Diagnosis and management of Lyme neuroborreliosis
"Dear Ms. Ibrahim,
I would like to call attention to the following statement found in the Halperin paper:
“….there is no evidence that prolonged post-treatment neurocognitive symptoms are related to nervous system infection - either as a triggering event or as a cause of ongoing symptoms.”
You might want to read the following case study from Stony Brook Lyme Clinic. I understand the patient received thirteen spinal taps, multiple courses of IV and oral meds, and relapsed after each one, proven by CSF antigens and/or PCR. The only way this patient (said to be a physician) remained in remission was to keep her on open ended clarithromycin- was on it for 22 months by the time of publication.

Abstract
We report an unusual patient with evidence of Borrelia burgdorferi infection who experienced repeated neurologic relapses despite aggressive antibiotic therapy. Each course of therapy was associated with a Jarisch-Herxheimer-like reaction. Although the patient never had detectable free antibodies to B. burgdorferi in serum or spinal fluid, the CSF was positive on multiple occasions for complexed anti-B. burgdorferi antibodies, B. burgdorferi nucleic acids and free antigen.

You may want to ask Dr. Halperin why he excluded this case study from his so-called “expert review.”
Might I remind you Ms. Ibrahim that selective use of literature, only citing studies supporting Halperin’s viewpoint cannot be considered an unbiased critical review.
Please see the attached letter addressed to CDC Director Brenda Fitzgerald, MD highlighting yet another case of persistent infection after antibiotic treatment along with autopsy reports showing histopathologic findings consistent with neurologic manifestations of chronic Lyme disease.

Please be advised that John J Halperin has been named in a racketeering lawsuit here in the United States.

Come on!! Let's support his efforts!! If you haven't signed the petition, then please do!! If you aren't sharing it, please do!!! This helps to inform people that aren't aware of what's going on - the deceptive behavior, if not actual crimes, needs to be exposed and the only way we have is to make people aware of these "dealings" and to expose them for what they are! This has been the status quo for the last 40 years with Lyme disease!!
