Greetings from Jenna, I hope you all have been well. I have not been on my petition for a while as I have been super busy doing research for a presentation and a series of analytical docs on Lyme and the CDC and NIH. I returned late Saturday night (May 21st, 2016) from a Lyme advocacy effort in Washington DC. It was wonderful to work with such dedicated and talented advocates. We had a series of useful meetings with legislators and their staff and held a Lyme Disease Science and Policy Challenges Forum in Congress’s Rayburn House Office Building. I want to give special thanks to Dan Byers and Bruce Fries who really made this happen. The group included Allie Cashel, Author of Suffering the Silence: Chronic Lyme Disease in an Age of Denial; Ronald Stram, MD, Stram Center for Integrative Medicine; Holly Ahern, Associate Professor of Microbiology, SUNY Adirondack speaking on Microbiological Challenges of Tick-Borne Infections, Tammy Crawford, from Focus on Lyme and representing Translational Genomics Research Institute; Lance A. Liotta, MD PhD, Medical Director Clinical Proteomics Lab, George Mason University; Bruce Fries, President of Patient Centered Care Advocacy Group; Dan Byers, Senior Director for policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for 21st Century Energy and myself speaking on Government Oversight and Policy Challenges. The Lyme forum presentations will be released in a video. However, I wanted to give my complicated topic more time than the 20 minute video. And so, Sunday I put together this video based on my detailed notes and research. The topic of this video is CDC & Lyme - Oversight Required. This video was done at home and my dog Moon decided to participate in the third part of the video. I hope you find it informative. Here follow the three links – one to each part of the video: Part 1 of 3 - CDC Lyme Oversight Required https://www.facebook.com/shares/view?id=193831394344440&overlay=1 Part 2 of 3 - CDC Lyme Oversight Required https://www.facebook.com/Hemimamma/posts/1025983947438039 if this doesn't work try my public FB page and scroll for part 2 https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100011527417750 Part 3 of 3 - CDC Lyme Oversight Required https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=193833497677563&id=100011527417750¬if_t=like¬if_id=1463979290956575 For those of you who would like even more information on this topic I have put together some very detailed analyses I am willing to share.

Bye for now – Jenna
