Lyme Conspiracy
After you read this, please visit the lyme disease Audio Network. The lyme disease Conspiracy. by Joseph J. Burrascano, Jr., MD
http://www.jersey.net/~joebur/conspire.htm

Extractions: Reprinted from Senate Committee Hearing on Lyme Disease August 5, 1993 There is a core group of university-based Lyme disease researchers and physicians whose opinions carry a great deal of weight. Unfortunately many of them act unscientifically and unethically. They adhere to outdated, self-serving views and attempt to personally discredit those whose opinions differ from their own. They exert strong ethically questionable influence on medical journals, which enables them to publish and promote articles that are badly flawed. They work with government agencies to bias the agenda of consensus meetings, and have worked to exclude from these meetings and scientific seminars those with alternate opinions. They behave this way for reasons of personal or professional gain, and are involved in obvious conflicts of interest. This group promotes the idea that Lyme is a simple, rare illness that is easy to avoid, difficult to acquire, simple to diagnose, and easily treated and cured with 30 days or less of antibiotics. The truth is that Lyme is the fastest growing infectious illness in this country after AIDS, with a cost to society measured in the billions of dollars. It can be acquired by anyone who goes outdoors, very often goes undiagnosed for months, years, or forever in some patients, and can render a patient chronically ill and even totally disabled despite what this core group refers to as "adequate" therapy. There have been deaths from Lyme disease.

Extractions: Lyme Disease What is Lyme disease? Lyme disease is a bacterial disease transmitted by infected ticks. It was first recognized in the United States in 1975 after a mysterious outbreak of arthritis near Old Lyme, Connecticut. Since then, reports of Lyme disease have increased dramatically, and the disease has become an important public health problem. How does a person get Lyme disease? Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of an infected deer tick, which also is known as the black-legged tick. (Not all ticks carry the bacterium, and a bite does not always result in the development of Lyme disease. However, since it is impossible to tell by sight which ticks are infected, it is important to avoid tick bites whenever possible.) Immature deer ticks can be very small, about the size of the head of a pin; adult deer ticks are slightly larger. Both can be infected with and transmit Lyme disease. Deer ticks acquire the bacteria by feeding primarily on small mammals infected with the bacteria, particularly the white-footed mouse. (Domestic animals can become infected with the Lyme disease bacteria and some may develop arthritis, e.g., dogs, cattle and horses.) (click image for a larger view)

Extractions: Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans . If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (e.g., rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks; laboratory testing is helpful in the later stages of disease. Most cases of Lyme disease can be treated successfully with a few weeks of antibiotics. Steps to

Extractions: Overview Lyme disease is a progressive, systemic illness that is caused by bacteria ( Borrelia burgdorferi ) and is usually transmitted by the bite of an infected deer tick. Infection may result in flu-like symptoms (e.g., malaise, fever, headache, fatigue, muscle pain) and the characteristic "bulls eye" rash . If left untreated, it may cause arthritis and affect the heart and central nervous system. Lyme disease is treated with antibiotics. Incidence and Prevalence According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 23,000 cases of Lyme disease occur each year in the United States. It is endemic (prevalent) throughout the wooded coastal regions of the Northeast, the Great Lakes, and the Pacific Northwest. In the Northeast and Great Lakes regions, the disease is more prevalent from May to August. In the Pacific Northwest, it is more prevalent from January to May.

Extractions: in Connecticut Lyme disease was first recognized in Lyme, Connecticut in 1977 as Lyme arthritis (1). Since then, Lyme disease has become the most commonly reported vectorborne disease in the United States (2). In 1982, systematic surveillance for Lyme disease was initiated by the CDC (3). In Connecticut, Lyme disease has been a physician reportable disease since 1987 and a laboratory reportable finding since 1998. Connecticut has maintained the highest incidence of Lyme disease of any state in the nation since 1992. Infection is caused by the bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi . The Ixodes scapularis (black-legged or deer) tick is responsible for transmitting Lyme disease through its bite. Nymphal ticks are the primary source for transmitting the bacteria because they are so tiny (less than 2mm) they go unnoticed and are not removed. Studies conducted by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station found the percentage of deer ticks carrying B. burgdorferi

The deer tick, which normally feeds on the white-footed mouse, the white-tailed deer, other mammals, and birds, is responsible for transmitting Lyme disease bacteria to humans in the northeastern and north-central United States.

http://www.amm.co.uk/newamm/files/factsabout/fa_lyme.htm

Extractions: The facts about... Lyme disease is an illness which can affect the skin and in some patients the nervous system, joints or heart. It is caused by a spiral shaped bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. Man and other animals can be infected with the organism but not everyone develops symptoms. Many infected people have no symptoms at all. Some patients develop a reddish-pink rash called erythema migrans, which spreads out from the site of a bite after three to thirty days. Patients may be feverish and have some enlargement of the lymph glands near to the site of the rash. They may also complain of aches and pains and feel very tired. The rash may spread to cover quite a large area of skin but it will gradually clear starting from the centre outwards, even if not treated with antibiotics. The rash usually fades after three to four weeks, although in some patients it may last much longer. Treatment shortens the duration of the rash, and should prevent later complications. Much less frequently there may be nervous system complications such as facial palsy, which is a weakness or paralysis of muscles on one or both sides of the face. Other neurologic problems include mild meningitis, abnormal sensations on the skin (described by some patients as feeling like sunburn), and numbness, weakness or pains in different parts of the body. These complications may occur months or even years after the bite of an infected tick and some patients with these and other complications do not remember having been bitten or having had an erythema migrans rash earlier.

Lyme disease was first recognized in North America in 1975 when doctors discovered an unusual number of people with arthritis in the town of Lyme, Connecticut, U.S.A. The disease is caused by bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi . Most often these bacteria cause a mild illness that is sometimes accompanied by a peculiar skin rash. In some cases, however, the bacteria can spread to the joints, heart, and brain and cause serious problems. It can also cross from mother to an unborn child and, in rare cases, cause birth defects. Lyme disease is an occupational concern for people who work outdoors in certain areas infested with ticks. It affects people differently most often going unnoticed but sometimes it causes serious problems. If left untreated, it can cause disability.
