My kids are under the care of Dr. Jones. He has physicians from all over the country visit with him for a week ("preceptorship")
We have seen him twice and have been amazed at his knowledge of LD and coinfections and his dedication to sick children.
Perhaps just as amazing is the dedication of the physicians who join him during a week of preceptorship.
These doctors are young, relatively speaking, and are so incredibly knowledgable themselves and dedicated to helping their patients. They look up to Dr. Jones because of his vast knowledge of LD and co-infections and his steadfast resolve to treat his young patients based on his vast clinical expertise rather than an artificial model put forth by a "doctor" in an ivory tower.
If Dr. Jones was prevented from treating sick kids, the ramifications would be devastating, both for the children he treats and for these wonderful like-minded physicians who treat sick kids.
Dr. Jones is incurring legal expenses to the tune of $1500 a day. He is a modest man practicing medicine in a modest office. He works 7 days a week to help sick kids.
If you would like to read more about the character of this man, please read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. In her book there is a section on Dr. Jones and his affiliation with Martin Luther King Jr, with whom he attended school. You will see that Dr. Jones is a man of principle who has lived his life standing up for what he believes in.
There are few, if any, times in life when we are touched by greatness. History will surely look upon Dr. Jones as someone who affected the world simply because he stood up for what he believed in, regardless of what others thought and regardless of the consequences he would face. Throughout his journey, he has helped thousands of children.
I urge every single one of you reading this to please consider making a donation to Dr. Jones' legal fund. No donation is too small.
Your check can be made payable to "Pullman & Comley, Trust Account for Dr. Charles Jones" (please put "gift" in the memo field).
You can mail it to:
Elliott Pollack c/o Pullman & Comley, LLC 90 State House Square Hartford, CT 06103-3702
And, in case you're wondering, I have no financial interest in this at all, nor have I been asked to post anything on any website either.
I'm just a mom with sick kids, like so many of you.

KATHY,
great post from a mom w/lyme kids treated by dr. jones!!
i, too, have no financial interest, etc. as she pointed out.
i DO have this interest in seeing and helping parents get to kids llmds like our outstanding DR. JONES!!!
another suggestion since Christmas is coming and your yearly typed email/snail mail letter will be sent out.
how about putting a suggestion in there with info from my post above kathy's...
it has dr. jones home address for letters of SUPPORT/THANKS to him...
it has dr. jones DEFENSE FUND ADDRESS TOO...
one other thing i'd add would be UNDER OUR SKIN LYME DOC. TRAILER and encourge folks to watch it!
perhaps you have some family members, friends, or neighbors who are well to do, please mention dr. jones situation to them, and ask them to water trailer of UNDER OUR SKIN.
3. Select "Pullman & Comley Trust Account for Dr Charles Jones"
4. Follow prompts to download the igive.com toolbar (optional) which generates a few cents more every time you perform a simple web search!(for those of you without $$ to help)
Please Note: Since the trust does not have 501(c)-
