Let's not forget he helped many patients reach their disability pensions. That he helped validate their disease when other clinicians, and...
Yes, the CDC is backing this initiative, ostensibly to spare the common physician the complexities of the Western Blot. Also ostensibly, to save...
You've made impressive headway with this, @chrisb. I am not well enough at the moment to try to dig thru the book, but what I seem to remember...
Evidently the C6 test - the Lyme test of choice in the UK - may not distinguish between Lyme and B. Miyamotoi....
NHS, last I checked, employs a C6 to test for Lyme. This study suggests a diifferent interpretation needs to be at least considered if a positive...
A long read, but a fair attempt at a balanced shaping of the contemporary Lyme controversy - from the perspective of a hapless Lyme (maybe)...
Self-Management Technologies? Like on the The Jetsons? Well, that flying car is pretty cool, and all the robots would be helpful, but my heart...
That would not hold true necessarily in the US. I cannot speak for the UK - personally I am a fan of the C6, but too many question the voracity of...
I agree with most of that you have written, @Robert 1973 , but I just wanted to address this part of your post. This false negative being alluded...
Essentially? The ELISA is notoriously suspect diagnostically. If she was limited to acute Bb then she would by definition not be familiar with...
Not that I am aware. Agreed. Representative Chris Smith's legislation may be a step in that direction, but I'm not counting on much coming from...
Nemotodes. Over the years, investigators other than the EIS and their disciples tried to independently nail down what was making people sick....
Or a nonfiction expose. The i dammini screw-up was just, imo, emblematic of the obscene nexus of missteps and outright mistakes that characterize...
I wonder if his paths ever crossed with Erich Traub. Writings and musings of WB seem to suggest he was a little taken aback at seeing the...
Still more indirect methods, at the expense, potentially, of the western blot - and knowing about the specifics of your WB can help reduce the...
Maybe. I would not underestimate the impact levied by news of the new IDSA Lyme Guidelines draft release in the US. Most UK Lyme strategy, at...
Well, let's see...The CDC, the IDSA, the NIH, the ALDF. Off the top of my head. :) SMC? In the US for those who embrace the Post Treatment Lyme...
Now that made me chuckle. :) I am not asymptomatic. But I think many who continue to test positive may be. That's just speculation though. And a...
Maybe you are right. Not sure where asymptomatic would fall, but your idea has a lot of merit. How do you factor in when it resists treatment?
Here's another question, @richie : you know the theory that says once infected you may always test positive? What if the reason you always test...
