    What Dr Horowitz says is the raw ugly truth about chronic Lyme disease, and although its daunting for people to hear these facts, if you heed what he alerts us to it just might save your life or the life of loved one, neighbor or friend. I wish there was a Dr Horowitz when I was first bitten, than came down with textbook Lyme symptoms 4 days after the bite. My family Dr refused to even discuss Lyme, even after a raised circular rash developed around the bite and I woke up with a painful still neck, fever, chills and lethargy. He told me it was all in my head, and continued to tell me that as the symptoms worsened and I developed new symptoms within a 3 month period of time. Than my father was bitten and his Dr did the same thing. My dad was tested for everything, including West Nile, but not Lyme. When my dad mentioned Lyme to his Dr , his Dr shouted "you do not have Lyme" and left the room slamming the door behind my stunned father. Once we were both finally in the hands of an excellent Lyme literate MD, we were tested via Igenex Western Blot and we both were positive -even by the rigid CDC criteria for the Igenex tests, for borrelia, bartonella, ehrlichia, and I had Q-fever on top of all of the mentioned co infections. It was too late for us. 7 years later my father suffers every day as do I. If only I have been properly diagnosed and treated. If only there was an ILADS criteria for testing and treating back than. Thank you thank you thank you Dr Horowitz! THANK YOU

    Dr. Horowitz, GOD BLESS YOU!! Thank you so much for helping to get the word out on this devastating, hellish disease. I have had every symptom you mentioned and then some. It took me over 10 doctors and over 3 years to finally find a doctor (naturalpath, LLD) that tested me properly for Lyme. He saved my life, literally. I had 2 negative Lyme tests before I was properly diagnosed. I can't even put into words the pain and exhaustion this disease causes. I couldn't drive any longer. I didn't remember how to write or even where I was in the most familiar places. Again, thank you!

    Dx'd with Lyme and co-infections Bartonella and Babesia in Nov '13. Pulled the tick off of me engorged and almost puked, when it was discovered at the back of my neck in the hairline. Didn't know @ Lyme, so flushed it down the toilet and just went on trying not to think of it again. A few months later was the most sick that I've ever been in my life. It started gradually, by having vomiting spells and having to go to the Hospital to get through it. Gradually, it only got worse and didn't know what to do. Glad that I did find one thing that helped my symptoms and didn't even know that I had Lyme. Started using Essential oils in each of my baths.
    Never have I taken ABX for the Lyme because my triglycerides were high. It has been 7 yrs of suffering.
    One thing that I discovered, actually in '08, that believe saved my life thus far and has kept me going. Essential oils have been a true life saver for me and believe, that if I hadn't of started using them I could be gone. Didn't even know that I had Lyme at that time and just by accident starting using the oils for aromatherapy. Still have Lyme and praying that some day, will get full treatment to eradicate it from my body. Thank you Dr. Horowitz for standing up for us Lymies.

    Most of the symptoms of Chronic Lyme result from inflammation of the Dorsal Root Ganglia going to the part of the body that SEEMS to be a problem. The spirochetes get trapped in the Cerebrospinal Fluid in a cyclical life where the immune system can't get to them resulting in a recurring cycle of spirochete->cyst->spirochete->cyst over and over again. They colonize the myelin tissues of the nerve branches in the vetebrae.

    I am so glad for Dr Horowitz and the other doctors that are like him. It's sad, because really it boils down to money,politics, and egos. Meanwhile people just get sicker and sicker. I was bit by a tick 25 years ago, I had the flu like symptoms, the headache, and dizziness. I don't know if I ever had a rash, because the tick was on the back of my head. At first I only had a couple symptoms in my early twenties, which was anxiety, and knee pain, then I had preaclampsia in both pregnancies, and miscarriage in between that. My son was born with all kinds of problems, and now has moderate Autism. In my thirties I got hit bad with a ton of symptoms. A fibro specialist told me I def had Fibro, but said there was something else causing it, it wasn't just Fibro, not until last year did a new neuro listen to me, and tested me for Lyme. My 23 and 41 kd came up positive, but it wasn't enough to say it's Lyme, and I'm left untreated, and gov health insurance doesn't cover an LLMD. :(

    Hey Dr. Horowitz, You healed my 65 year old brother of persistent Lyme, Thank you thank you thank you!!! He's a medical architect in Hyde Park. He's now vibrant and healthy!!! YAY!
    I healed my persistent Lyme myself as I live far from you and my doc wouldn't acknowledge that the 30 day doxy wasn't effective. My doc said I couldn't possibly have Lyme after 30 days of treatment. Well, my body told a different story. I was upset she wouldn't listen to me about it. So-2 years of trying many different things from natural healing and I am now symptom free for a year+!
    Even though I prefer natural healing modalities, I do agree with you 100% that the diagnostic tests must come up to snuff and be accurate. It does beg the question- why have the health organizations in charge been so resistant to recognizing Lyme and so resistant to improving the diagnostics?

    Lyme disease (and other diseases) are being sprayed in the chemtrails that you will see, if you observe your skies regularly. It's a deliberate attack on Americans. Chickens and guinea fowl eat ticks; guinea fowl should be introduced into public parks to combat Lyme.
    What is really going on is worse than Lyme. It's Agenda 21. It's biowarfare against the "useless eaters."
    See the "Georgia Guidestones" for the plan to reduce the human population to 500 million people.
    Who is doing this?
    Answer: The central banksters who want to keep themselves in control and who need to reduce the population to ensure that control.
