Madison Area Lyme Support Group

Interview with Dr. Horowitz

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2015/05/06/lyme-disease-debate-can-condition-be-chronic/

Excellent interview with Dr. Horowitz.  In under 10 minutes he explains the nuts and bolts of why Lyme Disease or MSIDS (multi systemic infectious disease syndrome) is so hard to treat.

The ticks are out in force here in Wisconsin.  Please take precautions and use permethrin spray on your clothing and do tick checks often.  If you must put chemicals on your skin use Deet but be cautious as it is toxic.  Remember to remove ticks carefully by getting tweezers or a tick removal device as close to the mouth parts as possible and gently pulling without squeezing or twisting as those actions will enable the stomach contents to be released into you.

Next Meeting: June 6 – Bioidentical Hormones

From 1:30-4:30 we are meeting in the Pinney Library to hear Kathy Lynch, PharmD, from Women’s International Pharmacy in Madison, speak on the use of bioidentical hormones, and other alternative therapies in the treatment of Lyme disease symptoms. A lifelong proponent of alternative medicine and holistic health, she will focus on chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, the use of low dose naltrexone for pain relief, and other areas of interest.

Please  bring your questions to ask Kathy after her talk. We hope to also tape and post this discussion so that everyone can benefit.

See you there!
