In 1980, the government started allowing patents on living organisms such as pathogens. Perfect timing for scientists to make a mad dash for parts of newly-discovered Lyme and keep the information locked away to protect future profits.
These so-called experts continue to research Lyme disease with federal funds, then start private firms and obtain patents. They write guidelines for insurance companies and HMOs so that the disease doesn’t exist (yet) or require coverage. Not only do Lyme victims spend hundreds of thousands for medical treatment, but they can’t be covered for Lyme!
The Biggest Blow In The Lyme Cover-up
The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), made up of a board of doctors, created within themselves an authority to write the rule book on all things Lyme. It is the absolute bane of both the Lyme community and conscientious doctors everywhere.
They are the ones who decided that there is no such affliction as chronic Lyme, that it’s easy to treat and cure, and will be cured within two weeks of oral antibiotics or else the patient has another infirmity. Doctors must follow their diagnosis and treatment guidelines or face punishment from state medical boards. Patients’ proof of cure never sways the boards – doctors broke the rules.
Out of the 400 references listed in the back of the guidelines, over half of them are directed at articles that they and their teams wrote. They have closed the door on any outside alternative medical research.
In turn, these are the very guidelines insurance companies consult to deny medical treatment coverage. The majority of complaints that lead to doctors’ suspensions come from insurance companies, not from patients or other physicians. The insurance companies wish to rid doctors who cost them the most.
The unholy trinity of insurance companies, Lyme guidelines written by establishment insiders, and Big Pharma corporate control, restricts consumer choice in medical care and extorts these patients.
While the IDSA acknowledges post-Lyme syndrome, they audaciously attribute it to the “aches and pains of daily living,” and that poor treatment results are due to prior traumatic stress. Are they really that dumb?
No, but they are cold blooded and know exactly the nature of the disease and the destructive human toll that it often takes.
They should know…after all, they have a lot invested in it…
Connecticut Attorney General, Richard Blumenthal, investigated the ISDA panel members for possible violation of antitrust laws and conflicts of interest.
Of the 14 panel authors of the first edition guidelines, 6 of them or their universities held patents on Lyme or its co-infections, 4 received funding from Lyme or co-infection test kit manufacturers, 4 were paid by insurance companies to write Lyme policy guidelines or consult in Lyme legal cases, and 9 received money from Lyme disease vaccine manufacturers. Some of the authors were involved in more than one conflict of interest.
So why are guideline authorities taking money from companies who have a direct interest in specific outcomes? When will doctors speak up?
So How Does This Cover-up Saga Continue?
Corporate media keeps trumpeting the lies. CBS News recently published a story called “Lyme Disease Lies – And Truths.” Each segment features a FACT OR FICTION tidbit, which is really a confusing mash up rife with deception. They pull their information from the IDSA and Dr. John Halperin who wrote a book better used for toilet paper called Lyme Disease: An Evidence-based Approach.
The article calls the following people liars: those who claim to have “chronic” Lyme disease; those who believe they still have Lyme, because they test positive for antibodies after treatment; those who believe their brain fog results from Lyme; the Lyme “advocacy groups” that claim anyone actually died from it; anyone who claims this syphilis-like disease is spread sexually; and those who believe lengthier care is needed.
Dr. Halperin states that Lyme is benign, easy to treat, no one has died from it, patients are rarely hospitalized, and brain infection from Lyme is rare.
Doctors like Leo Galland are stepping out with more truth. His article on Huffington Post discloses more about chronic Lyme infection. At the bottom of his article, you will see that the majority of the 500 comments are Lyme victims sharing their nightmare stories.
Organizations that pretended to protect public health with no commercial interests (CDC, NIH, Universities) have partnered with Big Pharma and are not in the business of seeing anyone healed.
Maybe generations from now when there is enough of an outcry -- when many have lived ill and died -- some drug company will try to be the hero of the day and come up with a poisonous drug to treat Lyme.
Even that scenario is highly unlikely, as chronic Lyme is not allowed even to exist. But when it does, there will probably be a vaccine waiting for you.
So, in the meantime, Lyme victims serve as a tragic host for the parasitical medical establishment, lining corporate coffers until the patient finally bleeds out.
The real ticks (the poli-ticks) are the crux of the message.
Please watch the trailer below for Under Our Skin, for more mind-blowing information. The full movie is available on NetFlix. Find out about the doctor who discovered an actual link between the Lyme spirochetes and disorders like dementia, Alzeimer’s, M.S. and more. One alternative health practitioner has not seen a single M.S., ALS or Parkinson’s patient in the last five years who did not test positive for Borrelia burgdorferi.
You will witness the families grieving over their dead loved ones. Lyme Disease is listed on their death certificates.
You will hear from doctors who were bullied, investigated, and ousted for attempting to actually treat Lyme, usually with intravenous and lengthier antibiotics. After all, isn’t that how other infectious diseases are conventionally treated – Tuberculosis, HIV, Hepatitis?
Conscientious doctors have to treat Lyme secretly if they want to help their patients without losing their license. They have to tell their patients, “Don’t mention Lyme.” How’s that for a cover-up?
Chances are, you know someone who is manifesting the aforementioned symptoms and is battling the neverending circle of finding proper diagnosis and treatment. They may or may not remember a tick bite. Since the truth about Lyme is so stifled it is more than likely spread through blood transfusions (as with Babesiosis) and shared between couples (as shown in Under Our Skin).
They most likely have been diagnosed with one of the mysterious “incurables” like MS, ALS, or even early Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. The latter two are increasingly diagnosed in younger patients.
Or perhaps they were dismissed as crazy and bear the misery of not knowing that they actually suffer from Lyme. Regardless, they suffer and believe they must wait until research catches up to them before they die.

"Lyme Disease man made on Plumb Island? Jesse Ventura"
Yep Lyme Disease is OFTEN only a symptom of mycoplasma infection. Much of the work weaponizing mycoplasma was done on Plum Island starting in 1970.
If you or a loved one have Lyme please get tested for mycoplasma.
http://healthyprotocols.com/2_mycoplasma.htm
Read Lab 257 for the info on Plum Island. Need help..........see ILLADS and read Bryan Rosners books. With love, a sufferer of Lyme, Babesia and Bartonella. There are so many of us. THANKS ACTIVIST POST!
Mycoplasma – Often Overlooked In Chronic Lyme
Disease
by Scott Forsgren
Those of us with chronic Lyme disease are quite familiar with the names of the better known Lyme co‐infections. Babesia, Bartonella, and Ehrlichia have become everyday words. As much as we would like to rid ourselves of these illnessproducing pathogens, they have become a part of our daily struggle to regain a sense of health and wellness. Unfortunately, these are not the only co‐infections seen in chronic Lyme disease. For some reason, Mycoplasma infections are not only lesser known by patients, but seemingly often overlooked by doctors as well. It is important for us, as patients, to educate ourselves on the topic of Mycoplasma and to ask our practitioners how we are being evaluated and treated for these infections.

Lyme Disease is a bio-weapon.
The [Lyme Disease] treatment denial experiment is being orchestrated on a daily basis on a grand scale in a sophisticated manner at a very high level through the enforcement of treatment guidelines33 and the selective NIH funding of guideline authors' research. (This body of sponsored research gives the treatment guidelines undeserved credibility through an artificially contrived appearance of scientific consensus by manufactured thought-leaders34.) Through the increasing reliance on treatment guidelines, which often end up being "non-treatment" guidelines, the medical system can be used not only to conduct unethical experiments but also to wage biological warfare against an entire population through treatment denial. Indeed, it is not far-fetched to call this the "institutionalization of biological warfare35." Biological Warfare Experiment on American Citizens Results in Spreading Pandemic
"The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it.'' Joseph Mengele, conductor of Nazi medical experiments, Note Operation Paper Clip brought many of Mengele's team to the good old USA. Lyme Disease is but one result.
"The number of Steere camp Lyme researchers with a background in the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) and/or biowarfare research is too numerous to be pure coincidence. Two scientists who have played a central role in the Lyme story, Barbour and Klempner, have been placed in charge of new biowar super-labs set up in the aftermath of 9-11, where they are aided by some of their Steerite colleagues. Others, while not in charge of super-labs, are nevertheless in receipt of substantial grants for biowarfare research." Elena Cook, "Lyme Is A Biowarfare Issue"
In addition to weapons that could kill quickly, the Pentagon was interested in such weapons that could incapacitate57. The staggering benefits of Lyme disease as an incapacitating infection were summarized by researcher Mark Sanborne: "Lyme's ability to evade detection on routine medical tests, its myriad presentations which can baffle doctors by mimicking 100 different diseases, its amazing abilities to evade the immune system and antibiotic treatment, would make it an attractive choice to bioweaponeers looking for an incapacitating agent. Lyme's abilities as 'the great imitator' might mean that an attack could be misinterpreted as simply a rise in the incidence of different, naturally occurring diseases such as autism, MS, lupus and chronic fatigue syndrome (ME). Borrelia's inherent ability to swap outer surface proteins, which may also vary widely from strain to strain, would make the production of an effective vaccine extremely difficult. ... Finally, the delay before the appearance of the most incapacitating symptoms would allow plenty of time for an attacker to move away from the scene, as well as preventing people in a contaminated zone from realizing they had been infected and seeking treatment58." Biological Warfare Experiment on American Citizens Results in Spreading Pandemic
"It's possible to see the modern history of Lyme as a string of events with an EIS member at every crucial node." Elena Cook, "Lyme Is A Biowarfare Issue"
"Never would I have deemed it possible that a group of medical people would work so vigorously and with such malice against a group of desperately ill people …. But, here it is." Lyme victim/activist (requested anonymity for fear of reprisal)
"So the national agency that was supposed to be protecting the public from a deadly disease was actually in favor of letting it go untreated for experimental reasons and worked with prestigious medical societies to that end!"

It staggers the mind that so many highly intelligent, American-schooled people can spend their lives creating bio-weapons to use on their fellow citizens. One has to wonder what they are thinking and why they agree to wage wars on Americans. Did they embrace eugenic principles in medical school? They are murdering people and causing great suffering, and being paid to do so by their victims. And just saying that will get you labeled a "conspiracy nut." It's maddening, or maybe just plain insane.
It's all about gold. You stop working in our mines. You started to think. Yet we fill your cup, so that you might drink up. Soon you will go back to mines to dig our gold.
I have had Lyme for 13 years... in and out of the hospital with 24/7 nausea...dry heaves, etc. So many doctors said I should see a psychiatrist, neurologist, etc. When I was admitted to the hospital this doctor told me they did every kind of test and could find nothing wrong and I could go home. NO ONE could diagnose me until I found an LLMD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor). I not only have Chronic Lyme Disease in every cell and tissue but I also have Mycoplasma. I have been on different kinds of antibiotics but found that the best rememdy has been Colloidal Silver....Two oz. in the am and 2 oz. in the pm. My older son has been disabled for 20+ years and finally went to the LLMD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor) and has been misdiagnosed all those years with horrible symptoms. He too is getting better by taking Professional Strength Liquid Oregano Oil....He buys empty capsules and will use 6 drops in each capsule 2 x day and both of our blood work every two months for ALL the different bacterias that Lyme carries is improving. PEOPLE realize that ALL SUCKING INSECTS CARRY LYME. Also, you can find the site on the internet and make your own colloidal silver. Great machine and easy to do. Do NOT buy the bottled ones as the PPM is like a 5. I have tested several bottled from health stores, etc., and there are NO STANDARDS so make your own AND GET BETTER. There are many GOOD LYME sites for any of you who are ill like I have been. It is true that this is a bioweapon. I worked with a nurse that lived near Plum Island, NY and told me about the government place 10 years ago. Plum Island is right across the river from Lyme, CT. NO COINCIDENCE!! They also released in the NY subways, insects that were given the Nile Virus and look where we are today. Is this what they call POPULATION CONTROL?? It has taken a year to get where I am today with the proper health. With Lyme you also will have Candidia. The Oil of Oregano kills that too very nicely. On the Internet go to North American Herb & Spice. They also have a book called "The Cure is In the Cupboard" by Dr. Cass Ingram. It kills bacterias and viruses.
I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts the recent bed bug plague in NY is a new infection vector for Lyme.
In my experience, the ticks you must watch out for are the flat light brown ones said to originate in Mexico.
To --CURE-- Lyme I used Silver100 and Allicin/ AlliUltra. It took 19 days and cost me under $100. The sad, sad reality is that if you use the American Mafia's treatments and they don't work, you are as good as dead.
Get it?
I believe with all my heart that everyone who was a part of weaponizing Lyme and inflicting it on their fellow man will experience every painful moment of every victim in the eternities. I should say that I wouldn't wish Lyme on my worst enemy, but I do. The people who did that are my enemies, they have filled my life with unending misery, and I wish them the pains of Hell. And I think God is going to deliver on that one!
I wish I would have known about this before. My dog died of a chronic lyme disease. I pulled a tick from her and it had some flesh on it. I tried all kinds of anitbiotics, etc. I was giving her iv fluids, etc. I took her to 4 vets none of them could figure anything out. I even tried some antibiotic specifically for lyme for her. It gave her a bunch of seizures so I stopped that. She was 21 years old and in remarkable health for her age. Still went on walks, etc. She had just made it through dental surgery being "put under" a few months before she got ill. Had 8 bad teeth pulled! I'm glad she lived a great long life, but I am baffled and struck by how fast this disease can take over and kill. Not a day goes by I don't think about it all. She died at home naturally with me.
I will never never never take a dog (if I find a friend again) to a vet again other than for a special surgery. They just did not care about her because of her age. All they would say is ......."she is shutting down". I am angry at myself for going to all of them too. I knew better. I knew they would react that way. I just did it out of desperation seeing my dog dying in front of me.
i had it bad back in 01. spent 10k of my own money because i had to go from one dr to another to continue my self prescribed extended treatment. which meant i had to have all the tests done over and over at $500. a pop. none of them denied i may have had Lyme(the pic i happened to take of the rash when it was there convinced them all)but none of them would keep me on meds for more than 2 weeks. because of my intense research on the internet, i kept myself on doxycycline and several other anti-biotics, pro- biotics, and anti-fungals for 4 months. i felt like a new person. i had mental focus,strength,and energy like i hadn't had in a long time(i think that i contracted it several years earlier when i was in Central America while serving in the army). it's been over 10 years now and i still feel GREAT! allopathic establishment quacks aren't real Doctors.
If you have chronic lyme, it may help to take 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide in distilled water. It is cheap and worth trying. If interested, look up food grade hydrogen peroxide.
On a Federal Level, part of the solution is known as the "Data Quality Act". Basically says a regulatory agency cannot cherry pick the data they use to create rules and regulations. All the available data has to be considered.
"Out of the 400 references listed in the back of the guidelines, over half of them are directed at articles that they and their teams wrote. "
i've had late stage lyme for around 20 years. around 3 years ago i started ozone therapy and my life changed dramatically. now i keep the symptoms minimal or non-existent with low level daily hydrogen peroxide/o3 and the paleolithic diet. no starches, no sugar, no grains, no dairy. only veggies and meat. i can work out again. my brain is clear. i'm always in a good mood. it's a way of life.

Scott: If you should ever encounter another animal with Lyme, look for a holistic vet. I have friends that have been through the same thing and the holistic vet is the ONLY one that was able to pull these animals through. Don't get hung up with the regular vets as they will just have them ingesting the chemicals. Sorry about your loss. It will never happen again if you remember this type of vet to go to.
Hi,
Today our dog started having classic symptoms of Lyme. After a $400 trip to the vet, the tesst for Lyme was negative. However, I am not convinced. We live in a very wooded area and pull ticks off her all the time even with tick prevention. i asked the vet if there was a chance it could be a false negetive but she said no, I know in humans this happens alot. I'm very worried about her. She is not just a friend to us but like a child. We have no kids of our own and we love with all out hearts. We would be devistated if we lost her, and will do anything to help her. Is it possible for a dog to test negitive and are there any holistic ways to help a dog if they have Lyme? Thank You,
Jenn
Hi Jenn - thanks for commenting! Blood tests do often show false negatives and are not always accurate - a variety of things can throw them off - antibiotics for one.
Please read part 3 and see if you can find animal doses - like for colloidal silver for instance. But it would be best to talk to naturopathic doctors who might help your pet. There are some who specialize in it! Also, www.herbalhealer.com has a lot of pet remedies and dosages, their free catalog is very helpful for that. Pet health is very important and very doable for natural healers - there is help for you! God Bless & Peace, ~H
