Stop the Denial of Lyme Disease & co infections & Denial of Medical Treatment

To: Prime Minister Harper

The Denial of Lyme disease & co infections & the Denial of Medical Treatment necessary in Canada has to stop ... now!

The Denial of Lyme disease & co infections & the Denial of Medical Treatment necessary in Canada has to stop ... now!

 Not only do our doctors not know much about this debilitating disease but they are also not allowed to even acknowledge it exists in Canada. If a Lyme literate doctor does treat a patient, it is under the scrutiny of a board that follows guidelines that are so outdated it's ridiculous! These medical professionals do so with fear of losing their own livelihoods due to this board & the dinosaur thought process that has gone into this subject.

We need to be heard & validated & treated ... not only with respect ... but also with proper medications & supplements! It is crucial to even be acknowledged & to know our medical professionals do not have to be in fear of helping us.

Mr. Harper there is an EPIDEMIC IN CANADA. It is a blood born disease called Lyme disease, it is killing our population. Everyone is at risk, it is spread by ticks, (some studies say mosquitos and blackflies). Canada is being over run by ticks. In Kingston 1/5 ticks are infected.
There will be no one left to run the country by 2020 unless someone pushes the panic button. It is an EMERGENCY.
This is on your head now.

Dont know if my son had or had Lyme disease but he was very ill and had s heart attack after being bitten by ticks.

I was one of the ones who had it and was denied help and did not know what to do as I knew my symptoms pointed to it. I finally showed my doctor some ongoing sores and got him to send me for a biopsy on two of the lumps. One of biopsy cuts got infected and when the surgeon sent a sample to a lab found out that I had to be on an anti-biotic that is given to people with lyme's disease. After going on the antibiotic I began to get well.

No one can be sure it won't happen to them, many already is sick without knowing it is chronic Lyme and co infections - believing in their diagnoses, risking getting sicker and sicker.. This multiple infections disease is a bad slowly killer disease.. Help us, help your loved ones and help yourself now and in the future by signing this, like I just did!!!

Lyme disease does exist in Canada, in Quebec so if soldiers get sick with it treat them, end of the story!

After 20 Pulse years of going to our Manitoba government for the education of our doctors Our Manitoba Heath authorities interfered with my doctor and he is now unable to treat me for Lyme. He feel he will loose his license if he treats me. This is blatant interference. this After thousands of dollars were spent on a conference to show both sides of the Lyme controversy, I was assured many time over by our Deputy Health Minister they could not get involved. This abuse of Lyme sufferers must stop.

Government has to wake up!
