A couple examples of the problems facing the treatment of Lyme and it's co-infections.
In order to treat a medical condition, there must be literature to support the treatment. Without proper literature, the physicians can be cited for treating outside the guidelines for proper medical treatment. Just Google Dr. Joseph Jemsek to get an example of what the medical boards will do.
Here is the kicker, the drug companies rule the medical journals and won't let any pertinent literature get published. To get published, you must have all your ducks in a row and be able to prove your claims. This has been done numerous times and the medical journals still will not publish the literature. Their reasoning...................too much public outcry. For examples, Google Dr Stephen Fry and Protomyxzoa Rheumatica or look up Dr Alan Macdonald on Youtube. Both of these brilliant physicians have ground breaking information that should have been published and adopted but were refused publication. It is appalling that our government allows this to happen and we the people must continue to suffer.
Excellent info Matt.
It's sad how the government is run by lobbyists, and the drug companies are one of the biggest!
Lately Lyme has been getting more attention in the media than I've ever seen before, maybe that will help make a change...
