Study highlights challenges of diagnosing Lyme diseaseJohn Burns wasn’t getting better. He was diagnosed with Lyme disease six years ago near his home in Albany, N.Y., using a federally approved test. While he was treated with several courses of antibiotics. Seven months later, he was still suffering from crippling fatigue. Worried he had developed a chronic illness from the tick-borne bacteria, he saw an infectious-disease specialist and received a far different diagnosis: early-stage lung cancer. “I’m probably the only person in the world who will say he is happy he got Lyme disease,’’ said Burns, 65, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning technician. “That’s how they found the cancer early.” Burns’s experience, along with two other cases detailed in a paper published this week in JAMA Internal Medicine (a publication of the Journal of the American Medical Association), highlights the challenges — and dangers — of some Lyme disease diagnoses. www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/11/04/study-highlights-challenges-diagnosing-lyme-disease/PZCEyOQWeVc8Z1MpyfMVuI/story.html

Here is the Lyme segment that aired on the "Sunday Night" show on Channel 7 last night. au.news.yahoo.com/sunday-night/video/watch/25555082/this-week-mystery-disease/The story is in two parts and admittedly I only watched part one. My son was wanting to watch his TV show and got a little bored when he realised he had to sit through part 2. Besides, I cried, it brought back some awful memories. All this time on and I am sorry to say, but these TV segments are doing NOTHING to help those of us suffering. Part 2 is about the "cure" which Australian's are having for Lyme. It is a radical treatment, don't know what it is, though you have to travel overseas and spend thousands. Dr Stephen Graves features in part 1. He doesn't believe Lyme can be contracted in Australia. He does admit that people can catch it overseas. Yes that IS true doctor, though my extensive travel made NO difference to my diagnosis of DOP. Dr Graves believes that big laboratories in the USA are taking peoples money and "just saying they are positive for Lyme to make money". Dr Graves does believe in Rickettsia though, I had my bloods tested at his lab. www.rickettsialab.org.au/#!contact Rickettsia is quite often a co-infection of Lyme disease, though from what this doctor is saying, we can have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (like I do) though one has never left Australia? In my case, I have been to Denver, though only in the airport. Who's to say a nematode didn't hitch a ride with me. I believe everyone is losing the plot. For example, I don't know a lot about chem-webs, which are webs similar to a spiders web which fall from the sky due to the Geo-engineering. I was shown one of these chem-webs the other day. This material is soaking into our skin and to think what is entering our skin which we can not see. Someone said in the Lyme community on Facebook the other day "Do you think it is possible that Lyme can be contracted by touch or perhaps airborne" - I said "I believe anything is possible". I do believe this for Lyme because it does not effect 2 people the same. It's the best debilitating biological weapon to give to the world, making money off the infirm and disabled, it's the best plague ever, kinda of like the plague you're having when you're not having a plague. Plague and diseases have a lot to do with political unrest and LYME is the most controversial and political disease in HISTORY. Try explaining that to a very sick 7 year old. So Dr Graves says we can not catch Lyme disease in Australia and one doctor in the segment says it is more than ticks, other biting insects ie. March Flies. So when will the good doctor with his head in the sand tell all that it really is possible to contract disease ie LYME from having sex. My son has Lyme because he caught it in my tummy.

I was at the hair dressers today and mentioned my son being positive for Lyme. I was surprised that my hairdresser and a client had seen the Lyme segment on TV. They were OK with the fact that "Lyme" originated from Plum Island and they went on to say "it's similar to that Agent Orange"...well my mouth fell open. So calm cool and collected about bio warfare? There was nothing I could say that would have sounded OK - keeping my mouth shut was wise. People are sucking up what the TV tells them and once upon a time society had the "9 day wonder" now a days a couple of days and no one will remember the Lyme segment. Though people are believing that this (Lyme) IS a biological weapon and they are OK with that. Sorry to repeat myself, but IF this were cancer....I won't even go there. It seems that this disease and how it came about is being accepted by the masses as quite ok. What about the concern of the symptoms? What does it do to people? I could go mad thinking of all the questions that people are not asking themselves, and WHY are they not asking themselves. I did say to them "Lyme is a biological weapon"... I took a risk to see what reaction I would get. Both ladies replied with "yes I know". HUH? When I started with the Morgellons I believed I was suffering the effects of either the 9/11 attack and or bio warfare. I literally emailed the world and I even phoned National Security I was that scared out of my mind. I had to give them all my personal details, and my thinking then was it was ok and safe because National Security cared about the people. IF that is so, why is it that my experience of this disease has been some what worse than others? I made too much noise, because that is who I am, I tell it as it is. I know I am perceived by certain other people as not what they think I am. This is hard to live with when looking in the face of a person who hasn't the foggiest idea of what I have suffered. Sure they can look me up in Google, though is it fair to accept what a journalist wrote? Why not ask me? People won't. I have always questioned everything and to me that is NORMAL. My other burning question, which comes to mind with Lyme media is WHY are the Australian Government so adamant there is no Lyme? IF this is truly the case then why are so many people sick with very similar symptoms? Can someone answer me that please? There has been interviews on the radio regarding Lyme and being a doctor in a small country town, and literally half the town are sick and all have the same symptoms. This doctor said, that is when you realise there IS something making these people sick. What happens to these doctors after their radio interview, never to be heard of again? These doctors are genuine and do care, well one would have to in a small country town because where do you hide when most of the population is in your waiting room? I am sure the Lyme debate is far more than meets the eye. Australia is holding back on the Lyme issue for a reason and I believe that reason is a BIGGY...just think about it. To continue to ignore and allow people to suffer at the hands of people who are also messed up in the head is making too many lives near unliveable. The world of technology the amazing things that can be done with super materials, and smart dust....it's NUTS...satellites in space....photos of the most amazing parts of the universe that people on Earth will never see, other than a photograph from NASA. You know we could all say that NASA has photo shopped these, but we don't. We take them on face value, show respect and say WOW NASA you are amazing. Why is it doctors have been indoctrinated in a particular way and this indoctrination sticks like glue? I think "brain washed" is a good description or is it a disease of the mind? The internet is rife with Morgellons evidence and yet people who are not infected call us cray cray and every other belittling name under the sun....WHY?. Interesting interview from 2001. Bio-WeaponsIf you think anthrax is a terrible bio-weapon, it's nothing compared to smallpox. This disease has been eradicated from the world so most of the population is now highly susceptible to it. Through the 1980s and 1990s the Soviets built up stockpiles of smallpox and actually put it in weapons and worked out how to cause maximum damage. Officially, the program was brought to a halt by Boris Yeltsin, but no one really knows what happened to the smallpox samples they had or to the many scientists who worked on them. When the Soviet Union stopped paying their wages they could well have gone to work for 'rogue' nations, in order to feed their families. And, in a new twist, researchers in Australia recently stumbled on a way of genetically engineering smallpox that is likely to make it much more deadly. With the new biotechnologies becoming evermore sophisticated, genetically engineered bio-weapons are a real threat to the future. www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/s404989.htm

I watched Part 2 of the Lyme segment over lunch today. It was very well done. I was very moved by the sufferers and I could feel their sorrow. History keeps repeating. If money is taken away from the treatment and so called cure of LYME then the door opens for change. Those are only my thoughts, but keep in mind we are still not being heard in Australia and this radio interview from May this year brings this entire nightmare right into your laps no matter where you are sitting in the world. Imagine this woman talking is me because it sort of is. I have had this disease too long and in one reality I really am dead or should be and or could be because tomorrow is not an absolute, that IS science. This poor woman I wanted to cry for her. Her voice speaks more words, at this stage.. She has Morgellons, in my opinion. Ballarat Lyme disease sufferer rallies for recognition www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2014/05/05/3998053.htm

With reference to finding the Bacteria in the body, this is the explanation. The Structure of the Lyme Bacteria The structure of the Lyme spirochete is unlike any other bacteria that has ever been studied before. It is one of the largest of the spirochetes (0.25 microns x 50 microns) It is as long, as a fine human hair is thick. Borrelia burgdorferi is a highly motile bacteria, it can swim extremely efficiently through both blood and tissue because of internal propulsion. It is propelled by an internal arrangement of flagella, bundled together, that runs the length of the bacteria from tip to tip. Like other Borrelia bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi has a three layer cell wall which helps determine the spiral shape of the bacteria. What makes this bacteria different from other species, is that it also has a clear gel-like coat of glyco-proteins which surround the bacteria. This extra layer is sometimes called the Slime Layer or S-layer. (See diagram 1) (45,46,59) This means: This extra layer of glyco-proteins may act like a stealthy coat of armor that protects and hides the bacteria from the immune system. The human immune system uses proteins that are on the surface of the bacteria as markers, and sends attacking antibodies and killer T-cells to those markers, called outer surface protein antigens (OSP antigens). This nearly invisible layer is rarely seen in washed cultures, but can be seen regularly in tissue biopsies.(46) The Lyme bacteria is different from other bacteria in its arrangement of DNA. Most bacteria have distinct chromosomes that are found floating around inside the cytoplasm. When the bacteria starts to divide and split in two, the chromosomes divide and the new copies of the chromosomes enter the new cell. The arrangement of DNA within Borrelia burgdorferi is radically different. It is arranged along the inside of the inner membrane. It looks something like a net embedded just underneath the skin of the bacteria. (46) This means: We really don't understand the mechanisms of how Bb regulates its genetic material during its division. Another unique feature to Borrelia burgdorferi are Blebs. This bacteria replicates specific genes, and inserts them into its own cell wall, and then pinches off that part of its cell membrane, and sends the bleb into the host. Why it does this we don't know. But we do know that these blebs can irritate our immune system. Dr. Claude Garon of Rocky Mountain Laboratories has shown that there is a precise mechanism that regulates the ratio of the different types of blebs that are shed. (46) In other bacteria the appearance of blebs often means the bacteria can share genetic information between themselves. We don't know if this is possible with Borrelia species. There have been reports of a granular form of Borrelia, which can grow to full size spirochetes, and reproduce. These granules are so small that they can be filtered and separated from live adult spirochetes by means of a micro-pore filter. (Stealth Pathogens Lida Mattman Ph.D. 66) The division time of Borrelia burgdorferi is very long. Most other pathogens such as Streptococcus, or Staphylococcus, only take 20 minutes to double, the doubling time of Borrelia burgdorferi is usually estimated to be 12-24 hours. Since most antibiotics are cell wall agent inhibitors, they can only kill bacteria when the bacteria begins to divide and form new cell wall.(35,59-62) This means: Since most antibiotics can only kill bacteria when they are dividing, a slow doubling time means less lethal exposure to antibiotics. Most bacteria are killed in 10-14 days of antibiotic. To get the same amount of lethal exposure during new cell wall formation of a Lyme spirochete, the antibiotic would have to be present 24 hours a day for 1 year and six months! Note: Antibiotics kill bacteria by binding to the bacteria's ribosomes, and interrupting the formation of cell wall proteins. Like other spirochetes, such as those that cause Syphilis, the Lyme spirochete can remain in the human body for years in a non-metabolic state. It is essentially in suspended animation, and since it does not metabolize in this state, antibiotics are not absorbed or effective. When the conditions are right, those bacteria that survive, can seed back into the blood stream and initiate a relapse. (59-62,70) This means: Just because a person is symptom free for long lengths of time doesn't mean they aren't infected. It may be a matter of time. Whereas viral infections often impart a lifelong immunity, Lyme, like other bacterial infections, does not retain active immunity for long periods of time. People are often reinfected with Lyme. (96) How does the Lyme bacteria travel from the bloodstream to other tissues? While we have known for a long time that the Lyme spirochete can show up in the brain, eyes, joints, skin, spleen, liver, GI tract, bladder, and other organs, we didn't understand the mechanism by which it could travel through capillaries and cell membranes. (Abstract 644) Then Dr. Mark Klempner presented at the 1996 LDF International Lyme Conference an interesting paper that gave us part of the answer. Many researchers have observed that the Lyme spirochete attaches to the human cells' tip first. It then wiggles and squirms until it enters the cell. What Dr. Klempner showed was that when the spirochete attached to the human host cell, it caused that cell to release digestive enzymes that would dissolve the cell, and allow the spirochete to go wherever it pleases. This is very economical to the bacteria to use our own cell's enzymes against us, because it does not need to carry the genes and enzymes around when it travels. Dr. Klempner also showed that the spirochete could enter cells such as the human fibroblast cell (The skin cell that makes scar tissue.) and hide. Here the pathogen was protected from the immune system, and could thrive without assault. More importantly, when these Bb-fibroblast cultures were incubated with 10 x the MIC for IV Rocephin, two thirds of the cultures still yielded live spirochetes after two weeks, and in later experiments for more than 30 days. If we can't kill it in a test tube at these high concentrations in four weeks, how can we hope to kill it in the human body? (22,48,79,80,) This means: The infection can enter the tissue that is optimal for its survival, and it may evade the immune system and antibiotics by hiding inside certain types of cells. Another interesting observation about this bacteria is how it interacts with our body's immune system; Dr. David Dorward of Rocky Mountain Labs made a video tape of how Borrelia burgdorferi acts when surrounded by B-cells. (The type of white blood cell that makes antibody.) The spirochete attached tip first, entered the B lymphocyte, multiplied and ruptured the cell. It repeated this process for three days until the B-cells were able to come to an equilibrium. A matter of concern was that some of the spirochetes were able to strip away part of the B-cell's membrane, and wear it like a cloak. (Dorward, Hulinska 1994 LDF Conference Vancouver BC) This means: If this spirochete is evolved enough to attack our B-lymphocytes, then it may also be evolved in other ways that we do not yet understand. It is for certain that its ability to kill B-lymphocytes evolved as part of a defense mechanism to evade its own destruction. The observation that it can use the B-cell's own membrane as camouflage indicates that it may be able to go undetected by our immune system. The way our immune system is supposed to work is that it recognizes foreign invaders as being different from self, and attacks the infection. Unfortunately, the immune system sometimes attacks our own cells. This is called autoimmune disease. If a foreign invader has a chemical structure similar to our own tissue antigens, our bodies sometimes make antibodies against our own tissues. In people with Lyme disease scientists have discovered auto-antibodies against our own tissues including nerve cells (axons), cardiolipid, myelin (also seen in MS), myelin basic protein (also seen in MS), and neurons (brain cells) (23,28,38-40,43,45,56,57,60,88) When the immune system finds a foreign invader, it tags that invader in a number of ways. A cell called the macrophage can engulf the bacteria, and then communicate to other immune cells the exact description of the bacteria. Another cell might mark the cell with antibody which attracts killer T-cells. Some types of T-cells communicate to other cells what to attack, and regulate the immune assault. But sometimes the body can produce a type of antibody that doesn't attack or help. A blocking antibody will attach and coat the intruder, but it won't fix compliment, and it shields the bacteria from further immune recognition. In Lyme we have seen quantities of IgG4 blocking antibody such as is seen in some parasitic infections. (Tom Schwann RML 92 LDF Conference) *Note: Compliment is a term used for a series of 18 + digestive proteins that are only activated by signals from our immune system, such as compliment fixing antibodies. In order for the immune system to make an attacking antibody, the immune system must first find an antigen which it can attack. Unfortunately, as seen by freeze fracture electron microscope, photographs of the Lyme bacteria show that most of the antigens are on the inside of the inner membrane, and not on the outside. (60) This makes the bacteria less visible to the immune system and more difficult to attack. The most intriguing fact about Borrelia spirochetes is their well documented ability to change the shape of their surface antigens when they are attacked by the human immune system. When this occurs, it takes several weeks for the immune system to produce new antibodies. During this time the infection continues to divide and hide. (1,47,63,66) It appears that Borrelia are able to change their surface antigens many times, and can do it quickly. In one study by Dr. Andrew Pachner MD, he infected mice with a single strain of Borrelia burgdorferi. After several weeks, he was able to isolate two slightly different forms of the bacteria. The bacteria from the bloodstream was attacked and killed by the mouse's immune sera, but the bacteria isolated from the mouse's brain was unaffected by the immune sera. The bacteria isolated from the mouse's brain had a new set of surface antigens. It appears that contact with the CNS caused the bacteria to change its appearance. Since the brain is isolated from the immune system and is an immune privileged site, the bacteria became its own separate strain. (47,97) This means: Infections of the bloodstream may be different from the infections that are sequestered in the brain. While we continue to have active immunity in the bloodstream, the brain has no immune defenses except for circulating antibodies. So, if those circulating antibodies are ineffective to attack the bacteria in the brain, then the brain is left without any defenses, and the infection goes unabated. Over 100 references, abstracts and diagrams are inserted into the text to support the statements in this chapter. Another peculiar observation of these bacteria is seen inside the bacteria. When the genetic control mechanisms of this bacteria are inhibited with antibiotics known as DNA Gyrase Inhibitors (ciprofloxin) the bacteria start to produce bacterio-phage. A phage is a virus that specifically attacks bacteria. In this case there are two distinct forms. This means the Lyme bacteria at one time were attacked by viruses. It was able to suppress them, but the DNA to make the phage is still incorporated within the DNA of the bacteria. Perhaps activation of this phage could one day be beneficial to treating chronic Lyme patients? (JTBD 94) What happens when the infection gets to the brain? In the case of Lyme disease, every animal model to date shows that the Lyme spirochete can go from the site of the bite to the brain in just a few days. (41,60, abstract 644) While we know these bacteria can break down individual cell membranes and capillaries, its entrance into the brain is too pronounced for such a localized effect. When the Lyme bacteria enters the human body, we react by producing several immune regulatory substances known as cytokines and lymphokines. Several of these act in concert to break down the blood brain barrier. (E.g. Il-6, Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha, Il-1, Transforming Growth Factor-beta etc.) In addition to affecting the blood brain barrier, these cytokines can make us feel ill, and give us fevers. (54,60,) (JID 1996:173, Jan) Since the brain has no immune system, it prevents infection by limiting what can enter the brain. The capillary bed that surrounds the brain is so tight that not even white blood cells are allowed to enter. Many drugs can't enter either, making treatment of the brain especially hard. For the first ten days of a Lyme infection, the blood brain barrier is virtually nonexistent. This not only allows the Lyme bacteria to get in, but also immune cells that can cause inflammation of the brain. (41) *Note: The breakdown of Bb was shown to occur by tagging WBCs, albumin, and other substances known not to cross the BBB with radioactive Iodine. The CSF was tested, and then the animals were infected with Bb. Then the CSF was tested everyday for several weeks. The result: No cross over of Iodine in the control group, 100% crossover in the infected group for 10 days. The infection had the same result as injecting the radioactive iodine directly into the brain. (60) When the human brain becomes inflamed, cells called macrophages respond by releasing a neuro-toxin called quinolinic acid. This toxin is also elevated in Parkinson's Disease, MS, ALS, and is responsible for the dementia that occurs in AIDS patients. What quinolinic acid does is stimulate neurons to repeatedly depolarize. This eventually causes the neurons to demyelinate and die. People with elevated quinolinic acid have short-term memory problems. (27,29-37,40-42,74,75, 82-84,87-90) This means: If we think of all of our brain cells like telephone lines, we can visualize the problem. If all of the lines coming in are busy, we can't learn anything. If all of the lines going out are busy, we can't recall any memories. Our thinking process becomes impaired. A second impairment to clear thinking that Lymies experience is the restriction of proper circulation within the blood vessels inside the brain. Using an instrument called the Single Photon Emission Computer Tomography scanner (SPECT scans), we are able to visualize the blood flow throughout the human brain in 3-D detail. What was seen in the brains of chronic neurological Lyme patients was an abnormal "swiss-cheese" pattern of blood flow. The cortical, or thinking region of the brain, was being deprived of good circulation; the occipital (eyesight) regions had an increase flow. This could help explain why most Lyme patients complain of poor concentration and overly sensitive eyes.

Study putting controversial disease under microscopeA NEW study being undertaken by University of Sydney researchers could shine new light on Lyme disease in Australia and give hopes to sufferers. With a home-grown cause for sufferers' symptoms not yet identified, the issue remains controversial, but Coffs Harbour's Jenine Glenn hopes the study will go some way to providing sufferers with answers. Since she started experiencing symptoms 18 months ago, Jenine has repeatedly been told it is all in her head by doctors unwilling to accept Lyme disease as a possibility. The vet nurse and wife of the late Wayne Glenn has experienced swelling, chronic fatigue, blisters and heart issues among a raft of other symptoms. It wasn't until she started seeing Dr Trevor Cheney in Bellingen she started to get some relief. "I'm up and walking now," Jenine said. "In Brisbane they just kept saying it was all in my head." The study hopes to learn more about which pathogens are associated with Australian Lyme disease patients by comparing blood samples from patients with healthy control subjects. "It's a fairly broad study as far as I can see," Jenine said. "It's trying to determine a genetic basis for Australia. "It should have been done years ago. Being a vet nurse and being in the animal industry, it just seems obvious because borrelia is one of the things we have to test for to bring dogs into the country."

Holy Moly, can one pray when they look through their microscope, they ask, what are all these fibers in the blood, urine and feces, and know that the business as usual answer,
OH THATS NORMAL, Why do you ask such a stupid question, there is no known cause, we never start with the unknown.
Starting with 40 or so symptoms is the end not the beginning.
Here is my experience being a trouble shooter, people hate to ask questions of people with real ability, WHY, you would expect them to want to have the abilitys of the great ones, the fact, they are more scared of looking stupid than never being great.
Every time I have tried to help people with problems they tried to rush me to their end and not start at what I know to be the beginning, when they rush me to the end I would just say, your problem is over everything is alright, you have the answer.
Their answer, (its not working), ( their answer was a question asked of me), they know all the answers to the questions, the end result is always the same and they would do it over and over again with the same result, because they skip right to the DNA.
The DNA is the answer, same as your disease is allergies, age and stress.
Anyway, of course wives tales are the answer, why, they ignore simple aspects as irrelevant or unanswerable, (UNKNOWN), they go on as the answer can not be simple, the trail has to be complicated.
The fact that we have fiber material coming out of us in every way has no bearing in their advanced minds, that has already been decided, it is either we are crapping out a carpet we ate, OR, its an unknown, soooooooooooooo, lets start at DNA, the genius crack me up
This new and large focus on mutating DNA in everything does not say we will be a better race soon, it says to me, these people have skipped all the unknown causes of disease.
Hopefully these educated ignorant do not hold high position, that could all depend on a piece of paper that hangs on your wall attesting to your brilliance, not your ability to QUESTION alleged knowledge, more than likely it will, or has to be youth with exuberance that question the justification for disease, allergies, stress, age are not answers, these are EXCUSES used more and more often, WIVES TALES that sick people believe.
These answers are the most basic of W. C. Fields School (Go away kid ya bother me) !!
I really hope the Australians can be a little more optimistic for mankind's sake.
Fibers growing out of people and inside them, there is a reason, there is also a REASON why most disease on the rise, of course with NO KNOWN CAUSE, is a FIBROUS MATERIAL CONNECTED DISEASE.
Is that the answer, NO but it is a basic place to start, not ( DNA).

Is that the answer, NO but it is a basic place to start, not ( DNA). Study putting controversial disease under microscopeA NEW study being undertaken by University of Sydney researchers could shine new light on Lyme disease in Australia and give hopes to sufferers. With a home-grown cause for sufferers' symptoms not yet identified, the issue remains controversial, but Coffs Harbour's Jenine Glenn hopes the study will go some way to providing sufferers with answers. Since she started experiencing symptoms 18 months ago, Jenine has repeatedly been told it is all in her head by doctors unwilling to accept Lyme disease as a possibility. The vet nurse and wife of the late Wayne Glenn has experienced swelling, chronic fatigue, blisters and heart issues among a raft of other symptoms. It wasn't until she started seeing Dr Trevor Cheney in Bellingen she started to get some relief. "I'm up and walking now," Jenine said. "In Brisbane they just kept saying it was all in my head." The study hopes to learn more about which pathogens are associated with Australian Lyme disease patients by comparing blood samples from patients with healthy control subjects. "It's a fairly broad study as far as I can see," Jenine said. "It's trying to determine a genetic basis for Australia. "It should have been done years ago. Being a vet nurse and being in the animal industry, it just seems obvious because borrelia is one of the things we have to test for to bring dogs into the country." Anyone interested in taking part can phone Dr Ann Mitrovic on 93513217 or email ann.mitrovic@sydney.edu.au www.coffscoastadvocate.com.au/news/study-putting-a-controversial-disease-under-the-mi/2539142/ I'm not sure what to make of it all Baraka. I find this country an embarrassment and the government make people like me look like an idiot. I think I caught it from a doctor. I posted this article for any people that live in Sydney. I would say to be in this study perhaps living in Sydney may be required. I don't know I'm guessing. I'm not planning on going in this study. All my body fluids would be full of fibers and this they would ignore, maybe. I don't know and I am not prepared to take that risk to be yet again let down.

I had this link passed on to me a couple of days ago. Apparently it was front page of the Herald Sun Newspaper in Melbourne. I remember this football player when I was at high school, now he has a family and his daughter is sick with a "mystery illness". The only mystery are the people who keep calling it a mystery. FOOTBALL legend Peter Knights has told of the heartbreaking battle facing his elder daughter Sarah, who has been struck down by a mystery illness. The Hawks great has looked on helplessly as Sarah’s decline reduced the active and capable young woman to being confined to a wheelchair. Now the family is making a mercy dash to Germany, where they hope a groundbreaking treatment for her condition, believed to be related to Lyme disease, will allow Sarah to regain her independence. www.heraldsun.com.au/news/peter-knights-wants-to-find-cure-for-daughter-sarahs-illness/story-fni0fiyv-1227209684763I do wish this young woman and her family well. Sadly, in Australia it seems and has been shown over time that if you are a football player, sports person you will get help. We would all love to fund raise to help our children and families get well from this horrendous disease.

I watched "Under Our Skin 2 - Emergence" last night. I do believe it is better than the first documentary "Under Our Skin". The Documentary follows on from the people in the first Doco. It is so informative and so much more fell into place for me. The CDC are behind this, hiding what is really going on. The people that are in cahoots with the CDC. This is not a conspiracy theory or gossip. The documentary clearly shows what I can not put into words. This is the trailer; www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0uh58B9u0UThis is the full length documentary; www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLSzclJAdLA“In the fullness of time, the mainstream handling of Chronic Lyme disease will be viewed as one of the most shameful episodes in the history of medicine because elements of academic medicine, elements of government and virtually the entire insurance industry have colluded to deny a disease.” - Dr. Kenneth Liegner

The trailer looks good. Too bad Americans can't watch the full-length episode (copyright restriction).

I found a little something that may EASILY diagnose this problem, I was holding a red laser to my face, its supposed to be the kind to grow hair, with my eyebrow I wanted to give it all the chance it needed.
Here is what I saw, I was holding a magnified mirror and trying to aim the laser, when I saw as it crossed my nostril, what you can see are rows of very fine lines, looks like corduroy.
A green laser may work better to show the skin has been invaded.
Now maybe this is nature, but I have seen the pattern before larger. SO, if you can just hold a laser to the skin and see the pattern then you will know your included.
If it is the case.
Use the nostril and a magnified mirror.

Lyme disease controversy Diane Quigley remembers the day her life changed. She had inadvertently knocked the body off the tick that bit her during a trip to New Jersey. The insect’s head remained under her skin for eight hours before she got it out. Since then, Quigley said her life has been a struggle. “It is important that doctors grab hold of the fact that if you do not treat properly, it can become a hideous disease that is tricky to treat,” Quigley, the Kingston representative for the Ontario Lyme Alliance, said A public service announcement earlier this week has reignited what many are calling a medical controversy. On Monday, Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington Public Health issued its annual warning about ticks and Lyme disease. But that caution didn’t mention what some people say are the long-lasting effects of the bacterial infection, a condition that most Canadian medical officials say doesn’t exist. Many people who suffer Lyme disease after being bitten by an infected tick complain of ongoing symptoms. Quigley said she was initially infected by Lyme disease almost four decades ago and has been living with the effects since. She said the Canadian medical systems have been slow to respond to what she says is a much bigger problem than most people think. “You can’t just sweep it under the carpet, because it is only going to get worse,” she said. “This is a pandemic.” Follow link for video and full article; www.thewhig.com/2015/04/24/lyme-disease-controversy

Lyme Disease: The CDC’s Greatest Coverup & What They Don’t Want You To KnowLyme disease, do you have it? If you did, you probably wouldn’t know – unless you’re one of the chronic sufferers that have had to visit over 30 doctors to get a proper diagnosis. Lyme disease tests are highly inaccurate, often inconclusive or indicating false negatives. Why? Because this clever bacteria has found a way to dumb down the immune system and white blood cells so that it’s not detectable until treatment is initiated. To diagnose Lyme properly you must see a “Lyme Literate MD (LLMD),” however, more and more doctors are turning their backs on patients due to sheer fear of losing their practices! Insurance companies and the CDC will do whatever it takes to stop Chronic Lyme Disease from being diagnosed, treated, or widely recognized as an increasingly common issue. Lyme is considered by the medical field to “only” transmit by way of a tick infected with bacteria. However, the CDC itself admits it is under-reported, and believes there are between 300,000 to half a million new cases each year. That makes Lyme disease almost twice as common as breast cancer and six times more common than HIV/AIDS. Where are all of these new cases coming from? (It’s interesting to note that since Avril Lavigne recently went public with her Chronic Lyme Disease battle, mainstream news outlets like The Daily Mail have been mentioning Lyme can be transmitted by mosquitoes, too!) www.collective-evolution.com/2015/04/16/lyme-disease-the-cdcs-greatest-coverup-what-they-dont-want-you-to-know/

Case Report
New-Onset Panic, Depression with Suicidal Thoughts, and Somatic Symptoms in a Patient with a History of Lyme DiseaseAmir Garakani1,2,3 and Andrew G. Mitton4 1Department of Psychiatry, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY 10029, USA 2Silver Hill Hospital, New Canaan, CT 06840, USA 3Department of Psychiatry, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT 06511, USA 4Department of Psychiatry, Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior, University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90024, USA Received 2 January 2015; Accepted 14 March 2015 Abstract Lyme Disease, or Lyme Borreliosis, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and spread by ticks, is mainly known to cause arthritis and neurological disorders but can also cause psychiatric symptoms such as depression and anxiety. We present a case of a 37-year-old man with no known psychiatric history who developed panic attacks, severe depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation, and neuromuscular complaints including back spasms, joint pain, myalgias, and neuropathic pain. These symptoms began 2 years after being successfully treated for a positive Lyme test after receiving a tick bite. During inpatient psychiatric hospitalization his psychiatric and physical symptoms did not improve with antidepressant and anxiolytic treatments. The patient’s panic attacks resolved after he was discharged and then, months later, treated with long-term antibiotics for suspected “chronic Lyme Disease” (CLD) despite having negative Lyme titers. He however continued to have subsyndromal depressive symptoms and chronic physical symptoms such as fatigue, myalgias, and neuropathy. We discuss the controversy surrounding the diagnosis of CLD and concerns and considerations in the treatment of suspected CLD patients with comorbid psychiatric diagnoses. www.hindawi.com/journals/crips/2015/457947/

Hello everyone, This is the latest research publication on what the Australian tick carries. They have finally found something. Whether this information is going to help any of us is still yet to be seen, as the Government have pencilled in a date of November 2015 for the LYME debate to go to the Australian Parliament. Inhibition of the endosymbiont “Candidatus Midichloria mitochondrii” during 16S rRNA gene profiling reveals potential pathogens in Ixodes ticks from Australiawww.parasitesandvectors.com/content/pdf/s13071-015-0958-3.pdfAbstract Background The Australian paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus) is of significant medical and veterinary importance as a cause of dermatological and neurological disease, yet there is currently limited information about the bacterial communities harboured by these ticks and the risk of infectious disease transmission to humans and domestic animals. Ongoing controversy about the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (the aetiological agent of Lyme disease) in Australia increases the need to accurately identify and characterise bacteria harboured by I. holocyclus ticks. Results Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato was identified in German I. ricinus, but not in Australian I. holocyclus ticks. However, bacteria of medical significance were detected in I. holocyclus ticks, including a Borrelia relapsing fever group sp., Bartonella henselae, novel “Candidatus Neoehrlichia” spp., Clostridium histolyticum, Rickettsia spp., and Leptospira inadai. Conclusions Abundant bacterial endosymbionts, such as CMM, limit the effectiveness of next-generation 16S bacterial community profiling in arthropods by masking less abundant bacteria, including pathogens. Specific blocking primers that inhibit endosymbiont 16S amplification during PCR are an effective way of reducing this limitation. Here, this strategy provided the first evidence of a relapsing fever Borrelia sp. and of novel “Candidatus Neoehrlichia” spp. in Australia. Our results raise new questions about tick-borne pathogens in I. holocyclus ticks.
