My understanding is the NIH is channeling $3 Billion into its new Interdisciplinary Hedonism Division. It has high hopes it will cure pretty much...
I have come to realize many doctors are entitled pricks who resent the oafish patients they must endure and tend to, resent the reduced pay they...
No chance they meant Civil Scourge?
LOL. Rheumatologists and infectious diseases are not necessarily a marriage made in Heaven. Perhaps more to the point, was a govt EIS rep the...
This was organized and conducted over at least two decades. DOD would have vested interests. There'd be cross-elastic benefits from participation...
The deliberate mischaracterization of the typical late stage Lyme patient suggests to me that some people know. To be sure, not many. But someone...
Too late for a large swath of the late stage Lyme community, which received that broad brush stroke characterization by a former senior NIH peep...
@chrisb, don't know if you've seen this 1980 letter from Allen Steere to WB about Rickettsia testing in Lyme patients....

I am familiar with his name. This is not the first time I have come across it. That's the best I can do, though. As for his piece, I don't think...
We knew this was coming. This is only the second I'm aware of in five or so months, though. I don't think his attack is very good. It's actually...
In the end, he says very little here, at least definitively. All he has done is open up a whole batch of hypotheticals. Let's see: 1)Could be that...
Nonetheless, there are plenty of known bugs that can defy conventional methods of detection, that in effect, act in stealth mode. And that's just...
I don't think they are talking trigger at all. I think they are speculating about an active infection, one that years ago caused outbreaks, but is...
Don't let it be. If it is circular, keep in mind what goes around comes around. This talk of infectious eatiology also early on took hold with MS....
