After 17 years of advocacy for an accurate test and decent treatment for Lyme disease patients, I find we are at the same position we were all those years ago.

NIH money goes to the "good old boys" and new ideas are quashed.

Microbiology has taken up the bulk of the money with little practical application with almost no studies on tests or treatment. Very little has been done to educate physicians and the public.

Insurance companies use the IDSA extremely faulty guidelines to deny the needs of patients and their doctors to treat tick-borne diseases.

This bill is a start toward honest education, research, and treatment.
