More than 250 people from all over the United States and Canada gathered together in Farmington Connecticut on May 7, 2005, to learn about Lyme Disease and its co-infections.  Sponsored by The Greater Hartford Lyme Disease Support and Action Group, the main theme was misdiagnosis and the interconnectedness of our many chronic autoimmune illnesses. 

It certainly appears that The Centers For Disease Control (CDC) is encouraging the spread of Lyme Disease (borrelia burgdorferi) and other chronic illnesses, which may be caused by various strains of spirochetes not currently being tested for.

My daughter, who was a young mother of two and pregnant with her third child in the summer of 1987, was bitten by a tick while she was at our summer camp in northern New York State. She was on vacation with her family, taking a little respite from a part-time job she regarded as a wonderful stepping stone to the future career she had always wanted in nursing. It had been a busy year for her, especially since she was completing additional specialized college courses she needed beyond what she had already earned; and life was looking good.
