"They have become so dominant that they dictate business practices.
They are so influential that they exert tremendous influence over
public policy."
http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2009/11/24-12
Yep.
Mr. CT AG Blumenthal thought so too:
http://www.actionlyme.org/080430_RICO_CABAL_CAVES.htm
KAISER-PERMANENTE at the NYMC, which
is where the ALDF.com was established:
http://www.lymecryme.com/rich_text_8.html
http://www.actionlyme.org/CONNOLLY_FISH_WEINSTEIN.htm
"The entrepreneurial trio of the ALDF.com were
Connolly, Fish and Wormser."
And IDSA be sayin, "We have no conflicts
of interest! Insurance companies don't
PAY us to not treat Lyme!"
And we say, "WE KNOW!!! But the Kaiser-
ALDF.com RICO located over there at
New York Medical College, made a deal
http://www.actionlyme.org/CONNOLLY_FISH_WEINSTEIN.htm
with you where they support your insane
vaccine, as long as the vaccine is only
about the disease that Kaiser, et al, will
pay for: Knees!"
Knees do not require intravenous ceftriaxone
because cef means HEAD, and not KNEE.
And HEAD needs intravenous-ness because
of an inconvenient "complicating variable"
called the Blood Brain Barrier:
http://www.actionlyme.org/PENIS_MATTERS_101.htm
AND, the real reason for IDSA's hysteria
of 2001 and 2006 ("Guidelines") was because
by then, by 2000 or 2001, they all already
knew they had a problem with their
falsification of their vaccines outcomes.
Remember, by the fall of 2000, was when
after a full year of hearing about it, the
FDA gave us a hearing on the Adverse
Events not reported by Yale LYMErix and the
New Jersey ImmuLyme team:
http://www.fda.gov/OHRMS/DOCKETS/ac/01/slides/3680s2.htm
Note the date where I discuss my
conversation with SmithKline's Dennis
Parenti:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.diseases.lyme/browse_thread/thread/703f154bee5f8a57/8c8115f81813a5b0?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=parenti+kathleen#8c8115f81813a5b0
"I have to defend Parenti and SKB as well as the LDF.
I talked to Dr. Parenti. He seemed like an decent guy
and explained to me in great detail how patients
should report adverse reactions."
- - - - - - - - - - -
^^^Summer of 1999.
Secondly, Gary Wormser, Allen Steere,
Ray Dattwyler, Lenny Sigal, Justin
Radolf, and Dave Persing reported these:
http://www.actionlyme.org/ARTHURWEINSTEIN.htm
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&Cmd=DetailsSearch&Term=10865170[uid
"The magnitude of modulation was directly dependent on the quantity of
OspA. ***OspA interferes with the response of lymphocytes to
proliferative stimuli including a blocking of cell cycle phase
progression."*** [Doesn't work]
http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/pdf/10.1086/313920
"The Western Blots of OspA vaccine trials
using MarDx strips were unreadable." [Both
ImmuLyme and LYMErix trials used MarDx
test strips. There were *no* actual vaccine
trial results.]
http://www.actionlyme.org/DEARBORN_WHO_SAID_WHAT.htm
No one agreed with Allen Steere that
this was Lyme amongst the labs invited to
the Dearborn conference when practiced
in the field, not even Gary Wormser:
http://www.actionlyme.org/USDOJ_COMPLAINT_RICO.htm
(Remember now, I am a chemist, so I
know how stuff is done and how that
work is qualified or tested to see if
it is TRUE or scientifically valid data,
since that happens to be what I did for
a LIVING. Of course, the first thing I
wanted to know is how these crooks came
up with the test for Lyme which we all
knew to be ridiculous because we ARE
sick from a tick bite...
http://www.actionlyme.org/PHILLIPS_JE_PERVERT.htm
and our kids have it too:
http://www.actionlyme.org/Schoen.htm
(Me, I have the MS bands, anti-heat
shock proteins.)
So, the vaccines are gone, because not
only were they not vaccines, but because they
produced an illness that sounded remarkably
like Chronic Lyme, which I heard about in the
Spring and Summer of 1999, being the support
group leader for Southeastern CT, as I told
the FDA in Jan 2001:
http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/01/slides/3680s2_11.pdf
(Page 7 of the .pdf)
OUTLOOK
"***By what mechanism vaccination of the asymptomatic Bb infected
patients is causing the Lyme like illness, we do not know exactly.***
Previous infection could be “priming” the immunesystem, as Denise
Huber of Tufts has suggested, in “Identification of LFA-1 as a
Candidate Autoantigen in Treatment-Resistent Lyme Arthritis” July 31,
1998, Science, ‘6’01281, p 703. or the vaccine is activating a dormant
infection by the immune dysregulation it causes, as demonstrated by
the effect of Bb infection and Osp A alone, on NK cells population, T
cells, neutrophils, and the effects on the various inflammatory
regulating biomoleclues, such as-IL- 10.
We simply don’t know all the variables, at present, that eflect
systemic illness from immune dysregulation caused by Bb infection, and
especially the effect of a such a a large dose-of a known immune
irritant, Osp-A upon this system, the asymptomatic Lyme patient."
- - -
Of course, now we do know exactly.
It was OspA itself:
http://www.actionlyme.org/Pam3Cys_Version15.htm
Tripalmitoyl Cysteine.
The same infamous non-HIV and Non-Tuberculosis
vaccines:
http://www.actionlyme.org/FUNGAL_VACCINES.htm
- - - -
So, that all took place. IDSA stance is now
entirely about maintaining Kaiser's false
diagnostic standard. All of their antics
all of their claims come from a fear of
being prosecuted for fraud and murder. This
is especially evident in the antics of
JJ Halperin:
http://www.ct.gov/ag/cwp/view.asp?a=2795&q=414284
"The IDSA portrayed another medical association's Lyme disease
guidelines as corroborating its own when it knew that the two panels
shared several authors, including the chairmen of both groups, and
were working on guidelines at the same time. In allowing its panelists
to serve on both groups at the same time, IDSA violated its own
conflicts of interest policy."
That ^^ new "Guidelines" writer was JJ Halperin,
the man who discovered the Non-Dearborn
kind of Lyme results in death:
http://www.actionlyme.org/ALSLYME47.htm
Look at those ^^^ blots. They are not
Dearborn/Steere-in-Europe positive.
Certain people were literally stalking me and on the
internet, threatening me from every angle.
The crooks were scared, because everything
I (ever) said was true.
First they stalked and harassed Karen
Forschner, using the same formulary:
http://www.actionlyme.org/TICK_BITE_CONSPIRACY.htm
So, Follow (and this is very, very
easy to follow):
Yale had a vaccine right?
For what?
http://www.actionlyme.org/SIKAND.htm
"Finally, there are indeed many dilemmas in therapy. In particular,
untreated or inadequately treated Lyme disease may lead to the
***chronic morbidity with which we are very familiar. Most commonly
arthritis and the not common but complex neurological syndromes are
what often result*** and which confront the primary care physician in
the office diagnostically and therapeutically."
For that terrible, permanently disabling
disease, that is difficult to detect
http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/AC/98/transcpt/3422t1.rtf
or cure. And has terrible outcomes.
Oh.
And for this:
http://www.actionlyme.org/MCSWEEGAN_AND_DUMB_EUROPEANS.html
"First, Lyme disease is non-communicable, readily treatable with
common antibiotics and geographically localized in the United States.
Neurological cases — where treatment can be problematic — are more
common in Europe and a new vaccine may reduce the costs and
consequences of infection."
So, what is Lyme?
"A terrible disease that needs a vaccine because it is terrible and
has significant morbidity and many times incurable and people are
ruined for life... and is also easily diagnosed and cured and
practically needs no treatment at all."
So what could possibly have been the arrangement
between the lying patent profiteers and Kaiser
Permanente?
http://www.actionlyme.org/CRYME_DISEASE.htm
"Let's all lie together. You cover me,
I cover you. Let's say Lyme is just a knee."
Allen Steere obviously agreed with the plan
since he then went to Europe alone
to contradict himself:
http://www.actionlyme.org/STEERE_IN_EUROPE.htm
Alone.
Allen Steere went to Europe *ALONE,* to come
up with the new "case" definition of Lyme.
Who sent him?
But what did these crooks lose by lying about Lyme
and LYMErix for Kaiser and now their own necks (USDOJ
MURDER CHARGE)?
http://www.actionlyme.org/Pam3Cys_Version15.htm
Pam3Cys as the new stem cells,
and products related to the real
adjuvant, Pam2Cys. And they lost
EBV mutant B cell antibody pharming
for diseases like Tb, HIV, malaria,
Lyme, Sleeping Sickness,...
AND they lost 10-15 years in cancer
research because as Joe Tully tells
us, mycoplasmal infections in the
blood are big in Cancer:
http://www.actionlyme.org/Pam3Cys_Version15.htm
So, mechanistically, are we talking
about a real thing? Is Pam3Cys/mycoplasmal
infection tolerance and immune suppression a
real mechanism that had real meaning as regards cancer?
You Betchya:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&cmd=link&linkname=pubmed_pubmed&uid=19721714&ordinalpos=1&log$=relatedarticles&logdbfrom=pubmed
^^^
Pick one topic and see all. Let's
talk about winkies, since that happens
to be Yale's favorite topic.
[The Gentlemen copied in here will now
start paying paying attention because this
could be a broken wiener problem... and
we all know from Yale about the "primacy
of the genitals..."]
- - -
AND, probably the biggest problem of all
is that in light of these future times
where we can detect nanograms of a
substance when we want to put a single
perp in jail, no one seems to be
able to detect not only "Lyme Disease"
but any of IDSA's biomarkers of it:
http://www.actionlyme.org/PRIMERSHELLGAME.htm
http://www.actionlyme.org/BIOMARKERS2.htm
because then psychiatrists would not
be useful for declaring "CRAZY!,' WHICH
WE DON't PAY FOR!"
"Love,
Kaiser-Permanente, et al"
Nobody wants to dare to examine psychiatry.
That hits too close to home. Too many
scientifically incompetent people need
jobs as human body-processors and brain
damagers of young children with FDA-unapproved
treatments for the same childhood trauma
that the likes of James Casbolt, Leo
Zagami, Svali and Doc Marguis talk about.
http://www.actionlyme.org/BRAINDAMAGE.htm
As well as what has leaked out from the
victims of the MKUltra program and the, um,
Men Who Stare At Goats. It is the *same*
abuse system that requires a child sacrifice
of one sort or another.
"Sacrifice or torture or warp or pervert or
emotionally ruin a *child,* and I will give you
even more power..."
http://www.actionlyme.org/SATANS_SICKOS.htm
We all like to think in psychiatry's terms of
"defense mechanisms" and excusing childish, petty,
self-serving and jealous behaviors as if they're
perfectly "normal." Even when they affect the
likes of the USDOJ:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.med.diseases.lyme/browse_thread/thread/7e2cf31a3dc15f19?hl=en#
"Oh, yeah, no. By all means, Kev.
Go work for Rudi Guiliani. You have
*yourself* to worry about."
Nobody says, "Why you stinking low-life.
All you ever did was protect the
bloodsucker Bigs when your job was
to protect us from them. Now your
job is OFFICIALLY to protect White
Collar criminals.
Touche' Kev.
You won. You always win. You're safe.
They'll never come after you, because
now you're one of them."
[Once upon a time, such persons got
the gallows or a firing sqaud. Now
they're admired for climbing the
ladder of power.]

Insurance Industry Antitrust Fight Headed to Conference Committee
by Ryan Grim
The insurance industry successfully fought off a Senate threat to
revoke its antitrust exemption as part of health care reform, but the
issue lives to fight one more battle in the conference committee
negotiations that will take place between the two chambers.
The issue surfaced in mid-October, shortly after the industry lobby,
America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), pushed hard against the
Democratic health care reform effort, claiming it would significantly
raise premiums.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) responded by saying the
industry should lose its cherished antitrust exemption -- implemented
some 60 years ago by the McCarran-Ferguson Act -- and be forced to
compete under the same rules as any other enterprise.
"Insurance companies have become so large they dominate entire regions
of the country," he said. "They have become so powerful they block
start-up businesses from entering the market, and they put smaller
companies out of business. They have become so dominant that they
dictate business practices. They are so influential that they exert
tremendous influence over public policy."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) seconded Reid the next day,
twisting the knife and adding that "it is well known to the public
that the health insurance companies are the problem." The following
day Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers announced a hearing and
a committee vote on revoking the exemption. It passed and was included
in the House health care bill that passed two weeks ago.
The insurers recognize the politics at work. "Health insurance is one
of the most regulated industries in America at both the federal and
state level. McCarran-Ferguson has nothing to do with competition in
the health insurance market. The focus on this issue is a political
ploy designed to distract attention away from the real issue of rising
health care costs," AHIP spokesman Robert Zirkelbach told HuffPost.
The Senate, characteristically, has not seen such a one-two-three
process unfold.
A week before House passage, HuffPost reported that Reid decided not
to include the repeal of the exemption but to go for it as a floor
amendment instead. The move was seen as a sop to Nebraska Democrat Ben
Nelson, an industry backer who had yet to offer his support for Reid's
motion to proceed and who is a strong public supporter of keeping the
antitrust exemption in place.
Asked by HuffPost if he had asked Reid to drop the measure in exchange
for his vote, Nelson demurred. "That would come as a surprise to Harry
Reid," he said of multiple reports that he had pushed for it to be
left out.
But there's more than one way to push in the Senate and, regardless of
whether Nelson raised the issue with Reid, even the Capitol cafeteria
workers were aware of Nelson's strong position.
Nelson argues that repealing the exemption wouldn't hurt the big
insurers because they're already so big they don't need to collude
with each other. Repealing it, he argues, would only hurt the little
guys.
But there are very few little guys left: one or two big insurers are
dominant in almost every region of the country.
Nelson, now that he has voted to move the bill forward, is still
threatening to filibuster a final bill if he finds it objectionable.
Nelson and others want the public health insurance option stripped
from the Senate bill, but if it goes to conference too friendly to the
industry, the antitrust repeal is likely to be in the bill that comes
back. For the industry, it's pick your poison.
