Consider the following…..

“We will only treat those with a bullseye rash and/or a positive two-tier serological test. All else will filter into the healthcare system and if the spirochete is anything like syphilis left untreated it should turn into a moneymaker.”

I have heard through the Lyme community that only 15% of actual cases test positive; those with a robust immune response typically seen in the swollen knee presentation of the disease (Lyme arthritis). The 1994 Dearborn Conference established stringent testing setting the bar too high which was more likely to be positive with the swollen knee. They also removed the two most important markers (band 31 and 34. Outer surface proteins A and B)

Those markers needed to be removed for vaccine development of an OspA based vaccine because everyone who received those shots would test positive for Lyme disease.

The CDC estimates yearly cases of Lyme at 476,000

If 476,000 represents 15% of the actual cases, the other 3,173,333 filter down through the medical system to be treated for something else.

Interviewed Lyme patients in the documentary Under our Skin say the following:
 
-I was misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome
 
-I was misdiagnosed with MS
 
-I was misdiagnosed with Lupus
 
-I was misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia
 
-I was misdiagnosed with ALS

Study detects tick-borne illness in teens hospitalized for depression

-Ten patients were diagnosed with DSM-5 Major Depressive Disorder, seven were additionally diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and three had made serious suicide attempts.

-Ten adolescents picked at random with mental illness severe enough that they required institutionalization—nine of them had evidence of tick-borne infections and nine had evidence of autoimmune encephalitis

What was it that the CDC learned from the Tuskegee experiment when senator Ted Kennedy exposed the crime?

What happens when Lyme is left untreated as the Tuskegee Airman were?

There are dozens of studies from two continents identifying borrelia in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients and one NIH study claiming they could not find the Lyme disease spirochete. A coauthor of that single study is Adriana Marques, gatekeeper of who receives funding for Lyme disease research at the NIH. Marques used serology to claim there was no evidence of an association between Lyme disease and autism.

How many grants has Marques awarded to research chronic Lyme disease?

There are 700 peer reviewed studies identifying persistent infection and 2 NIH studies (by the same researcher!) that claim they could not find the Lyme disease spirochete in those treated following the IDSA’s treatment guideline.

Currently There is a Lyme disease vaccine in stage III clinical trials.

Does a chronic relapsing seronegative disease fit the vaccine model?

How do you prove vaccine efficacy in the general population if we do not know who has or does not have the infection? (immune suppressive infection)

Pfizer is using culture, PCR, DNA sequencing and serology testing in the trial participants to gauge efficacy because serology is so unreliable yet it has been the only lab test offered to the public for the past 30yrs. Let that sink in!

The current serological test for Lyme disease cannot be used to gauge treatment failure or success which makes it the ideal tool for concealing chronic infection.

Advanced Laboratory Services developed a culture test claiming 80% positive results. The CDC’s Barbera Johnson effectively put them out of business claiming contamination issues.

If that is the case why didn’t the CDC work directly with Advanced Laboratory Services to perfect their direct detection culture method?

Milford Molecular Diagnostics was working directly with the CDC on proficiency testing of their DNA sequencing test for Lyme disease. When Dr Sin Lee published a case of chronic Lyme proven through DNA sequencing all communication with the CDC ended abruptly with no explanation. As a result, Dr. Lee filed a $57.1 million lawsuit against the CDC.  Proving chronic Lyme disease threatened the existing false public health narrative.

George Mason University’s urine antigen test was eliminated from the LymeX prize competition and voted out by Adriana Marques but in the same month received a $1,176,645 grant in federal funding from the U.S. Department of the Army “to revolutionize Lyme disease detection and diagnosis with urine testing.” Many of us believed that the urine antigen test offered the best hope for the detection of Lyme in all stages of disease. Was this technology eliminated because the test threatened the existing IDSA/CDC dogma as it could detect chronic Lyme (which must never be identified) as this would expose the truth? By the way, Galaxy validation data (unpublished) shows that their Nanotrap® Urine Test will often confirm active infection in patients with negative TTT (Two-Tiered Testing) serology results.

SUMMARY

Is it possible that a large portion of the chronic diseases of our time (with no known etiology) are in fact a result of Lyme disease left untreated and there has been a concerted effort into hiding/avoiding the truth to preserve that profitable revenue stream in treating these chronic diseases? Finding the correct treatment for Lyme in all stages of disease is not in the best interest of a pharmaceutical industrial complex hell-bent on treating (not curing) with a lifetime of expensive drugs.
