Why Are Doctors So Quick To Diagnose Autoimmune Disease? Without Considering Lyme Disease.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Dr. Steven E. Phillips, MD

An excellent presentation from Dr Philips. 

For those not familiar with his excellent presentation to the IDSA review hearing in 2009 I posted some of the articles from his presentation -

I was reminded of this by reading an excellent interview with Dr Phillips in the Huffington post  
Thank you Dana Parish for another insightful interview. 

One important extract -

‘Why are doctors so quick to diagnose autoimmune disease?

It’s always been striking to me how most chronic diseases are of unknown etiology, yet how many have been linked in medical literature to Lyme and Bartonella.
When people get a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, MS, Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or other rheumatologic/inflammatory diagnosis du jour, they are not getting an actual diagnosis. They’re getting a description of conditions that brings them no closer to an answer. And I don’t think that the majority of doctors are evaluating these patients for the possibility of insect-borne infections like Lyme and Bartonella as closely as they should be.
To have a negative Lyme ELISA test- which is known to be horribly unreliable-and then sentence a patient to a lifetime of immunosuppressive drugs, in my opinion, is abjectly wrong.’
