Subject: Lyme came from AFRICA (and a question for the CDC and USDOJ)

On the homepage now are three references which all point
to parkeri, turicatae, hermsii, duttoni and anserina (a
bird spirochetosis) which are all from Africa.
http://www.actionlyme.org/index.htm

http://ijsb.sgmjournals.org/cgi/reprint/46/4/859
http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/mandi/48/7/501/_pdf

These records are linked from my homepage, but people
should save their own copy since these records have a
habit of disappearing.


So, nevermind this BS about "Lyme came from Europe."

The reverse likelier happened, if we are talking about the
OspA disease (not that that is my argument; I say this is all
Relapsing Fever, but the odd OspA one happened to come
from an area where they were already messing around with
mycoplasma, ticks, and livestock; an accidental "take"
that the idiots on Plum Island were probably not even aware
was happening).
http://www.actionlyme.org/BIOWEAPONEERS_CORIXA_YALE_TLRS.htm

It probably came from Plum Island, as I also previously
demonstrated, for 2 reasons:
1) CDC *always" watches the Massachusetts islands for
new break-outs (if these infections were flying over on
sea birds from Africa, CDC would be concentrating on
Cape Hateras and the like, instead of Great Island,
Martha's Vineyard and Block Island)

Verify independently. There are a lot of such records
of the CDC investigating the Mass. islands and virtually
none of the CDC investigating other coastal islands for
these bugs.


2) The disease migrated WEST, when if it really came
over as a tropical disease, it would have migrated
from New Jersey to Connecticut:

VIII. Ed Bosler and outbreak areas
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=pubmed&Cmd=DetailsSearch&Term=3577493[uid]
This supports the assertion that Plum Island was the original outbreak
area.
Lyme clearly moved WEST.


Moral of the story: Whenever the CDC says something
go in the other direction. Remember, they're not
very clever liars. For instance, they make no offer
as to the possible reason for the undeniable epidemic
of the brain damaged everyone seems to call autism.

How many years has the mercury and autism issue
been going on, yet CDC never investigates and only
says, "It's not the Thimerosal..."

Like that MD with Chronic Lyme posted in his rebuttal
to the IDSA crooks in Salon:

SHOW ME WHAT IT IS, THEN:

As a fellow physician and someone who trained at the epicenter of the
Lyme epidemic,
I can assure you that the discussions among physicians about Lyme when
no patients
are around basically boil down to one thing: they are nuts, either the
parents or
kid or both (being in pediatric medicine).

Imagine my shock when I developed all the classic symptoms of
undiagnosed or late
Lyme and went from highly respected internist to rheumatologist to
orthopedist to
rheumatologist to dermatologist (all of them at THE medical school
concerning Lyme)
reciting the same symptoms and got as many different diagnoses as MDs
consulted,
all mutually exclusive and all implausible. Simply mentioning the
question, do you
think this could be Lyme led to that glazed look in their eyes,
stammering, pause,
might I be depressed, er, umm, was I under stress, blah blah blah.

Finally after my wife told me straight up that I had Lyme and I
consulted a Lyme
literate MD, yes-one of "those", did I start to get better. Re-
consulting
with all those same aforementioned docs--all just stared at me when I
said I was
significantly better on combination antibiotics. They had no
explanation. They all
repeated their mantras, literally: "I dont believe in chronic Lyme."
"There
is no evidence you have Lyme." "I am very conservative about this Lyme
controversy." OK, so why am I better and what do you recommend? Nada.

I have given up on what they think the controversy is since I am much
much better
on antibiotics. They also said straight up that I should not be
treated by this
Lyme MD, but they would be unwilling to prescribe the antibiotics
themselves since
it cannot be shown they actually help Lyme, and I dont have Lyme
anyway. Got that?
This kind of logic obviously would not fly in a freshman college
course in logic,
but there you have it.

So yes, I have experienced the callous, arrogant (I am sparing you the
details),
and actually just plain stupid things MDs have told me. OK, maybe just
one tidbit.
A famous rheumatologist told me I had osteoarthritis and pointed to an
X-ray of
my knees. I laughed since across the room I could see the x-rays were
clean. and
just asked if he could fax my office the official reading of the
radiologist. He
didnt. I requested the medical record directly. Knees? Perfect. No
osteo. Get it?
So I have concluded that when it comes to this issue, there are
factors that predominate
over logic, reason, and evidence.

First: medicine is a pack animal and very strong herd instincts
prevail. Most regular
docs do NOT want to be seen as one of the flaky, irresponsible quacks
who are shunned
and ostracized by the medical community. THis is more powerful than
non docs can
realize. Its a small world and the word gets out immediately if you
have gone over
to the dark side.

Second: the nefarious influence of academic medicine rife with huge
conflicts is
incalculable. Well not exactly, Here is the calculus. Every mile
further from Yale
medical school in the community of practice in CT increases one's
chance of
being appropriately diagnoses and agressively treated for Lyme.

Third: Doctors are all hung up on this new fad of evidence based
medicine. Funny,
I thought we used evidence all along. But a lot of docs only recognize
the evidence
in the New England Journal, and forget about the evidence sitting in
their consulting
rooms-very ill patients many of whom have gotten better with these
prolonged antibiotic
treatments.

As to the canard about most "Lyme pateints" are misdiagnosed and have
some other serious disease which should be correctly treated, I'm from
Missouri.
Since there are hundreds and thousands of us misdiagnosed ill not-Lyme
patients,
why doesnt someone publish a series of the next 500 so called Lyme
patients and
follow them for 5 years and publish what they actually end up having.
Five years
should be enough time for cancer, MS, or serious psychiatric illness
to manifest.
How bout it academics? Put up or shut up.
==================================

So, I thought I would re-demonstrate how we actually
do science: look at the data. The data says Lyme
came from Africa.

Where did OspA come from?

And I want everyone copied above - "government"
"employees," I mean - to tell us Lyme victims, exactly
how long are we expected to put up with their lies
and incompetence, and especially, why is the CDC and
the NIH leaving it to the States to figure out that we
need to get rid of the deer?

Why doesn't the Centers of Disease *Control* tell us
that we need deer control, instead of agreeing with the
IDSA crooks, who are now under investigation for research
fraud?

WHAT is the CDC's annual budget?

How much are we paying them for their extraordinary
incompetence on all diseases and vaccines?

Childhood Immunizations' Damage
HIV
Lyme
Cancer
ALS (mycoplasmal)
MS...
