The letter in the link above has been signed by doctors back in May yet restrictions are only getting tighter.
The letter points out the triage algorithm and that millions are at level red – but not from COVID. These patients are people who aren’t getting regular screening and health care due to the exaggerated response to a virus that will run its course no matter what we do.
Level red:
150,000 who normally would have a new cancer detected but won’t
millions missing routine dental care
suicide hotline calls increased 600%
preventable cases of stroke, heart attack, and child abuse missed
Level yellow:
liquor sales increased 300-600%
cigarette sales increased
rent hasn’t been paid
family relationships are frayed
well-child checkups missed
Level green:
currently solvent but at risk should economic conditions worsen
Continued shut-down means hundreds of millions will downgrade a level. Downstream effects are being massively under-estimated and under-reported.
Lyme disease almost ended Aaron’s life; he was on the edge of doing the unthinkable because of his condition. If it were not for his young daughter, and the hope she gave him, Aaron might not be here today. Even though he wanted to end it all, he wanted to walk his daughter down the aisle more. Now, Aaron is looking forward to a bright future with his daughter.
Aaron suspects he contracted Lyme disease from tick bites he received while perusing his work as a wildlife photographer. In 2006 Aaron began to notice symptoms. He began to slow down and work was getting harder and harder. By 2008 the fatigue was undeniable and by 2010 Lyme disease had all but destroyed Aaron’s life. His symptoms had increased and multiplied; he was experiencing terrible muscle and joint pain, swelling, fatigue, and brain fog. Aaron had to quit working and was bedridden for two years while he desperately looked for answers.
He made the-all-to-familiar and frustrating rounds-jumping from doctor to doctor treatment to treatment–with no results. Eventually he found a Doctor in Missouri that diagnosed him with Lyme disease, and he was started on oral antibiotics. Aaron began to feel better but this only lasted 4-6 weeks until he went to Envita Medical Center.

Unfortunately, I think nearly every patient has been to this breaking point. Lyme/MSIDS will sift you like wheat.
I’m thankful that there are these testimonials. When you become side-lined by a complex, misunderstood illness that mainstream medicine frankly denies, you question your own sanity. It puts you in a horribly isolated place where even family and friends don’t believe you. Patients need to hear from others on this same albeit different journey. I highly recommend getting to a local support group.
Good, effective treatment is imperative – and the sooner the better. If you suspect tick-borne illness, please contact your local Lyme support group today for help. Mainstream medicine is woefully uneducated about tick-borne illness. Save yourself time, money, and anguish and get to a Lyme literate doctor with experience.
When the federal coronavirus task force took the stage in March, the country was put into a state of perpetual, cascading emergencies. The public was left in the dark about what they could do to overcome infections. Instead of aid and guidance, the public was conditioned to feel helpless to a mysterious pathogen, as visions of overcrowded hospitals beckoned state-wide shutdowns across the country. At the behest of the CDC, most governors ordered everyone to stay home and fear human contact, as hundreds of millions of dollars were funneled to diagnostics, contact tracing, and vaccine companies.

Health professionals who dare to treat Lyme/MSIDS have been dealing with this for over 40 years. My own doctor spent $50K to protect his practice from this sort of witch hunt.
Key Quote:
FDA and the FTC have already sent out hundreds of warning letters threatening to shut down doctors, clinics and companies that help people prevent and overcome infectious disease such as covid-19. These doctors are being accused of: illegally advertising nutritional productsand anti-viral phyto-chemicals that can reduce inflammation and boost the human immune response by stopping viral attachment and viral replication.
Doctors are only protected if they are handing out pharmaceuticals and vaccines (which have plenty of adverse effects) that are “FDA approved.” As the article points out this approval process is very costly – which is why many smaller companies can not afford this stamp of approval. A great example of this is IGeneX labs, which is what many Lyme literate doctors use for more sensitive tick-borne illness testing. The CDC has bad-mouthed this CLIA-approved lab for years – even going as far as calling it a “home-brewed” lab on its website at one point.
Again, our “authorities” care more about their lucrative patents on drugs and vaccines than they do patient health.
For this piece, we have to enter the official world (of the insane)—where everyone is quite sure a new coronavirus was discovered in China and the worthless diagnostic tests mean something and the case numbers are real and meaningful.
Once we execute all those absurd maneuvers, we land square in the middle of yet another scandal—this time at our favorite US agency for scandals, the CDC.
The Atlantic, May 21, has the story, headlined, “How could the CDC make that mistake?”
I’ll give you the key quotes, and then comment on the stark inference The Atlantic somehow failed to grasp.
“We’ve learned that the CDC is making, at best, a debilitating mistake: combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus…The agency confirmed to The Atlantic on Wednesday that it is mixing the results of viral [PCR] and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons.”

Most telling quote:
CDC? Mistake?The agency is certainly incompetent. But that’s just the beginning of the story. The only time they say there is no danger is when they’re lying about the effects of vaccines.
Boom.
Anyone who reads the information on this website understands clearly, I’m not a fan of the CDC. The reason is they lie. They flat-out lie, deceive, and have severe conflicts of interest. In fact, I’ll go as far to say that when they say something, the truth is typically the polar opposite.
Trump Administration Strips C.D.C. of Control of Coronavirus Data
Hospitals have been ordered to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and send all patient information to a central database in Washington, raising questions about transparency.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration has ordered hospitals to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and send all Covid-19 patient information to a central database in Washington beginning on Wednesday. The move has alarmed health experts who fear the data will be politicized or withheld from the public. (See link for article)
The CDC is directly behind the mishandling of Lyme disease. Time for this organization to step down and get a major overhaul if not eliminated entirely.
