My guess is he is doing a study to show how STUPID that protocol is and how dangerous. The 2 pills cures Lyme disease theory. Yeah, right.

It is still being pushed here in the US by the biggest two headed toads. NOT COOL, not at all! Even grammar school kids know 2 pills won't cure Lyme.

Ugggggggggggg!

I read recently that he's offered to have folks call him and discuss their Lyme/co situation with him for advice.

I know, Tincup. I was just thinking of the poor souls who were given only 2 pills. It's just a horrible thing to think about.

One of our daughters tutor's husband was given this. The engorged tick was positive for lyme. We haven't seen the tick in over a year so I don't know the husbands status.

This is one of Dr. W's gems. I think he indicated a 100% cure rate but didn't follow the patients after 6 weeks.

Note in the mouse study this treatment didn't work.
