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 They adhere to outdated, self-serving views and attempt to personally discredit those whose opinions differ from their own.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.

The CDC attributed the rise in cases to growing populations of deer that support deer ticks, more homes being built in wooded areas and better recognition and reporting of the disease. Lyme disease was named in 1977 when a cluster was identified in Lyme, Conn. The 2002 cases were mainly in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and north-central states. Only Hawaii, Montana and Oklahoma reported no cases in 2002.

Extractions: Lyme Disease and Other Tick Related Illnesses The Nassau County Department of Health would like to inform you about the dangers of, and how to respond to, Lyme Disease and Other Tick Related Illnesses . You can read each all the way throught, or jump to an individual section by clicking below: Tick Distribution Information and Assistance In recent years there has been an increase in awareness and concern about tick-borne disease. Lyme disease is now the most prevalent illness in our area carried by ticks. Although Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever had been a concern for several years it now appears to be localized elsewhere. Since first documented in 1975 in Lyme, Connecticut, Lyme disease has spread from eastern Suffolk into Nassau, parts of New York City and along the Hudson River Valley. Like all epidemics, the disease will continue to appear in more locations and is now reported throughout the United States. Experts attribute the current spread of Lyme disease to the expanding habitats of the tick that carries it. No one knows exactly why the spread has occurred, but two possible theories are migratory birds and the increasing deer population. Individuals living in or visiting affected areas, including Nassau County, should be aware of the dangers of Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in particular, and ticks in general.

http://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/diseases/lyme.html

Extractions: What is Lyme disease? Lyme disease was first recognized in North America in 1975 when doctors discovered an unusual number of people with arthritis in the town of Lyme, Connecticut, U.S.A. The disease is caused by bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi . Most often these bacteria cause a mild illness that is sometimes accompanied by a peculiar skin rash. In some cases, however, the bacteria can spread to the joints, heart, and brain and cause serious problems. It can also cross from mother to an unborn child and, in rare cases, cause birth defects. Lyme disease is an occupational concern for people who work outdoors in certain areas infested with ticks. It affects people differently most often going unnoticed but sometimes it causes serious problems. If left untreated, it can cause disability.

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by the bite of a deer tick ( Ixodes scapularis) or a western black legged tick (Ixodes pacificus) that is infected with Lyme disease. Young ticks can be as small as a pinhead and the adult ticks are only slightly larger. What are the symptoms of Lyme disease? About 80% of the people treated for Lyme disease have a skin rash that appears within 3-32 days after the tick bite. The rash begins as a small red area at the site of the bite that gradually enlarges; leaving a clear center with an outer ring that is inflamed (swollen). Flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, headache, fatigue (drowsiness), muscle and joint pain, swollen lymph nodes and stiff neck may accompany the rash. If left untreated, Lyme disease may lead to joint, heart and nervous system problems. What is the treatment of Lyme disease?

Extractions: Research-The Key to Progress Health, Safety, Nutrition and Kids The Buzz On Precautions Against Summer's Insects and Poisonous Plants In the early 1970s, a mysterious clustering of arthritis occurred among children in Lyme, Connecticut, and surrounding towns. Medical researchers soon recognized the illness as a distinct disease, which they called Lyme disease. They subsequently described the clinical features of Lyme disease, established the usefulness of antibiotic therapy in its treatment, identified the deer tick as the key to its spread, and isolated the bacterium that caused it. Lyme disease is still mistaken for other ailments, and it continues to pose many other challenges: it can be difficult to diagnose because of the inadequacies of today's laboratory tests; it can be troublesome to treat in its later phases; and its prevention through the development of an effective vaccine is hampered by the elusive nature of the bacterium. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Public Health Service, conducts and supports biomedical research aimed at meeting the challenges of Lyme disease. This brochure presents the most recently available information on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Lyme disease.

http://www.cah.com/library/lyme.html

Extractions: Columbia Animal Hospital's Lyme Disease Lyme Disease is spread to house pets, dogs, cats, and humans by a tiny tick called the "deer tick." The disease is spreading at a rapid rate throughout the U.S.. Cases of the disease in humans have tripled in the past five years and its incidence in dogs may be up to ten times that of humans. There is no vaccine approved to prevent the disease in humans. Lyme Disease is difficult to diagnose in animals, but there is a blood test that generally can detect the presence of the disease. Established antibiotics, such as the tetracyclines and penicillins, are often effective in treating the disease at an early stage. There is an approved vaccine for dogs. It is given in two doses at a two to three week interval and then yearly as a booster. In Maryland, because the concentration of the tick that carries the disease is so high, it is recommended that all dogs be vaccinated against the disease. Preventing tick infestation of your pet is also very important. DO NOT USE any human insect repellents on your pet. These are lethal to pets and cause convulsions and death. We recommend the use of the following. For dogs, use the PREVENTIC COLLAR (amitraz) in combination with Frontline (fipronil) Spray. The initial dose of Frontline for tick prevention is two sprays per pound of body weight. According to the manufacturer, once the spray has been applied, it may be possible to follow up with Frontline Top Spot, a topical product applied monthly and placed between the animal's shoulders, or, you may continue to use the spray.

Extractions: Related Links 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.

http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/lyme_doc.htm

Extractions: Lyme disease is caused by a bacterial organism that is transmitted to humans via the bite of an infected tick. Most people bitten by an infected tick develop a characteristic skin rash around the area of the bite. The rash may feel hot to the touch, and vary in size, shape, and color, but it will often have a bulls eye appearance (a red ring with a clear center). However, there are those who will not develop the rash, which makes Lyme disease hard to diagnose because its symptoms and signs mimic those of many other diseases. Seven to 10 days following an infected ticks bite, the first stage of Lyme disease begins with flu-like symptoms such as fever, chills, swollen lymph nodes, headaches, fatigue, muscle aches, and joint pain.
The Neuropsychiatric Assessment Of Lyme Disease
The Neuropsychiatric Assessment of lyme disease Robert Bransfield, MD. Objective. There are many unanswered questions regarding chronic lyme disease.
http://www.mentalhealthandillness.com/tnaold.html

Extractions: Robert Bransfield, M.D. Objective: A structured clinical interview is proposed to assist in the overall clinical assessment when late state Lyme disease is suspected. Method: Results: An analysis of symptoms acquired from a thorough history and mental status exam can be quite helpful towards the total clinical assessment when suspecting late stage Lyme disease. Details are provided in the text of this article. Conclusion: When NPLD is a diagnostic possibility, a detailed, well-focused interview and mental status exam is proposed, and a database of symptoms seen in NPLD is established. It is recommended to continue perfecting the assessment as well as expanding the database. If diagnostic accuracy is improved, there would be better consensus regarding treatment strategies. Objective There are many unanswered questions regarding chronic Lyme disease. They remain unanswered as a result of our inability to accurately diagnose the presence or absence of the causative agent B. burgdorferi. The usual laboratory tests alone are not totally reliable to confirm or refute the diagnosis of Lyme disease (1). When we combine the current laboratory tests with a very thorough history, physical, and mental status exam, the accuracy of diagnosis is greatly increased. If we can improve the accuracy of diagnosing the presence of Lyme disease, there would then be more agreement regarding treatment guidelines. In an effort to improve diagnostic accuracy, I have developed a psychiatric diagnostic and tracking system.

Adult ticks are about the size of a small apple seed. "It's the perfect stealth bacteria," says one frustrated physician. He's talking about Borrelia burgdorferi , the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. This illness, which is often mistaken for diseases ranging from multiple sclerosis to Lupus, can inflict excruciating headaches and muscle pain, affect the brain and nervous system, attack major organs, and inflame joints. Although there have been more than 100,000 reports of the tick-borne Lyme disease in the U.S. since 1982, researchers are still struggling to create vaccines and treatments that are effective against B. burgdorferi
