It's a shame that the medical community (in any country) doesn't see enough value in saving people from misery and losing their lives from a treatable condition. It take money, and a lot of it, to turn research found on a doctor's blog into a peer reviewed article - not to mention trying to get past those that are so biased that they would stop the research from reaching that stage. Getting it published is a whole other issue too - it has to be accepted, and if the 'powers that be' don't agree with the position of the paper, it simply won't ever get published. There are a couple of obscure sites that will publish lots of things that the main scientific community sees no value in, but that won't help with this situation either.
So the ball is in the scientific and medical communities - the information is out there, it's up to them to open their eyes and accept the truth for what it is. Lyme is alive and well in every single country. There are some areas where it's more prominent, but no where it can be escaped. It's past time it was accepted and they started coming together to work on solving these issues.
