Dear Friends,
I haven't been here in a while, and am learning my way around again. Hi to many old friends.
I'm concerned that yet a new source of misinformation about Lyme has appeared.
There's a new DVD/ CD out in the lecture series presented by The Teaching Company. You may get their catalogues; they offer the "Great Courses" in video, DVD and CD format. You can listen to a college professor's lecture during your commute, or watch one on your DVD player. The audience tends to include professional people (i.e. physicians, scholars) who want to learn about other fields.
There is a new course being offered. By a physician from Yale (or his MD degree is from Yale, it wasn't clear).
It's called "Medical Myths, Lies and Half Truths." And in Lecture 13 he talks about Chronic Lyme Disease.
I called the company to ask how he presents it. "Only the most scientific, approved, Western medicine approach," I was told.
Full disclosure: I have not yet viewed this. It costs $139 to order the whole course. But I did tell the customer service operator that if a Yale physician is going to debunk Chronic Lyme Disease as a "myth" then the Lyme community is going to respond.
Someone of us needs to screen this. Please feel free to circulate/ share this info.
phone 1-800-832-2412 9:00 a.m. to 12 midnight eastern time Monday through Friday; and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. eastern time Saturday and Sunday. After hours, an automated voice mail system is available.
Mail: The Great Courses, 4840 Westfields Blvd., Suite 500, Chantilly, VA 20151
Fax: 703-378-3819
Sending wellness to you all

HENSON!!! So NICE to see you!
I somehow missed this post earlier and the fact you were back... but then I miss a lot lately.
This topic is quite interesting, in a weird sort of way. I have serious doubts that a Yale doc would debunk Yale's side of the chronic Lyme myth. My guess is he/she would debunk ours. But I don't know. Miracles DO happen.

I traced it back to the author of the series and then I KNEW the name sounded familiar!
He is QuackWatch!! The slime site that would attack its own mother if it were actually born and not created in a septic tank.
[Can you see I haven't changed? HA!]
Here is a link to let you know a little. I haven't read it, but it should have some key words in it to let you know he is a nightmare waiting to happen.

Here is some of Novella's "stuff". He is being used as an expert because he is from Yale. Makes me wonder how many bad apples is Yale producing?
He says.... "Those who argue otherwise, are "making multiple assumptions that are not established", Novella warns."
