Key Takeaways:

Her husband and she both have a personal fight against Lyme after contracting Lyme Disease after a vacation to Martha’s Vineyard Her journey down the “rabbit hole” of Lyme as she researched and filmed Under Our skin.   Lyme disease is often worse for children because of their maturing neurological systems.  Lyme disease can remain dormant for years. It was pretty clear when filming Under Our Skin the documentary that we couldn’t get funding if we went down the route of “conspiracy theories.”  Willie Burderofi  “The NIH knows that this Lyme disease thing is chronic, that it can sometimes remain dormant for 5, 10 or 15 years and it is worse in children.”  “The symptoms in the filed DON’T match what is in the medical literature, something is going on.” I didn’t tell you everything... Lyme research is a shameful affair. All of the money is going to people who know beforehand what the results of the experiments will be before they are done. “It took $60,000, 10 doctors and 1 year to find a diagnosis” The diagnostic barrier-what it takes to get a diagnosis is unacceptable. No one has done a good study on the cost of the disease. Really the lost income because I was completely disabled, is hundreds of thousands of dollars, and who can do that? So many of these people are permanently disabled.”  “I felt like something was sucking the life out of me.”-Sarah Schlichte Sanchez  “No one was going to follow this story to the end.” -Kris Newby “No label=No disability” 29 cents a death Heavy silence “You are trying to keep your mind focused, but you realize what an evil program it was.”

 

Anyone who has been through Lyme treatment realizes that treatment is often worse than the disease. The medical goldrush-Their isn’t money in the cure for tick-borne illnesses. Blue Cross Blue Shield reported that their most expensive illness was AIDS, with Lyme disease being the 2nd most expensive illness. 1968 outbreak-This is an unnatural vector.
