I just emailed him this.
First thing I would like to say is nail these corrupt greedy liars to the wall.
They have gone totally against the correct practices of treament for lyme disease. Heres a pdf file on the abilities of lyme spirochetes to hide,and sequester themselves in our tissue just one of the many reasons we need long term antibiotics to go after this disease and its coinfections. Here's the pdf. Its on lots of studies on the abilities of spirochetes. Link below.
And a attachment pdf also. And here is a compilation that I have gathered since having lyme disease its on lymenet.org under Newbie Links . heres link:

This is GREAT NEWS! For those of us not living in Connecticut, what this means is there is a legal precedent for reviewing the IDSA guidelines at the very least! (The proverbial "seal" has been broken!) Depending on the outcome of the investigation...there could be more far-reaching legal precedent for other AGs to initiate investigations!
Thanks for the hard work!!!!!

We are very fortunate to have Blumenthal here in CT, he's been VERY supportive of Lyme people.

I hope other AGs take Blumenthal's lead.

I feel that someone needs to be made accountable for the Lyme fatalities and cost to society because they would not allow extended treatment.
It is the CDC's job to protect public health, and they are promoting the IDSA guidelines on their website and have encouraged all state health departments to follow the IDSA guidelines, while not informing the public of two standards of care.

CDC sent me a letter assuring that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the new Lyme guidlines.
You wish, CDC!
