Frank Pallone - Why are you blocking the Lyme Bill?

Lymerights protest outside and inside Congressman Frank Pallone's district office for the Lyme Research Bill, HR 741. Rep. Pallone has just issued a statement saying he is capitulating to lobbyists for the Infectious Diseases Society, a corrupt organization that stands in direct opposition to patient interests in Lyme disease.

Excellent video. Lyme disease is the fastest growing infectious disease in our country, infecting up to 200,000+ people each year. Once this disease is Chronic, it's very difficult, sometimes impossible, to cure. What reason could Mr. Pallone possibly have for denying a bill that would provide education and research monies about a growing epidemic affecting his own constituents, and the entire country?

wonderful video. What a horrible thing! I know as a Lyme sufferer what it's like to fight for the healthcare we do get!

I suffer from chronic illness due to Lyme disease--and it is people like this who are to blame. Whackos (humble opinion, here) like this have made doctors all around the country terrified to even touch Lyme cases, let alone diagnose and treat them. You want to scream about injustice and need for change? Look in the friggin' mirror, Pat. My diagnosis came far too late for simple treatment to remedy--because hysterics like you have made Lyme a taboo subject. Now, I have lupus. Thanks a lot.

I have lyme but this is not the way to go about change. Harassing the staffers is not going to accomplish anything, it will just piss them off more and make them want to do anything possible to make sure the bill does not pass.

[DontTickMeOff]

O GAWD why why why...all that bill does is call for more commmittees and funding for them.

HOW IS THAT CURING US???

LDA HAS SWINDLED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM PEOPLE!

Give me a Break, Pat.

My Fellow Americans: I am sick. I need money. You can give it to me. If you don't, I will vote for Obama who is bringing about a mighty change: The official Declaration of Obamadependence: The right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and health care reform. And don't forget the right to be pro-choice about everything except your own money!

[alittlechild]

Let's say you suddenly got unlimited access to tax money for your lyme disease.

How does that cure you?

And why does it require the government in order to bring it about?

What is wrong with this picture ?

[alittlechild]

yeah, yeah, same old tired BS. And what happens when the next baffling disease that modern medicine can't deal with comes along? You gonna fight it with money too ?

To use disease as a reason to extract money from you is nothing new - remember the definition of insanity - doing the same thing expecting a different result - look at other socialist nations and their disease records - at some point you realize - government health care cures nothing.

[alittlechild]

Don't fall for this gimmick.

Lyme disease will be neither prevented nor cured by giving more money to this sick healthcare system.

Modern medicine can't help you - and neither can insurance companies.

Do you really believe that more of the same is the answer?

[sickfrmtick]

lucky you- apparently you haven't had it for 25 years, because the salt vit c, silver etc.. does nothing to cure malaria/babesia and bartonella and old very comfortable lyme-

health care reform is necessary- these private insurance comany's are wall street- universal healthcare does not me the government will be dictating who we see or where we go- read the healthcare plans from both sides before making such a bogus comment- an obvious uneducated/informed, rush limbit who preys on dumb

[alittlechild]

Lyme disease is best NOT treated by medical professionals. They have a vested interest in looking the other way when you tell them you have Lyme. It's because the pharmaceuticals cost so much the insurance won't cover it for an extended period of time.

The salt/C protocol is far superior anyway than any of these harmful prescription drugs. If you want true health don't get it from today's medicine men - they are pimps for the pharmaceutical companies.

Salt is NOT bad for you. It is essential. Mind you, as long as it is not table salt, and has had all the minerals processed out of it. I have anecdotal evidence from many people who have taken 10 to 20 grams a day that it has actually helped them normalize blood pressure. Read about Himalayan Crystal Salt. Internet research is free.
