Dearborn -2nd National Conference on Serologic
Diagnosis of Lyme Recommendations.
On October 27-29th of 1994, Researchers and Clinical Laboratorians from
Government, Industry, State Laboratories, and Private Laboratories came
together in Dearborn Michigan to assess the Diagnosis of Lyme Disease.
Controversial, this landmark meeting has established the criteria by which
we test for Lyme by serological methods. Attached is the Recommendations of
that meeting. Please note the foresight in Section 3.1 to accept New
Technology for advancing The State of the Art

Strange Lyme Facts:
M.M. Drymon has proposed that Lyme
disease was responsible for witches and witch affliction, finding that
many of the afflicted in Salem and elsewhere lived in areas that were

marks on their skin, and suffered from neurological and arthritic symptoms.

"Perhaps most surprising, researchers found the genetic footprint of
bacteria known as Borrelia
burgdorferi in
his DNA—making the Iceman the earliest known human infected by the bug that
causes Lyme disease."
