Dr. Tim Brooks , Britain's 'Allen Steere', is in charge of Lyme Disease diagnostics in the UK. He espouses all the flawed policies of CDC/IDSA that have led to the epidemic of suffering and hopelessness faced by Lyme patients worldwide.

At the RIPL biowarfare laboratory at Porton Down, Brooks oversees all Lyme blood testing where he:

*routinely informs doctors that, except for patients in the immediate post-tickbite stage, anyone negative using the 2-tier Elisa-western blot CANNOT  have Lyme

*totally DENIES the existence of chronic Lyme Disease

*informs doctors that persisting symptoms after standard short courses of antibiotics CANNOT be due to persistent infection, thereby DENYING TREATMENT to desperately ill patients

*has FAILED so badly in his public health duties that GPs routinely miss even textbook EM rashes IN THE MOST HYPER-ENDEMIC AREAS  of the UK
