Kam, That wouldn't be necessary.As ConnieMc said, he's on their side. I've got some "pearls" of my own for him,unfortunately this is a "family" forum.

What's the old saying,"....neither cast ye pearls before swine...." ?

Auwaerter was recommended to me by a Health Care Advocate but had a 3-month waiting list so I went to another doctor in his group at Johns Hopkins.

After a lengthy examination, this other doctor told me I didn't have Lyme because my tests were negative and that all of my symptoms must be due to depression since I "no longer do the things I used to like doing in the past".

When I asked him about the possibility of a false negative because of Lyme testing inaccuracies, he said "I'm unaware of any issues surrounding the tests." It was like he was a robot!

Waste of time!

In the link to the right on that site, he introduces himself as the head of infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins.

What a crock of **** this guy is feeding!!!

Unfortunately, these are websites visited by primary care physicians around the country, taking what this ******* is saying as 'scripture'.

No doubt this is all part of their plan. If they saturate the sources the doctors use with their "facts" it will all be accepted as common knowledge among the medical community.

That will make it harder to come behind them and re-educate once this is all over.
