• And now…my interview with Kris Newby.

Key Takeaways:

• Her husband and she both have a personal fight against Lyme after contracting Lyme Disease after a vacation to Martha’s Vineyard
• Her journey down the “rabbit hole” of Lyme as she researched and filmed Under Our skin.
• Lyme disease is often worse for children because of their maturing neurological systems.
• Lyme disease can remain dormant for years.
• It was pretty clear when filming Under Our Skin the documentary that we couldn’t get funding if we went down the route of “conspiracy theories.”
• Willie Burderofi “The NIH knows that this Lyme disease thing is chronic, that it can sometimes remain dormant for 5, 10 or 15 years and it is worse in children.”
• “The symptoms in the filed DON’T match what is in the medical literature, something is going on.”
• I didn’t tell you everything...
• Lyme research is a shameful affair. All of the money is going to people who know beforehand what the results of the experiments will be before they are done.
• “It took $60,000, 10 doctors and 1 year to find a diagnosis”
• The diagnostic barrier-what it takes to get a diagnosis is unacceptable.
• No one has done a good study on the cost of the disease. Really the lost income because I was completely disabled, is hundreds of thousands of dollars, and who can do that? So many of these people are permanently disabled.”
• “I felt like something was sucking the life out of me.”-Sarah Schlichte Sanchez
• “No one was going to follow this story to the end.” -Kris Newby
• “No label=No disability”
• 29 cents a death
• Heavy silence
• “You are trying to keep your mind focused, but you realize what an evil program it was.”

• Anyone who has been through Lyme treatment realizes that treatment is often worse than the disease.
• The medical goldrush-Their isn’t money in the cure for tick-borne illnesses.
• Blue Cross Blue Shield reported that their most expensive illness was AIDS, with Lyme disease being the 2nd most expensive illness.
• 1968 outbreak-This is an unnatural vector.
