A Baby Sampling of Persistent Lyme Disease Information

Of course, the best evidence of failure with the 30, 240-minute (3 week) approach to Lyme treatment is that it assumes ticks only carry one infection. What a sad belief. The other issue is other health care workers are left to “clean up” this magical machine view of the body, and these massively complex infections after 30, 240-minutes of treatment fails-in a month, week, season, year or decade. Patients reject and leave the 3 week folks and go to others who have ears to listen and do not insult them. Some of these patients are far smarter, with higher IQs, than their physicians.
