I'm sure it's me. :( I don't remember this WB piece either. I will keep trying. I'm in the US, and I've seen sciihub stuff before. I don't know....
This is 100% spot-on! They are so similar in symptoms, but how you get from point a to b is reversed. They broadened the route to ME/CFS and...
@chrisb, I cannot seem to access it. I'm sure I am doing something wrong. Abstract reads oddly personal. Looking forward to reading the entire thing.
I was trying, for accuracy's sake, to find that quote from Weintraub. I could not find it - her book is long - but I did find an interesting...
People were getting sick in that area - around Lyme - as early as the late 60's, if I'm not mistaken. It's not like they even had a handle on...
History.
The reason the cause matters is that proper treatment is predicated on the correct cause. You are correct, though - they may have it right. They...
This is an assumption. I think what they have demonstrated suggests Bb PG can cause an antibody response that is peculiar to Bb. I'm ok with...

@wigglethemouse and @rvallee , this has been part of the conventional Lyme narrative since circa 1990. The "small but significant number of...
Yes, in privileged sites like brain tissue, heart muscles, tendons, lymph nodes, biofilms, etc - things that would involve invasive procedures to...
@rvallee, a lot to unpack in your questions, but the short answer is Yes, if you are asking in general. Let me see if I can get my hands and...
No, that is inaccurate. Many dispute that. Northeastern University's Kim Lewis, Tulane's Monica Embers, Johns Hopkins' Zhang... Many more. These...
Just a short note of explanation to any who might wonder. A problem within the Lyme community is that frequently only overt signs are given any...
:thumbup: Some of my favorite people.... If it ain't the knees or facial palsy, it ain't there. And even when it is, it's likely nonviable...
Is this the Allen Steere thing? I cannot access the article/study. I'm thinking this is Allen Steere's umpteenth attempt at trying to prove it...
My unscientific rule of thumb is tone. Measured responses that stick to science and avoid circular reasoning, I give these folk some respect,...
Separate names with a comma.
