Hi everyone
I have been healing from lyme for 3 years and doing very well now. But, I'm just so confused as to why there is such a coverup? Doesn't make sense to me.

This epidemic is so huge, that if everyone were properly diagnosed and treated right now, our health care system would collapse. IDSA with its ties to the insurance companies, is trying to keep a lid on it, hoping it doesn't explode until after they're all dead or at least until after they have all escaped to Paraguay like the old nazis did.

--------------------
Sick since at least age 6, now 67. Decades of misdiagnosis. Numerous arthritic, neuro, psych, vision, cardiac symptoms. Been treating for 7 years, incl 8 mos on IV. Bart was missed so now treating that.

I hear you, but it still doesn't make sense! Aids was a huge epidemic and that wasn't covered up. This is all so confusing - what's happening and why is this happening?

Money - insurance companies don't want to pay for all the care. That's one major reason.

Actually, AIDS assistance and care was fought by the powers that be for awhile in the begining.

It's only when 1000s of people were dying that people "acted up," forming the first of two ActUp groups, that things started to change.

They fought for funding, fought for treatments, started getting treatments themselves from Mexico, I believe, etc.

Randy Shilts' book, "And The Band Played On" documents that struggle.

I worked as a volunteer in the early days of AIDS in the US. It wasn't covered up because the potential for media sensationalism was just way too tempting. I mean, how can you ignore a disease that only hits gays? What a perfect opening for the six o'clock news (and the Sunday sermon)! If Lyme was confined to a particular group of people who could be marginalized and condemned for it, you'd be hearing about it on every news broadcast and reading about it in every newspaper. It's because it hits ordinary people that it gets ignored and covered up.

In the 1980's a law was passed that allowed scientists to patent their discoveries, testing equipment, etc. Also, the ego loves to think that it has discovered a new disease.

They don't want to lose their investments.

And insurance companies are corrupt as well, and have close ties to those who make these rediculous guidelines. Insurance companies pay these IDSA "consultants" big bucks to keep those guidelines as the law.

I often wonder if other areas of our healthcare are being corrupted like this. I doubt if it is just Lyme.

Jerks like Steere made early mistakes and decisions regarding what caused the symptoms and how to treat it. Those decisions eventually resulted in people dying because they were not adequately treated. To admit they were wrong would also be admitting due to their errors, people died, which would expose them to significant lawsuits. This forces them to continue to lie, only digging them deeper and being responsible for more deaths, making it harder to admit the truth.

Hoops....just looked this up on Amazon. I can get a brand new copy for $22.40 but used copies are going from $104 through $939. All paperback!

Methinks book sellers somehow play games on Amazon, but no idea why.

Thanks for posting the book. Tough call, but think I'll have to settle for "New" and pay $22.40.

They will start treating or else there will be civil unrest if not down right war.

Because they know we are now tolerizeing even Rabies and Anthrax in the people.

And projected rates of Autism for 2022 is 1 in 9.

Detection of infections at 3:08.

Like Doc Judy said---we don't have another 3 yrs. to wait on treatment...+++HIV did not cause AIDS---

http://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications/Publications/ECDC_CDTR_06.07.2012.pdf

Are the heroin users getting Anthrax because of the immune supression from the pandemic of neurological syndromes?

Or is Anthrax folding into the genes from vaccine induced infections caused by prion synergy perpetuating those infections?

What does it take to be able to tolerate Rabies and Anthrax like in the Heroin users?

http://www.examiner.com/article/sciencedaily-com-rabies-not-100-percent-fatal-even-when-left-untreated

Now ya gotta member this has been going on 30somethin yrs. now but the hoards for profits are just now being hugely shared and most don't even want to go there...LOL

Neuroimmunoendocrine regulation of the prion protein in neutrophils.

Because Prion/AIDS/LYME is all the same thing.

So you got UK who don't want to look like the fools they were starting a pandemic they couldn't figger out and slaughtering 200 million cattle instead of treat,

you got zillions of dollars robbed from the public for a Virus that did not cause the real AIDS, and their failures to treat what did,

and you got millions who suffer and die from syndromes that don't exist...

And in case you haven't heard---the HIV vaccine trials induced a new AIDS like syndrome.

The very real kicker is the longer they deny the masses treatment the harder it is to determin what is really wrong with them....

The reasons for a coverup are that our government is the most corrupt govt in the history of the world. Our congress passed ERISA which says well meaning doctors and desperate patients cannot sue genocidal health insurance companies because those ins cos paid our senators and congressmen to pass laws favorable to corporations and Americans continue to watch tv and do, almost, nothing about it. Americans believe every word THEIR corrupt political parties tell them.
