The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) Lisa Torrey vs IDSA Lead attorney Eugene Egdorf of Shrader & Associates in Houston Texas Insurers Accused of Conspiring to Deny Lyme Disease Coverage https://www.courthousenews.com/insurers-accused-conspiring-deny-lyme-disease-coverage/ Excerpt: “Twenty-eight people claim in a federal antitrust lawsuit that Lyme disease victims are being forced to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for treatment because health insurers are denying coverage with bogus guidelines established by their paid consultants, who falsely say the disease can always be cured with a month of antibiotics.” The following statement regarding the IDSA Lyme treatment guidelines was taken from the attached court document: https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/LymeDisease.pdf “169. The 2006 Guidelines do not have a legitimate purpose. The IDSA, the IDSA Panelists, and the Insurance Defendants use the Guidelines as a predatory device to injure doctors who do not follow the Guidelines. The 2006 IDSA Guidelines also prevent doctors from providing patients with proven treatment options because the IDSA Guidelines are extremely restrictive. The IDSA Guidelines also limit patients' ability to obtain health care and eliminate patients' choice of medical treatment in the Lyme treatment market.” ____________________________ So it would appear that fraud and greed has controlled the Lyme disease narrative for the past three decades as worldwide health agencies have been following what has been deceitfully established here in the United States. This is a crime against humanity on a global scale leaving millions disabled from an infection capable of destroying lives while purposely misclassified as a low-risk and non-urgent health issue. Individuals identified in the lawsuit responsible for this crime against humanity: 1. Gary P. Wormser 2. Raymond J. Dattwyler 3. Eugene Shapiro 4. John J. Halperin 5. Robert B. Nadelman 6. Leonard Sigal 7. Allen Steere So it would appear that this 21st Century Runaway Plague has been deliberately denied for financial reasons but should have been put in the same health threat category as AIDS, Zika, Cancer and other life-threatening/life-altering diseases. As a result: What we are dealing with here is an antibiotic resistant/tolerant superbug but the focus over the past three decades (as seen in the Lancet article [1]) has been to discredit the sick and disabled along with the practitioners attempting to help these patients as opposed to finding new antimicrobials effective in eradicating all forms of the Borrelia spirochete; L-forms, round bodies and persister cells. The truth about this devastating disease has been kept from the public for 43 years and there are no Public Service Announcements informing the public that you could become horribly disabled or die from Lyme disease A worldwide community of physicians has been influenced by the ongoing disinformation campaign aimed at promoting the idea that Lyme is little more than a nuisance disease as health agencies across the globe are blindly following what has been deceitfully established here in the U.S. We are dealing with a life-altering/life-threatening infection with faulty/misleading antibody tests, inadequate treatment, no medical training and absolutely no disease control.
