IDSA's Donald Poretz writes
a outrageously false Letter to the Editor (yet another "bogus article") of the
Hartford Courant, which we are keeping, as well as the Comments.
The letter by Poretz is at the bottom of this page, after the Comments.
Poretz and others in IDSA
(including Gary Wormser) attempt to defraud the public into thinking Richard
Blumenthal is going after them re fraudulent drug company arrangements as if
it is as regards treatment, when it is about spinning the diseases to suit the
false positive outcomes of their own RICO patents.
Gary
Wormser is still being sued over the last OspA vaccine and he is now
consulting for Baxter over the next OspA vaccine:
The Best Defense is a Good
Offence: These guys are still pretending OspA was a vaccine in order
to get out their personal liabilities for not reporting adverse events in the
last OspA trials- the ESSENCE of the RICO crime, and which is exactly what I
told the FDA in Jan 2001: DICKSON_FDA_SUBMISSION_FULL.htm
LYMErix appears to be creating
a Lyme-like illness (immune suppression-related outcomes).
This overall RICO and
Scientific Fraud crime could be charged as individual crimes (False Claims Act
or Qui Tam) or as one comprehensive crime.
===========================
COMMENTS
"The Infectious Diseases Society of America's Lyme
disease guidelines recommend generic drugs and generic diagnostic tests. Panel
members had no financial interests that could have affected, or been affected
by, recommendations in the guidelines." ---
This is a totally false statement. There are still-outstanding lawsuits
against Gary Wormser over the last OspA trials, over which the diagnostic
standard for Lyme was changed in 1994 at the Dearborn, MI conference:
http://www.actionlyme.org/CRYMEDISEASE_CHP3_B...
The blood test definition of Lyme disease was changed from that of a Relapsing
Fever Borreliosis to a late arthritis in a knee by Allen Steere in Europe.
The new, 1994, false standard - leaving out almost all IgM antibodies, which
at one time was the marker of ongoing infection by none other than Allen
Steere and adopted by the CDC - only detects late Lyme arthritis in a knee,
presumably caused by a genetically-linked hypersensitivity reaction and not
found in the majority of the Caucasian population.
These crooks changed the definition of the disease to suit the false positive
outcomes of LYMErix and ImmuLyme and now they're doing it in self-defense of
lawsuits, since they threw out the vaccine failure data- the data which proves
that the New Great Imitator outcomes of Lyme disease are the same as LYMErix
disease- the immune suppression caused by the shed Osps:
http://www.actionlyme.org/BIOWEAPONEERS_CORIX...
These idiots are not getting away with this. In 2000, Gary Wormser published
an article explaining how LYMErix or ImmuLyme suppressed the immune system:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10865170...
Modulation of lymphocyte proliferative responses by a canine Lyme disease
vaccine of recombinant outer surface protein A (OspA).
Department of Medicine, New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY 10595, USA.
The modulation of human lymphocyte proliferative responses was demonstrated
with a recombinant outer surface protein A (OspA) vaccine preparation for the
prevention
of Borrelia burgdorferi infection.***After exposure to either the unaltered
vaccine preparation or OspA prepared in saline, normal lymphocyte responses to
the mitogens concanavalin A, phytohemagglutinin-M or pokeweed mitogen, or the
antigen BCG were consistently reduced.*** Whole cell extracts of B.
burgdorferi also modulated immune
responses but required a much greater quantity of protein than needed for the
OspA
preparation. The magnitude of modulation was directly dependent on the
quantity
of OspA.*** OspA interferes with the response of lymphocytes to proliferative
stimuli including a blocking of cell cycle phase progression.*** Future
studies designed to delete the particular region or component of the OspA
molecule responsible for this effect may lead to improved vaccine
preparations.
If these IDSA crooks have all published that Lyme is an incurable brain
disease, as you can see from the reports in that link, then we wonder how it
could be only a late arthritis in a knee that needs no antibiotic treatment.
Especially when all throughout history, all tick borne borrelia were
well-known to be permanent, incurable brain infections?
http://www.actionlyme.org/RICOCHRON.htm
The final reason the crooks caved was due to the showing of
the Tribeca Pick, "Under Our Skin," in which we all saw Yale's Eugene Shapiro
lying his face off about congenital Lyme:
http://www.actionlyme.org/Schoen.htm
on top of his perjury at the Dr. Charles Ray Jones Medical Board Harassment
"Trial," where he said he "never saw a case of neurologic Lyme."
OF COURSE NOT!! "Lyme Disease" now means late arthritis in a knee!!
Certain people suing them (IDSA) were FURIOUS, and in the end, IDSA caved to
avoid criminal charges, as anyone can see with their own eyeballs, since
clearly that's what IDSA's agreement was about with AG Blumenthal; they did
not want criminal charges filed against them for homicide:

"The ability of the borrelia, especially tick-borne strains to persist in
the brain and in the eye after treatment with arsenic or with penicillin or
even after apparent cure is well known (1). The persistence of treponemes
after treatment of syphilis is a major area which currently requires
additional study (3,5,10,11).-Jay Sanford, US Military Hospital, Bethesda
(this textbook was edited by Russell Johnson who was a member of the board
of the ALDF.com)
In 1998, before the FDA even approved LYMErix, Yale's Robert Schoen (see the
top right of this scanned in image) says: Blood testing on a vaccinated person
will need to be sent to a lab who tests for Lyme without the OspA and B
plasmid, because A-B renders the blots unreadable. Yale knew this in 1995, but
they never told the FDA that they had no way to tell whether or not LYMErix
prevented Lyme. See the Persing patent in the RICO YouTube movie or here: The
Central RICO Patents.
This same racketeering crime is also described here in an Aug 2005 complaint
to Homeland Stupidity Michael Jerkoff:
http://www.actionlyme.org/LYME_CORRUPTICUT.ht...
THEY WOULD HAVE TESTED NEGATIVE and gone on to die as a result of IDSA's
Yale's and Allen Steere's scientific fraud.
And surely die they do, since IDSA is clearly hysterical about this lawsuit,
which clearly could turn into something worse for them, like homicide charges.
Or, "Lyme Disease (the real kind, not the Dearborn/Steere kind), and LYMErix
disease, are the same immune suppression-related disease outcomes."
But it all sure don't mean we're CRAZY, as IDSA has asserted:
http://www.actionlyme.org/BIOMARKERS.htm
because they are the ones who also found out HOW SICK WE ARE by reporting all
the biomarkers of disease, themselves.
So, that is "SCIENTIFIC FRAUD WITH INTENT TO CAUSE HARM," because they clearly
know we're not all crazy, although it surely is crazy for psychiatrists not to
step forward and say:
"It isn't *possible* for 79% of Mark Klempner's Neurologic Lyme victims to
have the matrix-metalloproteinase marker of brain and nerve degradation, 130,
and it all be due to hysteria or hypochondria."
http://www.actionlyme.org/Retro_Klempnerizati...
Despising scientific facts and scientific reasoning and instead preferring
theories about the power of orgasms over organisms is the very nature of
psychosis.
Notice who approved of the Dressler/Steere criteria, Steere (Yale is a patent
holder), Barbour (a patent holder for the same type of rOspA vaccine), DOUBLE
-OH- MCSWEEGAN, Weinstein (BullShip "Validator"), Dattwyler, Barbara Johnson,
who here also says, not to use G39/40, which was the very strain Steere used
in Dressler/Steere and became the CDC's IgG standard.
Specificity means the degree to which only burgdorferi will produce these
antigens. Each band is as accurate for diagnosis as its assigned specificity.
That means if you have an antibody band that is 90% specific, you have a 90%
chance of having Lyme).
NOTICE WHO APPROVED (below), yet none of the invited labs AGREED with Steere's
criteria for diagnosing Lyme. That is critical to the RICO.
Barbara Johnson of the CDC recommends strains B31, 297, and 2591, but
Dressler/Steere was from G39/40. G 39/40 did not perform as well as the others
<scratches head>
The people who stood to profit from spinning bogus vaccines, approved the
bogus standard to qualify these vaccines.
Conflict of Interest?
==============================
Allen Steere says:
http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/full/121/8/... "Patient 12 had had high
fever, meningeal symptoms, and subsequent arthritis in 1982. She was noted to
have a positive serologic test result for Lyme disease 4 years later and was
treated with 2 weeks of parenteral penicillin. She later developed a
progressive speech disorder, bradykinesia, and abnormal ocular motor function.
Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed scattered white matter lesions
in the hemispheres and pons, and she was diagnosed with supranuclear palsy.
Lumbar puncture showed no selective concentration of antibody in the spinal
fluid. Nevertheless, she was re-treated with 2 weeks of parenteral ceftriaxone
in 1989 that had no effect on her neurologic symptoms. During the time of
observation, this patient died. At autopsy, lymphoid mononuclear cells were
observed surrounding the intracerebral vessels in one section.*** Using
Dieterle silver stain, a spirochete was present in the cortex and another was
exterior to a leptomeningeal vessel."***
(One of Steere's multiply treated patients died anyway with spirochetes in her
brain.)
===============================
Mark Klempner says: "Fibroblasts protected B. burgdorferi
for at least 14 days of exposure to ceftriaxone. Mouse keratinocytes, HEp-2
cells, and Vero cells but not Caco-2 cells showed the same protective
effect.*** Thus, several eukaryotic cell types provide the Lyme disease
spirochete with a protective environment contributing to its long-term
survival." ***
3) "The chronic forms of the disease such as arthritis
(joint involvement), acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (skin involvement),
and Bannwart's syndrome (neurological involvement) may last for months to
years and are associated with the persistence of the spirochete. A case of
maternal-fetal transmission of B. burgdorferi resulting in neonatal death has
been reported. Domestic animals such as the dog also develop arthritis and
lameness to this tick-borne infection. For every symptomatic infection, there
is at least one asymptomatic infection. Lyme disease is presently the most
commonly reported tick-borne disease in the United States." -- Russell
Johnson, in the first patent for a Lyme vaccine
The patent also says:
"The infection may be treated at any time with antibiotics such as penicillin,
erythromycin, tetracycline, and ceftriaxone.*** Once infection has occurred,
however, the drugs may not purge the host of the spirochete but may only act
to control the chronic forms of the disease. Complications such as arthritis
and fatigue may continue for several years after diagnosis and treatment."***
14) "...the specter of asymptomatic infection is something
that troubles me a great deal and troubles a great number of my colleagues who
need to treat Lyme disease. The obvious analogy with syphilis infection with
Treponema pallidum is there to consider. It is well known that Borrelia
burgdorferi indeed after asymptomatic infection can lurk or secrete itself in
certain areas of the body, perhaps the central nervous system or perhaps the
joint spaces, only to reappear months or maybe years later in the form of late
stages of illness which are harder to diagnosis and treat."
--East Slyme's Vijay Sikand to the FDA Vaccine Committee in 1998, when trying
to scare us about how serious Lyme disease is:
http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/98/transc...
"Harder to diagnose and treat?" I thought Lyme was "easily diagnosed and
cured?"
15) The combined National Institutes say:--
http://intramural.nimh.nih.gov/inip/call4prop... "8. Infectious diseases
of the CNS mediated through immune mechanisms, including acute and chronic
Lyme disease and neuroAIDS;"

Lyme as a knee-only autoimmune disease that requires no
antibiotic treatment, by Brookhaven (Departments of Energy and Defense):
"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.
-------
Because also, according to Yale, the brain is either the knee or Mr. Peanut:
http://www.actionlyme.org/PENIS_MATTERS_101.h...
and the brain is "a complicating variable, which should be thrown out."
Thanks.
Clearly Yale threw all of their own brains out, but I'll keep mine, thanks,
because otherwise I would not be laughing so hard.

In vivo activities of ceftriaxone and vancomycin against Borrelia spp. in the
mouse brain and other sites.
Kazragis RJ, Dever LL, Jorgensen JH, Barbour AG [ <-- CDC "officer" owner of
the ImmuLyme patent, over which Gary Wormser is still being sued]
Department of Medicine (Infectious Diseases), University of Texas Health
Science Center at San Antonio 78284, USA.
Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, and B. turicatae, a
neurotropic agent of relapsing fever, are susceptible to vancomycin in vitro,
with an MIC of 0.5 microgram/ml. To determine the activity of vancomycin in
vivo, particularly in the brain, we infected adult immunocompetent BALB/c and
immunodeficient CB-17 scid mice with B. burgdorferi or B. turicatae. The mice
were then treated with vancomycin, ceftriaxone as a positive control, or
normal saline as a negative control. The effectiveness of treatment was
assessed by cultures of blood and brain and other tissues. Ceftriaxone at a
dose of 25 mg/kg of body weight administered every 12 h for 7 to 10 days
eliminated cultivable B. burgdorferi or B. turicatae from all BALB/c or scid
mice in the study. Vancomycin at 30 mg/kg administered every 12 h was
effective in eliminating infection from immunodeficient mice if treatment was
started within 3 days of the onset of infection. If treatment with vancomycin
was delayed for 7 days or more, vancomycin failed to eradicate infection with
B. burgdorferi or B. turicatae from immunodeficient mice.*** The failure of
vancomycin in eradicating established infections in immunodeficient mice was
associated with the persistence of viable spirochetes in the brain during
antibiotic treatment.***

Invasion of human neuronal and glial cells by an infectious strain of Borrelia
burgdorferi.
Livengood JA, Gilmore RD Jr.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of Vector-borne
Infectious Diseases, 3150 Rampart Road, CSU Foothills Campus, Fort Collins, CO
80522, USA.
Human infection by Borrelia burgdorferi, the etiological agent for Lyme
disease, can result in serious acute and late-term disorders including
neuroborreliosis,*** a degenerative condition of the peripheral and central
nervous systems.*** To examine the mechanisms involved in the cellular
pathogenesis of neuroborreliosis,***we investigated the ability of B.
burgdorferi to attach to and/or invade a panel of human neuroglial and
cortical neuronal cells. In all neural cells tested, we observed B.
burgdorferi in association with the cell by confocal microscopy. Further
analysis by differential immunofluorescent staining of external and internal
organisms, and a gentamicin protection assay demonstrated an intracellular
localization of B. burgdorferi.*** A non-infectious strain of B. burgdorferi
was attenuated in its ability to associate with these neural cells, suggesting
that a specific borrelial factor related to cellular infectivity was
responsible for the association. Cytopathic effects were not observed
following infection of these cell lines with B. burgdorferi, and internalized
spirochetes were found to be viable. Invasion of neural cells by B.
burgdorferi provides a putative mechanism for the organism to avoid the host's
immune response while potentially causing functional damage to neural cells
during infection of the CNS.
This of course means the CDC is delusional and should be medicated.
IDSA tells us Lyme is a knee disease that does not need antibiotics. I hope
these CDC officers don't get charged with being "dangerously intelligent
Unibomber chemists."
You see, all along it was DMHAS's perjurer Kenneth Marcus who was so stupid

The purpose of this investigation was to use molecular and immunological
techniques to determine whether oral Treponema infected the human brain.
Pieces of frontal lobe cortex from 34 subjects were analyzed with
species-specific PCR and monoclonal antibodies.*** PCR detected Treponema in
14/16 Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 4/18 non-AD donors (P < 0.001), and AD
specimens had more Treponema species than controls (P < 0.001).*** PCR also
detected Treponema in trigeminal ganglia from three AD and two control donors.
Cortex from 15/16 AD subjects and 6/18 controls contained Treponema
pectinovorum and/or Treponema socranskii species-specific antigens (P < 0.01).
T. pectinovorum and/or T. socranskii antigens were also found in trigeminal
ganglia and pons from four embalmed cadavers, and 2/4 cadavers also had
Treponema in the hippocampus. These findings suggest that oral Treponema may
infect the brain via branches of the trigeminal nerve.

Dear Hartford Courant, please read the web site
www.lymecryme.com and also see the $20,000 reward.
============================
They have spun a web of fraud and deceit about the disease
at the CDC’s Dearborn, MI, Conference in 1994.
.
It is very important for all of us to understand what transpired at the
Dearborn Conference.
.
For Gary Wormser to report in the IDSA Guidelines that one has to have a
positive test for Lyme means he has published scientific fraud. Similarly, the
CDC says their testing for Lyme is “valid,” when it is hardly valid, if only
15% of the cases of Lyme are identified by the Steere IgG panel.
.
By showing the data at The Dearborn Conference it should make the reader
understand the deceit and fraud that has been committed against mankind. It is
not only inexcusable but so evil in its intent to destroy so many lives. One
could only wonder if at one time they were good upstanding men and women, or
just always driven by money, greed and power, not caring who they have hurt or
destroyed in their wake.
.
Yale, Alan Barbour (a CDC officer) et al, are the owners of many patents on
Lyme, and other methods of detection here in the U.S and abroad. Yale owns a
patent for a scientifically valid Lyme test, but will not let anyone use it.
How can someone own a patent on a disease or method of detecting a disease?
This is truly a conflict of interest. The very same people who are defining
the diseases hold patents to make profits off of the sick by the selling of
test kits. Why would they want us to get better when they can make more money
off the sick and ailing?
.
The Blumenthal antitrust has opened the eyes of many. Some activists have been
put into place by higher echelons to divide the Lyme community and keep them
occupied with other trivial matters. Bills were written to fail by some
activist groups to keep the diversion alive. Keeping the minion active doing
trivial things is a tactic used by governments worldwide.
.
In the antitrust, it simply asked the IDSA to disclose their organizational
paperwork. For two years, it went unanswered. Instead of disclosing their
financial and vested interests, the IDSA chose to revamp their staunch 2006
guidelines. If they stood fast beside their own guidelines, why redo them? If
they had nothing to protect, then why did they not just simply disclose this
information? Even though they have not had one omission of guilt spring from
their camp, revamping the guidelines says it all.
.
Now it is very well known, the scientific fraud and intent to do harm they
have deployed on us. As victims of their abuse, we can now seek retribution.
.
Please see
http://www.lymecryme.com , for “in their own data” lies the truth.
==============================
So, Dr. Poretz, the best the Infectious Diseases Society has
to offer is actually to do nothing at all for Lyme victims. Can't you and your
colleagues understand that one round of antibiotics only kills SOME of the
bacteria, not all. It reproduces and the victim becomes ill over and over. We
are under no assumption that we will be cured from this dreadful disease, but
antibiotics are the only RELIEF we can obtain. Talk therapy and painkillers
are not going to bring us wellness, nor is denial of our relapsing illness.
The IDSA philosophy is "too bad, so sad" to all Lyme victims who don't get
well with one course of antibiotics. And that's why we're angry.
==============================
As a Person who has late stage Lyme disease and undergone
treatment. I know first hand that a small amount of antibiotic's do not
finnish the job
I know that only when I was Given 57 day's of IV Rocephen 2 gm's a day did I
finnaly see a change in my condition that was the turning point .
I also have seen many other's have the same change under the same condition's
I can only come to the same conclustion that many other lyme disease people
have come to from first hand Knowedge
That Lyme Disease takes at least 57 days of IV Rocephen at 2 gr's a day to
cure or stop the spread of Infection .
This is First hand Knowedge over and over again. if it was not first hand
knowedge from people who have the disease it would not carry the weight it
does .
I know that it work's and I also know that 30 days of Doxycyclin will not and
that's first hand also so they can do what they want to with there guidline's
as they have never had lyme disease and anything they say is second hand at
best you deciede for yourself but if I was going to make a choice for someone
I love and care for I would only take first hand information because second
hand is never the best

========================================
According to AG Blumenthal, "IDSA's 2006 Lyme disease
guideline panel undercut its credibility by allowing individuals with
financial interests -- in drug companies, Lyme disease diagnostic tests,
patents and consulting arrangements with insurance companies -- to exclude
divergent medical evidence and opinion.” And the resulting IDSA guidelines
represent "the best medical science has to offer patients with Lyme disease"?
Those patients will continue to suffer as long as the tainted IDSA Lyme
guidelines remain in place, and as long as Dr. Poretz continues to defend the
blatant conflicts of interest within his organization.
We're very, very tricky Cultists.
We even organized that conference in 1992, of course, through the time-warp.
And we don't only just attack the bad guys. Once in a while, in particular
at that same 1992 Cold Spring Harbor Conference, we tricked probably the
world's *top* pathologist, Paul Duray (works at Ft. Detrick for the Army and
the National Cancer Institute because viruses cause cancer), into reporting
that chronic Lyme results in what looks like Epstein-Barr transformed or
mutated lymphocytes:
http://www.actionlyme.org/Duray.htm
The world may wonder how we were all able to organize this internet cult
telekinetic trickery through the internet before there was an internet, but
then, that's the thing about people with magical abilities.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
*Never**mess* with Lyme Internet Cult people due to our abundant
supernatural powers. We will force you to decompensate, grovel, squirm,
tremble, lie in a Courant Letter to the Idiotor, and puup your pants, like a
sniveling waterboardee... like Donald Poretz.
The IDSA panel members and their colleagues actually end
up making MORE revenue by denying proper treatment of lyme disease. The drug
companies also make out very well. When lyme is left untreated or is treated
minimally, it is my understanding that it is the germs which are left over,
which have not been killed, which become antibiotic resistant.
If long term treatment is needed for specific patients and they are denied
this treatment, they are then usually labeled with autoimmune disease or
other unclear diagnoses. How can it be said that if a patient is sick with
the same exact symptoms on the day after treatment has been stopped, that
they now have a completely different disease?
I mentioned above that more revenue is made once people become chronically
ill. They are shuffled from one specialist to another, many expensive tests
are ordered, antidepressants and scores of other drugs are now prescribed
for the many symptoms throughout the body...which the progressive stage of
Lyme disease causes. Why aren't the insurance companies demanding proper
long term treatment for lyme...when needed...especially with the much more
afforable ORAL antibiotics. Long term treatment for Lyme does not
automatically equate with IV antibiotics. Orals can work very well for many
people.
Where is the science that proves what the IDSA is saying....that Lyme is
cured after 3 weeks of antibiotics? Drug companies make much more money on
many symptomatic treatments rather than on ones which cure.Doctors also have
continued business. The testing companies are also happy. If a person is
cured or their disease process is arrested, you are no longer a good
customer of the drug company. Blumenthal said there were conflicts of
interest. I wonder if those had anything to do with the drug companies?
The IDSA needs to begin to address 1.the issues of pleomorphism 2. different
strains of the lyme spirochete which are NOT being tested for 3. the idea
that antibiotic resistance developes when an antibiotic is not used long
enough to **** of the germs and the remaining ones become resistent. 4 The
IDSA needs to address the MANY scientifuc reasons as to why patients can
test negative and still have a chronic relapsing infection.
5. How can the IDSA justify their position with all the clinical
evidence,the scientific evidence AND patient experience which points
directly to chronic infection?
We are not just going to take your word for it. Show us your proof.Lyme is
becoming a global scourge and millions of lives hinge upon your rash
statement that lyme is almost always cured within a month.
Where are the public debates? Why is the evidence that shows lyme is a
chronic relapsing brain infection being kept from the public and the medical
community? How can the IDSA totally discount the evidence of persistent
infrection...especially when they have no proof of their own for their claim
that lyme is not chronic or relapsing? Negative tests are not adequate proof
as testing is very unreliable.
The scientific community is studying the Lyme disease microbe as a potential
biowarfare agent.....as a disabling agent.This is an admitted fact. Are we
being denied treatment so that a biowarfare agent can be allowed to pass
quietly through the population? It has been stated in government biowarfare
documents that disabling agents are much more effective in bringing down a
country than are biological agents which kill. We have been told that
disabling agents also tie up others in the communities in caring for the
sick. Eventually, if allowed to spread untreated, this situation could cause
economic collapse.
If the "treatment" guidelines put out by the IDSA have the potential to
affect literally millions of lives....then I think we need to display the
evidence of both sides and then we can see where the real truth lies.

In a New England Journal of Medicine study, Drs. Dattwyler and John Halperin
(also of the IDSA) "studied 17 patients who had presented with acute Lyme
disease and received prompt treatment with oral antibiotics, but in whom
chronic Lyme disease subsequently developed."
These "chronic Lyme" patients tested negative on currently-available blood
tests: "Although these patients had clinically active disease, none had
diagnostic levels of antibodies to B. burgdorferi on either a standard
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or immunoflourescence assay. We conclude
that the presence of chronic Lyme disease cannot be excluded by the absence of
antibodies against B. burgdorferi and that a specific T-cell blastogenic
response to B. burgdorferi is evidence of infection in seronegative patients
with clinical indications of chronic Lyme disease."

responses to Borrelia burgdorferi.
the antigenic stimulus in Lyme arthritis would appear to be a small number of
live spirochetes, demonstrated here by monoclonal antibodies, which may
persist in the synovial lesion for years (p.494)".
Or as Dr. Steere, wrote in the New England Journal of Medicine (1990 Nov 22;
323(21):1438-44), "The likely reason for relapse is failure to eradicate the
spirochete ... This last article is one of many studies that show continuing
symptoms are most likely due to persistence of the spirochete [type of Lyme
bacteria]." Indeed, many articles have been published before AND since 1990
demonstrating the possible persistence of Lyme infection in antibiotic-treated
patients.
These studies have been written by members of the IDSA Lyme "team" and many
other reputable scientists. And they are among the 98% of available literature
on Lyme not cited in the IDSA’s newest treatment guidelines!

Having been the editor of a health related newspaper, and
having worked with many doctors with their research and clinical experience
with Lyme disease, I am just waiting for a main stream newspaper, or
investigative reporter to jump on the opportunity of a lifetime and make this
story known world wide.
This story is a Pulitzer opportunity if ever there was one!
Just as the story of the Tuskeegee Experiment broke in the 1970's, there is a
story about Lyme disease waiting to be exposed.
If the IDSA, et al; camp is so convinced their research can stand the test of
scrutiny and be upheld, why have they not given their emperical proof and
claimed the $20,000 reward offered by
www.lymecryme.com ? It is there for the taking for anyone who can PROVE
with imperical evidence that 3-4 weeks of antibiotic treatment will CURE Lyme
disease.
The IDSA has not made one step towards claiming that prize. One has to wonder
WHY?
They know full well their research, if given that much scrutiny, would only
result in criminal charges.
Where is the main stream journalist that will take this story by the horns and
make history with the story that is absolutely Pulitzer material!

If these doctors that are on the panel are confident that
one dose of antibiotic treatment is a cure, then why don't they infect
themselves with Lyme and any of the numerous co-infections. After all you, can
be cured with 14 days of antibiotics(according to them). Show us the proof!
Show us the commitment to your belief. Take one for the team!
Doctors have been giving out long term antibiotics for acne for years and no
one said boo.
I went to 30 doctors and eight years of hell before I was diagnosed. 99% of
those doctors had NO PROBLEM trying to give me anti-depressants, anti-anxiety
meds. They hand those meds out like PEZ. Talk about Standard of Care issues. I
of course would not take them, because I knew that my sickness was not in my
head. So, thank GOD I found a doctor who believed me and although I may not be
fully cured I am able to function on most days like a normal person and the
days having to lie my livingroom floor with my kids because I was so weak I
could not move, are in the past.
It took 2 years of Antibiotic Treatment to obtain that result and I am now
again on one month of antibiotics (given to me by my family doctor) because I
have tested positive on the Western Blot Test again Igm and Igg. The fight
goes on.
=========================================
I am utterly skeptical of the claims made by Dr. Poretz. It
is well known that those involved in the IDSA guidelines are also involved in
promoting or creating Lyme disease vaccine products, and have, or are
continuing to consult to pharmaceutical companies involved in Lyme disease
vaccines. In order to successfully conduct a Lyme disease vaccine trial, there
are certain assumptions that need to be written in stone within the medical
community --- for example,(1) that patients do not routinely receive, as a
standard of medical practice, antibiotic prophylaxis at the time of tick bite
(particularly in Lyme endemic areas); and (2) that there is an assumption that
no patient is asymptomatically infected or subclinically infected at the time
of inoculation with the potential Lyme disease vaccine (i.e., and that all
bacteria are easily and totally killed off at the time of infection). If these
assumptions, which are part of the guidelines, are not in place --- it would
not be possible to conduct new Lyme disease vaccine trials. All patients in
endemic areas (where Lyme disease vaccine trials would, of course, be
conducted) would be getting antibioitcs at the time of tick bite (abrogating
the need for a vaccine and making it as an intervnetion outside the accepted
medical standard of practice). And, speaking to the second point --- it would
be impossible to know how successful or unsuccessful a Lyme vaccine is if one
acknowledges the existence of chronic borreliosis infection if one is not
certain, in the first place, whether the vaccine subject is, or is not
infected..(Note: Borrelia burgdorferi is the organism that causes Lyme
disease. Lyme disease is also called "borreliosis.").
Dr. Poretz also does not mention that there are those on the IDSA guidelines
committee that hold patents on Lyme disease antigens, who could profit from
their patents being used as antigens in Lyme disease vaccines, or antibody
test kits through licensing to pharmaceutical companies. The universities
where these scientists made the patent would also financially benefit. This is
a way that some academic physicians have become enormously wealthy --- through
the licensing of their patents. For example, at one time, Yale Univeristy
projected it would make $10 million per year from the previous Lyme disease
vaccine (LYMErix), which was ultimately pulled from the market due to adverse
effects. Some lawsuits from the LYMErix debacle still have not reached
settlement ---- another conflict of interest, where changing the guidelines
could open up the risk of increased financial liability for the harms
associated with the first vaccine.
In my view, the issues surrounding a Lyme vaccine (past and future) is what
the fight is about. And this is why the "scientists" adamanatly do not want to
acknowledge the existence of chronic borreliosis (chronic Lyme disease)
despite evidence to the contrary. This has caused enormous suffering and
hardship to many individuals who are infected with this potentially devasting
disease.
In addition,.IDSA has continued to lobby against federally funded research
that would help bring to light the mechanisms of chronic infection, and what
interventions might ultimately be offered to chornically sick patients. It is
unusual ot see a medical society fight against scientific progress concerning
a major disease.
We salute Connecticut Attorney General Blumenthal and his staff for the
intervention they have made in trying to halt this travesty.
The IDSA letter does not sound like good fatih to me and I
know a lot about good faith.
When I had a tick bite, bulls-eye rash at bite site and emergent symptoms,
positive tests for Lyme and HME Ehrlichiosis with my local PCP I had good
faith that I would be taken care of, but my treatment was terminated after a
mere 30 days because of the IDSA MDs. I was allowed to deteriorate for a full
year during which time my local physicians watched in bewilderment as I
accumulated acronyms- CFS, FMS, TMJ, MCS, IBS, RLS- and finally, "a
progressive multi-system neurological disease triggered by post Lyme
Syndrome." Thank god I lost faith.
Thank god I lost faith in my local doctors and found a Lyme doctor who treated
me with IV Rocephin and saved my life. By that time I was incontinent, had a
movement disorder called chorea with athetosis and was getting progressively
weaker and slurred when I spoke. Longterm Lyme treatment restored my health
and took away EVERY SINGLE symptom. It gave me back LIFE.
Good faith from the IDSA?
In the 9 years since I have been better I have facilitated the support group
in the #1 hotspot in CA, where a 2003 study found 18% infection rates of Lyme
in adult ticks,
and in all those years I have helped over 350 people locate appropriate
resources- including doctors that have good faith they can get better, not, as
my local doctors told me,
have all the painkillers I wanted! No, that is not what I wanted. I wanted no
pain- and thanks to the ILADS guidelines, I have no pain when I had been in
chronic agony for 2+ years by the time I found my good doctor.
And of those 350 people, only those who had JUST been bitten were ever helped
with short courses of antibiotics- everyone else needed longterm.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
No Conflict of Interest
May 14, 2008
I agree with Dr. Poretz that “it is vital to make sure the information
provided to readers is accurate.” Therefore, let us utilize the facts and
correct the misleading and false statements made by Dr. Poretz in his letter
to the Courant and his letter objecting to Senate Bill 1708. The CT Attorney
General’s May 1, 2008 press release specifically stated,“The IDSA’s 2006 Lyme
disease guideline panel undercut its credibility by allowing individuals with
financial interests – in drug companies, Lyme disease diagnostic tests,
patents and consulting arrangements with insurance companies – to exclude
divergent medical evidence and opinion.”
www.ct.gov/ag/cwp/view.asp... Extraordinarily, such medical evidence and
opinion consisted of their own published research, notably, research published
by IDSA guideline authors Steere, Dattwyler and Klempner. Contrary to these
IDSA authors’ published research, the IDSA panel acknowledge only the
existence of acute Lyme infection and deny the findings of their research
documenting persistent B. burgdorferi infection.
www.lymecryme.com Dr. Poretz sidestepped the incriminating evidence
obtained by AG Richard Blumenthal’s antitrust investigation. Dr. Poretz did so
by portraying the panel members as Lyme disease martyrs through their
sacrificial denial of revenue generated from long-term antibiotic therapy.
When the IDSA and its panel publicly disclose all the financial conflicts of
interest with their ties to the insurance industry, pharmaceutical development
of Lyme vaccines, Lyme test kits marketed worldwide, biowarfare lab positions,
and patents shared with key Lyme disease decision-makers at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the “public’s confidence in medicine and
the integrity of their physicians” may begin to be restored. In his 03-21-08
IDSA letter to Sen. Kennedy, Dr. Poretz said,“The premise for prolonged
antibiotic therapy for Lyme disease is the notion that some spirochetes can
persist despite conventional treatment courses, thereby giving rise to the
vague symptoms ascribed to chronic Lyme disease. Not only is this assertion
microbiologically implausible, there are no convincing published scientific
data that support the existence of chronic Lyme disease.” I emphasize the fact
that Dr. Poretz chooses to ignore not only the research published by IDSA Lyme
disease guideline authors, but research published by the CDC in 2006:…”The
observation of viable spirochetes within fibroblasts coupled to protection of
B. burgdorferi from extracellular microbicidal antibiotics by fibroblasts [19]
suggests that B. burgdorferi may be among the small number of bacteria that
can cause chronic infection by localizing within host cells where they remain
sequestered from some antimicrobial agents and the host humoral immune
response.”
www.leaparizona.com/Invasion_of_Human_neurona... Another fact is that,
despite continuous research funds granted to IDSA Lyme guideline authors,
these “preeminent and well-respected” researchers have failed to provide Lyme
patients and their treating physicians with viable diagnostic/treatment
therapies that could improve clinical outcome. The fact is that insurance
companies and the majority of ID physicians in the U.S. and Europe utilize the
IDSA guidelines to deny diagnosis and treatment to patients. The CDC, through
its biased promotion of the IDSA guidelines on its website, has partnered with
the IDSA and guideline authors in controlling the disease and preventing
treatment. Lyme patients do not look to the IDSA or the CDC for reputable
medical information; that public trust was betrayed years ago. Patients refuse
to be sacrificed on the altar for the personal financial benefit of the IDSA
guideline authors and CDC employees under the guise of preventing antibiotic
resistance.

I'm disappointed and very concerned with the May 7
editorial "Conflicts Taint Science."
Although The Courant has the right to state its opinion, it is vital to make
sure the information provided to readers is accurate.
The Vioxx case and others have generated a climate that makes it easy to
believe conflicts of interest in medicine are ubiquitous. But when these
conflicts do not exist, such accusations serve only to wrongly undermine the
public's confidence in medicine and the integrity of their physicians. The
Infectious Diseases Society of America's Lyme disease guidelines recommend
generic drugs and generic diagnostic tests. Panel members had no financial
interests that could have affected, or been affected by, recommendations in
the guidelines. In fact, by recommending against expensive, repeated,
long-term antibiotic therapy, the panel members denied themselves and their
colleagues an opportunity to generate a significant amount of revenue.
Furthermore, our panel members and the guidelines passed a stringent review
process before the guidelines were published.
We greatly appreciate The Courant's understanding that the medical evidence
does not support long-term antibiotic therapy. The panel took extra steps to
consider information provided by other organizations and individuals to
ensure the guidelines were relevant, accurate and balanced. The
recommendations reflect the preponderance of evidence that the risks of
long-term antibiotic therapy — including adverse reactions, infections and
the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria — far outweigh the unproven
benefits. And we are pleased that, by reaching an agreement with state
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, the controversy will remain in a
medical forum where it belongs, and not in a courtroom.
Following the agreement, the Infectious Diseases Society's Lyme disease
guidelines remain in place and still represent the best medical science has
to offer patients with Lyme disease. Our top priority is to ensure that
patients diagnosed with Lyme disease get medical treatment that will make
them well.
We voluntarily agreed to a singular review of our 2006 Lyme disease
guidelines by an independent panel of physicians and scientists because we
hope an independent review will put the controversy to rest. We are
confident our medical recommendations will be upheld.
Donald Poretz, M.D.
President Infectious Diseases Society of America Arlington, Va.
As we Lyme warriors cannot engage any earthly assistance;
As the entire US medical community chooses not to assist sick and
abused people and put a stop to this;
As there is not one MD or group in the entire USA who will take these
criminals to court;
As there is not one lawyer or Department of Justice official who will do the
job they were hired to do and protect us from corporate crime;
As there are no men left among us:
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God - cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits, who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
