Expert? What a crock! It was Dr. Willy Burgdorfer a scientist who discovered the spiral shaped organism.

Take a look at all the comments on this article. I'm not the only one who thinks it's a crock!

The link above took me to the search page.

Your comment are well appreciated. Dr. Burgdorfer is the doctor who discovered lyme, borrelia burgdorferi -- it's named after him.

For newcomers to lyme: this article is filled with a lot of errors. I think this will open the page, though:

Wrong, though as RDaywill come points out . . . so for newcomers, here's the real discoverer and one who understands it SO much better, he's a researcher:

If you want to hear the NPR "Here&Now" interview with Steere, go to

http://hereandnow.wbur.org/2014/06/24/chronic-lyme-overdiagnosed-steere

It now has close to 100 comments which you can check out. Most are negative for Steere and for the interviewer. Worth reading and adding your comments.
