For over three decades now Lyme disease here in the United States has been portrayed as hard to catch and easily treated:
Lyme Disease Is Hard to Catch And Easy to Halt, Study Finds

But patient testimony all across America is describing something entirely different:
The absence of a bulls-eye rash after tick bite allows patients to progress to severe neurological disease instead of obtaining a prompt diagnosis and early treatment.
Hidden in plain sight:
Duke University Oncologist Dr. Neil Spector required a heart transplant after his infection was left untreated for years while serology was repeatedly negative for Lyme disease.

“Fatal Lyme carditis caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi rarely is identified. Here, we describe the pathologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular findings of five case patients.”

“Specific DNA sequences of Borrelia burgdorferi were identified in cutaneous lesions from 9 patients (follicle center lymphoma: 3/20; immunocytoma: 3/4; marginal zone B-cell lymphoma: 2/20; diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: 1/6).”

“Rudenko and colleagues reported culture confirmation of chronic Lyme disease in 24 patients in North Carolina, Florida, and Georgia. All had undergone previous antibiotic treatment.”
10. Granulomatous hepatitis associated with chronic Borrelia burgdorferi infection: a case report
“The patient had active, systemic Borrelia burgdorferi infection and consequent Lyme hepatitis, despite antibiotic therapy.”
11. Seronegative Chronic Relapsing Neuroborreliosis.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7796837
“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.”
12. Persistent Borrelia Infection in Patients with Ongoing Symptoms of Lyme Disease
http://www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/6/2/33
“This pilot study recently identified chronic Lyme disease in twelve patients from Canada. All of these patients were culture positive for infection (genital secretions, skin and blood) even after multiple years on antibiotics so there was no relief from current antimicrobials. Some of these patients had taken as many as eleven different types of antibiotics.”

Of course none of these references are promoted by those who have controlled the narrative for the past three decades and for that reason “you don’t get it until YOU GET IT!" and then it is too late.
Everything that has been fraudulently established here in the U.S. is affecting lives worldwide as public health officials around the globe are blindly following what has been deceitfully established here in America; effectively turning a blind eye to this life-altering/life-threatening disease; a twenty-first century plague that became too expensive to treat as outlined in the racketeering lawsuit.

Patients who miss the narrow window of opportunity for successful short term treatment (and advance to late stage) are left to fend for themselves as was the case with the entire Tuttle family.
Family history can be found here: Who is Carl Tuttle?
Those who treat Lyme disease exclusively are seeing higher cancer rates in the chronic Lyme patient population and my personal case is no exception:

I would like to continue my efforts as the voice of the horribly disabled Lyme community but I also need to focus on my health so any contribution would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
