Is Lyme The Next AIDS?

For years, Lyme's disease was thought to be transmitted by a tick bite exclusively. But new research is unveiling something quite troubling about this baffling condition: Lyme disease may be transmitted sexually as well.

This is particularly sobering given that many people have Lyme disease and don't even know it. This is because it's often confused with other illnesses such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome or even Lou Gehrig's disease (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS).

In this article, I'm going to address the new research showing Lyme may be the newest STD. I'm also going to touch upon how you may have Lyme and not even know it, as well as the best way for your doctor to test you for the disease to avoid false negatives.

But first, let's talk about what Lyme disease is and some startling new statistics about how common it really is.

Questions about Plum Island biological warfare center's link to rapid concentrated Lyme's disease remain. The USDA's plans to move their testing and research facility, which was specifically located on an island due to safety concerns, to Kansas of all places is also concerning.

Not sure about the STD connection. However everything about Lymes is scandalous.

Maybe the local doctors need to read up on Lymes and start taking it seriously.

What one knows and what one accepts are 2 different things.Some of us have the ability to mentally activate our immune systems & eliminate sickness of all types.I had Lymes and I had cancer,but I would not accept either.The immune system IS the miracle drug.Use it.
