Was Lyme Disease a Lab Leak? The Sinister History of One of the Fastest-Growing Infectious Diseases

But they ignored it because they said, well, that's not a very good test, so we're going to ignore it and fire you as patients because we don't believe in chronic Lyme disease. So all of a sudden, we had no place to go. We both felt like we were on the verge of death. We felt like it was like a month before we had to sell our house because we couldn't work.

And so that's when we found this very active online community of Lyme patients. And they directed us to a doctor who was very experienced in tick-borne diseases. She tested us, found our co-infections in Lyme disease, and we were on our way to getting better.

So it's Dr. Christine Green. She's trying to retire. Got it. She has trouble saying no, but she's really good. And that's the point I would like to make is that most doctors spend 15 minutes in med school learning about tick-borne diseases, but there's so much more to it. especially with the complexities of multiple germs. So it helps to get someone who's been to that rodeo many times before.

And that's go to limedisease.org, find someone who knows what they're doing. It would be just like if you had a rare brain tumor, you would find the person who had cured it a thousand times. Same with tick-borne diseases.

So it took about five years, but we both got over Lyme disease in our second co-infection, which is a red blood cell parasite called Babesia. And we were good for a while. My husband ended up relapsing a couple times, but then he would just go back on antibiotics and beat it off again. then COVID came along and he has long COVID now.

So I feel like we're going through this chronic disease nightmare again. And same sort of resistance with, uh, chronic Lyme as long COVID, you know, he went to the hospital here and they said, Oh yeah, we have a long COVID clinic. And all they had to offer him was talk therapy. Now, uh, I think most people with long COVID would agree that talk therapy does not help.

I like the FLCCC website. It's a group of emergency physicians who said, heck with this long COVID. We want to keep people out of our ERs because they're clogging everything up. And they did a bunch of literature-based research on prevention for COVID and treating it once you have it.

So I think they recently renamed their site, but they have really good protocols for all stages of COVID and vaccine injury. Putrino Lab. In the East Coast, Putrino and Amy Pearl, I think they're working on some good studies. I think the NIH $1.1 billion was largely wasted on studies on treatment, and I hope with the new administration, they will fund more meaningful studies.
