Guest guest Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 "Lyme disease sufferers deserve right to health"I agree but they have the right to good science to support the treatments that improve health (we hope) their health. This should be VERY easy to demonstrate if done properly.What I don't understand is why it has not been done properly. The suffers should insist on proper studies.CE Grim MDSorry, I forgot the link.http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20100808%2FGJOPINION_0102%2F708089948%2F-1%2FFOSOPINION From: hyperaldosteronism [mailto:hyperaldosteronism ] On Behalf Of Valarie Francis, here is an article about your state & Lyme.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Problem with stories liks this is you don't get all the facts. I have no idea what the facts are.

I would find it hard to belive that Governor Lynch would go against his own party unless it was for a very good reason. Since he is a Democrat I would question this stament. Our Governor's legislative henchmen in the Senate buried HB 1326 with anti-democratic maneuvering. I would also find it hard that he would go against medical facts as his wife ia a Dr. > > > > > Sorry, I forgot the link. > > > > http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20100808%2FGJOPINION_0102%2F\ 708089948%2F-1%2FFOSOPINION > > > > > > > > > > > > From: hyperaldosteronism [mailto:hyperaldosteronism > > ] On Behalf Of Valarie > > > > > > Francis, here is an article about your state & Lyme.
