News From the North Texas Lyme Group!

Message from Dr. Michael Allen, Ph.D.:

I am the director of the Tick-Borne Disease Research Center at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth. I am requesting your help in spreading the following message. Our lab is supported by the state of Texas to test any and all ticks found on Texas citizens for the presence of several disease-causing organisms including the Lyme spirochete and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Group Rickettsia bacteria. This service is FREE OF CHARGE to Texas citizens for ticks found on their person (not pets). To use this service, ticks must be submitted to the TX Dept. of State Health Services. Information and submittal forms can be found at the following site:http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/idcu/health/zoonosis/tickBites/Following preliminary analysis of the tick species, the sample will be sent to us for pathogen DNA testing. In general, results should be back in less than a week. Your involvement on this page suggests you more than most understand the importance of this service. Please take a moment to share this information with your friends and loved ones.

Tell CNN You Want Them To Cover the Lyme Disease Rally in Washington DC on May 25th!

Tell CNN You Want Them To Cover the Lyme Disease Rally in Washington DC on May 25th!

This epidemic has been ignored by the mainline media for too long. This is a major news making issue, yet it continues to be ignored. We are tired of being shrugged off, our illnesses are real and extended.

Click the link, then click ‘this belongs on CNN’.  Leave a comment if you wish.

This controversial issue needs to be on the forefront; like yesterday! Why don’t you think it’s important? Afraid it won’t be newsworthy?  If you researched this issue, you would be shocked and appalled to to learn that a whole generation of medical professionals we rely on for help DENY this disease exists chronically.

The worst part, the statistics for reporting this disease are flawed and some southern states have carefully coached and drilled their doctors that “WE  don’t have Lyme in AR-TX-LA-OK-MS-AL-GA-FL and so on….It is a bald faced lie!!!  Why are our medical professionals NOT being told the truth!  Why has the CDC restricted them so…what do they have to hide!!!?

You must cover this event.
