Subject: Yale '91 - your tax dollars at work... ....Re: CDC's Paul
Mead admits they've been lying all along on the testing for Lyme
Disease

Please distribute and verify independently.
==============================
Here (below) is Yale's early, 94.4% accurate, and
nearly 100%, if not 100%, specific test for Lyme, and
it is the *earliest* test. Note the date. 1991. The
patent is 5,618,533.
So, for 14.5 years there has been a very accurate test
for Lyme. That means all this time, the people who
were misdiagnosed because of the bogus CDC method, now
have a medical negligence lawsuit against Yale.
Note who was on the committee to approve the bogus
1994 CDC test:
http://actionlyme.org/Dearborn_Who_Approved.htm
Edward McSweegan, Alan Barbour, Allen Steere, Arthur
Weinstein.
If you have any doubts about how to validate a method,
call the FDA. These are *THEIR* RULES.

Here's the Yale patent:

"Early in human infection, antibodies are generated
primarily against the 41-kDa flagellar protein. In
later stages, antibodies to the outer surface proteins
OspA and OspB, among others, appear [J. E. Craft et

of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06510.
The ***earliest humoral response in patients
infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme
disease, is directed against the spirochete's 41-kDa
flagellar antigen.*** In order to map the epitopes
recognized on this antigen, 11 overlapping fragments
spanning the flagellin gene were cloned by polymerase
chain reaction and inserted into an Escherichia coli
expression vector which directed their expression as
fusion proteins containing glutathione S-transferase
at the N terminus and a flagellin fragment at the C
terminus. Affinity-purified fusion proteins were
assayed for reactivity on Western blots (immunoblots)
with sera from patients with late-stage Lyme disease.
The same immunodominant domain was bound by sera from
***17 of 18 patients*** [is 94.4% accurate]. This
domain (comprising amino acids 197 to 241) ***does not
share significant homology*** [is specific to Lyme]
with other bacterial flagellins and therefore may be
useful in serological testing for Lyme disease.

There you have it. 'MASSIVE SCIENTIFIC FRAUD to deny
treatment and pass off a bogus Lyme vaccine.
Who gave them the authority to deny us care? Who gave
them the authority to create a placebo vaccine? Who
gave them the authority to say that if you have an
antibody to OspA, you don't have Lyme disease, but
this is the vaccine?
OspA is specific enough to *prevent* Lyme, but not
specific enough to *detect* Lyme? That's the whole
point of vaccines. 'Create something against which
people create a specific antibody.
It doesn't get any more ridiculous.
The whole idea of leaving OspA out of the standard was
because they knew ahead of time that they could not
read their Western Blots in vaccinated people as
Persing describes in his patent, here:

It was a classic FRAUD and a classic case of
racketeering: Yale, SmithKline, Corixa, and Imugen-
the monopoly on testing and the monopoly on blood and
the monopoly on vaccines.

Late stage "Lyme disease" has been falsely redefined

knee, which is demonstrated here in the RICO
complaint:
http://actionlyme.org/USDOJ_COMPLAINT_RICO.htm
And we wonder, who needs an accurate test for late

And so kinda wouldn't that mean that Durland Fish
and
Edward McSweegan committed a crime here:
http://actionlyme.org/TICK_BITE_CONSPIRACY.htm
Treatment on tick bite as a standard procedure at
the
time of the vaccine traisl, would have interfered
with
the vaccine trials: No one would know if the vaccine
or the antibiotic prevented Lyme.
So they simply did not want anyone being treated on
tick bite- and they did not explain why, or the
dangers.
And since 1991 there has been an early, accurate,
and
specific test for Lyme (or any other borreliosis),
and
Yale owns the patent. The actual CLAIM of the
patent
is the validity of the method- according to FDA
rules
for a method validation.
Voila!
A major international scientific fraud committed by
Yale University and the NIH do-nothing-but-stalk and
harass-Lyme pstients, and clearly psychopathological
employee, Edward McSweegan.

Doctor's unorthodox treatments land him in the `Lyme
Wars'
BY KAREN GARLOCH
Knight Ridder Newspapers
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - By the time DeAnn Lipe found Dr.
Joseph Jemsek, she had been sick for seven years.
It started with pain in her chest and tingling in
her
toes. Then came pain in her hips and left eye,
memory
loss and incredible fatigue.
Doctors diagnosed allergies, gallbladder disease and
depression. They prescribed steroids, antibiotics
and
antidepressants. Nothing helped.
Then a nurse friend noticed a rash on Lipe's arm and
referred her to Jemsek, an infectious disease
specialist. At his Huntersville, N.C., clinic, Lipe
found her answer - Lyme disease.
That diagnosis put her in the middle of a national
medical dispute that has been dubbed the "Lyme
Wars."
At the center of the fight is Jemsek, one of 30
doctors in 10 states to be brought before licensing
boards for discipline because of the way they
diagnose
and treat the tick-borne disease.
Jemsek and other so-called "Lyme-literate" doctors
say
chronic Lyme disease is rampant, often ignored and
needs to be treated with antibiotics, both orally
and
intravenously, for months or even years.
Mainstream physicians say the approach of aggressive
Lyme doctors is dangerous and without scientific
merit. Persistent Lyme disease is rare, they say,
and
there is no evidence to support treatment with
antibiotics for such a long time.
In North Carolina, the medical board alleges that
Jemsek diagnosed and treated at least 10 patients
for
Lyme disease when they did not have it.
One of the patients died. Another, Phillip Moore,
said
he got worse while taking IV antibiotics for more
than
four months. "He was treating me for something he
couldn't prove I really had."
Moore expects to testify against Jemsek when the two
sides face off at a public hearing in Raleigh on
June
14.
Jemsek's focus on Lyme disease came after years of
concentrating on HIV. He diagnosed the first AIDS
case
in Mecklenburg County, N.C., in 1983, and opened his
own AIDS clinic in 2000.
Several months later, he saw a patient who changed
his
career.
"Do you treat Lyme disease?" she asked.
Of course, Jemsek said.
The patient said many doctors don't believe Lyme
disease exists in the Southeast. Jemsek didn't balk.
He prescribed tetracycline, an antibiotic in a pill.
Soon after, another Lyme patient contacted Jemsek.
Then another and another.
They'd heard by word of mouth or over the Internet
that he was a Lyme-literate medical doctor, willing
to
treat their difficult problems.
Their stories were similar: foggy memories, extreme
fatigue, unusual pain, fevers, numbness in their
limbs. They had been diagnosed with many ailments,
including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, depression,
multiple sclerosis and chronic fatigue syndrome.
It reminded Jemsek of the early days of AIDS, when
few
doctors wanted to treat it and patients were
desperate. He says he had a feeling: "There's
something here."
To learn more, Jemsek attended a meeting of the
International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society.
It
was created in 1998 to support doctors who believe
mainstream medicine has ignored patients with
chronic
Lyme disease.
At first, Jemsek thought many of the presentations
were strange. "They scared the hell out of me," he
said, and he considered leaving.
But he met a few doctors who impressed him with
their
knowledge and passion. They compared patients and
treatments and talked about the need for more
research.
"Essentially it's been trial and error," said Dr.
Raphael Stricker, a California hematologist and
president of the Lyme society. "Patients remain ill
after standard therapy, but when you put them on
longer treatment, they tend to do very well."
The two published studies on long-term antibiotic
treatment for Lyme disease showed no benefit. But
Stricker and Jemsek say the studies were flawed and
the treatment didn't last long enough to be helpful.
They point to a third, as yet unpublished study by a
Columbia University researcher who found improvement
in chronic Lyme patients who received antibiotics
for
70 days.
One of Stricker's most famous patients is
