New ILADS treatment guidelines for persistent lyme

I find the ILADS organization often times puzzling.

Take their new Guidelines. A lot of people have been waiting a long time for them. They finally come out, and arguably the biggest news is the format. And the focus they put on the EM? Well, the only thing as perplexing is the IDSA did the same friggen thing.

ILADS offers an essential counter to what many believe are egregious flaws in the IDSA Guidelines. But I swear they could use some help in marketing circles. I'm beginning to think the best strategy ILADS may wish to consider is letting the IDSA spout and preach suspect theories, and let the IDSA recommend old diagnostics, and insult very sick patients, and alienate entire counties of Lyme patients all on their own. :)

But some one has to stand up to the IDSA and CDC and NIH, and thank God ILADS is trying.
