CAUTION Controversial topic: Drug Rehab VS Lyme Treatment

This might be a very controversial topic for many of you here. Please I am not trying to get you all fired up about a certain subject....but yes I will speak for the minority, perhaps, in this area.

I see many TV ads in the past years advertising drug addiction and alcoholism rehabilitation centers. The number of centers that offer this type treatment has grown at light speed recently as you know.
I understand the ramification that drug and alcohol use have in our society and have watched family members, friends and friends of friends dealing with both alcohol and drug abuse...sometimes death being the final stage of their addiction. I have a son who is inclined to alcohol addiction and this bothers me a lot. But that is another story. I know that this is huge problem in our society and a tough road. Although I never both the theory of "disease" in either cases....now it all comes together suddenly of how the anti-drug & anti-alschool abuse movement has finely crafted the disease as a prime profit making.
I know that many drug and alcohol rehab centers are covered by health insurance. In a recent TV ad of one of the centers apparently a insurance co will cover up to 30K for treatment.

Now we get to lyme disease.....a REAL disease....not a choice (I do not want to discuss or argue with you my statement of "choice")...something we were unfortunate to get infected with. If lyme disease, actually ...if chronic lyme disease would be recognized, many treatment centers for lyme would accept health insurance, but of course we barely can get treated the first time or recognized we even have lyme.

I find it appalling that our society approves, and pay for treatment of drug and alcohol but not for treatment of lyme.

It usually takes a powerful person to get something before the masses jump on board. I think of the Betty Ford clinic - this is where the alcohol treatment center started in the early 1980's.

We need a lyme center ..i dream of it ..it has 100 beds in old hotel ,organic cafe ,iv room ,rife room ,detox room ,apitherapy ,research and developmwnt ,apothicary , nurses and takes insurance ..can some one get me jon caudwells number

Really ...whats it cost ?

There is more than one....>Evita I have been looking at them before lyme....however they all have some sort of legal matter going on either with FDA or some ex customers.
If I am paying I expect total 100% recovery. None of them can offer that.

I think with lyme and co-infections - it isn't so much recovery - but life back in balance. Once it is in your system, it is in your system. BUT I do think it is a lovely vision to see treatment centers for people chronically ill with "probable" lyme or even CDC positive lyme where they can:

a. get treatment
b. be a part of scientific research studies to expand the knowledge
c. with..both parts supported by society.. hybrid model: govt. funding, non-profit funding, crowd-funding

We cannot hope in something happening when lyme is not recognized as a disease and only "cured" with few rounds of abx.
Also for us who use herbs...it gives people the wrong impression, like we actually not sick. Not really sick according to normal recognized parameters. This way of treating (because we are desperate) dawrfs the disease to almost a cold.
