I hear often the arrogant bred ignorance of the NON-lyme believing world as NON-lyme Literate Communities and those like Concerned12345 expels. I assure you that this individual does not experience Lyme and is a CDC/IDSA/Lyme Corp. protocol driven individual. I will give him that at least he follows the rules as he was taught at the big U. Unfortunately Concerned12345 belief system is out dated by at least 15 years as Lyme sciences are making leaps and bounds only in the last 10 or 11 years. As for Johns Hopkins selling themselves as the first Lyme Studying facility in the country. I was getting my info very much from Columbia and others around world trying to catch up with this monster long before JH. I am not totally sold on JH being the first but as much of the facility does not think highly in the belief of lyme. Dr. Aucott seems to be well versed in it. Even though he is on the IDSA board that I feel has put us where we are at today in Lyme. 
Tks Nova.
