Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 While there is general agreement on the optimal treatment of early Lyme disease, considerable controversy has attached to the existence, prevalence, diagnostic criteria, and treatment of “chronic†Lyme disease. The popularity of “chronic Lyme disease†as a concept despite a lack of supporting medical evidence led to a 2008 New England Journal of Medicine article calling it “the latest in a series of syndromes that have been postulated in an attempt to attribute medically unexplained symptoms to particular infections.†http://www.miraclemineralsupplement.biz/mms/Lyme-Disease Most medical authorities, including the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the American Academy of Neurology, and the Centers for Disease Control, do not recommend long-term antibiotic treatment for “chronic†Lyme disease, since trials have shown little or no benefit and considerable risk from long-term antibiotics, especially when given intravenously. http://www.miraclemineralsupplement.biz/mms/Lyme-Disease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
