If you haven’t listened to Dr. Burrascano’s testimony I suggest you do it now and forward the link to as many people as possible as his experience treating an infection that doesn’t respond to antibiotics is highly credible. Everyone needs to hear this!!!!!

Dear Attorney Moore Leonhardt,
Thank you for acknowledging my letter of December 26, 2018 addressed to NH Congresswoman Ann McLane Kuster and thank you for representing Dr. Sin Lee in his lawsuit against the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.
I highly recommend listening to the following testimony of Dr. Joseph J. Burrascano Jr., anyone who doesn’t believe that Lyme disease is an antibiotic resistant/tolerant superbug intentionally/deliberately concealed, then they must be incredibly naive or a public health official from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control responsible for this inexcusable travesty.
We need an immediate Manhattan Project to end the unimaginable pain and suffering as public outcry has been ignored for three decades.
Please listen to this testimony!

History of Lyme Disease by Joseph J. Burrascano, Jr. MD.
Summary:
Joseph Burrascano, MD's cogent history of Lyme: East Hampton, Long Island NY had the highest rate of Lyme in the world. 1965 internist Sidney Robin coined the term "Montauk Knee".
1985 87 seronegative patients all had spirochetes produced using Alan McDonald’s culture technique. “Seronegativity is real”
@7:00 re: PTLDS - "There's never, ever, ever been a description of this Post Lyme Syndrome from an immunological point of view that clarifies what it is and applies to every single patient".
@9.05 Stony Brook study of 21 day doxycycline "... had a 100% FAILURE RATE... THEY KICKED ME OUT OF THE STUDY AFTER THAT; AND THEY NEVER REPORTED THOSE RESULTS."
@9.35 Patient Evaluation: "I took advantage of Dr. McDonald's culture... after treatment ended, if you waited a few weeks, they [patients] were all culture positive. It was failed treatment and a persistence of the infection."
@12.45 Late 1980's "Rocephin came onto the scene... 100% failure rate of 2 weeks of Rocephin, even at high dose... Duration of treatment is really, really what's important." Findings presented @ 1990 Stockholm International Conference.
@13.50 633 patient records reviewed indicated at least 4 months treatment for those "with multiple bites, Lyme arthritis, heart murmurs, hormonally active women, those sick for more than 1 year, age over 60, acute carditis, documented immune deficiency, failed oral treatment."
@26.50 Discovered on lecture circuit Dr. Ed Masters from MO, John Druhl, NJ & Paul Levy, San Francisco all independently concluded higher doses and longer treatment necessary. They'd never met or communicated previously.
1990 NIH Gold Stain - 73 chronic patients, 13.5 months mean treatments. Discovered blebs and biofilms.
@31.19 "So, whatever happened to this great gold stain? Know what? Nothing. NIH stopped the funding... closed the whole thing down and never again did they ask front line Lyme doctors to contribute specimens to their studies. So, there's some politics one more time."
@32.58 Co infections seem to affect only chronic Lyme patients.
@34.19 Lyme is the thing that takes over the immune system, weakens our defenses….
@36.52 Lyme is an immune suppressive illness….
@38.25 McDonald presented cultures at "... a meeting of NYS Medical Society... detractors were people from Yale and Stony Brook who didn't want their patented serologic tests to be usurped, and they started claiming that McDonald was falsifying his data and so forth."
