Another loss in the Lyme community - Scott Shelton whose wish it was to have his body used for research into Lyme and tick borne diseases


So sorry to hear Scott Shelton passed away this was a message from Tom Grier
'I am sorry to say that Scott Shelton passed away Friday morning at 11:30 AM.

As planned Scott allowed local pathologist to harvest tissues for Lyme disease research as per Dr. Alan MacDonald's protocol.

We will expect results in about 3 months.

Scott was born and raised on the same 120 acres that he died on.

After a decade of being an over the road trucker he returned home and cut lumber and built custom log cabins for a living.

Since being a child he estimated 10-15 tick bites a year, and never thought about any possibility that they caused disease.

For the past 20 years he had trouble maintaining his weight and slowly wasted away.

He responded to antibiotic with severe twitches, body jerks, head aches, sweats, and unbearable pain.

But the antibiotics took away his heart arrhythmia and gave him windows of energy and strength and allowed him to gain weight.

He suffered terribly everyday until lung cancer was discovered a few months ago and spread rapidly through his body.

Scott was adamant that no one should suffer as he did with exhaustion, pain, heart problems, and cognitive impairment.

So he requested that his body be used for Lyme and TBD research.

Our fund for Scotty allowed us only to harvest his brain and NO other tissues.

And currently we have to raise money for the research; so please pass the word to other Lyme patients that we need help.

I have attached our request.

Scott's funeral will be Thursday at 2 PM at the Duluth Cremation Society in West Duluth.
