Subject: Dealin wid duh IDSA Idiots- Gary Wormser, Yikes

Date: Sunday, May 28, 2006 21:24:24 [View Source]

I already informed you not to fuss over this fraud,
Wormser. Here's why you should not believe a single
thing he says:

Wormser knows what DNA primers to use to detect
borreliae- they aren't OspA primers (1999):
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=9986813&query_hl=12&itool=pubmed_docsum

Whatever primers they use to detect borrelia in ticks,
such as RNA and flagellin DNA are the same primers
that can be used in humans. This is never done, even
though they know OspA will rarely be detected in it's
initial form, if at all, in a mammalian host, because
of selection pressures (because Lyme is a relapsing
fever borreliosis, because they ALL ARE, duh).

Besides, we don't care of we have Borrelia burgdorferi
or Borrelia outer mongolii or Borrelia antarcticii, as
long we know it ain't Munchausen's or we're putting
ticks in our kids' beds:
http://actionlyme.org/MCSWEEGAN_AND_MUNCHAUSENS.htm

Wormser recently published that he now all of a sudden
knows how to detect Lyme in the blood (May 2005)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15867407&query_hl=1&itool=pubmed_docsum

He obviously knew borreliae disseminated in the blood
in 1999, so that means Wormser is an outrageous liar
and fraud.

Valid Markers of Illness
http://actionlyme.org/CLINTON_CONF_II_MARKERS_OF_DISEASE.wmv

Don't bother with these people. They have no idea
what they are talking about, nor do they know in what
direction they should go, because instead of
antibiotics, they had to pass off a bogus vaccine that
they knew never worked.

It was about money and not doing what the data said to
do. I discussed this all with Pfizer many years ago.
Market Analysts make research direction decisions, and
*there* you have it: Now we have nothing, because
non-scientists made these decisions. 15 million
worthless Cox-2 inhibitors, and 17 million
neurotransmitter blockers, and the American
Psychiatric Association saying, "There will be no more
spirochete-like discoveries..."

Don't listen to any of them. They have demonstrated
they have defaulted their right to make any
proclamations. Here is Anthony Fauci saying "we have
a Lyme vaccine" when it was already off the market
because it *wasn't* a vaccine:
http://actionlyme.org/The_Fauci_Files.htm

PUH-leeze.

CDC's test for Lyme is totally invalid, but don't take
my word for it. Look up the rules for the validation
of a analytical method. Yale met that criteria in
1991, yet thousands have died and become disabled
because we are still not allowed to use their patented
test to early-detect and early-treat.

CDC is lying to the public, does so over and over
again, and their argument is that they have made these
decisions and calculated risks *for* us as regards
vaccines.

There is not one single agency or department of the
federal "government" that is not corrupt, incompetent,
or both, and so this is not a government. We don't
have to listen to a single thing they say. It's been
5.5 years since I demonstrated to the FDA, in their
own terms, and as per their own rules, that the CDC's
testing for Lyme is invalid:
http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/01/slides/3680s2_11.pdf

*I* am not paying for this incompetence and deliberate
abuse and if the USDOJ does not want to go after these
crooks, I will simply warn other nations not to let
any American so-called scientists onto their soil to
experiment on their population, and neither should
they do business with SmithKline because SmithKline is
formally in partnership with the NIH in Biodefense.

(Beware the military-industrial complex...)
http://actionlyme.org/LYME_A_BIOWEAPONi.htm

"The Army is contributing $4.8 million toward the
research because the government thinks ticks could be
used in a bioterrorist plot to spread infectious
diseases."

30 years of this crap is enough. Wormser's
credibility is a negative number.

If some insurance company denies you care, sue the
State of Connecticut. You'll win. DCF declared this
to be evidence of my insanity, and had all Yale people
perjure themselves and say I don't have Lyme and that
Lyme is not a brain disease in the false criminal
charges complaint:
http://actionlyme.org/USDOJ_COMPLAINT_RICO.htm

http://actionlyme.org/Schoen.htm As you can see, my
daughter had 7 CDC bands at 25 months old. This is
congenital infection. Yale says congenital infection
can kill via the Lyme brain damage:
http://actionlyme.org/Congenital_Brain_Infection_of_Newborn_Resulting_in_Death.htm

I gave this data to Kristine Ragaglia (and others)
when she was head of the DCF. Ragaglia's soon to be
ex-husband was working with the Hartford Lyme group
during this same time, helping them set up the Jan
2004 Blumenthal Hearing.

OH-YEAH, round em up. Class action.

Infectious Disease Experts Offer Advice To Prevent And
Treat Lyme Disease

Main Category: Infectious Diseases / Bacteria /
Viruses News
Article Date: 26 May 2006 - 0:00am (PDT)

It's tick season, but gardeners, hikers, and others
enjoying the great outdoors
shouldn't let concerns about Lyme disease keep them
inside. A few tips to keep
ticks away, and some advice from infectious diseases
doctors about Lyme disease,
should help you enjoy the spring and summer weather,
according to the Infectious
Diseases Society of America (IDSA), a medical
professional association
representing the nation's foremost experts in Lyme and
other infectious
diseases.

"With tick season upon us, it's important to put Lyme
disease into perspective,"
said Gary P. Wormser, MD, chairman of the IDSA expert
panel on Lyme disease and
chief, division of infectious diseases, department of
medicine, New York Medical
College, Valhalla. "The vast majority, more than 95
percent, of people who do
contract the disease are easily treated and cured with
short-term antibiotic
therapy."

Lyme disease caused by Borrelia burgdorferi is a
bacterial infection transmitted
by a particular type of tick that typically feeds on
small mammals, birds and
deer but may also feed on cats, dogs and humans.
Although the disease has been
reported in nearly all states, most cases are
concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic
and northeast states. A number of cases also have been
reported in Wisconsin,
Minnesota and northern California.

Most people who are infected have a circular, red rash
surrounding the site of a
tick bite, swelling in their joints and, sometimes,
facial paralysis. "The
symptoms are sometimes alarming, but with proper
diagnosis and treatment almost
all will go away in a few weeks," Dr. Wormser said.

Preventing Lyme Disease

"The best method for managing Lyme disease is to avoid
tick-infested areas. If
exposure to ticks is unavoidable, measures should be
taken to decrease the risk
that ticks will attach to the skin," he said. Some
simple steps to avoid the
tick bites that cause Lyme disease include:

-- Wear protective, light-colored clothing that
minimizes exposed skin and
provides a contrast to ticks, making them more
visible.

-- Use tick and insect repellents and apply them to
your exposed skin or
clothing, following directions on product labels.

-- If you are outdoors and may have been exposed to
ticks, check your entire
body every day to locate and remove ticks, especially
at the end of the day.

-- Check children's skin thoroughly, including skin
folds and the head, scalp
and neck area.

Treating Lyme Disease

Persons who remove attached ticks should be monitored
closely for signs and
symptoms of tick-borne diseases for up to 30 days.
Single-dose doxycycline
therapy may be considered for deer tick bites when the
tick has been on the
person for at least 36 hours. Most patients who
develop Lyme disease are cured
with a single course of 14-28 days of antibiotics,
depending on the stage of
their illness. Occasionally a second course of
treatment is necessary. More
prolonged antibiotic therapy is not recommended and
may be dangerous, according
to Dr. Wormser.http://www.idsociety.org/

"Nearly all people -- more than 95 percent -- who do
get sick with Lyme disease
and are treated with the recommended course of
antibiotics get better and go on
with their lives," said Dr. Wormser, lead author of
IDSA's 2000 guidelines on
Lyme disease. He also is chair of the expert panel
currently considering
revisions to the guidelines, which are due out later
this summer. The expert
panel reviews the published scientific literature
related to the topic before
reaching consensus on guideline recommendations.

Chronic or Post-Lyme Disease Syndrome

A small number of patients report a variety of
non-specific symptoms such as
generalized pain, joint pain or fatigue following an
episode of Lyme disease
that has been treated appropriately.

A small number of physicians advocate treating these
patients with repeated or
prolonged courses of oral or intravenous (IV)
antibiotics, but Dr. Wormser
cautioned that "there are no convincing published data
showing such treatment to
be effective."

Furthermore, long-term antibiotic therapy may be
dangerous and it also can lead
to drug-resistant superbugs that are impossible to
treat, he added.

"These patients with symptoms that persist for weeks,
months or longer appear to
be a heterogeneous group, and they report non-specific
symptoms that also are
associated with a number of other medical diseases,
both infectious and
noninfectious," he said. Patients who continue to have
symptoms that persist
after appropriate antibiotic treatment for Lyme
disease should consult their
physicians about whether the diagnosis was accurate or
if they may have a
different or new illness.
