We do not post the names of doctors on this forum without the doctors having given their permission in writing to Canlyme, or by their publishing publicly about Lyme.
Thank you.
There are good reasons for this.
We have a hard enough time getting and keeping the doctors who will treat us. They likely have a practice of many patients, not simply those with Lyme. If their name gets put on the internet they quickly get too many patients calling trying to get Lyme treatment, so they withdraw from seeing anyone with suspected Lyme.
Many people "insist" they have Lyme disease when they clearly do not. There are many reasons for illness.
We then lose the doctor because it all becomes too much.
Those in control of our medical licensing boards appear to be more of an extension of profit based industry who have no business making health care decisions. Specifically they follow the very conflicted US government CDC, IDSA, and the NIH who are simply in many ways puppets for the medical money machine of the world (and these US entities go to great lengths to impose themselves on other countries like Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Germany, Japan, and many others). The overall European acceptance of the US government nonsense is quite low.
As time has proven, those countries who follow the US mentality invariably hunt those doctors who do treat Lyme, and proceed to place a cloud of suspicion over them regardless of proof. (Canada has an almost 100% Lyme doctor hunt record)
Most doctors fear this unfair scrutiny and do so with good reason, so they tell patients to leave the country.
We must protect our resources and defend our doctors.
The global threat to the mega-medical insurance industry to recognize a pandemic already underway is in the billions. They can offload a huge portion of the costs by limiting the numbers of diagnoses, deeming them as psychiatric or malingers, loading the cost onto tax funded disability and health care systems. This is done on several fronts. Controlling the doctors as indicated above is one way.
Medical insurance companies regularly turn down disability claims for lyme. They won't pay for treatment past four weeks because it is deemed an untreatable "post lyme syndrome", which is a non-proven almost laughable theory. The worst insult is then these global insurers won't cover you for life insurance because you have this unproven form of Lyme disease. I am living proof of this.
If you tell the insurance industry you are sooo much better while on treatment, they tell you that is anecdotal and not good enough. They won't fund the necessary lengthy studies to turn this from anecdotal to evidence based, so we then look to the government.
The government strangely demands for-profit industry co-funding, and have even set up government funded foundations to insure that relationship of government/for-profit industry is in tact by insisting upon for profit industry co-funding. The circle is complete, and we victims are left floundering.
The for-profit medical machine makes trillions of dollars annually by exaggerating antibiotic resistance claims, therefore not treating active infections with antibiotics, while designing a new drug to treat every symptom of these chronic diseases that leave a 'global millions of human lab rat group' to sell their wares to.
We are apparently acceptable collateral damage according to the Infectious Disease doctor (IDSA) experts (who deserve to be renamed as anti-infectious disease doctors). They have no desire to find out what is making us so ill, only a desire to tell us we don't have Lyme disease... wierd or what considering they call themselves experts in infectious diseases?
