They are flooding our representations with their typical B.S. since updating guidelines isn't important to them. Maybe the new guidelines will have less misinformation, so maybe that's why they want to send these letters out quickly!

"The premise for prolonged antibiotic therapy for Lyme disease is the NOTION (my caps) that some spirochetes can persist despite conventional treatment courses....."
A notion?
That terminology insults research done by outstanding scientists. Where does IDSA get that notion? Certainly not from evidence, but hey, what does Johns Hopkins know....and what do S. Barthold know......and Miklossey.....and D. Volkman.........and the list goes on.
A notion? Since when are empirical results considered a "notion"?
How insulting.

I think that's what they were trying to say. I'm sure it was a typo by them. Posts: 967 | From A deserted island without internet access | Registered: Sep 2009
