Hey guys….PLEASE register at the Oprah Winfrey website and let her know how much you would like to see her do a show on Lyme disease. Dr. Oz thinks the “UNDER OUR SKIN” documentary is wonderful but a show about Lyme won’t be done unless she sees lots of interest. Request that LLMDS and patients be the guests so that we can be heard. Also, Daryl Hall would make a great guest. OPRAH needs to hear about YOUR experience with Lyme disease. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER !
God Bless,

Google…..”Low Dose Naltrexone Homepage.” And also here on You tube…”Controlling Lyme Disease,” and see the LDN videos by “TropicalDawg” here as well. I have been using LDN, for just over a week now, and feel the need to pass the buzz. This is a drug that helps with the immune system, inflammation and endorphins. Eat as if you had a yeast problem, because Lyme loves what yeast loves. And no sugars of any kind…”Including Fruit!”

this is criminal. of course there is lyme in BC; lyme exists in every country, on every continent except antarctica. the lyme controversy has an increasingly devastating human toll. please, please see the documentary film ‘under our skin.’
and yes, it is so true that vets generally know much more about lyme and its potential severity than most MDs. tragic situation indeed.
dr. murakami is a hero. i am appalled at what they did to him, but sadly, unsurprised.

Dr. Murakami is a Prof. Emeritus at UBC and won a gold medal for his teachings re Lyme at UBCs 50th anniv. celebration. Why should such a Dr. not be allowed to treat Lyme patients. Mr. Morshed is lying when he says there is no Lyme in BC. BC College of Physicians and Surgeons is overstepping its mandate when it harrasses Drs. with a different opinion into retirement. Dr. Múrakami’s opinion is agreed with by lots of other Drs. in the world. What’s with the BC College!

Dr.Murakami is a prof. Emeritus at UBC and won a gold medal for his teachings re Lyme at UBC’s 50th anniv. celebration. Why shouldn’t such a Dr. be allowed to treat Lyme patients without harrassment? Mr. Morshed is lying when he says there is not Lyme in B.C. BC College of Physicians and Surgeons has overstepped its mandate when it can harrass Drs like Dr. Murakami into retirement.

This is such a shame….. my doctor in South Carolina has been through hell just because he treats Lyme patients. Wrote an informative LYME BROCHURE with the help of 2 LYME SPECIALISTS. Great resource info at the end of the brochure. Will email to anyone.

Actually your BEST bet would be to go to Europe if you get an infected tick bite. Tell them you just got it. They would hospitalize you, test you, and treat you and you would be OK again.

The comment about dogs getting better treatment is right on!!! I spoke to a Vet who had tested my dog, and she said if you want to get treated for Lyme your best bet in Canada would be a VET !!! Too bad they can’t do the ‘snap’ test on humans as well, I would gladly be a guinea pig for it, it would be far better than the ‘crap shoot’ ELISA test that we are subjected to here. Not done properly, odds of being found positive here are worse than the lottery !!!

Whose pocket is that BC Infectious Disease Dr in ??? At least in Manitoba our Entomologists admit that there are infected ticks everywhere. 10,000 ticks checked, one infected, what a BOZO!!! I was watching for his nose to grow as he spoke !! They have their heads buried in the sand.

It seems if I get bitten in BC I dont have Lyme. If I get bitten in the USA and come back to BC with Lyme would I get treated? Should I lie about this to get treament??
