    Extractions: Introduction: Lyme disease is an infection caused by the corkscrew-shaped bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi that are transmitted by the bite of deer ticks ( Ixodes scapularis ) and western black-legged ticks ( Ixodes pacificus ). The deer tick, which normally feeds on the white-footed mouse, the white-tailed deer, other mammals, and birds, is responsible for transmitting Lyme disease bacteria to humans in the northeastern and north-central United States. On the Pacific Coast, the bacteria are transmitted to humans by the western black-legged tick. From left to right : The deer tick ( Ixodes scapularis ) adult female, adult male, nymph, and larva on a centimeter scale. These four specimens were collected by Aaron E. Walsh. Ixodes ticks are much smaller than common dog and cattle ticks. In their larval and nymphal stages, they are no bigger than a pinhead. Adult ticks are slightly larger. Ticks feed on blood by inserting their mouth parts (not their whole bodies) into the skin of a host animal, such as a human. They are slow feeders: a complete blood meal can take occupy several days of sucking. As they feed, their bodies slowly become bloated with the red fluid of their unsuspecting host.

    Extractions: Lyme Disease books regarding lyme disease. "Lyme disease is so difficult to detect that the average sufferer sees five physicians before the disease is properly diagnosed. Thirty-five percent of Lyme disease patients suffer permanent bodily damage, and 17 percent lose their jobs" - reviewer. "Lyme disease, caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted by tick bites, was once thought endemic only to the northeastern U.S. but has now been reported in 49 states. The debilitating ailment has proven most elusive of diagnosis, as it presents numerous general signs and symptoms." - Karen Graves "Lyme disease has been called the fastest-growing epidemic of the 20th century, second only to AIDS." - from book synopsis "Lyme disease is called the "Great Imitator" because it can mimic many other diseases, which makes diagnosis difficult. A rash can appear several days after infection, or not at all. It can last a few hours or up to several weeks. The rash can be very small or very large (up to twelve inches across). - from the Lyme Disease Network The books listed below are among the best available for their price, availability, and ease of purchase.

    Extractions: A person does not have to be infected to be affected by a disease. This site began many years ago as a single page. It was an attempt to educate people on how devastating Lyme disease can be. My relationship with others who were cross infected or fell victim to other diseases expanded the scope of this site. Chronically ill from work related exposure, they were discarded by employers. Denial of health insurance and treatment soon followed. Some of these people were fellow health care professionals and Emergency Medical Service personnel. The injustice they suffered daily needed to be made public, and the site grew. Then came September 11. It is estimated that more than three million people are now infected with Lyme disease in the United States. But the CDC tracks cases of Lyme disease by using strict criteria meant for surveillance (not diagnosis). Epidemiologic data suggest that the actual incidence of Lyme disease is many times higher than CDC data shows. Multiple sclerosis, Lupus, mononucleosis, Alzheimer's disease, Arthritis, Lou Gehrig's disease, Chronic fatigue syndrome and a myriad of other illnesses, these unlucky individuals are not included in any census. Without the correct treatment, patients run the risk of "Persistent Lyme Disease Syndrome" (PLDS).

    Extractions: Clinical Name: Lyme disease Fever, lymphadenopathy, lameness, anorexia, myocarditis, inflammatory joint disease, glomerulonephritis, and in rare circumstances, neurologic disease. Lyme disease can be a multi-systemic illness, with signs that may include fever, swollen lymph nodes, lameness, loss of appetite, heart disease, inflamed joints, and kidney disease. Disorders of the nervous system, while uncommon, may occur as well. A vaccine is available to prevent dogs from developing Lyme disease, although some controversy exists regarding its use. An owner should consult with a veterinarian for vaccine recommendations. Treatment involves the use of an appropriate antibiotic, such as doxycycline, for at least three to four weeks. Dogs should begin to show signs of recovery two to three days after beginning treatment. However, the disease may recur within a few weeks or months; in these cases, the dog will need to return to antibiotic therapy for extended periods.

What about the later stages of Lyme disease? How can my doctor tell if I have Lyme disease? ... What do I do if I find a tick on my skin? Printer-friendly version Email this article Lyme disease is an infection caused by a kind of bacteria (germ) called a spirochete (say: "spy-ro-keet"). The disease is carried by deer ticks and western black-legged ticks (found mostly on the Pacific Coast). These ticks can spread the disease to animals and humans through tick bites. These ticks are about the size of a sesame seed. Lyme disease is most common in rural and suburban areas in the northeastern and midwestern states. Lyme disease is also found in other parts of the United States, as well as in Europe, Asia and Australia. Return to top One sign of Lyme disease is a rash, which may appear 3 to 30 days after a tick bite. This rash, called erythema migrans (say: "ear-a-theem-a my-granz"), usually starts at the site of the tick bite. It may begin as a small red spot and grow larger. The center may fade, creating a "bull's eye" or ring appearance, but this is not always the case. Some people with Lyme disease have many red spots. The rash may burn, hurt or itch, or you may not notice it. Other symptoms of Lyme disease include fever, chills, headaches, stiff neck, fatigue, muscle aches and joint pain. In a few people, early Lyme disease can spread to the heart or the nervous system. If Lyme disease spreads to the heart, the person may feel an irregular or slow heartbeat. Early spread of Lyme disease to the nervous system can cause the face to droop (a condition called Bell's palsy).

    Extractions: Let's start this discussion with the big word and get it out of the way. Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction; Herxheimer or Herks for short. When the body is harboring a significant amount of foreign protein, for instance, as in the form of migrating heartworm larvae, migrating larvae of intestinal worms, or the very large spirochaete bacteria that cause Lyme disease, it is faced with a set of problems which cause disease (such as Lyme). When those living organisms die, due to treatment with monthly heartworm medication (any of the monthly meds) or due to treatment of Lyme disease with a good antibiotic, the body reacts differently to the dead protein in its tissues and blood stream. The dead spirochaetes may not be causing symptoms of Lyme any longer, but they now cause an extreme inflammatory response in the individual. The migrating larvae of intestinal parasites usually do no great amount of harm while live, but when dead they, too, cause a massive inflammatory reaction. Killing intestinal parasites as adults does not entail any such risk. Likewise, killing heartworm stages with the daily heartworm medications causes no risk of this nature. The Herxheimer reaction in those of us who have Lyme disease usually manifests itself as feeling really 'sick' one to five days after starting on antibiotic medication, or after starting a different antibiotic medication, and often periodically while continuing on the same medication. This is taken clinically as proof that the disease is still active, and that the antibiotic is effective as well. So there is something good about feeling bad under these circumstances.

    Extractions: Overview Lyme disease is a progressive, systemic illness that is caused by bacteria ( Borrelia burgdorferi ) and is usually transmitted by the bite of an infected deer tick. Infection may result in flu-like symptoms (e.g., malaise, fever, headache, fatigue, muscle pain) and the characteristic "bull’s eye" rash . As the disease progresses, it may cause arthritis and affect the heart and central nervous system. Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics. Incidence and Prevalence More than 16,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported each year in the United States. It is endemic throughout the wooded coastal regions of the Northeast, the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Northwest. In the Northeast and Great Lakes regions, the disease is more prevalent from May to August. In the Pacific Northwest, it is more prevalent from January to May. Causes and Risk Factors Lyme disease is caused by infection with Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria. In the Northeast and North Central United States, the deer tick (

    Extractions: How do you get Lyme disease? Lyme disease is caused by the bite of the western blacklegged tick carrying a spirochete called borrelia burgdorferi. The adult female tick is reddish brown with black legs and is about one-eighth inch long. The male tick is slightly smaller and a darker brownish black color. Both male and female ticks are tear-drop shaped. Ticks in their nymph stage cause frequent bites to humans. In the nymph stage, they are only the size of a poppy seed. The western blacklegged tick has been reported in 50 of California's 58 counties. It is most commonly found in the humid coastal areas and on the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. However, the number of ticks infected with the organism is very low in California. In Connecticut, 30% to 60% of the ticks carry Lyme Disease. (In fact, the disease is named after Lyme, Connecticut.) In contrast, the percentage in California is only 1% to 2%. Humboldt, Sonoma and Mendocino counties traditionally have the highest number of Lyme Disease cases. But even in those counties, only 6% of the ticks are carriers of Lyme Disease. The damp, mild climate and shaded brush-filled fields of these counties provide an excellent home for the ticks carrying Lyme disease. Connecticut leads the nation in numbers of people infected with Lyme Disease at 95 cases per 100,000 people. The national average is 6.58 cases per 100,000 people. In comparison, there are only 0.2 cases per 100,000 people in California. Each year, fewer than 100 Californians are infected with Lyme Disease.

    Extractions: Questionable Diagnosis and Treatment Lyme disease is the most common tick-transmitted disease in the United States. It is most often contracted during warm-weather months. In 1999, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recorded 16,273 cases [1]. The infection is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a spiral-shaped bacterium (spirochete) named after Willy Burgdorfer, Ph.D., a public health researcher who identified it in 1982. The spirochete enters the skin at the site of a tick bite. After incubating for anywhere from a few days up to a month, it migrates through the skin and can spread to lymph nodes or disseminate through the bloodstream to organs or distant skin sites. Ixodes scapularis is the most common tick vector in the northeastern and miswestern U.S. The picture shows (from left to right) the nymph, adult male, and adult female. The spot on the thumb shows the relative size of the nymph. Lyme spirochetes Borrelia burgdorphi Lyme disease typically begins with a skin rash called erythema migrans (EM), often accompanied by flu-like symptoms of fever, malaise, fatigue, and muscle and joint pains. The characteristic skin lesion where the bite occurs is a flat or raised red area that expands, often with clearing at the center, to a diameter of up to 20 inches. However, it does not always occur, which can make the diagnosis more difficult, especially when the patient is not aware of having been bitten by a tick. Other early signs can include small skin lesions, facial nerve paralysis, lymphocytic meningitis, and heart-rhythm disturbances. Early cases are usually cured by three weeks of orally administered treatment with a common antibiotic (amoxicillin or doxycycline). However, if untreated or inadequately treated, neurologic, cardiac, or joint abnormalities may follow. Worldwide, Lyme disease has probably been directly responsible for fewer than two dozen deaths [2].

95. Lyme Conspiracy
    After you read this, please visit the lyme disease Audio Network. The lyme disease Conspiracy. Reprinted from Senate Committee Hearing on lyme disease.  
    http://www.jersey.net/~joebur/conspire.htm
    
    Extractions: Reprinted from Senate Committee Hearing on Lyme Disease August 5, 1993 There is a core group of university-based Lyme disease researchers and physicians whose opinions carry a great deal of weight. Unfortunately many of them act unscientifically and unethically. They adhere to outdated, self-serving views and attempt to personally discredit those whose opinions differ from their own. They exert strong ethically questionable influence on medical journals, which enables them to publish and promote articles that are badly flawed. They work with government agencies to bias the agenda of consensus meetings, and have worked to exclude from these meetings and scientific seminars those with alternate opinions. They behave this way for reasons of personal or professional gain, and are involved in obvious conflicts of interest. This group promotes the idea that Lyme is a simple, rare illness that is easy to avoid, difficult to acquire, simple to diagnose, and easily treated and cured with 30 days or less of antibiotics. The truth is that Lyme is the fastest growing infectious illness in this country after AIDS, with a cost to society measured in the billions of dollars. It can be acquired by anyone who goes outdoors, very often goes undiagnosed for months, years, or forever in some patients, and can render a patient chronically ill and even totally disabled despite what this core group refers to as "adequate" therapy. There have been deaths from Lyme disease.
