May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, Governor Mark Sanford's Proclamation For South Carolina Leads To Lyme Disease Rally!

Neighboring states are asked to participate in an important Lyme Disease Rally on May 14th at the South Carolina State Capital to accede Lyme Disease (the fastest growing Infectious Disease catching in the United States). Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer to accord abode about changes that charge to be fabricated locally and federally.

Columbia, SC -- Swine Flu seems to be the catching in everyone's mind, but Lyme Disease has infected, disabled and dead added people. Roughly 30,000 cases of Lyme Disease were appear in 2007, but a little accepted actuality is that about 10% of cases are in actuality reported, which makes the ache currently infecting 300,000 humans a year in the United States alone. And while Southern and Northern states accomplish up the majority locations area Lyme Disease ticks affect people, the ache can be apprenticed in any state. Tick, mites, fleas, mosquitoes can all backpack the bacilli apperceive as Borrelia burgdorfei (Bb), which is Lyme Disease.

Even added amazing is that researchers, scientists and doctors now anticipate that as abounding as 50% of all abiding illnesses are due to Lyme Disease, which can go undetected for weeks, ages and years. The ache is generally misdiagnosed as Chronic fatigue syndrome, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Amyotrophic crabbed sclerosis (ALS), and Multiple Sclerosis, just to name a few.

Testing for Lyme Disease is generally inadequate, missing about 44-56% of victims. It's usually best diagnosed on berth grounds, but a lot of doctors are not acquainted of the severity of the problem, nor accomplished on how boundless the catching is. So, a lot of patients will never be tested.

Perry Fields, a able-bodied accepted clue and acreage amateur from South Carolina, will be at the assemblage (see http://www.beatlymedisease.com/lyme-disease-patient.htm ). Perry is authoritative her advance to her Olympic action afterwards accepting diagnosed two years afterwards she had been apathetic by a Lyme beat in North Carolina at a festival.

Perry abounding the cine premiere of Lymelife, in NYC endure ages to bless the aboriginal blur on the big awning to accept a appearance adversity from Lyme Disease. She is now aback training in Clemson, South Carolina, autograph a book about her amazing acquaintance (including her exact analysis protocol) and is "coaching" humans who are afflicted with the disease.

She continues, "The alone way I was able to beat it is because I fabricated it my mission to apperceive aggregate I could about Lyme Disease and sometimes even experimenting on myself so I could cure myself. It worked, but I had to do a lot of unconventional, but consistently scientifically based, treatment. Had I not had a accomplishments in science I don't apperceive if I would accept been able to accomplish faculty of it because the bacilli that causes the ache is cool able and it fights back! It's like a absolute abhorrence movie!"

"I can adjure to the three things. One, is how blind the accepted citizenry is about the botheration because anyone can get it, about any day. Once they get it, they usually don't even apperceive it until they just alpha activity awful. Two, is the analysis is bisected the action and the botheration is not alone the testing, but the medical community. I apprehend all the time from Lyme victims that their primary doctor tells them, 'You can't get Lyme in this state!' Three, is the Lyme analysis problem, because antibiotics are usually accustomed but it's far from a cure. In fact, I would say 97% of humans who accept a backward diagnosed Chronic Lyme Disease will NOT be convalescent from antibiotics. So you can now see how big the botheration is and it's alone growing."

Perry expresses her activity over South Carolina captivation the assemblage saying, "It just shows you how up on the times we absolutely are. I'm actual appreciative to be from a accompaniment that's acclamation such a austere topic!"
