Richard Horowitz - "Why Can't We Get Better?"

In this video, Dr Richard Horowitz talks about the multitude of vector-borne diseases that are rapidly increasing, perhaps due to global warming (eg, he says fleas on the New York underground now carry plague and bartonella), Plus he says it's hardly ever simple Lyme but rather Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome. This is a classic video to save for when you have plenty of time - it's 1 hour 17 minutes long..

Dr. Horowitz shares his experience in treating Lyme Disease, Tick Borne Illness, and related co-infections and to offer insight into the root causes for chro...

Kingwood family raises awareness for Lyme disease
"We went to my doctor and he tested (Audrey) for a disease called PANDAS and a test for Lyme disease and it came back negative for PANDAS but positive for Lyme,” Leesa Shanahan, Audrey’s mother, said. “It can be hard to find a doctor that treats Lyme disease; you have to find a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD.) We found a local LLMD and we got on waiting list for a couple of other experts when we first started hearing about the Hansa Center.”

Eagle Radio - News - Surrey woman with Lyme Disease calls for people to 'Fight Lyme Now'

‪#‎LymeDiseaseChallenge‬: It only takes a tiny infected tick bite to contract Lyme Disease, but the damage can last a lifetime. ‪#‎LymeInTheUK‬ ‪#‎LymeIsEverywhere‬
A Surrey lady suffering from the disease is speaking out about her experience as part of a national call for action.
The 'Fight Lyme Now' campaign has been launched to fund research for a new diagnostic test.
Tricia O'Connor says her life has been ruined because doctors did not recognise the infection.

Jesse Colin Young shares his struggles with Lyme disease in this You Tube Video.

Thank you Jesse for all of your contributions to the music world and to supporting those with chronic Lyme.

Babesiosis can be transmitted by a tick bite, blood transfusion, or perinatally, from mother to child

Babesiosis can be transmitted by a tick bite, blood transfusion, or perinatally, from mother to child. Classical treatment may consist of drug regimens like Mepron and Zithromax, or Clindamycin and Quinine. Treatment does not usually require a blood transfusion among those who are immunocompetent with an intact spleen, despite the fact that classical regimens may not fully eradicate the parasite. In this clinical study published in Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, the patient was found to have B. microti on a blood smear, and was reported to have been successfully treated with an exchange transfusion and IV Cleocin and Quinine after failing Mepron and Zithromax. No long term follow-up however was reported, and the majority of my patients with chronic Lyme disease and Babesiosis have evidence of persistent infection and relapsing disease (Krause, P.J. et al. Persistent Parasitemia After Acute Babesiosis. NEJM 1998; Horowitz, R. Chronic Persistent Babesiosis after Clindamycin and Quinine/ Mepron +Zithromax. Abstract 12th Int Conference on Lyme Borreliosis, April 1999 NYC). There is known Mepron resistance in the United States although it has only been reported in the literature in immuncompromised patients (Krause, PJ et al. Emergence of Resistance to Azithromycin-Atovaquone in Immunocomprised patients with Babesia microti infections. Clin Inf Dis. 2010 Jan 4) and severe hemolytic anemia as a presenting complaint in immunocompetent patients with intact spleens has been reported (Iacopino, et al. Life threatening babesiosis in a woman from Wisconsin; Arch Intern Med 1990 Jul;150(7):1527-8). No evidence of other immune testing (for example, immunoglobulin levels and subclasses) or associated tick-borne infections (i.e., Lyme, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, rickettsial infections) was discussed in this case report (despite low platelet counts and elevated liver functions, which can be seen with these co-infections), and multiple co-infections have been known to cause increased severity of illness. http://www.hindawi.com/journals/criid/2015/405263/

Babesiosis is the most common tick-borne co-infection seen in my chronic Lyme patients

From Dr Richard Horowitz :

Babesiosis is the most common tick-borne co-infection seen in my chronic Lyme patients. This recent review article discusses the discrepancies in the medical literature regarding symptom severity and chronicity of infections when both organisms are present due to experimental design disparities and subject variability. Dr Peter Krause has published in JAMA on increased severity of symptoms in co-infected patients (P. J.Krause, et al., “Concurrent Lyme disease and babesiosis: evidence for increased severity and duration of illness,” Journal of the American Medical Association, vol. 275, no. 21, pp. 1657–1660, 1996) and my personal experience reflects his observations published in JAMA. My patients with a higher infectious burden (IB), i.e, those with Lyme, Babesia and other associated co-infections such as Bartonella and Mycoplasma species, are definitely sicker than those with low infectious burdens, and once Babesia is effectively treated, the majority of patients improve, as long as overlapping factors on the 16 point MSIDS map (especially those increasing inflammation) have been properly addressed.

Dr. Nick Harris Retirement Tribute
The Lyme Disease Association and its chapter, affiliate, supporter groups, and LDAnet, held its
Nick Harris, PhD & Pat Smith, LDA President
annual meeting the night prior to the LDA's 16th annual scientific conference. Thirty representatives from various groups across the country met to discuss their programs and to honor Nick Harris, PhD, past president of IGenex Labs on his retirement.
He was presented with an award (Click here to see award) by LDA President Pat Smith, who read a tribute outlining his accomplishments (Click here to read tribute),
He was also provided with letters of tribute from dozens of Lyme groups across the country and one from Congressman Christopher H. Smith, who is co-chair of the US House Lyme Disease Caucus.
Dr. Harris' tireless work to help Lyme patients get diagnosed has been hailed throughout the world by Lyme patients, Lyme groups and Lyme Literate Physicians. He will be sorely missed, although he will still be active in other capacities in Lyme disease work.
