    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Dr. Mehmet Oz

    So @DrOz is promoting chronic Lyme disease quackery. Why not? He promotes pretty much every ornery major firm of quackery. Chronic Lyme disease is a fake disease, and long term antibiotics do more harm than good.https://twitter.com/DrOz/status/1128740102711193602 …

        "...ornery major firm of quackery"? 🤦‍♂️😂 @SwiftKey betrayed me and I was too careless to notice the predictive typing fail.

        In a bizarre twist, the first link in that bogus article links to another @droz article that clearly states chronic #Lyme is not a thing.https://twitter.com/lymescience/status/1123605680030720000?s=21 …

        I'm disappointed that Dr Gunter retweeted you. Accusing chronically ill women of "fake diseases" is an age old form of misogyny.

        If you follow Dr. Gunter, you should be familiar with her lack of patience for pseudoscience. Targeting and profiting off women with fake diagnoses like chronic Lyme and adrenal fatigue is misogynistic.

        Even worse, Brandi & Chris Dean are the wealthy couple responsible for making Harvard @SpauldingRehab an outpost of chronic #Lyme pseudoscience. Although interestingly, it’s codirector (and former CLD patient) Nevena Zubcevik has now been hired by an “electroceutical” company.

        Nevena Zubcevik is the coauthor of a study of patients who appear to have been abused with crazy regimens of antimicrobials. Interestingly, only 11 of 133 screened patients met inclusion criteria. The study acknowledges support by Brandi and Chris Dean. https://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0212222 …pic.twitter.com/GplQdTrOEU

        is there a generally agreed-upon disease or disorder that this cluster of symptoms should be identified as? i understand the consensus that chronic lyme doesn’t exist, but do we know what’s actually going on with these patients?

        the symptom complex is called post-Lyme disease syndrome. physiologic cause unknown. what is known is that years of continuous chemotherapy does not improve symptoms at all. conversely, it is well documented that such a regimen is toxic to the human bodyhttps://www.cdc.gov/lyme/postlds/index.html …
