Everyone, please leave a comment on this site letting everyone know this information isn't true, because believe me it isn't.

I think the comments have blasted the author rather well. Lyme patients are very informed. Lots of hands on knowledge!!

Is artistlike someone here? Because his/her post in comments re the broken foot analogy is pure genius! The author of the original article is a pompous blowhard! Look at his most recent post in the comments section.

I have seen the author post nearly the same article in several dubious "infotainment" websites. He is an advocate against "pseudoscience" which apparently is everything under the sun that hasn't yet been proved by a scientific study. Good intentions but woefully ignorant and dangerous for him to have such a prominent platform.

I agree w/ PeteZa, there have been several great comments provided by lymees. Unfortunately--or maybe fortunately--over 25,000 people have read the article. If anyone has some free time, it would be great if you would contact Forbes and ask that the article be retracted. Commenting is good but contacting the publication with complaints is probably more effective.

Cool, I just sent them an email asking them to take the article down. I explained that too many people were being given false information.

I was short, sweet and to the point.
