Chronic Lyme is a Fake Diagnosis


I’m no fan of pharma, having battled them at a pretty high level for 20 years.

That said, I am a fan of results-oriented medicine, and an opponent of quackery.

If you run dogs in forest and field in the US, you will get ticks and there is always a risk of Lyme.

This article is interesting in that it says three things:


  1. There is no such thing as “chronic Lyme disease” -- this is a fake diagnosis;
  2. There ARE people with persistent long term problems after Lyme has been eradicated from their body (perhaps an autoimmune problem triggered by the now-gone Lyme);
  3. Antibiotic dosing for something you no longer have is very bad medicine.

Read the whole thing.
