In addition to this I tell everyone I meet about lyme. They might think I am nuts but I don't care. I try to educate as many people as I can about lyme disease. And I have told all friends and family. Lyme

The health reporter for ABC affiliate WJLA in Washington, will be doing a
health segment on Lyme disease Thursday evening. The reporter said that this
segment will be scratching the surface and that it is extremely difficult to
condense this subject into 3 minutes. This report will focus on the silent lyme
wars taking place within the medical community and how the patients are
caught in the middle. The reporter mentioned that if there is enough interest
generated that perhaps she will be able to do a series on lyme.
This show can be watched live on the internet at WJLA.com. Her segment
begins around 5:40 or so but you may want to tune in earlier. If you are not able
to watch it live then you can watch the show archived ...which should be
archived around 6:00 or so _http://www.wjla. com/medical/ _

I think it would be very productive and much appreciated if as many of you
as possible would write to the station and thank them for bringing the lyme
controversey out in the open. This is a local channel but reaches many
influential people in our capitol. You could include phrases such as (it's about
time) or (only touched the surface).... ..(please continue, there is so much
more.) And then if you wanted to add some bullets of advice on what else needs to
be addressed that would be good also. Try to keep it grateful,sincere,
short and to the point ...so they will be sure to read it. We so need to
encourage these reporters and to convey to those above them, how serious a problem
the lyme epidemic is. It would be especially effective if those in the health
profession also voiced their opinion. So....tune in on Thursday. I'll try to
remmember to send a reminder . Also if anyone wants to pass this on to any
other lyme or related disease groups.....feel free.

I put stuff like this up when ever i find them and To help others. I believe many family members have it. One of my aunts had facial Palsy. So many health problems in Extended family. We used to go to same beaches and Epidemic areas, when I was growing up. Nobody in my family knew about tick and lyme disease and co_infections. I have read a lot and talk about it where and when ever I can. But I only tell small groups or a few people. Little by little I think it will help. I here and talk to more people who know someone who has lyme as the years go by. More people who had tick but tested negative and told they cant have it. I tell them You can. I tell them why. Give them websites.
