A fascinating story from the above article by Tom Grier:
Let me give you a local example in Duluth MN: A man phoned me and told me about his strange untreatable Rheumatoid arthritis, he mentioned he and his brother and his father were all avid sportsman from an area rife with Lyme disease. When he told me his brother had non remitting MS and his father was in a nursing home with Alzheimer's I started to see a pattern. Despite the different diagnosis's they all shared similar symptoms that were consistent with Lyme disease.
Shared Symptoms: Sensitivity to bright lights, migrating joint pain, head aches, muscle twithches, stiff crunchy neck, floaters in the eyes, heart palpitations and chest pains, depression, hearing disturbances, night sweats, strange burning skin sensations, sensitivity to noise, urinary frequency/urgency but decreased urinary volume and many more.
Both the sons in their 30s responded slowly but steadily to constant antibiotics, and neither one has either MS or arthritis. When they asked their father's physicians to test for or treat their father for Lyme disease the doctors became furious and refused to not only treat, but refused to even do a single Lyme test. Despite the strong family history and symptoms and life long exposure to infected ticks, the doctors refused to even entertain the possibility that the man dying in the nursing home of senile Alzheimer's-like dementia could possibly have Lyme disease. Why? What did the doctors have to lose with this patient?
I believe they were afraid of exactly what the autopsy tests showed! The boys wanted to be absolutely sure one way or another if their father had long standing untreated Lyme disease. After all true Alzheimer's may have a genetic component, but Lyme disease is treatable! When their dad died they sent his brain to a pathologist who specializes in brain sectioning, and silver stain.
In virtually every cross section of the cerebral cortex spirochetes were found. Further they were consistent with Borrelia burgdorferi and even more astoundingly, in a serial cross section where several slides were made of the same brain cell and bacteria, a spirochete was found half in and out of a human neuron. This is important because although we have seen in-vitro penetration of human fibroblast cells, macrophage, B-cells, and rodent neurons, we have never seen in-vivo evidence ever before of intracellular spirochetes in any human cell let alone human brain cells. This was a huge discovery.

"Fascinating" is putting it mildy....excellent information! I find it disappointing, though, that nothing has transpired since the date of this writing......people just don't get it, even though you sure don't need to be a rocket scientist to see what is happening here.
I actually believe that many more see it than we are aware, and this is the most frightening of all since clearly they have chosen to do nothing.

This is great as an overview of Lyme and is a good explanation of the testing too. QH

And yet locked doors for labs that test for Lymes. So, even though they know this why are the states not taking action to test more people? State local health departments should be on top of this. A report about Lymes and the animals and possible abundance of acorns causing more Lymes. I do not think that chipmunks or mice eat acorns though. tinyurl.com/jcm8mskytroll
