Dear Mr.Baggott,

Cc CONN. CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION

On 23 October 2003, Connecticut resident Kathleen Dickson must go to
court yet again to defend herself from false allegations by the Dept.
of Children and Families.
It is no accident that this is happening to Kathleen. A former Pfizer
analytical chemist, Kathleen's knowledge about Lyme Disease testing
procedures, as well as her outrage at injustice, led her to become
prominent in exposing the corruption at the heart of the controversy
over this disease, now acknowledged to be the second fastest-growing
infectious illness after AIDS.

. Her testimony and activism helped to take down Glaxo's dangerous
LymeRix vaccine, forced Rhode Island legislators to take the issue of
Lyme bio-markers seriously,and is currently the main force behind an
official racketeering complaint filed with the US Dept of Justice
naming some of the biggest and most powerful players in the world of
medical fraud. All these activities benefit patients, both in the US
and abroad, enormously.Lyme is an extremely debilitating disease
whose huge range of symptoms can often lead to misdiagnosis. Without
early or sufficient treatment, it often develops into a severe
disabling form which can affect virtually every system in the body.
The involvement of insurance, biotech and other industries in Lyme
disease spin; their sponsorship and lobbying of government, medical
and academic institutions, has led to a denial of this reality.
Diagnostic criteria were altered so as not to interfere with the
profits of vaccine or test-kit makers, local tourism and real estate
industries,among others.In the US and abroad, issues of harm and
neglect in governmental handling of this disease were covered up.
This has meant that the number of adults and children denied
treatment or even denied correct diagnosis in the first place may run
into millions.

Those who, like Kathleen, had the courage to speak out, were rewarded
with serious threats and repression. Doctors such as Joseph
Burrascano who are independent of the big corporations have come
under tremendous pressure to submit to the racketeers. Some have
buckled under this pressure; some have been forced to help patients
in secret; some have had their licenses removed and two have
committed suicide.
In those areas where Lyme is not officially acknowledged to be
endemic (much of the US as well as western Europe) unreliable blood
testing procedures are used to maintain artificially low statistics.
Patients who challenge this "norm"are accused of hypochondria;
parents of Lyme kids may have their children removed under
allegations of Munchausen's-by-proxy.

Kathleen Dickson filed racketeering complaints to the United States
Department of Justice in which she named senior medical figures at
Yale University. She has accused the Governor of Connecticut, and top
officers of the CDC of complicity in the Lyme cover-up. According to
Kathleen, corrupt scientists suppressed their own findings that could
have provided more reliable diagnostic tests. "Effective therapies
have not been funded.,"explains Kathleen," Rather, the chronic waste
of NIH funding into the RICO network created by the ALDF.com/EUCALB
and Yale University, has brought increased disability burden to this
country, and is an enormous crime, affecting three continents."

We demand an end to the persecution of Kathleen Dickson, and of her
children,who are having nightmares that they will be removed from the
mother they love, as a result of baseless and politically motivated
accusations.
