Begging for a favor

Please rate this garbage piece a "1". To quickly put it in perspective why would Lyme Disease be listed by the US government as one of only 34 bio terrorism agents if it were mild, easily diagnosed and easily cured. Why would 7000 parents drag their kids to Dr Jones in CT in the last 10 years, and pay for treatment and transportation out of their own pocket for treatment if their kids were not very, very sick and not getting any help from their own doctors because of articles like this one.

This piece is checkbook journalism. Somebody paid these two people to lie. The American Lyme Disease Foundation was set up as a front for Insurance companies and unethical researchers to allow them legitimacy.

As one investigative journalist said "the handling of Lyme Disease will be the 21st Centuries biggest scandal when the truth is finally allowed to come out."

3. Ok, since you begged.

I don't spend much time DUing polls in the media or rating articles anymore because the media has become my enemy. Unless it seems important to the person requesting it. So I did it. :-)

5. I have a friend

in Colorado who contracted Lyme while visiting her brother in NY. To make a long story short, Lyme did not just happen naturally. She has done alot of research, even was threatened at one point of not being treated further. There is ALOT out there we don't know, this is just the tip of the iceburg.
