I am encouraged by John Caudwell's words & hope he is fighting for all!

"CAUDWELL CAMPAIGN LYME
Thank you all so much for your continued messages of support and your personal stories which of course whilst invoking tremendous sadness in me, also motivates me even more to try and help solve this problem. The only positive thing I can say about
Lyme is that it seems to bring a unique sense of kindness and humanitarianism in everyone that suffers. There are so many desperate people, desperate families in so many countries and I am constantly getting asked ‘can’t you stir the pot for us?’
My strategy is very clear! I need to encourage the UK authorities to see the reality of #Lyme. Chronic Lyme needs to be accepted as potentially the greatest health threat of our time and investigated accordingly. It needs to be tested for in a proven laboratory and treated according to the protocol of many highly experienced doctors who have achieved amazing results on people who would have otherwise been virtually written off.
I am sorry that I am not able to answer your mail. That would be impossible and would really distract me from the challenge that I have. One very experienced Lyme doctor gave me a 10% chance of convincing the UK authorities. Well, when I do convince them this will be a model that we can use for the rest of the world.
Update on my progress
Over the last 5 weeks, since 5 members of my family proved positive out of 5 tested, I have been building my knowledge up, talking to world leading doctors, treating my family and recruiting a team to help me with this challenge. Next week, I interview chief executives for the role and hopefully will find somebody who I believe is strong enough and skilful enough to help me change perceptions and protocols that will eventually rescue millions of chronically ill people from a dreadful existence.
Also, during that time, my families positive results increased to 10 out of 12 tested. My home is like a Lyme clinic but we are very optimistic of positive outcomes and without doubt my own health has already improved. My memory is still fairly poor but way better than it was 6 weeks ago. My burning brain and eyes are almost back to normal and my energy is returning. This of course is very interesting because if this continues then it ratifies the treatment that I have been having.
I haven’t yet spoken to the wonderful Lyme associations around the world, purely because of lack of time, needing to be more knowledgeable, putting all my energies into my family health and developing a world changing team.
I would love to meet with the various organisations soon in order to see how we can be more effective and united together.
I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THIS WILL BE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF MY LIFE BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT WE CAN CHANGE NHS POLICY, BEAT LYME AND SAVE THIS SUFFERING."
