Rep. Jimmy Duncan, Jr. (R) has always been responsive to constituents as was his father before him. It is what he is known for around these parts.
I know how to address CDC reporting (as in IT IS NOT DONE) but besides that I have no information for rebuttal. I could use the fact that there is not one physician in my state who is treating chronic Lyme, at least as identified.
What advice does anyone out there have about what else I might do? Feel free to PM me if necessary.
I am just so angry. Can't get diagnosed and can't get treatment. I see Dr. J in NC early next month and we know how his hands are tied right now.
CRAP! Janet

AliG, my comments weren't meant as a response to yours - I'm sorry if it sounded that way. Just general thoughts after reading through the thread & the concerns about whether people should be shouting or researching, or both. I think we're all more in agreement here than it may seem at first.
I do agree with the stuff you wrote & thanks for posting all that info! Posts: 621 | From US | Registered: Jun 2006

DLL, I don't hear anybody saying lets go whine to or shout at the ISDA. I think we're all clear that would be a great big ole waste of time.
The question is, which people or orgs, etc. can make a difference, and what kind of influence/pressure can be brought to bear on them?
I think there is lots of room for creativity here, and different tactics, depending on who is being approached.
Going to speak with your rep in a home district? You're gonna need some facts to go along with a righteously angry voice. Ditto writing letters to reps or newspapers. You can't expect anyone out there to Get It unless YOU can explain it.
My point about coming up with a fact sheet/list of talking points is that IMO,anyone wanting to be involved needs to be well informed. That doesn't mean understanding all the science, just having an overview of what is going on here.
Let Ali's list of NIH money being poured into Steere's pockets sink in. Think about it. OUR taxpayer dollars are being spent on an effort to keep us from gettign well, and allowing many thousand others to get chronic. Stopping taxpayer dollars from going to a particular place- now that IS something that is possible to do.
First, the IDSA's lyme group must be made radioactive.
Here's an example that could be done in the town of every compliict member of the ISDA:
In Baltimore: Anyone close enough to drive to Baltimore? Let's organize a demonstration at Johns Hopkins, as close as is legal to get to where J. Stephen Dumler spends his day. Bring signs that scream (JH's Dumler's science= lyme brain damage- like that). Have phamplets to distribute. Contact the student and city newspapers ahead of time, and every support group for the chronically ill in town. Have the purpose of the demonstration be a letter that is hand delivered to Dumler's higher ups that express outrage at his participation in writing guidelines that are so clearly POLITICAL.
I've done this kind of organizing before, folks, and it DOES make a difference.

I think I've been misunderstood. I'm not 'telling' anyone to do or not to do anything, but only stating that I think (you or anyone doesn't have to agree with me) the IDSA, CDC for instance know all about all the studies that we might like to point out to them but that it is power that is the problem, not that they are not aware of chronic Lyme (it's existence) or long-term antibiotics (it's effectiveness).
So, please do not take it as a criticism by me towards anyone. All work is good work in education the public and politicians, etc.
