Thanks so much to everyone involved in making this film. My doctor is in this film.....he has lost just about everything he has worked for because he chose to help Lyme sufferers.
God bless,

A dramatic tale of microbes, medicine and money, this eye-opening new film investigates the untold story of Lyme disease, an emerging epidemic larger than AIDS. Each year thousands go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, told that their symptoms are “all in their head.” Following the stories of patients and physicians as they battle for their lives and livelihoods, the film brings into focus a haunting picture of our health care system and its ability to cope with a silent terror under our skin.

Thanks so much to the makers of this film. It is SO helpful for Lyme patients to have something like this to hold onto and to show other people who are skeptical of what we know to be true about the disease. Thanks again. Posted 08/01/08 by Nancy Brooks
After my family and I viewed the movie I purchased at the showing in Silver Spring, Maryalnd in June 2008,we all understand what I have been going through.
I do have Lyme and am seeing a doctor in Rockvile, Maryland. I moved here from Oregon in 2003 with symptoms that started in 1999. The doctors in Oregon… even specialists at a University could not diagnose the problem. I moved here to Maryland to be with family after my mother retired. Finally in April 2008 a Doctor in Rockville diagnosed me with Lyme Disease. I now have my sense of taste and smell returning after a year with treatment only 3 months old. Thank you God. Still have other problems, but I understand it is a long process and I am willing to continue antibiotic treatment to resume my health. I am so thankful someone has taken the steps to educate us about this horrible disease, I have purchsed 3 of the dvds and have given them to neighbors and friends to educate them and spread the word.
