Psychiatry too stupid to realize they cancel themselves
out.
The following page has not been
updated (or completed, actually) in over three years (today is 06 Dec 2006).
I didn't even list Gulf War Illness here, but I could easily add another column.
It will look like the CFIDS/FM column - few to no valid scientific analyses have
been performed on these people, deliberately.
Some of the BioMarkers
found in Lyme are
Matrix-metalloproteinases in the spinal
fluid, glial fibrillary acidic protein
in the spinal fluid (degradation of glial cells, or the energy-producing cells
in the brain), QEEG abnormalities,
autoantibodies, dysregulated
interleukens (cytokines) in the blood,
anti-heat shock proteins are
hypothetically involved in
neuroborreliosis, dysregulated monoamines (misuse of precursors to
neurotransmitters, dysregulated neurotransmitters due to cytokines etc acting as
neurotransmitters),
anti-flagellin antibodies (Alan
Barbour stated in a patent that this was
the reason 41-kD or flagellin should not
be used as a vaccine- they think anti-41 antibodies attach to neurons), blood-brain
barrier abnormalities (decreased
perfusion or blood flow to the brain, as
demonstrated in SPECT imaging), abnormal PET scan
or brain metabolism deficits, which may
be the most significant marker.

08/03/03 UPDATE:
PATHOLOGIES UPDATES:
As you can see, almost no real
analytical laboratory work has been
performed for either Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome (CFIDS) or Fibromyalgia.
That would be because Lyme or a
borreliosis is the strongest candidate
for misdiagnosis-- that is, Most CFIDS
and FM are really borreliosis. See
the RICO data on this page and here:
http://www.geocities.com/kmdickson0308/1-6.txt
Steere says, FM and CFIDS and Lyme
are "perilously close", and then the
American Lyme Disease Foundation was
created by John Connolly/CastleConnolly/Managed
Care.
