Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 This was found on another Lyme group and is copied with the Author's permission, Rob Cloutier. Sal ---------------- I just wanted to drop a note and say I think the Lyme community has a special opportunity here for the American public to understand us better using the context of the times. Imagine the following ad in a magazine... " Imagine the following: You have tested positive for Anthrax; You are clearly showing symptoms; You live in severe pain and yet some doctors are telling the world your disease isn't serious when in fact it is deadly. They claim you have a 'syndrome' and that you aren't really sick after receiving a tiny fraction of the Cipro you really need. Insurance companies refuse to pay for your Cipro because of the lies these doctors are telling. The CDC downplays the real danger of Anthrax because they don't want to cause an alarm in the public - even if they should be warned. On top of all that, your doctor is having his or her license revoked because they are curing people with the correct dose of Cipro, thus proving the liars wrong. Scared? Angry? Frustrated?... ....Welcome to the life of a Lyme Disease patient. There are thousands of us. Remember, getting bit by a tick is as easy as opening an envelope.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 This is an incredible idea....its just a shame that no one has the guts or money to go ahead and do it.....You'd think one of the lyme orgs would channel some money this way but its too controversial for them. I remember in the 80's when the lyme foundation actually ran commercials warning folk of the dangers of ld....now you hear nothing....nada.....
