I've already signed, but I wanted to make that link into a hyperlink so that all people had to do was click on it! Some here have enough cognitive dysfunction that trying to copy and paste is difficult.

Thanks for posting this! =)

I've signed it.

Someone has got to explain to me why the IDSA ignored the fact that in at least 3 of those human trials, levels of fatigue dramatically improved for those on longer term antibiotics.

Its almost as if they are intentionally avoiding the truth.

In my opinion, that's what they are doing - avoiding the truth.

Take a look at these papers:
www.clinicaladvisor.com/controversy-continues-to-fuel-the-lyme-war/article/117160/

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20946067

You will see that we are being told that they (IDSA) base their treatment standards not on facts, but "expert opinion" mainly. It's easy for us patients to see that they are relying on the wrong "experts"!!!
