Dr. needs your help. Please help.

[Guest guest]

To all:

This is an email I received regarding Dr. next hearing:

We have only 16 days until Dr. next hearing!

Thursday June 22nd, 9 am in Hartford, CT.

Please consider making your travel plans soon.

I will be block booking rooms at a local hotel. The cost will

probably be about 95.00 for the one night before the hearing.

Holiday Inn Express is one of the hotels I have spoken with. It is

right across the park from the Legislative building.

Details will be forthcoming.

Dr. has asked everyone to attend his hearings. This is a quote

from what he said at the Rally in Hartford on June 2.

" I welcome and extend a hearty welcome to each and all of you to

come and see what is going on in the legislative hearings. " Dr.

Ray

Dr. Shapiro will be cross examined by Attorney Pollack at the June

22nd hearing. Shapiro said some really foolish things in his

testimony and the cross, I am sure, will be very interesting.

Please also remember his defense fund. If you can send a donation of

any amount please do.

Make Donations payable to " The Dr. Ray Legal Defense

Fund "

Mail to:

C/O Heath, III (CPA)

CREDIT CARD CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEFENSE FUND.

I hope we fill that hearing room and an overflow room as well on

June 22nd. I saw how much the children's testimonies meant to Dr.

at the rally. Please consider bringing your children. If they

can not sit for the full hearing bring them for a s long as they can

handle. I am certain he will love seeing every child that comes.

The time for the hearing is 9 am to 3:30 pm. There is a break for

lunch, with a very good, inexpensive cafeteria in the Legislative

building. There are also a few short leg stretching breaks as well.

Please show Dr. you believe in what he has done and continues

to do, attend his hearings.

I'll send the detailed info soon.

Questions? Please feel free to email me b10g7@...

Robynn,

The rally went well today. I think we had more people then

anticipated. It was great to meet people in person that have walked

the same long road with their own Lyme challenges.

Here are my observations and my personal plea to support Dr. at

the bottom of this post.

They had a great panel of speakers and guests. Some that I remember

were Landau, " Dolly " Powers (CT State Rep),

Blumenthal (CT Attorney General), Dr. Burrascano, Sandy Berenbaum,

Pat , Dr. and great group of kids who had a chance to

speak and tell their stories. The speakers were humorous, organized,

passionate and approachable. They were all on point regarding the

challenges we all face and all discussed their own perspectives on

the challenges of proper diagnosis, proper treatment, family support,

financial burdens and challenges this disease causes.

Dr. Burrascano was brilliant as he described his confusion on how

dogs and cats have better testing and treatment facilities for Lyme

then people do (no offense to our beloved pets). He talked about the

many diseases/co-infections in ticks that are still not fully

understood. He mentioned one that is now being used in biological

warfare. He explained that because ticks are in the dirt and feed on

a number of different types of hosts it is only natural that they

would pick up and be able to transmit many different bugs. He talked

about the many different co-infections that we still can't detect.

He spoke passionately about the contradiction of persecuting our

GREAT doctors for treating Lyme with long term antibiotics when long

term antibiotics is the recommended course of treatment for ACNE and

other diseases. He was confused as to how we can positively test

ticks for these diseases but we can't reliable test people. He was

also confused as to how we can persecute our GREAT Lyme doctors for

over treating Lyme. He took a moment to recognize Dr. as one

of his own personal HEROS. His comparison to how our pets are

treated I think says it all. Veterinarian's have the resources and

testing labs to positively test and treat our pets for Lyme, if your

pet is diagnosed with Lyme the Vet's are very thorough about the

treatments that are available. They are compassionate in treating

the animal and describing the condition of the pet to their

families. They follow the pet through complete long term treatment

and when your friends and family find out that your pet has Lyme

everyone feels sorry for them. No one ever heard of a vet being sued

for over treating Lyme. If only we as Lyme patients could have the

same consideration and compassion. Amen brother! His tone was

serious and down to earth; he meant what he was saying. It's time to

be heard!

The other great panel members spoke about other specific Lyme

challenges including social mis-understanding, the political battles,

family's dedications to their loved ones and the commitment that we

all need to make if we are going to be heard.

Dr. spoke passionately about his battle and his need for our

support. Financial support is critical now as well as our support

through our thoughts and prayers. He said he would continue treating

Lyme patients as long as he could because he has a deep inner calling

to help our kids with Lyme. He asked that everyone show their

support at his next hearing on June 22nd at the Legislative Office

Building, 300 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT. He has been there for

all of us, for over 8000 of our kids and now he needs us to be there

for him. Ironically so that he can continue to be there for us!

Let's all continue the positive momentum and find a way that we can

make a difference. It can be as simple as educating everyone you

possible can about the challenges and realities of Lyme. Join Lyme

activist movements and efforts

(http://www.lymeinfo.net/advocacyinfo.html), ask your primary Lyme

care provider how you can help, contact your government officials and

put pressure on them, continue to write letters to the media, call TV

shows, have more discussions on this board on ways that we can all

help. Let's all put aside our differences (treatment, affiliations,

history, political views, history…) and focus on how we can raise

social awareness about Lyme. Ask your supportive friends, families

and co-workers to share the information that you have given them with

their friends and families.

I'm making a plea for donations to the Dr. Defense fund. I

know that not everyone is in a position to donate, and that is

understood. But if you can donate please do. Now is the time.

Don't put it off till tomorrow. Ask yourself where our kids with

Lyme would be if Dr. looses his license. Here is the

information I have on how to donate:
