Suspecting Lyme disease
// Filed in: Causes of Lyme Disease
Lyme's ability to mimic hundreds of other conditions complicates diagnosis of the disease. When is a skin rash just a skin rash? When it is cause for concern about Lyme disease? What types of rashes are suspect? Clinically diagnosing Lyme can be a complex process requiring intuitive, educated, Lyme literate physicians who won't simply dismiss seemingly unrelated symptoms.
Lyme research ignored by mainstream medical community
// Filed in: Lyme Disease in the news
I recently interviewed Dr. Andrew Wright near Manchester, in the UK, who brought up an interesting fact about Lyme disease and the way it is contracted and spread. He cited a study that was done in New Guinea that found a majority of the population, 70%, were infected with Lyme disease. Since there are no ticks in the area, Dr. Wright and other medical practitioners and researchers wonder how these people are becoming infected.

Definitive Lyme test and Samento
// Filed in: Lyme Disease Treatment
Tests for Lyme seem to be deliberately confusing. Is there a definitive test or isn't there?
Dr. JoAnne Whitaker, Eleanor Fort and Lida Mattmann, PhD, have patented one. The Q-RiBb, which tests for antigens instead of antibodies is definitive because it locates actual Lyme bacteria in the body. Through the Bowen Research Lab in Florida, these physician/researchers have tested hundreds of people and found Lyme bacteria to be the cause of numerous misdiagnoses, among them MS, ALS, Parkinson's disease, fibromyalgia, CFIDS, rheumatoid arthritis and cardiac arrythmias. Dr. Whitaker has reason to suspect that Lyme is a pandemic that is being repressed by the medical-industrial complex.
People who have been misdiagnosed and subsequently treated for Lyme disease are getting well. The Lyme pathogen is hardy, tenacious and difficult to kill, but medical doctors with the courage to help their patients heal are finding holistic protocols that work. Samento, Cumanda and other Peruvian herbs, which have only become available in the US since 2001, are rising in popularity among the Lyme population, many of whom are quite sophisticated in finding ways to heal from a disease that the conventional medical community is too frightened to acknowledge.
