It seems they don't like them anymore than we do!

or if that doesn't work do a search on this and it will pull up the article and you can download from there. Worth the read.

WOW!! I KNEW I liked the Germans!!!

I would highly recommend that anyone that can muddle their way through this do so!!!

I believe this shows why Infectious Disease docs are soooo screwy when it comes to TBI's

Thanks for posting this KO-LD

Would love to read. Since I got my lyme there I'm curious.

Couldn't access and it's probably a typo on my part since Traveler found it. Any chance you could copy and paste the website?

I'll try later when my brain might be going through a different phase.

Thanks for posting this KO. It's good to know there's sanity somewhere in the world. Wish we could all go to Germany for treatment!

All I can say is that I hoped they listened. The German paper shows that the conclusions by the IDSA (standard treatment is enough, chronic Lyme doesn't exist, etc.) are wrong.
