Is Your LLMD Safe......Dr. H

[Guest guest]

No, they are not. Currently, that is the unfortunate truth. Is it

inevitable? That will depend on several things. In the event you

are not familiar with the current targets of the OPMC, I'll give you

a brief update.

Here in the Northeast, we presently have 2 Lyme literate medical

doctors facing OPMC hearings. Their " crime " is that they continue to

treat people with Lyme disease. How and why this began is better

addressed from other sources (LDF website, and several individual

sites found in a general search for " Lyme disease " ). Suffice it to

say than anyone with this illness should familiarize themselves with

the background of this political battle. I am here to provide the

most recent information as it pertains to Dr. Horowitz, Dr. B., and

how this may affect your ability to receive medical treatment.

As you all know, Dr. B. is already engaged in the OPMC hearings

for " overdiagnosing and overtreating " Lyme disease. You probably

have also heard by now that Dr. R. Horowitz, after a two year

investigation, has also been charged and begins his hearings very

soon. He has lost his provider status with 2 major insurance

companies, because he will not stop treating Lyme patients as he

believes is medically necessary.

Why is this important to me? For several reason. The lesser reason

is that one is my physician. I know the hours, the effort, the

stress, the research and the resistance they have had to endure. But

that is only the beginning. I may not live in New York forever. If

they should go down, where in this country will I find an MD who will

be immune to this legal precedent? Nowhere.

How strategically smart the opposing camp is to try and take out the

forerunners, and have them declared guilty of overtreating and

overdiagnosing. If that were to happen, the standard for the

diagnosis and treatment of Lyme Disease would be forever altered.

After all, what references could be cited as medically acceptable to

do more than is currently described by Steere, et. al? Surely the

recommendations of 2 fallen doctors will do little to influence the

medical community.

Then consider the more subtle yet persuasive message: if you treat

Lyme more than recommended, we'll get you. Sounds a lot like a

conspiracy (no, I'm not suffering from universal paranoia).

What will your doctor be able to do? If they are incredibly brave

(beyond the call of duty) they will continue to practice as they do

now, and eventually follow the paths of their fallen colleagues. If

they have any chance of keeping their practice so that they can

continue their work, they will have to stop " overdiagnosing and

overtreating. "

No, your LLMD is not safe, therefore your treatment isn't secure.

Keep following this down the line, and you might finally arrive at

the same place I have. Not only is my doctor not safe, but nobody's

physician is secure. And the cost? Doctors, treatment, hope of a

cure, chance at having insurance be responsible to us, our health,

our lives, and the health and lives of all others who do have or will

have this disease.

We need to get this information out. It will eventually effect you

directly. Your are aware of the efforts made on Dr. B's behalf to

collect fund for legal defense. It is now also being done for Dr.

Horowitz. If you've already seen these messages, please be patient

for those who haven't.

Dr. H.'s situation is very critical. Please read the other posts (in

January)on this board regarding Dr. Horowitz on this board. If you

are interested in helping, please get the word out. He needs our

financial support for his legal defense. If you have the desire to

donate but don't have the means, there are many suggestions on how to

do this in my former posts. I will answer any question I can, as

quickly as possible. I thank you for taking the time to read this,

and wish you good health.

Do the donations for the Dr H and Dr B defense funds goto the same place?

Can I put them both in the same envelope, maybe one inside an envelope

inside the 1st envelope? Oh god, I can't say what I want. Does anyone

understand what I'm trying to say?

Thanks

The human spirit is stronger than anything that can

happen to it.

Yes, you can send TWO checks in the same envelope, to the same address.

Send it to:

Burrascano/Horowitz Legal Defense Fund

BLDF c/o

PO Box 410

Kinderhook, NY 12106

Be sure to make each check out to the two different funds. ALSO put in a

quick letter explaining that there are TWO checks, one for each fund.

I'm sure will be able to figure it out if you do all that.

Actually, to be over anal about the situation, the address SHOULD be:

Dear ,

Yes, they both go to , but they will need to be separate

checks. One to HDLF, the other to BDLF, and I would mark on the

envelope " 2 enclosures " so that will alert her attention. Thank you

for adding your support to our doctors, and all that doing this means.
