RE: OT: CDC is full of 'chete

[Guest guest]

Hi Cameron,If you don't mind my asking, what island? My kid s live on Deer Isle, ME and i know that's a tick-thicket. Would like to know what others besides Long island, Block Island, Martha's Vineyard and nantucket (where I got bit) are problematic. I guess anywhere migratory birds land is a likely infestation.Be well,Léna

One of our local newspapers mentioned that the CDC stated that my island had 25 confirmed cases of Lyme disease. This is ludicrous, most of the people I know have had lyme numerous times. In the same article, http://www.mvgazette.com/article.php?36063, doctors estimated 1,100. A pair of doctors treat 50 to 70 acute cases per week. This is an island of about 20,000 people with tons of summer renters and tourists. I can only imagine this small islands toll on the American lyme scene as all these people go back to the cities and wonder why they just aged ten years.

25 is 2.2 percent of 1100. They also claim 20 to 30 thousand cases annually nationally. If they are consistent and we assume 30,000, that would infer 1,320,000 new cases per year.

The article goes on to say that the cdc and most academic centers dont believe chronic lyme exists, but the doctors they interviewed were completely aware of its existance and its severe danger and warn readers of the article.

Hi Cameron,Several years before I finally stumbled onto Rife, I'd met with a woman in Martha's Vineyard with Lyme. Like many of us who now know the perils, she was hair-on-fire full of info and warnings and even said my symptoms were undoubtedly Lyme. She was right, but we don't always want to face things, and all my negative tests kept me from rebelling against 'science' and striking out for my own recovery. I wish now, that I'd listened more carefully, although I would probably have fallen into the abx trap which, for well-established, chronic Lyme, could have just made things ultimately worse.I try to remember this woman when I talk to others who may have it but know nothing about it.Be well,Léna

You called it, Marthas Vineyard. tick soup. the salt keeps the trees down so more underbrush. lots of bogs, swamps and ponds. lots and lots of deer, mice and no fox, lots of skunks and racoons and no ground birds left. I just saw a picture of a kid I know on facebook, his hand was getting black and all swollen with two little scratches and he titled it 'cat scratch fever'. It was interesting, reminded me of a nasty lyme "bullseye". I told him to take it seriously.
