Date Set for Jones Decision

Business New Haven
10/01/2007
by BNH


HARTFORD - The state Medical Examining Board will decide the fate of controversial Lyme disease specialist Charles Ray Jones on October 16, according state Department of Health spokesman Bill Gerrish.

Jones is accused of improperly prescribing antibiotics to two children and the board may revoke his license. The case has also drawn the attention of Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who has taken the part of those who advocate for long-term treatment of symptoms attributed to Lyme.

Mainstream medical opinion prescribes a short course of antibiotics to treat the tick-borne illness. Jones, whose practice is based in New Haven, is nationally recognized for his frequent diagnoses of Lyme and long-term treatments.

In nine hearings spread out over more than a year, both sides debated Jones' competency and the treatment and diagnosis of Lyme.

Wishing Dr. Jones the best as always,
Melanie

We all need to keep Dr. Jones in our prayers. I can't even begin to imagine where we will turn if his license is suspended.

Does anyone know why this date was delayed by over a month??

Oh my goodness. When I last spoke to Dr J in July he gave me the impression that it wasn't going to come to this.

If it is worse case scenario, does anyone know if he has to stop practising immediately?

Conflict of interest: we are flying to USA to see Dr J three days after the decision will be announced.

We will be hoping and praying for a good outcome

We are also "hoping and praying" that Doctor J. (God bless him) will be vindicated and be able to continue healing the sick. Our appointment is October 17th (!)- may it be a joyful visit.

as of early september, anyway, dr j did not think the board would take his license.

even if they don't this time, the board is not going to stop going after him. his persecution is far from over.

he needs all the financial support we can provide.

It would be great if people there could have a rally that day, for whichever way the verdict goes. A victory rally or a protest rally. Hopefully, the former!

UPDATED message from LymeInfo:


I have been informed that the story I relayed to you from The Connecticut Business News Journal of October 1, 2007, seen here on LymeInfo as Message #3924 which originated from this website

http://www.conntact.com/article_page.lasso?id=41337

is incorrect.

A decision in Dr. Jones' case before the CT Medical Examining Board will _NOT_ be taking place on Oct 16th, 2007 as reported in the article.

The Board expects to release the proposed decision in the next couple of weeks, and the earliest expected time for a scheduled CMEB
determination would be the November 20, 2007 meeting.

I repeat, Connecticut's Medical Examining Board will not be deciding Dr. Jones' case Oct 16th, 2007.

Maybe Dr Fallon's study will help him? Is it too late for that?

"Maybe Dr Fallon's study will help him? Is it too late for that?"

It would be very nice if that happened! I am sure it couldn't hurt.

Just reminding you that Dr. Fallon did present his pre-published findings at Dr. J in NC's trail...and you know how that turned out.
