Last night someone entered a single sentence into the Wikipedia IDSA entry referencing the NatCap press release for IDSA's recent guidelines "vindication" and that out of 1000+ publications, IDSA could not cite one paper that supported their short term abx protocol.

By 5:30 am this morning, that single sentence had been removed and replaced by a paragraph about the ethicist IDSA had on their panel.

If you have time, could you please look at Wiki's IDSA, Lyme (Chronic Lyme was placed under Lyme)

and enter facts about these?

THe is misleading information. I plan to work on some pieces, but if we all chip in a little, it could help get the word out.

What??

janet, i hate to burst your bubble on that; but frankly, it's a lost cause!!

on the other board i was on, 1 person from england spent 5 hrs. plus daily CORRECTING and editing to have all things about lyme changed by the opposite side.

so please save your efforts for something we can get done and REMAIN the same.

she used to talk to me all the time about the injustices being done by all the daily editing.
