The true answer for Lyme patients would be to fund their own research
and execute it through independent partnerships with academia and
ultimately biotech ...this is a long-range plan, but it need not be
that long-range. Other diseases have followed this model to great
success. Execution here requires an experienced professional who can
navigate across science and venture capital and fund-raising in a major
way. A seat at the proverbial table can backfire big-time, and already
has. As long as some patients continue to seek research partnerships
with NIH and CDC, the rug will continue to be pulled out from under
them, as history has shown. But some never learn their lessons,
apparently, those trusting souls, to the detriment of us all. GG
