Guest guest Posted November 29, 1999 Report Share Posted November 29, 1999 Hi Pepipony, Every little bit helps so please keep us posted on what you can learn. I was just telling my husband over the breakfast table how studies that show persistent infection are ignored, the researchers all fight for the grant money, and the little guys have a tough time getting studies set up to begin with. Hugs, Marta NJ -----Original Message----- From: Rodney A .Metzler <rod@...> -- Hi ya'll have a good turkey day? here is why I am writing. What we need is more research into why Lyme is being shoved under the rug both medically and in the government. Along with our stories on what Lyme has done to us and our families we need to let media know the reason behind it. Do they know this is not a virus, but a spirochete that will form cysts and 'hide'? I will do more looking into this and my sister who is a R.N in R.I. and works for a neurologist who treats Lyme but wont or cant get really involved (cant say I dont blame him) If we do our own investigative reporting and back it up with the facts this might help our fight, think about it where will reporters get their info!? At 'steere' sites. good luck ya'll and god bless Pepipony Well I know ya'll already got this letter but I need to add to it. I thought one thing and wrote another! My sister will help me with this research so will her Dr. I know this has probably already been done before and said before but my mind forgets sometimes.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 1999 Report Share Posted November 29, 1999 Hi Reid, So glad we have you on our side, I am impressed with how you help our cause. I can't help but think if you had not become ill with this damned bug, you may have had a wonderful career as an honest politician.

We're in midwest & no $$$$ to travel. A long-term lymie " angel " told me his wife gets tremendous relief from lyme aches & pains (including the stabbing kind) by taking a round magnet (don't think " shape " is important) - finding NORTH side of magnet (compass will point to NORTH at north side of magnet), then placing north side next to skin. Magnets have been shown to increase circulation, decrease inflammation, etc. (Even local drug stores sell little magnet bracelets & " sticky " magnetic patches, although I believe these are not quite strong enough to really do much good - from what I've been told & have read.) Also, been told magnetic insoles are SUPER! Have not tried them yet. Just a suggestion. Thanks again for all you do, Reid. You're awesome! Blessings & velcro hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've hit yet another homerun for lyme victims! VBG! Surely, by now, you've surpassed Sammy & Mark for " this season's record! " VBG!

Guest guest Posted November 29, 1999 Report Share Posted November 29, 1999 Reid, Any advice on how to get my letters to the editor printed?? I've emailed a few, with no responses. Do you think it would be more effective to hand write them and deliver them in person?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 1999 Report Share Posted November 29, 1999 Reid, would you mind emailing me one of yours so I can get an idea of what to say in mine. I have written what I thought was short and to the point, and mainly stated that I wanted the public to be aware of misinformation on Lyme, do you think maybe I shouldn't have said that part? Thanks, sorry for asking for so much help. But once I'm successful then I can be the one that helps the next person asking. Thanks again.
