Dr. Auwaerter,
While you contemplate a response to my email below dated June19th regarding the nine out of ten randomly selected psychiatric patients with evidence of tick-borne infections, I would like to call attention to Dr. Brian Fallon’s findings of autopsy specimens from a patient previously treated for Lyme disease. Persistent infection with the Lyme disease spirochete was identified in the brain of the Lyme patient who died with a diagnosis of Lewy body dementia.

Your recommendation “not to test for Lyme” in neurologic conditions might not be sound advice after all. So what else have you gotten wrong and propagated over the past three decades Dr. Auwaerter?
