Anyone can look at the National Institutes of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke's website and see that Roland Martin, a scientist recruited
from Germany who discovered one of the two known haplotypes associated
with MS, in Lyme victims, is now head of the NINDS MS group.

GOOGLE HIM.

Additionally, as I have mentioned before, and as is now on YouTube,
linked from my website, Mark Klempner, head of the new CDC Level IV
bioweapons lab in Boston found the other haplotype most strongly
associated with MS, in about 8 times as many people as would have
been expected, had this been a random event (HLA-DQB1*0602). This
means there was a significant association to having a genetic risk for
the Multiple Sclerosis presentation, or "seronegative" Lyme.

("Seropositive" almost always means arthritis, since that's the crux
of the RICO case- you, as of the Dearborn Farce Conference, can't have
Lyme unless you have the arthritis genetic link- Steere's Lyme
disease.)


You can go there to my website, to the left hand navigation bar or to
the YOUTUBE page, and hear Mark Klempner say it himself- straight from
the horse's mouth.

Now, a year and a half ago I built that Connecticutisms webpage, so
that event with the TOTAL SNOT I got from Amann's office happened at
least that long ago. That woman Kathleen T (Italian name) was such
an outrageous snot, you would think she worked for the DCF. She told
me she knew more about Lyme disease than I do.
http://www.actionlyme.org/dictionary_of_connecticutisms.htm

Not one person in this whole country knows more about Lyme disease
than I do, except for perhaps Durland Fish, since he works on Plum
Island performing these competence studies. But Fish is an
entomologist, and I haven't YET met anyone the least bit intelligent
from Yale. An entomologist is not a chemist, and Amann's chemist
Kathleen does not know *** about Lyme or she would have been working
with Blumenthal on the RICO case all along.

(Alan Barbour knows more than me- see the US and European patent
databases. Alan Barbour owns Southern Lyme disease. And no one is
allowed to *have* this disease, since Barbour owns it, in the same way
that Yale own's Lyme disease. Yale owns the only valid test for Lyme,
and no one is allowed to use their patented test...)


So Amann most certainly did cause harm to MS patients. All one has to
do is call the NINDS and ask to speak to Roland Martin. You will find
he has a German accent since the US recruited him after he found out
Lyme was a cause of MS (if we can believe in autoimmunity, and that
what does not occur is what I explain in the BIORACKETEERS page and in
the videos, about tolerance to fungal antigens and the resultant
immune suppression).


Amann got in the way of us helping people with MS. So, the activities
of Amann's staff should be part of this Ethics investigation.

Arthritis or Multiple Sclerosis:

Guest Commentary

Rheumatology Research in the 90s
By Allen C. Steere

Syphilis now has a competitor for the title of most complex infection.
Because of the neurologic
abnormalities it produces, Lyme disease is reminiscent of
neurosyphilis.

***Once present, the neurologic symptoms follow a slowly progressive
course, in some instances for 10 years or longer.*** Most of these
patients have subtle encephalopathy affecting the central nervous
system. They have memory difficulty, depression, or sleep distruances
but no seizures, myoclonus, or changes in the level of
consciousness.
They also have sensory symptoms, such as pain in the spine,
accompanied by radicular pain in the limbs or trunk, and some have
distal parethesias with intermittant tingling sensations in the hands
and feet.

These symptoms are perilously close to those that occur in
fibromyalgia,
with the chronic fatigue syndrome, or instress-induced syndromes-
conditions that are ever so much more common than tertiary Lyme
disease. How then does one identify the patient with chronic
neurologic
abnormalities of Lyme disease?

The patients in question have characteristic findings on laboratory
evaluations as follows:
almost all were seropositive by ELISA, half of them had increased
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein,
half had evidence of slight amounts of production of intrathecal
antibody to the spirochete, and 70%
had one or more of both abnormalities. In addition, more than 50% had
abnormal EMGs indicating
polyneuropathy affecting both proximal and
distal nerve segments, and MRI brain scans showing areas of increased
T2
signal intensity.

In other words, many of our patients had memory impairments on their
psychological assessments, had adnormal CSF anaysis, frequently
accompanies by EMG evidence of an axonal neuropathy. A number of them
also had intermittant attacks of arthritis. Combined with the
evidence
of immunity to Borrelia burgdorferi, this is the clinical picture that
is most suggestive of Lyme disease.

There is some provocative information that now suggests that B
burgdorferi infection may cause a multiple sclerosislike picture
[sic].
Dr Rudolf Ackermann in Cologne, Germany has described 44 such
patients. So far we have seen only one: 6 years after diseae onset,
the
patient experienced progressive stiffness and weakness in the muscles
of
his right arm and in both legs; tendon jerks were diffusely brisk,
with
bilateral ankle clonus and Babinski sign; and there were occasional
episodes of incontinence.

MRI of the brain revealed numerous small areas of increased T2 signal
intensity in the periventricular region on the right side. This scan
is
compatible with the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis; however, in the
case of this patient, brain stem and auditory-evoked potentials were
normal, and he did not have myelin basic protein in CSF. What *did*
suggest Lyme disease was the fact that he had a serum IgG antibody
response to B burgdorferi of 1 to 12,800 and he had evidence of
intrathecal antibody production to the spirochete.

I want to emphasize that it is not yet proved that B burgdorferi
causes
this syndrome. The patient could have two diseases- Lyme disease and
multiple sclerosis. What we lack is the discovery of the spirochete
from the brain lesions or the CSF, or perhaps proof of its presence
by
polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) amplification of borrelial gene
segments- a technique that is not quite perfected for use in Lyme
disease.

***If B. burgdorferi does cause this syndrome, it's absolutely amazing
that this spirochete would mimic not only rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
but
also multiple sclerosis (MS), two of the most puzzling and devastating
autoimmune diseases.***

***Now I would like to proceed to the issue of seronegative Lyme
disease. I am convinced this entity exists.*** We have evaluated
approximately 200 patients with late Lyme disease in the past 2 years,
and we found that nine, or 5%, were seronegative by ELISA. This
finding
coincides with the figure from Ray Dattwyler, MD, at Stony Brook
(SUNY),
who first described seronegative Lyme disease. He stressed that this
outcome is more likely to occur in patients who receive antibiotic
therapy during the first several weeks of infection. Indeed, six of
our
nine patients
(67%) did receive antibiotic therapy during the first
month of illness, a significantly higher percentage than in our
seropositive patients with late Lyme disease.

***I must emphasize the subtlety of the clinical picture in these
seronegative patients. Two had erythema migrans followed months later
by
very mild episodes of arthritis lasting only days. Three of the
patients had a subtle encephalopathy/polyneuropathy picture, resulting
in some memory disturbance accompanies by slight numbness and tingling
in the extremities. They also have CSF and EMG abnormalities. **Two
of
the patients with neck pain had EMGs that revealed cervical
radiculopathy.** The two final patients had a more generalized pain
syndrome with tender points on examination- the clinical picture of
fibromyalgia. Three of the patients (one with arthritis and two with
neurologic abnormalities) had only a cellular immune response to the
spirochete.***

AG Blumenthal is working up an antitrust case for this very reason.
So, is Amann's office working with Mr. Blumenthal on that?

Is Amann's bitch giving Blumy the Lyme-MS scientific data?

Amann Says He Will No Longer Solicit Lobbyists

House Speaker 'Confident' Past Conduct Will Be Found Legal And Ethical

BY MARK PAZNIOKAS
The Hartford Courant

March 16 2007, 4:47 PM EDT

HARTFORD -- House Speaker James A. Amann, D-Milford, grudgingly
announced today he will stop soliciting lobbyists for contributions to
his employer, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Amann said he was reacting to adverse publicity for the M.S. Society,
not because he sees any conflict or appearance of a conflict in
raising money from lobbyists on behalf of his private employer.

"I don't feel I have any conflict of interest doing what I am doing,"
Amann said. "My point is that it's not about me. I really mean that.
The most important thing I care about is the people I work for -- and
that's the people who have M.S."

Amann said publicity over his fundraising was a source of "unfair,
extra stress" on M.S. patients and their families, not a political
problem for him.

His decision comes 10 days after Republican State Chairman Chris Healy
criticized Amann's most recent M.S. solicitation: a $350-a-ticket
benefit concert at the Mohegan Sun.

The speaker said he was confident that the Office of State Ethics,
which he asked Monday to review his outside employment, would find his
actions to be legal and ethical.

"However, because of the attention that the Multiple Sclerosis Society
has received and the unfair extra stress that has been placed on the
families and victims suffering from this horrific disease, effective
today I will no longer ask lobbyists to contribute to this wonderful
cause," Amann said.
