For those who need a break from McSweegan's fanatical multi-posting,from
different email addresses, of his own bullshite....

Some truth from www.lymetruth.org

1991 (Vineyard Gazette): "The man in the street--from Long Island to our
shores--knows that Lyme disease is called the great impersonator. Lyme has been
misdiagnosed in thousands of cases, including Alzheimer's disease. The last
stages of Lyme disease bring persistent arthritis; crutches and wheelchairs;
advanced neurological problems that can be devastating and irreversible;
dementia; death."

1994 (Letter to The New York Times.) "You cite the Centers for Disease
Control's numbers of 9,667 cases of Lyme disease in 1992 which bears no
relationship to the estimate of 1 million cases of Lyme disease today in 49
states."

1994 (Vineyard Gazette.): "Look at the Russian Roulette that Yale-New Haven
Hospital triggered for IBM's Richard Gerstner by their original misdiagnosis;
then treatment with 'steroids that depress the immune system and can make
infections even worse' [Wall Street Journal 08/02/93]. Then Gerstner's four
years of drifting through doctors' offices, hospitals, operating rooms; in and
out of parlors of podiarists, biofeedback practioners, pain managers and
accupunturists--before diagnosis and treatment of his Lyme disease."

1994 (Private letter): "His (Steere's) arrogance is typical of the insecurity
and immaturity of many academicians who will not admit that they don't know
everything"

1995 (New Haven Register): "Those who play down the seriousness of Lyme disease
try to con us into thinking that at any stage of the disease almost everybody
gets cured. There is no definitive cure, only treatment. No tests indicate that
the bacteria have been killed."

1996 (Vineyard Gazette): "Dr. Quinn has reported on my review of Polly Murray's
book--a book that he admitted he hadn't read. If he had, he would learn that
Dr. Allen C. Steere, who he considers "the acknowledged leading authority in
the field," might be considered one of the "charlatans who gave them bogus
diagnoses" by some of the many thousands who have been misdiagnosed or
discarded by him and his colleagues."

1997 (New Haven Register): "Dr. Robert T. Schoen of Yale is quoted as saying
that when he contradicts a previous diagnosis of Lyme disease by another
doctor, his intention is to reassure the patient. This remark ranks, in
silliness if not stupidity, with the statement by his colleague, Eugene
Shapiro, that 'there are probably better ways to spend health care dollars than
on research for a Lyme disease vaccine.'"

1997 (TIME magazine.): "Rather than the 16,000 cases of Lyme disease your chart
showed, there are more than half a million, and perhaps even as many as 2
million Americans who are infected with the disease, but not all of them are
aware of it."

1998 (New Haven Register): "The Yale School of Medicine, which boasts of Nobel
winners in many medical disciplines, should be leading us to the truth about
Lyme disease, but Yale doesn't yet appear to be getting its money's worth out
of the neophyte dean, Dr. David A. Kessler."


***
I am frustrated by the conneries (politely translated as "imbecilities,
absurdities, stupidities") from most "experts" on Lyme disease who qualify for
the root word. The "120 Infamous Statements" listed in the December, 1999 Issue
22 of Lymetruth represent only a fraction of these dishonest and greedy persons
who are still threatened or paid by government and academia to disinform.
