ALS, MS, ME, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and several other "conditions" are really names given to groups of symptoms that the medical community has not determined causes for… that really isn't a diagnosis, it'a a guess based on symptoms and common understandings among the medical community. It's an admission of, "we don't really know for sure, but it looks like X."
Also, with diagnoses of symptoms, big pharma has reason to fund research to develop profitable corresponding pharmaceuticals designed to mask symptoms, not eradicate root causes of the illness.
Anyone who has done their homework, as most of us here have, knows that in order to get to the root causes of symptoms, you have to dig deeper. Lyme has a known cause and varied viable treatments and people have recovered. Many similar sx of ALS have been found as common lyme sx.
Additionally, Researcher Alan MacDonald, MD has been studying lyme disease for 30 yrs and came across an amazing discovery while analyzing brain specimens of Alzheimer's victims: 70% of these Alzheimer’s-riddled brains contained the Lyme bacteria Borrelia.
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, another Lyme specialist, states he’s "never had a single patient with Alzheimer’s, ALS, Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis who did not test positive for Borrelia." These are all diseases with no known cause and he suspects that Lyme disease might be the common link.
These sufferers have been given a death sentence and are leaving no stone unturned trying to help themselves, when the medical industry has failed them. Exactly what I would do.
