The IDSA (International Disease Society of America) guidelines for Lyme Disease claim that Chronic Lyme does NOT exist, in turn prohibiting long-term treatment and accurate/appropriate diagnoses of Lyme Disease. The IDSA guidelines are created by a board of doctors who believe that Chronic Lyme Disease is a “psychosomatic” disorder and receive incentives from insurance companies to NOT diagnose Lyme Disease.
Click this photo and sign the petition to remove the outdated and wildly corrupt guidelines today and help the Lyme Disease community get what they deserve- diagnoses, treatment and their lives back. 

I had an awful time being told I was a hypochondriac by every doctor who tested me, and then 8 months later, “Oh you do have Lyme disease…” Today I found out my dog Bailey also has it! Spread the word, especially you guys in Massachusetts, and the northern states, that it exists!

Havana’s Center for Molecular Immunology Releases World’s First Lung Cancer ‘Vaccine’

Looks like the United States will be forced to seriously consider whether or not we want to keep treating Cuba like a second-class country. Scientists in Havana have announced the creation, and release, of a therapeutic vaccine which reduces lung cancer from deadly disease to a chronic illness.

From PopSci:

CimaVax-EGF isn’t a vaccine in the preventative sense—that is, it doesn’t prevent lung cancer from taking hold in new patients. It’s based on a protein related to uncontrolled cell proliferation—that is, it doesn’t prevent cancer from existing in the first place but attacks the mechanism by which it does harm.

As such it can turn aggressive later-stage lung cancer into a manageable chronic disease by creating antibodies that do battle with the proteins that cause uncontrolled cell proliferation, researchers say. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are still recommended as a primary means of destroying cancerous tissue, but for those showing no improvement the new vaccine could be a literal lifesaver.

Watching this right now and having my mind blown.

Approximately 2,438,000 people have died from proper use of prescription medication

While only 10 people have supposedly died from the use of vitamins.

And yet we continue to let the drug industry control how we live just because there is no money in people actually being healthy.

U.S. researchers find Roundup chemical in water, airSignificant levels of the world’s most-used herbicide have been detected in air and water samples from Mississippi and Iowa. The U.S. Department of Interior said that more tests are needed to determine how harmful glyphosate might be to people and animals.

Not all that surprising…
