Thank you for sharing. I will elaborate on McSweegan and
Corrupticut in general.
====================

It *would* be like McSweegan to have so much insider detail
about this Charles Ray Jones case.

The CT Medical Board selectively goes after malpractitioners.

They did not go after Yale's James Phillips and they did not
go after Yale's Robert Schoen:

http://www.actionlyme.org/CT_MED_BOARD_BLOW_OFF.htm
Anyone who is from Yale can malpractice and maim all they want.

Congenital Lyme:
http://www.actionlyme.org/Schoen.htm
http://www.actionlyme.org/LARA_LYME_1996.htm
Congenital Ehrlichiosis:
http://www.actionlyme.org/DIANE_EHRLICHIOSIS.htm

All of my kids have congenital Lyme. Dave is the healthiest
as I told CT AG Richard Blumenthal in 1999:
http://ct.gov/ag/lib/ag/health/lyme.pdf

and of course, Phillips:
http://www.actionlyme.org/PENISBITERDOCS.htm

Check out those records on Phillips. That is clearly
every drug that there is, and I clearly state what Bob Bransfield
gives Lyme-brain people (June 2000), and Phillips and Marcus clearly
perjured themselves about what the APA guidelines say and are for:
http://www.actionlyme.org/BUNNEY_YALE_BRAIN_DAMAGE.htm


I don't care what anyone says. You are not allowed to brain
damage people and then LIE about it to EVERYONE, especially
under oath, as a "Forensic Psychiatrist for the State."

If they had used me as a witness, this Jones case would be over.

My kids have *undeniable* congenital Lyme and Ehrlichiosis
and I undeniably have Lyme brain and undeniably got better
from the 3+ months of IV treatment since I told Blumenthal
about it, and it shows in my brain SPECT scans:
http://www.actionlyme.org/PHILLIPS_JE_PERVERT.htm

But then, the Ray Jones Show would not be ALL ABOUT
PAT SMITH and the Greenwich STEPFORD WIVES.

Besides that, it is true that Jones' attorney is deliberately
losing his case. Elliot Pollack is not trying to win here,
since I sent him all my records.

He should have put me on the witness stand followed by
Sam T. Donta and then Ray Jones himself, since my kids
have among the best documented cases of congenital Lyme and
Medical Board corruption, and perjury flying as expertise
from a total moron and pervert.

The day is going to come, however, since I will subpoena
the hell out of the State of CT and also the federal government.

We are going to hear from Zerhouni himself why he does nothing
about this case, when the CT AG - a lawyer - caught these Yalie
bee-stards committing research FRAUD and deliberate, intentional
harm - the perjury and malpractice of James Phillips.

Phillips will tell us all under oath at this public trial
why the mail stolen off of Richard Blumenthal's desk means
I am a "Like Ted Kascynski" "chemist" after he said it all
"should be written up in the New Yorker."

http://www.actionlyme.org/BLUMENTHALS_MAIL_STOLEN_BY_JESSICA_GAUVIN.htm

And Richard Blumenthal will tell the public how his mail
gets stolen.

Thanks for sharing this. This *does* sound like McSweegan. Clearly
they still want Jones out of the picture. The issue is Lyme in
children. The crooks are scared shipless of people finding
out the truth about congenital Lyme. It probably has even
worse outcomes than we're aware of:
http://www.actionlyme.org/MOMS_CAN_GIVE_LYME_TO_BABIES.htm

For some reason, the crooks are terrified of the congenital
Lyme issue. Look at what they did to Karen Forschner? On top
of all the stalking, wiretapping, harassment and lawsuits, they
sic'd Pat Smith on her and ruined the Lyme Foundation.
http://www.actionlyme.org/GOLDWATER_LETTER.htm

Jones thinks he is doing the right thing. He is letting
everyone else run his case because he is naive. He does not
quite understand how vicious the State employees are. All he
wants to do is concentrate on the kids. If you saw his medical
records, you would be totally convinced they can't get him
on documentation.

The Medical Board can't get him on documentation, although he
could get the State on endorsing Quest, since they use strain
B31, which has no OspC in it, and therefore will inevitably miss
thousands of cases.

That's another "fraud on the government," by the way.
http://www.actionlyme.org/JohnDunn_Brookhaven.htm
http://www.actionlyme.org/PRIMERSHELLGAME.htm
(There is no OspC in B31, according to UConn.)


Thankfully, due to Yale's numerous crimes, the United States
is losing BigPharma, entirely:
http://inhome.rediff.com/money/2008/sep/06bpo.htm

The rest of the world is not going to put up with this
bullshit from Yale. They'll do their own research from now on.
The immunology disaster was just too much.

It is not forgivable for Yale to have not followed up on
Duray's pseudoleukemia findings in Chronic Lyme:
http://www.actionlyme.org/Duray.htm

That's chronic Lyme. 1992.

of the posters is called 54 steps but has the McSweegan cadence to his
writing along
with the use of particular words like silly and ridiculous as well as
attacking
Dr. Jones:
>
>From the LNE website-
>Letters such as this have been posted on web pages and passed around Internet
discussion lists for the past couple of years. These dramatic pleas
for assistance
seem more apt to be found in those ubiquitous emails from various
shady Nigerian
“businessmen” than in a letter from a respected Connecticut physician.
I find these
letters disturbing. If Dr. Jones is really as talented in the
treatment of Lyme
disease as his reputation among the Lyme community leads us to
believe, then I wholeheartedly
agree that the Lyme community ought to support him in his time of
need. However,
patients and their families struggling to afford their own health care
shouldn’t
be frightened into sending money by such misleading solicitations.
There must be
better ways to help Dr. Jones then giving him little “gifts” of money.
>
>I offer the following suggestions to help Dr. Jones in his time of crisis:

>1. Dr. Jones should fire his attorneys immediately.
>
>According to this latest plea:

> Urgent! I must raise $90,000 by July 14, 2008 and an additional $110,000
by August 10 in order to retain the legal team which has been
representing me.

>
>Given the prevalence of these letters circulating around cyberspace every few
months, (and assuming they are truthful) his legal expenses must be
well into the
millions by now. Even if Dr. Jones pays a reasonable rate of about
$200 an hour
for his defense, his team would have had to spend every working hour,
devoting no
time to any other clients, to even come close to the money he seemed
to require
over the past two and a half years (and that’s not counting any
contribution of
his own funds to his defense.)
>
>Maybe if Dr. Jones had less expensive attorneys he wouldn’t have to beg for
money. Clearly if they allowed a presumably innocent doctor to be
reprimanded by
the state medical board they are probably not worth the exorbitant
fees he is paying.
>
>2. Maybe Dr. Jones should just bite the bullet and drop his appeal.
>
>If we consider the board’s decision we see that he really doesn’t have much
to worry about. First, he received a public reprimand. Big deal,
everyone knows
who he is and I doubt a public reprimand by the medical board will
affect his reputation
in any way. Given the climate in the Lyme world such a reprimand might
even be seen
as a badge of honor. Second, he is on probation for two years. He can
still treat
Lyme patients (even with long term treatments) for these two years; he
just needs
to be a little less reckless with the care he gives. Third, he has to
pay for another
pediatrician, chosen by Dr. Jones himself (though the board has to
give its approval,)
to come in every three months to review a random sample of his files.
Fourth, Dr.
Jones has to pay a $10,000 fine.
>
>But hold on, Dr. Jones tells us:
>
> If these sums are not raised, I will not be able to continue defending the
charges brought against me by the Connecticut Department of Public
Health for my
treatment of children with Lyme disease, and I fear that I will be
forced by the
Connecticut Medical Examining Board to resign my license to practice
medicine and
to retire. This must not happen!
>
>
>
>This is peculiar. How could any of the sanctions imposed possibly lead to Dr.
Jones’ forced retirement? An official reprimand simply means that the
board has
acknowledged some wrongdoing on his part. It doesn’t mean he must give
up his license.
A reprimand on a doctor’s record can affect his livelihood to be sure,
but I doubt
parents will stop taking their sick children to the good doctor in
this particular
case. Probation cannot cause his forced retirement unless, of course,
he finds it
impossible to practice medicine without prescribing medication to
children he hasn’t
even met let alone examined. I don’t think that is likely. Hiring a
colleague to
review his records quarterly wouldn’t be a terrible imposition
financially. Like
probation, unless Dr. Jones could not practice without blatant
negligence, a monitor
could not cause his forced retirement. Incurring a $10,000 fine will
probably not
bankrupt the man; even if it did, that couldn’t cause him to give up
his license.
There may more likely causes of his forced retirement. I think
incurring millions
in debt appealing the decision of a disciplinary action that wouldn’t
have had any
major impact on his practice might count as one. However, his advanced
aged may
very well be the ultimate cause of his impending retirement.
>
>I think my two suggestions are very reasonable. If Dr. Jones would just accept
the board’s decision then he would save Lyme patients millions of
dollars. But,
of course, this is unacceptable because as he puts it:
>
> If I do not continue to oppose these charges, how many more physicians will
be left vulnerable to similar charges for their treatment of Lyme
disease? How many
more sick children will be abandoned?
>
>
>
>The numbers for both are zero. First, doctors will always be vulnerable to charges
of negligence and misconduct. Dr. Jones was not charged with treating
Lyme disease,
he was charged with treating it in a reckless manner. Second, children
with Lyme
disease do not go without treatment because medical boards aren’t soft
enough on
reckless doctors, they go without treatment often because of the
scientific and
political controversies that surround this disease. This case really
shouldn’t affect
either doctors or their patients.
>
>Certainly, the prospects of being unable to get appropriate medical care for
your child can be frightening. However, if they were to stop and think
about it,
how many parents would prefer that medical boards were more lenient
towards misconduct?
I certainly wouldn’t take my child to a doctor with the knowledge that
the only
way I could gain access to that doctor is if it was easier for that
doctor to commit
negligence and other misconduct.
>
>Of course, it may be true that either Dr. Jones didn’t commit any of the acts
the board found that he did or that these acts, had he committed them,
shouldn’t
be considered inappropriate. If the first is true, then what has this
to do with
Lyme? Doctors have to face false accusations all the time. Why should
this in itself
be so terrifying? If the accusations are false, then shouldn’t the
outcome affect
doctors of all kinds, not just those who treat certain illnesses with
certain modalities?
If the latter were true then we would have to concede that those same
behaviors
would be acceptable for all disciplines. Maybe I should call some
arbitrary doctor
out of the New York City phone book and ask him or her to diagnosis
and treat my
hemorrhoids. Maybe I could get a doctor’s note excusing me from school
too!

>Now of course there is more to consider. Apparently there are additional misconduct
charges being brought against Dr. Jones relating to other cases.
Presumably, he
would need yet more funds to fight any of these alleged misdeeds. I
have also failed
to mention the difficulty that he had encountered finding a babysitter
willing to
get involved in this mess, exposing him to a contempt charge. However,
how can it
be possible that these situations require the immediate solicitation
of $200,000
in one months time? This calls to mind a then famous televangelist and
faith-healer
that implored his viewers to send him obscene amounts of money in
order to prevent
God from taking his life. His faithful sent millions without even
considering the
plausibility of his claims. Likewise, I am sure many Lyme sufferers
will give away
their hard-earned and desperately needed money away without critically
examining
the issues at hand.
>
>Lyme hardliners would challenge that the charges brought against Dr. Jones are
blatant attempts by the mainstream medical community to silence
dissenters by the
misuse of disciplinary hearings. They see the disciplinary review
boards as kangaroo
courts simply out to lynch all LLMD’s. However, the vast majority of
disciplinary
actions are not against doctors who treat Lyme disease--not by a long
shot. Moreover,
we should not forget that the board found that not every allegation
against Dr.
Jones was adequately demonstrated. Why would a dishonest court settle
for a partial
victory when they could have it all? The answer is simple. There is no
conspiracy
against Lyme doctors. Blaming misconduct charges on some make belief
conspiracy
rather than consider if those charges hold merit is irresponsible.
Rationalizing
away any charges that are merited simply because Lyme patients and
their doctors
are perceived to be a persecuted minority is idiotic and dangerous.
>
>Lyme has been a scientifically and politically controversial disease for over
thirty years. Silliness such as these desperate pleas for money only
serve to stir
up the controversy not settle it. They certainly will not improve the
reputation
of LLMD’s among the mainstream medical community.
>
>Maybe that is how some in the Lyme world want it. For example, if the ILADS
position were accepted by the mainstream, then someone with chronic
Lyme would be
able to get the same treatment anywhere. There would no longer be a
need for the
LLMD appellation. The LLMD’s would lose their corner on the chronic
Lyme market.
