I mostly tweet about civil liberties and the chronic Lyme scam, which my mom has been taken in by. Pretty boring stuff.

      Alternative medicine practitioners are not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. They are making money hand over fist on products their powerful, rich lobbyists have insured will not be regulated properlyhttps://www.opensecrets.org/news/2019/06/dietary-supplements-industry-keeps-regulation/ …

      I was hesitant to even write about this because people who have been brainwashed to believe they have Chronic Lyme engage in coordinated harassment campaigns, like against this writer of an article about Lymehttps://twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/status/1144593722740551682 …

      My email and Twitter have been inundated with hateful messages since this article came out--accusing me of murder (!) and hoping my 10-year-old gets really sick just to teach me a lesson. So. Deep breaths. Today I will channel @marwilliamson and "harness love." https://twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/status/1144235103872344068 …

      But I felt like I needed to do this, both because it's cathartic and because if I can't get my mom back (and god I hope I can), maybe I can prevent someone else from losing a loved one to this. Well, thanks for listening, if anyone is.

      Thank you to everyone who is sharing this. I wasn't sure if anyone would see it or if anyone would relate. I haven't talked publicly very much about my mom being preyed on by alt medicine scammers, but being quiet is how it spreads, right?

      Mike L. Retweeted Apoorva Mandavilli

      What really prompted me to discuss it was this NY Times article. My mom shared it on FB with just absolutely nasty commentary along with equally nasty comments from other members of her Chronic Lyme community and the amount of hate shocked me.https://twitter.com/apoorva_nyc/status/1144235103872344068 …

      It's #tick season, and with that come panic-mongering stories about chronic #Lyme and whatnot. Here's my antidote to that. Be careful, but do not panic: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/27/well/live/lyme-disease-children-treatment-diagnosis.html …

      When my mom started into Chronic Lyme and alt medicine, it seemed weird but kind of harmless and something she'd eventually come to her senses about if we didn't push too much. Instead she's become such an isolated, unhappy person feeding off the hate from the CL community.

      When I say the hate you see in the Chronic Lyme community, this is a mild version of it. This is apparently a teacher with what seems like an official school account, but she's so invested in CL, she can't stop herself from harassing a journalist upset over her son being a targetpic.twitter.com/AUTB2uM6JX

      Imagine seeing someone getting death threats and having harm wished on her young son and your response is that writing an article some people disagree with is just as bad. This is the kind of brainwashing I mean. It's the kind of harassment campaign my mom thinks is okay now.

      I don't mean to single out this person, which is why I blacked out their information. They're as much a victim as anyone else who has been sucked into pseudoscience scams, but at the same time, they also act to further the scam and silence critics.

      When they describe themselves as "Lyme Warriors," I don't think they realize they're not warriors against a disease, but that they've been enlisted as human shields for medical predators and rich lobbyists trying to avoid regulation and prosecution.

          You don’t have a clue. If lyme warriors had lobbyists, they would finally be able to unseat the arrogant. Look at the IFSA drs being sued in a class action lawsuit. Facts matter.
