How do you differentiate rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from Lyme disease?

These two diagnoses are often mixed up, since symptoms are similar. A good Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD) should be able to distinguish Lyme from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other conditions that Lyme can mimic, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and lupus. They will run specialized tests for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases, and will be able to make a clinical diagnosis.

Though both Lyme and RA can cause joint inflammation and pain, the way this pain presents can help doctors distinguish between the two. Pain from RA tends to be symmetrical; a patient might experience it in both hands, both wrists, or both knees. Conversely, Lyme pain tends to be localized and/or migratory; a patient might only have pain in one wrist, or might have an aching left elbow one day and an inflamed right knee the next.

In his book Why Can’t I Get Better? Solving the Mystery of Lyme & Chronic Disease, Richard I. Horowitz, MD notes, “Rheumatoid arthritis can look a lot like Lyme disease. Like lupus, it is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease that primarily affects the joints, but it also may involve inflammation in tendons, ligaments, muscle, bone, and many organs in the body. To establish a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, the joint score (counting and mapping the joints involved at each visit), the presence of synovitis (inflammation in the synovial membrane surrounding the joints), and the physical exam (range of motion, presence of increased fluid in the joints, nodules, and deviations in the joints) are the focus of the criteria. We can get signs of inflammation in both diseases (including positive ANAs and rheumatoid factors), but the presence of positive anti-CCP antibodies differentiates it from Lyme disease and is a more specific marker for true rheumatoid arthritis.”

In one of your articles, you mentioned that you take medication to help you sleep. I am worried about being on an addictive sleep medication. I am happy to be able to sleep through the night now, but I struggle with the knowledge that I’m on this drug. Any advice?

I had these exact same concerns when I first started taking sleep medication more than ten years ago. I didn’t want to be on an addictive medication; I worried about long-term effects; and I wanted to be able to sleep naturally. Luckily, my doctors gave me some good advice. My LLMD reminded me that without sleep, my body could not heal from Lyme disease, babesiosis, ehrlichiosis, and chronic Epstein-Barr virus. My sleep doctor told me that Western medicine is good for a crisis situation, while Eastern medicine is good for getting at the root cause of a medical issue; both are necessary for optimal health. At my worst points of illness, I had literally been awake for weeks. That was a crisis situation that required narcotic sleep medication.

After a short period, that medication helped restore my system to a point where I could sleep with a non-addictive sleep aid. If I hadn’t taken the narcotic—which I did not become addicted to, despite my worries—I might never have gotten to that point.

The sleep medication I still take is considered non-addictive, though I’m sure I wouldn’t sleep without it. I have been on it under close supervision from my doctor for over a decade, and we have not seen any issues. I have never increased my dose. Would it be nice to be able to sleep naturally? Sure. But I’d prefer to be able to sleep at all, and if that means taking a controlled medication, then that’s what my body needs to function. My doctor calls this effective use of medication, versus abuse.

In addition to medication, I also do neurofeedback, and practice good sleep hygiene: I keep the same sleep and wake times, I shut down screens and do quieter activities before sleep, I don’t read or watch TV in bed, I keep my room quiet and dark, and I nap in the early afternoon. If you’re following good sleep hygiene and following your doctor’s recommendations for safely using medication, I think you can rest easy.

Is the CD-57 test accurate?

The CD-57 test is a marker of natural killer cells and T lymphocytes. In layman’s terms, it is a way of measuring immune function against persistent conditions such as Lyme disease. The IGeneX lab website states, “In cases of chronic diseases, including Lyme disease, the number of CD57 NK cells has been shown to be below normal.” They also recognize, though, that “the utility of this test is controversial…This test measures only the CD57 NK cells and may be useful for patients with known Lyme disease who present with chronic symptoms. If the count is low, the cause of symptoms may be from Borrelia burgdorferi. If the count is normal, the cause may still be from Lyme disease, but it could also be due to some other agent.”

I’m not a medical practitioner and I can’t give medical advice, but I can tell you about my own experience with this test. When I was first sick, my doctor ran this test often, but he was afraid I was getting too connected to the results when the real marker of whether I was getting better was how I was feeling. Since then, we haven’t tested it that often, but we have used it at critical junctures as a way to corroborate clinical evidence of relapse. The first time I thought I was in remission, my CD57 was very low (16; below 60 is considered active infection), but I felt great. Just a few months later, I completely relapsed, after a perfect storm of stress factors and no antibiotic defense enabled spirochetes to flare. The low CD57 marker, then, should have forewarned me that my body was in danger of relapse.

A decade later, I experienced another flare up of symptoms that felt closer to relapse than I’d been in a long time. Again, my CD57 was low. After some tweaks to treatment and additional rest, I started to feel better, and the number came up. So in my experience, the CD57 test has been helpful, but it isn’t a tell-all; I would not recommend using it strictly as a diagnostic tool.

Severe Neuropathic Pain Due to Lyme Podcast

https://danielcameronmd.com/pain-due-to-lyme-disease/

PODCAST: SEVERE NEUROPATHIC PAIN DUE TO LYME DISEASE

man with foot pain due to lyme disease

Hello, and welcome to another Inside Lyme Podcast. I am your host Dr. Daniel Cameron. In this episode, I will be discussing the case of a 36-year-old man with severe neuropathic pain due to Lyme disease.

(Listen here or go to top link)

I first read about this case in the journal Neuromodulation by Karri and colleagues.

A 36-year-old man suffered with a chronic pain syndrome associated with post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). [1] PTLDS is a complication of Lyme disease. Individuals with PTLDS remain ill with pain, cognitive impairment, and fatigue and find it difficult to function.

The patient described severe neuropathic pain in both feet and categorized the pain at a level 10 out of 10 despite treatment with methadone 5 mg every 4 hours as needed. The doctors assumed that the tick-borne infection had resolved and elected not to treat with antibiotics.

Instead, they treated the patient’s symptoms. The pain remained severe despite trials of gabapentin, duloxetine, bupropion and narcotics. “The patient was unhappy with associated adverse effects, especially drowsiness and recurrent constipation,” the authors wrote. [1]

Surgical treatments for pain due to Lyme disease

Two surgical procedures were performed, which improved the patient’s pain. First, the man had a spinal cord stimulator surgically placed in the Dorsal Root Ganglion to mask the pain signals before they reach the brain. The pain dropped to a level 3 out of 10.

A spinal cord stimulator alone does not come cheap. “The Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine published an article estimating the cost per patient of spinal cord stimulator implantation at $32,882 for Medicare patients and $57,896 for Blue Cross Blue Shield, with annual maintenance reaching $5,071 to $21,390,” wrote Laura Dyrda in Becker’s spine review. [2]

The doctors then surgically placed a pulse generator in the right paraspinal-flank area. The patient reported the pain dropping to level 0-2. Narcotics were rarely needed and the man was able to return to work as a health-care provider.

The authors stressed the need for novel approaches to pain management for patients with pain associated with post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome.

Some of the following questions are addressed in the podcast:

  1. Have you seen severe pain in Lyme disease?
  2. What types of pain have you seen in Lyme disease?
  3. What is the treatment for Lyme disease pain?
  4. What is Post Treatment Lyme disease Syndrome (PTLDS)?
  5. What are the symptoms of PTLDS?
  6. What is controversial about PTLDS?
  7. What are your concerns with a surgical approach to Lyme disease pain?
  8. Would additional antibiotics have helped resolve the Lyme disease pain?

Thanks for listening to another Inside Lyme Podcast. You can read more about these cases in my show notes and on my website @DanielCameronMD.com. As always, it is your likes, comments, reviews, and shares that help spread the word about Lyme disease. Until next time on Inside Lyme.

Please remember that the advice given is general and not intended as specific advice as to any particular patient. If you require specific advice, then please seek that advice from an experienced professional.

**Comment**

I am happy to report that after dealing with pain of a magnitude I never knew existed before, I am PAIN FREE.  What got me here?  Antibiotics, herbs, blood ozone, and YEARS of treating this monster.  I want to offer hope that treatment can rid of you all pain or at least get you to a place you can manage it.

It’s truly unfortunate the ‘authorities’ made the decision that this man’s pain had nothing to do with a persistent infection.  The CDC/IDSA is directly behind this bad decision.  Antibiotics and other antimicrobials will not cost near as much as this surgical device, which comes with plenty of its own risks, BTW.

I had one experience where the pharmacist did not notify me they gave me 250mg tablets instead of 500mg so I was inadvertently taking half the dosage.  My pain shot through the roof.  When I finally read the bottle myself and realized the error, within ONE dose, PAIN GONE.  This little exercise taught me the importance of the right dosage.  Dr. Burrascano discusses this along with other treatment nuances: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/12/28/the-history-of-lyme-disease-dr-burrascano/

I highlight the video here:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/02/22/why-mainstream-lyme-msids-research-remains-in-the-dark-ages/

Treatment for this takes finesse, savvy and experience.  Do not trust mainstream medicine with this or you may find yourself getting needless surgeries to mask something that appropriate treatment could resolve.

Moderna Admits: COVID Vaccines Inject an Operating System into Your Body

The New mRNA COVID Vaccines Inject an Operating System into Your Body – Not a Conspiracy Theory, Moderna Admits It

mRNA Platform: Enabling Drug Discovery & Development

modernatx.com

Enabling Drug Discovery & Development

We built Moderna on the guiding premise that if using mRNA as a medicine works for one disease, it should work for many diseases. And, if this is possible – given the right approach and infrastructure – it could meaningfully improve how medicines are discovered, developed and manufactured.

Our Operating System

Recognizing the broad potential of mRNA science, we set out to create an mRNA technology platform that functions very much like an operating system on a computer. It is designed so that it can plug and play interchangeably with different programs. In our case, the “program” or “app” is our mRNA drug – the unique mRNA sequence that codes for a protein.

We have a dedicated team of several hundred scientists and engineers solely focused on advancing Moderna’s platform technology. They are organized around key disciplines and work in an integrated fashion to advance knowledge surrounding mRNA science and solve for challenges that are unique to mRNA drug development. Some of these disciplines include mRNA biology, chemistry, formulation & delivery, bioinformatics and protein engineering.

Our mRNA Medicines – The ‘Software of Life’

When we have a concept for a new mRNA medicine and begin research, fundamental components are already in place.

Generally, the only thing that changes from one potential mRNA medicine to another is the coding region – the actual genetic code that instructs ribosomes to make protein. Utilizing these instruction sets gives our investigational mRNA medicines a software-like quality. We also have the ability to combine different mRNA sequences encoding for different proteins in a single mRNA investigational medicine.

We are leveraging the flexibility afforded by our platform and the fundamental role mRNA plays in protein synthesis to pursue mRNA medicines for a broad spectrum of diseases.

Overcoming Key Challenges

Using mRNA to create medicines is a complex undertaking and requires overcoming novel scientific and technical challenges. We need to get the mRNA into the targeted tissue and cells while evading the immune system.

If the immune system is triggered, the resultant response may limit protein production and, thus, limit the therapeutic benefit of mRNA medicines.

We also need ribosomes to think the mRNA was produced naturally, so they can accurately read the instructions to produce the right protein. And we need to ensure the cells express enough of the protein to have the desired therapeutic effect.

Our multidisciplinary platform teams work together closely to address these scientific and technical challenges.

This intensive cross-functional collaboration has enabled us to advance key aspects of our platform and make significant strides to deliver mRNA medicines for patients.

Why Bill Gates Switched From Microsoft to Vaccines – Extracted from the full film Plandemic, by Mikki Willis.

https://www.bitchute.com/embed/ZUZ1zkxC4GP1/ (Video here) Vaccine information first, then at about 13:00, the video goes into:

  • Gates’ efforts to block out the sun in which calcium carbonate and other materials are released into the atmosphere in an effort to control ‘global warming’. It’s been called a “global genocide experiment” by environmental scientists.
  • He’s also invested over 1 billion dollars in “Earth Now” global surveillance project putting hundreds of satellites into space for the for the 24/7 monitoring of people everywhere.
  • In partnership with MIT, Gates has developed new technology (quantum dot tattoo) allowing vaccines to be injected under your skin along with your medical records. Authorities can access this with an app on a phone.
  • The Gates Foundation has funded Oxitec, the company releasing GMO mosquitoes allowing people to become vaccinated through mosquitoes.  Science Magazine called them “Flying Syringes.”
  • And then there’s the connection with Jeffry Epstein…..
  • Since the COVID-19 is under the PREP Act, if you are injured, “you are on your own.”

Another FREE Webinar: “Genetic Predispositions to EMF Sensitivity and Personalized Interventions”

By B.N. Frank

Last month the National Academies of Sciences reported that American Embassy workers in China and Cuba were injured by microwave radiation exposure.  The cause may not have been from weapons.

Microwave Sickness is also sometimes referred to as “EMF Sensitivity” or Electrosensitivity.  Many doctors don’t evaluate patients for this.  Of course, without an evaluation, patients won’t know whether or not they are suffering from it or not.  Got pets?  Exposure can affect them too!

Clinical Considerations for COVID-19 Vaccines & WHO, Fauci Warn Vaccine May Not Prevent Infection and Transmission

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/info-by-product/clinical-considerations.html

Clinical Considerations for Use of mRNA COVID-19 Injections 

(See link for entire article)

An important consideration for Lyme/MSIDS patients is the fact doctors have seen a reactivation of symptoms after vaccination:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/12/02/scottish-doctor-gives-insight-on-lyme-msids/

 And to balance out the CDC’s continued denial of vaccine harm:  https://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/attacking-ourselves-top-doctors-reveal-vaccines-turn-our-immune-system-against-us

Excerpts for Lyme/MSIDS patients from CDC website:

Immunocompromised persons

Persons with HIV infection or other immunocompromising conditions, or who take immunosuppressive medications or therapies might be at increased risk for severe COVID-19. Data are not currently available to establish vaccine safety and efficacy in these groups.

Persons with autoimmune conditions

No data are currently available on the safety and efficacy of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in persons with autoimmune conditions.

Persons with a history of Bell’s palsy (a symptom of Lyme disease)

Cases of Bell’s palsy were reported following vaccination in participants in both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines clinical trials.

Pregnant people

Pregnant people with COVID-19 have an increased risk of severe illness, including illness resulting in intensive care admission, mechanical ventilation, or death. Additionally, they might be at an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth.  There are currently few data on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, including mRNA vaccines, in pregnant people.

Lactating people

There are no data on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in lactating people or the effects of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines on the breastfed infant or milk production/excretion.

Children and Adolescents

Vaccine safety and efficacy data in this age group are limited. Children and adolescents younger than 16 years of age are not authorized to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at this time.

Contraindications & Precautions

Anaphylactic reactions have been reported following vaccination with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Persons with a history of an immediate allergic reaction (of any severity) to an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components might be at greater risk for anaphylaxis upon re-exposure to either of the currently authorized mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. An immediate allergic reaction to a vaccine or medication is defined as any hypersensitivity-related signs or symptoms such as urticaria, angioedema, respiratory distress (e.g., wheezing, stridor), or anaphylaxis that occur within four hours following administration.

CDC considers a history of the following to be a contraindication to vaccination:

  • Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components
  • Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components (including polyethylene glycol [PEG])*  They should not receive additional doses.
  • Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to polysorbate (due to potential cross-reactive hypersensitivity with the vaccine ingredient PEG)*
Precautions

CDC considers a history of any immediate allergic reaction to any other vaccine or injectable therapy (i.e., intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous vaccines or therapies not related to a component of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines or polysorbate) as a precaution but not a contraindication to vaccination for both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. These persons should be counseled about the unknown risks of developing a severe allergic reaction and balance these risks against the benefits of vaccination. 

Observation periods following vaccination (for persons without contraindications to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines)

CDC recommends an observation period following vaccination with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Persons with a history of an immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a vaccine or injectable therapy and persons with a history of anaphylaxis due to any cause should be observed for 30 minutes. All other persons should be observed for 15 minutes.

Reporting of vaccine adverse events

Adverse events that occur in a recipient following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination should be reported to VAERS. Vaccination providers are required by the Food and Drug Administration to report the following that occur after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination under Emergency Use Authorization:

  • Vaccine administration errors
  • Serious adverse events
  • Cases of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome
  • Cases of COVID-19 that result in hospitalization or death

Reporting is encouraged for any other clinically significant adverse event even if it is uncertain whether the vaccine caused the event. Information on how to submit a report to VAERS is available at https://vaers.hhs.govexternal icon or by calling 1-800-822-7967.

In addition, CDC has developed a new, voluntary smartphone-based tool, v-safe. This tool uses text messaging and web surveys to provide near real-time health check-ins after patients receive COVID-19 vaccination. Reports to v-safe indicating a medically significant health impact, including pregnancy, are followed up by the CDC/v-safe call center to collect additional information to complete a VAERS report, if appropriate.

WHO, Fauci Warn COVID-19 Injections May Not Prevent Infection and Disease Transmission

 
 
 
____________________
 
**Comment**
 
If you mistakenly believe getting this touted injection will solve all your problems and allow you to once again live freely, think again.  It was never about returning to normal.  
 
BTW: HHS is launching a $250M Propaganda campaign with massive ad blitz slated for January:  https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/hhs-readies-vaccine-confidence-campaign-massive-ad-blitz-rollout-january  Excerpt:
 
The Ad Council video leads with Anthony Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who says: “My primary message to healthcare professionals is please get vaccinated. It’s important to protect yourselves, to protect your family, but as important symbolically as healthcare providers to show confidence in the vaccine so that other people in this country follow suit and get vaccinated.”
 
Please remember, this isn’t a “vaccine.”
 
Here is a list of the lies that are being told to the American people through this video (Source):
 
  • LIE #1: “It’s important to note that none of these vaccines can give you COVID19 since they only express a protein from the virus that allows your body’s immune system to generate antibodies.”  FALSE. The fact is, the COVID19 SARS virus has never been fully identified, and the PCR test to test for COVID19 is inaccurate. Even if what they say is true about there not being a COVID19 virus in the vaccine, since they can only at this point identify fragments from the faulty PCR test, who is to say that a “protein” from the virus that affects the body’s immune system would not produce symptoms of COVID19 and test positive?Also, in Israel, which at the time of publication of this article has had the largest amount of people vaccinated with the experimental COVID vaccines, has reported that 240 people have come down with COVID right after being vaccinated. See: 4 People Died and 240 Got COVID19 in Israel After Being Injected with Pfizer Experimental mRNA Vaccine
  • LIE #2: “Because vaccines are given to millions of healthy people to prevent serious diseases, they’re held to very high safety standards. Both the FDA and the CDC have to ensure the safety and efficacy of the vaccines before they are recommended for use in the United States. The COVID19 vaccine, just like all others, are undergoing a rigorous process...”FALSE. The COVID19 vaccines are NOT approved by the FDA like every other vaccine currently in the market, and the typical time it takes to bring a vaccine to market is 5-7 years. (Source.)  The experimental COVID vaccines should NOT be compared to vaccines that have full FDA approval, but to other times a vaccine was rushed to market under emergency use authorization, and the last time that happened was in 1976 with the Swine Flu “epidemic.”  But the “epidemic” never panned out. Only one death and 13 cases were attributed to the Swine Flu, while 25 people died from the vaccine and another 500 or so developed Guillain-Barre syndrome. The vaccine was withdrawn from the market after 10 weeks.  https://healthimpactnews.com/2020/healthcare-workers-in-the-u-s-suffer-serious-reactions-from-illegal-pfizer-experimental-vaccine-others-fake-vaccination-on-tv/
  • LIE #3: “So far, we haven’t seen any trends of serious side effects.”  FALSE. They are trying to be clever by using the word “trends” so that specific cases of serious side effects, including DEATH, can be excused as “abnormal” or not a result of the vaccine.  But they got caught in their own lie here, as even the FDA has stated that they are investigating why so many people are experiencing anaphylactic shock after receiving the vaccine, focusing on the polyethylene glycol component of the vaccine. (Source.)  Not to mention that several people have now died after receiving the experimental vaccines, including one healthcare worker in Portugal, and apparently Nurse Tiffany Dover from Tennessee as well.  There were deaths in the vaccine trials as well, before the FDA EUA was issued. (Source.)

Facts About the Experimental COVID Vaccines they Do NOT Tell You

In addition to their lies, the people in this video are failing to give full disclosure about all the facts regarding these experimental COVD vaccines.

  1. These vaccines are NOT approved by the FDA.  This is stated multiple times in the vaccine guidelines that are supposed to be given to everyone. Therefore, it is illegal to require anyone to take them. They are 100% voluntary, because you are basically participating in the last part of their vaccine trials in order to get FDA approval.
  2. Emergency Use Authorization was issued by the FDA illegally, because other therapeutics to treat COVID19 are available.  Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin are two older drugs already approved by the FDA that tens of thousands of doctors have used successfully to treat and cure COVID19.  In addition, the experimental COVID19 vaccines used the faulty PCR test in their trials, and therefore should never have been approved until accurate testing was used. An Administrative Stay of Action was filed against the FDA, but they simply ignored it. See:  https://healthimpactnews.com/2020/stay-of-action-filed-against-fda-to-stop-approval-of-covid-vaccine-for-using-faulty-pcr-tests-in-trials/
  3. Warnings of Potential Infertility due to These Experimental Vaccines are NOT Being Issued by the FDA.  The UK guidelines for the Pfizer vaccine warn of potential infertility of women and also do NOT recommend pregnant women receive the vaccine, while neither warnings are issued for the same vaccine for Americans. See:  https://healthimpactnews.com/2020/unlike-uk-u-s-fda-allows-pregnant-and-lactating-women-to-receive-experimental-pfizer-covid-vaccine/  Also, the University of Miami is investigating the effects of the COVID-19 vaccines on male fertility. See:  https://www.local10.com/news/local/2020/12/20/study-investigates-effects-of-covid-19-vaccine-on-male-fertility/
  4. The other thing that the U.S. Government and Big Pharma never disclose, is the revolving door between both. Former FDA Chief Scott Gottlieb, for example, now sits on the Board of Directors for Pfizer. See:  https://healthimpactnews.com/2020/former-fda-director-gottlieb-now-pfizer-board-member-secures-1-95billion-for-covid-vaccine/  The CDC, FDA, and HHS have become primarily marketing branches of Big Pharma. And now, the U.S. Government is going to give the corporate media and Big Tech a quarter of a million dollars to try and brainwash you into getting the unapproved experimental COVID vaccine, which is a mere drop in the bucket of the $TRILLIONS of American wealth that has been transferred to Big Pharma in 2020 all in the name of the “pandemic.” Don’t be fooled by their lies! Turn off your TVs and stop watching these Hollywood-style actors and actresses posing as journalists spew forth this dangerous propaganda.
  5. Corporate Media is owned by Big Pharma.  While in years past the primary advertisers funding the corporate media were Wall Street conglomerates heavily invested in tobacco and the oil industry, today it is Big Pharma.  See: https://healthimpactnews.com/2020/brainwashing-the-masses-6-companies-own-almost-all-of-the-media-in-the-u-s-using-medical-doctors-to-sell-their-message/  Protecting their financial interest in the pharmaceutical trade is Big Tech, as now even Google is a pharmaceutical company, and they filter their search results to censor anything that challenges pharmaceutical products like vaccines. See:  https://healthimpactnews.com/2019/vaccine-scientific-denialism-the-vaccine-deep-states-control-over-public-policy-by-ignoring-real-science/
