Guest guest Posted August 6, 1999 Report Share Posted August 6, 1999 No Kay, Kennedy held senate hearings in 1993 relating to Lyme issues, and Dr Burrascano testified at the hearing. Kennedy was on our side, not sure if he still is though, so you can write him. The rumor is that Dr Dattwyler is the instigator of the investigation of Dr B, but this cannot be verified as true, as the Office of Professional Misconduct will not reveal the source. I am not sure how Dattwyler's name came up, but it has. Hope this explains better, Hugs, Marta NJ >From: " Kay " <b10g7@...> > >it has been mentioned a few times that kennedy initiated the doctor >investigations. > >could someone please supply me with some info? > >i am in massachusetts and want to " get into it " with him. > >thanks, >kay > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I wonder how many times Senator Kennedy has been approached by special interest groups representing alternative/experimental medicine asking for funding and support and been turned away due to his allegiance to the big pharmaceutical companies? How many celebrities have the members here emailed asking for help to fund/promote research LDN? The answer is many and not one has stepped forward. Not one. Oprah, Montel , etc. I am sure their handlers advise strongly against it. Like biting the hand that feeds them. Kennedy can go to his 'trusted' mainstream doctors and be treated with conventional medicine, something I am sure he has championed his entire political life. LDN is for the courageous. > > Dear Friends, > > Does anyone know a friend, worker, near relative of the Kennedy's? LDN might truly be able to help him if he knew of the drug.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Woo Hoo ART! Well said. Sad, but true, I'm afraid, however. I love your last line especially: " LDN is for the courageous " I think that should be the slogan of every LDN website! BRAVO! > > > > Dear Friends, > > > > Does anyone know a friend, worker, near relative of the Kennedy's? > LDN might truly be able to help him if he knew of the drug.
