LymeNet Europe

Guys, apart from who is right and who is not, take a break from Lymenet Europe for a few weeks, come back later, re-read your posts and you will see how unnecessary and obsessive those argues are.

I have read Lymenet USA today and saw another interesting post (I hope the author of this post doesn't mind if I copy it here). Very good that politicians are aware of the controversy.

If you refer to the sentence "medical work-up negative" I meant things not related to TBDs testing.
