FW:Lawmakers Must Act To Stem Lyme Spread

[Guest guest]

HOW DID TICKS BECOME LOADED WITH SO MANY PATHOGENS?

Posted By: Daystar <Send E-Mail>Date: Sunday, 28 August 2005, 4:32 p.m.

Tick borne diseases are currently one of the greatest threats to health on this planet. Within the past ten years science has discovered a multitude of microbes passed on to humans by ticks, fleas, mites, different types of flies, etc. One would think that the government researchers would be smarter than the lay person and would know to test chronically ill patients for this growing number of pathogens. Really, this type of testing needs to be included in routine blood testing....but it is not and it seems as if it is being intentionally left out. Government researchers are not that ignorant or stupid. The only conclusions I can come up with is that they are intentionaly allowing these epidemics to spread...whether for financial gain, population reduction or both. The following is an article which is speaking out to the lyme issue. Chronic Lyme disease is no longer considered just an infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. It is a complex condition involving many coininfections. It appears to me that ticks are deliberately being infected with many...perhaps genetically engineered microbes.

Lawmakers must act to stem Lyme spread

Are tick-borne diseases the new AIDS? Government latency to the problem has allowed Lyme disease to spread all over the United States, and may lead to the next pandemic. Shame on our legislators who pale in the wake of our Connecticut neighbors who addressed this problem first and foremost, whilst the Hudson Valley may become No. 1 in tick infections.

Doctors' hands are tied by health insurers causing sufferers who don't get swift and comprehensive treatment to become a chronic statistic.

Ticks now carry Bartonella, babesia, ehrlichiosis and other blood infections.

The Centers for Disease Control's outdated and inaccurate information has created a black hole for doctors, insurance companies and patients. Mid-Hudson physicians are misinformed or arrogant about Lyme. I can't tally those I know who have been misdiagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, fibromyalgia, arthritis, heart attacks, etc., when it's Lyme.

Tick infections are being spread through sexual contact and blood transfusions, mosquitoes and other arthropods. And the medical community is still arguing about acute versus chronic Lyme.

I am optimistic, but not holding my breath, that our leaders will appropriate money appropriately should the Lyme Act of 2005 pass. Legislators would be sage to stop witch-hunting Lyme literate doctors and engage them for their knowledge of tick diseases.

If they were going to reduce the population they would do it in

overcrowded areas like the third world, where people wouldn't even be

able to write a letter of protest.

However, they ARE ignoring the epidemic.
