this doctor is spouting IDSA bullshit. so infuriating. most people in fact do NOT see a bullseye rash. ticks are so small that they may never be seen and their bite never felt. tests are inaccurate and inconclusive. and a single dose of abx after the bite?? please. what a magical pill it must be. you need at least a month of high-dose doxy, preferably six weeks, if you catch it immediately following the bite. after that, it gets much more complicated and odious. shame on ABC.

That Doctor who states 'better to do nothing than to do wrong" is being paid by the insurance companies. right? Any patient with Lyme would rather prefer to have a Doctor who at least try to help! I know someone who was seen by eight Doctors, who didn't do ANYTHING to help her, who survived and is not quadriplegic and lunatic because she SELF DIAGNOSED. Doctors don't know what to do with a multiple-symptom patient; they just want to treat simple symptoms, easy money!

YET AGAIN, this is A LOT of INCORRECT information from a doctor who seems very kind, but who is HARDLY LYME LITERATE. You could have been born with it. You can get it just walking to your car. This doctor might have good intentions, but if you were lucky enough to know you were bitten and went straight to her, "just one course" may very well not be enough-- just to fight a person's very first accute infection.

@Azorka82 ---your question: Why is doxy standard protocol? GUESS WHAT IT IS CHEAP....THAT'S WHY 

[marijuni71]

I have new for the lady talking to the newsman. She is full of bullshit also...The bull's eye is not the typical rash.

It can look like cellulitis, eczema, bruise, ringworm etc. etc. I guess she is a Dr? more BULLSHIT. plus the evil ID dr. we want to help people -yea we want to fill our pockets with ins. pay off money...wait till they get bitten or one of their family members as Dr. Jemsik said. evil evil

@Typhona she should have antibiotics immediately. Now, I would suggest cats claw.... 1/2 a drop a day. no more than that.

[FancyPantsElitist]

@Meddy38 the one thing I've found that works fairly well at keeping it "down" is cat's claw. It's herbal. It works.

[FancyPantsElitist]

This is flawed. Though I had the symptoms many do NOT. Yes these are all symptoms but some people get lyme and never see the symptoms. Bogus interview. Totally bogus.

[Meddy38]

Johns Hopkin's finally admitted in their Nov. 2009 Newsletter that they found certain L-form bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. One of those bacteria is Borrelia Burgdorferi, the Lyme bacteria. This proves why Lymies have been telling the IDSA and CDC for 15 years. This is why LLMDs use a variety of antibiotics and why long-term is sometimes necessary. Time for the rest of the medical community to ante up the truth about Lyme disease.
