Lyme is reaching EPIDEMIC proportions!

Linda’s comment:…WE MUST start standing up and demanding that Lyme be addressed as the epidemic it is worldwide.  Enough is enough.  We MUST do what we can to stop the suffering and deaths that this horrific disease brings…..While the CDC is pushing the Zombie VACCINES, they need to be pushing for answers for this horrific disease.  I’m sick and tired of the FOLLOW THE MONEY mentality we have become use to saying.  STAND UP FOLKS AND LET US BE HEARD…..
 
I have suggested this before, but I want to stress it again.  Think about this….IF thousands of us send demand letters to the CDC on “lime green” 8 x 10 paper, certified mail, return receipt to the CDC, FDA, the PRESIDENT, etc., etc., etc. they would have to pay attention.  PLUS, any certified/return receipt mail received by our US Federal office, MUST be given priority handling according to their “Palm” (regulations for US government office staff)….if it isn’t sent certified/registered then they can simply throw them away, but certified/registered mail brings on a whole new meaning.  It would really excite me if a minimum of 10,000 were mailed!!  Think about it…..then…..JUST DO IT!!

Excerpt:
I live in Ontario and I have Lyme disease. I contracted Lyme here. I was misdiagnosed for four year and I have chronic late stage Lyme. I am one of thousands of people who have this contracted disease in this country. This disease is like AIDS. It affects your immune system and every part of your body and is incurable. It will and can kill a person. Like AIDS it requires long term treatment but with antibiotics not antivirals since it is a bacterial infection.

The most common way of contracting Lyme is through a tick bite but there is science showing it can be passed on through birth and through breast feeding.(1,2) The bacteria that causes Lyme disease has also been discovered in semen although there have yet to have studies on if it is sexually transmitted although the bacteria is a Spirochete a relative to syphilis.(3) We also don`t screen the blood or organ donor supply so it may be possible to contract the disease this way too.(4)

Follicular Borreliosis

Excerpt:

A 56-year-old woman was referred to our department for an
eruption on the front side of the left thigh present for 6 months,
accompanied more recently by arthralgia and localized subjective
neurological symptoms.
The eruption started a few days after an insect bite by a red papule which secondarily enlarged.
The erythema was of variable intensity. Clinical examination revealed
peripilar red papules of the thigh from the groin to the knee( fig. 1 ).
The patient had no remarkable contralateral keratosis pilaris.

Excerpt:

Lyme serology was positive for both IgG and IgM (ELISA, Enzygnost
Borreliosis , Siemens, Dade Behring, Germany, and blot,
Euroline WB , Euroimmun, Germany). A punch biopsy of a papule showed a dermal perifollicular ( fig. 2 ) – and occasionnally perineural – infiltrate of lymphocytes and plasma cells, consistent with a borrelial infection. Borrelia burgdorferi DNA was amplified from fresh tissue obtained from a skin biopsy performed on a peripilar papule, using a specific real-time PCR according to Mäkinen et al. [1] (culture not performed). The erythema resolved after a 3-week doxycycline treatment whereas arthralgia and dysesthesia persisted.
