CDC Lyme Disease
The medical controversy in Lyme Disease has to do with diagnosis and
treatment of Lyme disease and especially Chronic Lyme Disease. The CDC
takes a much more conservative approach in diagnosis and treatment by
following the Infectious Disease Society of America's guidelines (IDSA).
The problem is that the IDSA admit to having little or no objective evidence
for their recommendations. The IDSA guidelines are currently being
investigated by the Connecticut Attorney General's office for the
exclusionary way that they developed their lyme disease guidelines.
While I feel that the CDC is not an accurate website for lyme disease
information, I am including it so that you
will have a better picture of both sides of the argument.

When to Suspect Lyme
Prior to proper diagnosis, patients habitually
report that they were assigned the following diagnoses most often: Chronic
Fatigue Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Candidiasis,
Chronic mononucleosis, Hypoglycemia, and Stress-related illness. If these
appear in a differential diagnosis, then LD should be considered.

Potentially misleading Western blot results in Lyme disease diagnosis |
British Journal of Biomedical Science
It was noted recently that serum from a patient with confirmed parvovirus
B19 infection crossreacted with the in-house Borrelia burgdorferi IgG
Western blot. This could lead to the wrong interpretation of Western blot
results. This study aims to discover if other viral infections produce
similar results with the B. burgdorferi IgG Western blot.

Activisim - IDSA Investigation
The IDSA (Infectious Disease Society of America), have issued
guidelines for lyme disease that Insurance Companies often use to deny
chronic lyme patients medical treatment.
The IDSA denies that chronic lyme disease even exists despite numerous
studies that show persistence of the infection.
Serious conflicts of interest have been discovered by an investigation into
the writers of the guidelines. This has resulted in the IDSA agreeing
to review the guidelines in order to avoid legal action. The process
of choosing new panel members will be overseen by a medical ethicist.
