The previous update requested participation from everyone signing this petition. I can’t emphasize the importance of the task to call Senator Lamar Alexander who is the Chairman of a national health committee. Legislators who sit on national committees are obligated to take phone calls on a national level so do not feel you are imposing when it comes to the mishandling of Lyme disease as this is a national threat to public health. We are dealing with a LIFE ALTERING infection misclassified as a simple nuisance disease. Please follow the instructions in the link below. A one minute phone script is provided. PLEASE PLEASE PARTICIPATE! https://www.change.org/p/the-us-senate-calling-for-a-congressional-investigation-of-the-cdc-idsa-and-aldf/u/14781210 Here is a recent letter addressed to The United States Attorney’s Office in NY registering a complaint against Dr Gary Wormser of New York Medical College for the fraudulent use of Taxpayer funds issued by the CDC.

Dec 15, 2015 The United States Attorney’s Office Southern District of New York One St. Andrews Plaza New York, NY 10007 Attn: Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney Dear Attorney Bharara, We have a hidden life altering epidemic in this country misclassified as a simple nuisance disease. A nuisance disease is one which is easily treated with a one-size-fits-all treatment approach. There is a mountain of evidence indicating that we have been dealing with an antibiotic resistant/tolerant superbug deceptively concealed by the Centers for Disease Control, members of the Infectious Diseases Society of America and The American Lyme disease foundation. http://www.northeastern.edu/news/2015/06/researchers-discovery-may-explain-difficulty-in-treating-lyme-disease/ Suppressed evidence: Peer Reviewed Evidence of Persistence of Lyme Disease Spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi and Tick-Borne Diseases after the mandated one-size-fits-all IDSA treatment approach: http://www.ilads.org/ilads_news/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/EvidenceofPersistence-V2.pdf Isolation of live Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato spirochetes from patients with undefined disorders and symptoms not typical for Lyme borreliosis http://www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/article/S1198-743X(15)00991-X/abstract Government funding has been misused in a deliberate and coordinated downplay of the seriousness of Lyme disease with its life altering consequences. The CDC awarded 1.5 million Taxpayer dollars to New York Medical College to support Dr Gary Wormser’s career long bias against persistent infection. His study design excluded the very sickest of patients focusing on the acute stage of disease after early treatment. Imagine a government funded cancer study where stage IV cancer patients are deliberately excluded so as to skew the results in favor of bias? https://projectreporter.nih.gov/project_info_history.cfm?aid=8138670&icde=0 This thirty year deception and coordinated propaganda campaign has influenced the nation's perceptions and the medical community’s response to Lyme disease. http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/10/07/patient-centered-care-idUSnPnq0BkH+45+PRN20151007#MuE7iL0KugrsARIZ.97 Phillip Baker and the 21st Century Plague: https://www.change.org/p/the-us-senate-calling-for-a-congressional-investigation-of-the-cdc-idsa-and-aldf The fraudulent misuse of government funds through a New York medical college is most likely criminal and requires an immediate investigation. “In the fullness of time, the mainstream handling of chronic Lyme disease will be viewed as one of the most shameful episodes in the history of medicine because elements of academic medicine, elements of government and virtually the entire insurance industry have colluded to deny a disease.” -Dr. Kenneth B. Liegner, Lyme specialist and internist in Armonk, N.Y. The following email thread registered a complaint with the Directors of the Office of Research Integrity which limits its investigations to falsification, fabrication, or plagiarism (F/F/P) of research data so Wormser’s misclassification of disease and misuse of government funds to support his personal bias is overlooked. This deception to the American public has taken place in the State of New York and will continue unabated unless there is an investigation into the fraudulent misuse of government allocated funding for Lyme disease research. Sincerely, Carl Tuttle Hudson, NH When “evidence based medicine” has been spun to fit bias agendas and the patient voice has been intentionally ignored who investigates the dishonest science?
