An excerpt:

"So, if doctors would just let their hair down a little bit and take a big dose of humility and honesty, they'd be so much happier. It would set them free. You know, I never worry about not knowing something any more. I worry about those who feel they must always be right. AIDS taught me that, because we didn't know anything. We were up to our asses in alligators, and we were just trying to do what we could. It was a very creative period for me and a lot of other people. But some people look at you like a reckless cowboy when you do something different, because it makes them uncomfortable, even if they have no answer and even if the patients benefit."

that is so weird that the hyperlink won't work for me.

I googled joseph jemesk md the power of truth and then went to his site and read it fine.

Awesome read, by the way.

Thank you!

Actually, it's not weird, the site does NOT want us to link to this article. I've never understood someone's refusal to allow others to share the information they find on the site, but many sites do this. I'm not that good with computers to understand exactly what they do or how they do it, but I know it when I see it. It's not an issue with the link, but that the owner of the site has no desire to allow others to link to the page. If someone wants to read this article, they will have to do as PeteZa did and just google it, or copy and paste the link:

Ok, Thanks Traveler!! There is so much good information in that article...I'm really liking that Dr.!!!

Another excerpt:

"One of the real tragedies about this epidemic is to think about all the sick people who are clueless about their illness and lead wasted lives, or worse, know their illness and can't access care. And then to consider the sheer size of the epidemic is simply staggering. Even with more efficient models of treatment at our clinic, it still takes a couple of years to get people really better. So, anyone can do the math. It's horrible to consider, but this epidemic can bring our nation to it knees.

The Lyme epidemic is going to forever change how we look at chronic illness. We're going to have to get out of the patch-and-pay model that we have and get into real answers. And if we were all really pulling together and trying hard to get answers for complex patients, we would be well on our way to making significant progress. As it is, the politicization of this epidemic and the corporatization of health care have literally put us twenty years behind, and in the end, this indifference to the human condition will have victimized millions."

about not allowing linking - a very oversimplified explanation:

Google has really got tough on websites over the years and a writer can be penalized (not show up or rank terribly in search engines) for LINKS - both inbound and outbound. Not that this site is bad!! But if there are tons of links to the site from questionable sites, it can really hurt and take time to undo the damage and build up trust.

Unfortunate it has come to this, but it has. If you really want to link to something, you can contact the author and ask for permission. I used to blog years ago, monetized blogs, and I know this started becoming problematic for legitimate authors. Google got rid of a lot of the bad, but knocked out a lot of the good sites, too.

Actually.....this inability to link has come up so much, I think I will put it in a new post as an fyi
