Lyme disease affects the immune system by slowing it down. Doctors are turning against their patients because they are afraid of losing their practices. The CDC and insurance companies will do anything to keep Lyme disease from being diagnosed, treated, or widely recognized. Lyme is considered to “only” be transmitted by ticks infected with the bacteria.

The CDC says they are under-reported and they believe there are 300,000 to half a million cases every year. This would make Lyme disease about twice as common as breast cancer and 6 times more common than HIV/AIDS. Lyme becomes chronic when it hasn’t been caught in the early stages. The CDC and the ISDA denies that chronic Lyme even exists and will continue to do because of insurance companies that hate spending money and time treating patients.

The bacteria that causes Lyme is called Borrelia burgdorferi, which has a cork-screw shaped which is known as a spirochete. This Lyme spirochete is a cousin to the Treponema pallidum, which causes syphilis. A new study suggests that Lyme disease could be sexually transmitted. Presented at the annual Western Regional Meeting, “The study — presented at the annual Western Regional Meeting of the American Federation for Medical Research — a collaborative effort by an international team of scientists — tested semen samples and vaginal secretions of three groups of patients to investigate whether passing Lyme disease to a partner through unprotected sex is a possibility. The study observed control subjects without evidence of Lyme disease, random subjects who tested positive for Lyme disease, and married heterosexual couples engaging in unprotected sex who tested positive for the disease. The presence of B. burgdorferi and identical strains of the bacterium were of particular interest to the researchers in unprotected sex in spouses.”
