it's terrifying how politicized this disease is, and as best as I can tell the controversy serves no purpose. what difference would it make if people showing chronic symptoms could get long-term antibiotics? who does that harm? let's get the abx out of factory farming first, if we're afraid of superbugs.

this actually seems like the sort of superbug that we should be worried about. And, i'm not even in the Northeast. I would have contracted this either in Florida or Tennessee. I'd been clearing brush at the Florida house, and went thru an autumn in Tennessee with an acre of woods that constantly required leaf-bagging. plus, i used to feel well enough to garden. it was my favorite thing to do.

Igenex -- that's what i'm going to remember to tell my doc. I have the book Solving the Mystery of Lyme and Chronic Disease, which is an amazing "textbook" on treatment. Halfway thru now.
