Good research that is can lead to valid conclusions take time.

They have to find the right "test" group, right control group,

Probably do tests/studies on all patients participating,

And conduct the study. If it is anything like the 3 months of IV therapy,

If I remember correctly they also retested patients 3 months post end of IV.

Minimum of 6 months not including the solitication or selection process. [dizzy]

Good valid research takes time.

Hang in there.

Hugs,

I understand your impatience but these things take time. Ask again in 8-10 years.

re: waiting 8-10 years...

I'll probably have Alzheimers by then.

If you are inclined to believe that Lyme is a government experiment... you probably won't get much out of any research university like Columbia.

They are an ivy league school just like Yale - so, I don't really expect much.

They may find some answers but it's hard to say if they will let us regular folks know how to get better...
