Well, I checked into this too late in the evening for the patience to answer, I also need some time to simmer down-so my response is just that -a coherent response and not an emotional reaction.

It was a train wreck over there...
Thanks to everyone who replied coherently. I still do not 'get' how replies like Daise's that they are murderers or the shame shame crap from tincup actually accomplish anything.
Didn't anyone notice that this approach is what got Kathleen's kids taken away??
Kathleen is right on a lot of things. And I know for sure in retrospect my step-grandfather died because of doctors not treating his lyme. I agree that people die because of this mess, and I hate it.
HOWEVER.
Making broad accusations without backing it up gets us nowhere but in a heap of trouble. I'm never going to give camp A an excuse to call me crazy. The LDF was more effective. HOWEVER the LDA and Lymenet have not learned from the mistakes of Karen, Kathleen, and Lisa, etc etc.

Yes, exactly. I think these people need to know that we're willing to look at this issue with an open mind ... but, moreover, that we're unwilling to accept all of the other crap that seems to come with along this controversy.
We need to let these people know that we're fully aware of the fact that long-term antibiotic treatment is not the end-all, fully-eradicating be-all, but rather they're a start in the right direction, a springboard for further understanding and even better future approaches. We need to let them know that we're not willing to be fooled by snail oil salesmen any more than we're willing to be taken by the whole "one month of doxy will do you," mantra. We need to let them know that balance and reason do exist within the Lyme community, even if just in small patches ... as difficult as a select few are making it for us....
