ACTIONLYME CHILDREN WITH LYME DISEASE PROTECTION SERVICE

DCF was given the full-text scientific journal articles at the bottom of this page. It is recommended that all parents get copies - at least of the abstracts - which are linked to the National Library of Medicine, in case DCF decides a bad parent is a parent who decides their children don't need this brain damage and rips off the kid to brain damage the kid anyway.

THIS IS THE SCIENTIFIC DATA OVER WHICH MY KIDS WERE KIDNAPPPED- see the references, below. Leebens never mentions there were 2 databinders delivered to Laura Lustig on Nov 20, 2003 when she defrauded the court with her "OTC"

Now the State of CT is liable for all the brain damage in children they cause.

Update Jan 2006: Laura Lustig does not know the difference between Asperger's Disorder and Autism, nor does she know the first thing about the latter, yet she claims she helps children with cognitive and developmental disabilities, duh.

Lustig tried to insinuate that I am "paranoid" to be saying I can't get care and treatment for myself and my children who have Lyme disease, in Corrupticut. If anyone needed the absolute proof that this woman is a moron and incompetent that would be it.

Laura Lustig also trains the DCF lying morons, and her second in command is a former DCF Commissioner. Thus, Lustig is an expert liar.

Dear Dr. Lustig,

As you can see, I have reported the CT Department of Children and Families to the National Institutes of Mental Health, the Commission on Human Rights, the USDOJ, the Statewide Bar Counsel, and so forth, for being insane, and have included the evidence.

http://actionlyme.org/NIMH_MENTAL_INCOMPETENCE_DCF.htm

My sister Nancy Martin is a Marriage and Family Therapist (a new career for her), and as you will see, it is she who invented all of these bizarre allegations against me, which were unsubstantiated, but then re-substantiated to Superior Court (the evidence is included here). She knew I was looking for a lawfirm to take this class action/RICO against Yale University as regards “Lyme disease” (See “URBAN”, October 3, 2003, and the correspondence, and with whom). I will also loan you the 1998 Syllabus from Columbia’s Conference, which Nancy Martin attended with my Lyme friends and me. Nancy Martin knows all about how Lyme disease affects the brain, as you will see.

You will also see here, my involvement in taking down Yale’s 200 million dollar FRAUD of a Lyme vaccine (FDA Testimony). I founded ActionLyme, called Dennis Parenti at SmithKline and I started the campaign to get adverse events reported in the summer of 1999, and now that dangerous vaccine is off the market.

http://actionlyme.org/Actionlyme%20History.htm

http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/01/slides/3680s2_11.pdf

See the “ActionLyme History” on my website, for more of the things I have done to put an end to this abuse of Lyme patients. And see the documents recorded in the November 16, 2003 data binder. Then you can assess my abilities to care for congenitally infected children, where the State of CT, can’t protect then (Rowland and the USDOJ, Robert Schoen and the CT Medical Licensing Board http://actionlyme.org/Schoen.htm the CT duhDCF

http://actionlyme.org/duhDCF.htm and Karen Andersson’s non-response, etc.)

Included in this data package are excerpts and abstracts regarding Lyme borreliosis- That is, scientific journal articles which relate to the cognitive and neurological compromise. I have been studying this for a long time, since all of my kids have Lyme disease, I have one who is disabled, and I of course am a disabled chemist (my resume is included). I don’t need to state the reason I am concerned about the cognitive effects.

I will ask you some basic questions and leave a questionnaire behind for you to fill out, so that I can discover if you are someone we can use, to evaluate children who have Lyme disease, as regards their 504 Education Plan. I will submit a report to Columbia-Lyme, The Lyme Foundation. Etc,. above, as regards your group’s eligibility for future referrals.

I am autistic, as is my nephew and father, NF1 and Autism being genetically related. My younger sister MaryJane has also a child with Neurofibromatosis and the associated Learning Disability. While Nancy Martin was reporting to the DCF that I am insane and tried to have me committed over her lies (as you will see, she uses the phrase “Kathleen is dangerous to herself and others”), I was actually helping my younger sister get 504 Special Education. I hope your other Staff members who are Marraige and Family Therapist do not approve of this behavior.

That’s three domains of mental compromise: Autism, Neurofibromatosis, and Lyme Neuroborreliosis. I will determine your skills with assessing.

I have included a Questionaire. You can find all the answers on my website, but I have included the RI Tick Borne Diseases Management Plan, in hard copy, also, for your reference as regards the CDC’s "testing",as well as the Markers of Pathophysiology.

I have also included for you (and did not go to the Statewide Bar Counsel, nor the CHRO, nor Blumenthal, for lack of space), some of the pathophysiologies reports of psychotropics related brain damaged. There is one essential document which describes the central problem with today’s psychotropics, without directly revealing, that the mechanisms of action are conceptually wrong. You can discover what is the new focus of the NIMH, no doubt in response to these new epidemics of vector borne, and other pathogens on my website

Cognitive Deficits identified in Children with Chronic Lyme Disease (12/1999).

Dr. Felice Tager of Columbia University reported at the International Lyme Conference in Munich Germany in June 1999 that compared to age- and education-matched controls, children with chronic Lyme Disease may experience persistent problems with attention, mood, and behavior. These results add to a small but growing body of published data indicating that Lyme Disease may cause chronic cognitive problems in a sub-group of children with Lyme Disease. This study examined children with a well-documented history of Lyme Disease who were premorbidly healthy but who had persistent neuropsychiatric complaints subsequent to what is considered adequate treatment. The Lyme disease group, compared to healthy controls, had more psychopathology and more cognitive deficits. The psychopathology consisted primarily of higher levels of depression and anxiety. Most troubling to these children was that they felt ineffective: having to push to do schoolwork; doing poorly in subjects that were previously not problematic; not being as .good as the other kids; doing things incorrectly. The areas of psychopathology most strongly affected had to do with the secondary effects of a new onset cognitive problem. When the cognitive status was examined, the children with Lyme Disease had deficits in overall perception and organization, distractibility, general memory, and verbal memory. A closer look at the pattern of deficits suggested that these children with Lyme Disease had developed problems in visual and auditory attention. This pattern might be mistakenly diagnosed as one of primary Attention Deficit Disorder. Because these deficits would be reversible after appropriate antibiotic therapy, Dr. Tager emphasized the need for educators and parents to be aware of this association . particularly when working or living in a Lyme endemic area.

Connecticut has the highest rate of Attention Deficit in the Country, and according to duh DCF’s Karen Andersson: "Unfortunately it's becoming more and more of a problem," said Karen M. Andersson, PhD, director of mental health for the Department of Children and Families. "More and more younger children are experiencing behavior difficulties that are so extreme they're not able to function in the preschool environment and home."-- April 2001

That would clearly be because there is an epidemic of Tick Borne Diseases, according to Matthew Cartter: “The overall incidence rate of Lyme disease in our sample of 1006 households showed that 29.4% (n=296) indicated that at least one member of the household had contracted Lyme disease.”

So, it is clear we have significant problems with congitive problems in CT. I have filed a RICO complaint, as it was necessary, and named Governor Rowland.

What are some of the cellular changes associated with meningitic sequelae?

What are some of the cellular changes associated with either psychotropics or “street- drugs?” Name the researcher at Yale, who studies these, while Thomas McGlashan reports that Psychotropics result in no greater immediate cognitive impairment than psychotropics use in adults, and therefore they are okay? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=12447030&dopt=Abstract [PubMed ID 12447030]

How does this correlate with the concept of Chemical Equlibrium, and the increase in dopaminergic neurons and dopamine blockers?

What is meant by “rebound psychosis”, in a technical sense?

If Ritalin downregulates dopamine transporters, and exercise, in the absence of Ritalin, increases them, what are your recommendations as regards non-borreliosis-related attention deficit, to the Department of Education in CT? Does it make more sense to have fewer psychologists and guidance counselors and more physical education time and instructors?

ABSTRACT: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=14594750&dopt=Abstract

"The relationship of borderline personality disorder to posttraumatic stress disorder and traumatic events."
Golier JA, Yehuda R, Bierer LM, Mitropoulou V, New AS, Schmeidler J, Silverman JM, Siever LJ.

Department of Psychiatry, Veterans Affairs Medical Center (116-A), 130 West Kingsbridge Road, Bronx, NY 10468, USA. julia.golier@med.va.gov CONCLUSIONS: The associations of personality disorder with early trauma and PTSD were evident, but modest, in borderline personality disorder and were not unique to this type of personality disorder. The results do not appear substantial or distinct enough to support singling out borderline personality disorder from the other personality disorders as a trauma-spectrum disorder or variant of PTSD.

CONCLUSION: There are no axes beyond Genetic, Traumatic, and Organic, and therefore no DSM diagnosis has any predictive potential, to the extent that those axes have been studied as such, framed, and monitored. There is little likelihood there ever will be, since the datapoints in between appear to be infinite.

But allow me to quote a Yale Clinical Professor, who knows nothing about any of those three axes: "...we must recognize that the practical, individual-directed nature of psychiatric practice renders psychiatry an inexact science. It is as inexact as people are different. As practical knowledge, this inexactness is not a defect that can be overcome with more progress in the field."--- James Phillips, "Hermeneutics, Key Concepts, Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology 3.1 (1996) 61-69

It's really much simpler than that off the wall text, and this is the only statement that has any value, since Psychiatry is valueless.
