Perhaps someone already posted about
this and I missed it.
A week ago, AMMI - the Canadian equivalent to the IDSA - (Association of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Disease Canada ) posted an updated position paper on Lyme, a "fact" sheet, and a press release. These documents can be accessed in the first 3 links below.
The position paper is very light on real facts and science - and shows clearly what Canadians who have Lyme Borreliosis Complex are up against. The harm that this position, filled with misinformation, is causing to the lives of tens of thousands of Canadians is immeasurable. I think of the many Canadian children being diagnosed this year alone with autism,mental illness, learning disabilities, and more -- and how a proper response could save so much suffering for those children where this may be a misdiagnosis. Check out Lyme Foundation's recent Facebook post (last link, below) on how Lyme treatment for Autistic Children in France made a significant difference in 4 out of 5 cases.
But we on this forum already know this...as we've heard from and followed a number of parents (including a number of Canadians) who have had their child's or children's autism and other diagnoses disappear or improve significantly with the proper treatment.
I am so angered and ashamed of these "public servants" and the continued pain and suffering they are causing to the citizens they serve...and for the entire tone of the report. It is like trying to argue with deniers of climate change - where do you start?
If you cut and paste these links they should work.
