The reason there is IV treatment for Lyme in the first
place is because IV treatment was the first treatment
of choice for CNS (central nervous system or brain)
infections- which Lyme borreliosis *is.*
http://actionlyme.org/THE_TREATMENT_OF_LYME_DISEASE.htm
If you have evidence of a pay-off to Sigal, you should
report that to the US Attorney's office.
Pat Smith ruins everything because her only goal is to
be the famous Pat Smith, but she has an IQ of about
80, which a dangerous combination.
As I recommended on my videos, the Treatment of Lyme
disease was IV cef in 1989, from a publication by the
Infectious Diseases Society of America (now hijacked
by Kaiser and SmithKline and is based at New York
Medical College), and at that time, it was known that
treatment failed 1/2 the time and the treatment
endpoint was unknown.
http://actionlyme.org/THE_TREATMENT_OF_LYME_DISEASE.htm
The reason I put this data on my website, is so that
others can read it duh.
The New York Times Writer Gina Kolata did not look at
any of Klempner's data, for her June 13, 2001 NYTimes
story where she reported as the quote of the day by
Lenny Sigal was that "Antibiotics are poison."
Klempner proved nothing other than that the CDC's
testing standard for Lyme was only 4% accurate in late
Lyme. 78/1800 patients tested positive to this bogus
Dressler/Steere criteria.
http://www.ilads.org/position2.html
Klempner would not tell me what DNA primers he used to
assay spinal fluid for Lyme infection. That would be
because he would have used Outer Surface Protein X
from Borrelia Outer Mongolii primers, instead of
borrelia- specific flagellin DNA or RNA primers, if he
did the testing at all.
Sigal was the guy who made the Munchausen's
accusations, followed up by Edward McSweegan's
"Obsession"- which is all the evidence anyone needs
that Edward McSweegan is insane.
http://actionlyme.org/MCSWEEGAN_AND_MUNCHAUSENS.htm
Any legislation passed in any state or at the federal
level should be that the US Department of Justice take
over the prosecutions of sci.med FRAUD and
racketeering, and their trainer case can be "Lyme
disease."
What is a scientifically valid term? What are the
rules of scientific validity? If these are not
commonly understood, we shall forever be subject to
the analyses of data by people the likes of the New
York Times' Gina Kolata.
Or worse.
Ceftriaxone is not poison. In that "Cef is Poison"
"study," no one needed gall bladder surgery, because
cef causes pseudo gallstones, which dissolve on their
own. Whoever performed the surgery on those patients
should be sued for malpractice.
http://actionlyme.org/DEBUNKING_THE...S_BAD_STUDY.htm
Note that Lenny Sigal is a mysogynist, as is Edward
McSweegan, although Ed has informed us that he is
"hung like a horse" in one of his anonymous posts as
Georgia Wissmiller.

Why should sick people have to put up with this
obviously vicious chronic harassment and incompetence?
Why does no one in the Connecticut Department of
Health speak the truth? Have they been threatened?
By whom? Do they say nothing because they know there
is no law enforcement protection here because of
Morano and O'Connor- both Republican Rowlandgators?

This is a copy of a letter that I previously sent to
MA Rep. Shirley Gomes
in the process of negotiating a proposed draft for
Lyme legislation. My main
concern now is that Pat Smith's statement in the Cape
Cod Times (5-4-06) is
being interpreted and portrayed by the legislators as
an approval and,
thereby, becomes justification for putting a docket #
on the draft which will,
in
effect, prematurely make it an active piece of
legislation that we may,
unfortunately, be forced to oppose instead being able
to refine.
Best wishes,
=====================
Dear Shirley,
Cost-benefit analysis by the DPH. The insurance
industry, and their paid
consultants and researchers, have long used this
maneuver as a means to say
that there is no need for parenteral (IV) antibiotic
treatment for Central
Nervous System (CNS) Lyme disease. You will find
that the overwhelming
majority
of Lyme disease specialists (95%), including Dr Brian
Fallon, advocate using
IV to address CNS involvement.
This is because the IV treatment penetrates the
blood-brain barrier more
effectively and the very reason that so many patients
feel the need to go out
of
state. Physicians who oppose IV treatment are
usually "insurance
consultants" or are being paid to do a long-term
study on certain oral
medications.*
There are some patients who do receive long-term IV
treatment from even
conservative academic physicians here. However, these
people are usually the
very few who qualify for the "VIP List"; people with
power, great wealth or
influence (ie, high profile media types,
congresspersons and their staff
families, some residents on Martha's Vineyard, etc.)
The very same physicians
who
might give a person on their VIP list one year of IV,
would deprive one day of
IV to most patients.
Mandated IV coverage is the insurance industry's worst
nightmare. They
would rather pay a few highly-placed academics $10
Million (as was the case of
Dr
Segal reported by the NY Times) per year to be their
spokespersons than to
allow the public to have access to any IV.
I have no doubt of what the outcome would be of such a
study, and I would
have great difficulty endorsing such legislation - as
would the Lyme community.
Sincerely,
NOTES: * many orals have limited or no ability to
impact the CNS.
