Tick Factor
Lyme disease is an epidemic in this state. Instead of jumping all over
Dr. Charles Ray Jones ["Ticked Off" Jan. 25], perhaps the Connecticut
State Medical Board should press for better testing for this
debilitating disease. Too many people are not getting treated because
the tests for Lyme disease are not accurate. There is still much to
learn about this disease that mimics so many other illnesses and
conditions.

Thank you for printing this story, but then when has your paper ever
backed down from anything? Your paper did a great job in giving fair
coverage on Lyme disease. On [my Web site www.ctlymedisease.org ] I
have posted a $20,000 reward to any doctor that can prove that Lyme
disease is cured with six weeks of antibiotic treatment.
The other camp claims that Lyme disease is eradicated in 10 to 14
days. If so, they should challenge my reward. I have over 90 peer
review papers that show I am correct.
My group is not going away and plan on exposing the corruption in the
state of Connecticut Health Dept.

Still Ticked
Thank you so much for your excellent article about Dr. Charles Jones'
hearing with the Connecticut Health Dept.
Jones is one of a handful of chronic Lyme-literate MDs, LLMDS, in the
USA.
I've had chronic Lyme now for 37 years; 34 years misdiagnosed by 40-50
MDs/specialists until I persevered hearing of Lyme disease.
"For the most part, the evidence shows that most people recover from
appropriately recognized and appropriately treated Lyme disease. Only
a small subset of patients have longer lasting symptoms," CDC Epidemic
Intelligence Service officer Kevin Griffith said." HOG WASH!
The CDC needs to get out talking personally to all 50 states, since
each state has had reported Lyme or Lyme co-infections diagnosed!
