Lyme Rural Suburban and Worldwide

[Guest guest]

Hi there...you asked why I disagreed, and then posted that I didn't

really care. Sometimes I just respond quickly to a post, what I was

trying to say is I'm not interested enough to go read studies, and in

fact, my quick and dirty assessment which could be wrong is that the

epidemiology or study design was poor or outdated to draw such

conclusions.

In regards to arthritic vs neurological, I think lyme as we know it

today is mainly neurological. By that I mean, there may be some milder

strains, but the stuff that makes people ill disseminates into the

CNS. Yes you do need abx treatment but just fyi high dose amoxicillin

(oral) is cheap and effective, 3-6-10 grams a day if you tolerate abx

well (which I don't.)

The study was the CDC's latest findings in their CFIDS study in

Wichita, KS. They found that CFIDS is twice as common in rural areas

than urban. I do not know if the suburbs were considered rural or not.

They are currently moving the study to Atlanta, GA. Should be

interesting, as the CDC insists that stari in the south is a three

week illness that people just recover from. Somehow no one told my

family that in South Carolina. But understand that the study never

evaluated whether any of these CFIDS patients were infected with

anything. I just found it curious that CFIDS-like symptoms are twice

as common in rural areas - very curious. I wish MDs such as Enlander

and Cheney would begin doing extensive testing for borrelia on all

cfids and fms patients.

Yes me too me too me too (test for borrelia).

The CDC, Stari, and Masters is just a travesty. A total travesty.

Let's not talk about the CDC's malfeasance...but kudos to Masters.
