Dr Update (from Dr Schaller)

[Guest guest]

My Friends,

Here is an update on the status of Dr. ' legal battle. Currently, his

defense costs are far in excess of the money sent to his legal fund. Why be

bothered?

*State Boards fused to Academic anti-clinicians have assisted in the damage

and deaths of many youth throughout the US. While good work has been done,

we cannot lose and have physicians prohibited from life saving Lyme care. We

cannot lose the world expert in pediatric Lyme care and mentoring.

*Every Lyme physician in the US is one call away from a 50-250,000 dollar

state board war and a possible lost license. Each knows that and this is one

reason many shrink from more aggressive work and treatments. If loses, it

sets up a model that anyone can be brought down.

*We must have the liberty to have any doctor we choose to treat us freely,

and with Tick diseases, the freedom to keep our children ALIVE and FROM

FUNCTIONAL DECAY. Since the state boards are legislating a standard of care,

paternalism has seized your freedom of medical treatment, and only aggressive

battling will restore it to you.

*If we lose him, there will be a domino effect. When we lost Dr Dorothy

Petrucha a few years ago, two other pediatric docs decided to walk away, and

these were just the ones that we know about. Many physicians are quietly

watching to see if they will be alone, if they have to face the board. Show

them

that treating Lyme does not mean losing everything.

*During my modest training time with him, he worked 7 days a week for the

children he treats, with little concern for his own damaged joints.

*If Shapiro wins, we ALL lose! Can you imagine all those simple

anti-clinicians gloating about Dr. " being disciplined. " The ugliness of

this

relentless servant being abused is sickening.

*Thank God, Dr. is willing to stand and fight. At his age, he could

have easily retired and walked away. But like his early friend, the Rev.

Luther King, he knows about fighting. But no one fights alone and wins.

Few of us have much extra disposable income. But sometimes the need to stop

darkness and injustice, requires a sacrifice done simply from love and a

hunger to see justice.

Legal defense funds are not tax deductible. It is up to those of us who know

what a horror that this illness can be to help Dr. have the most

seasoned, aggressive and competent legal experts and defense tools possible.
