Lyme Disease Educational Event

Come watch an eye-opening 1 hour filmed interview with Dr. Alan
MacDonald (a highly regarded pathologist who has studied Lyme disease for 25

year). The science focused film will be followed by a short discussion

period.  

The interview with Dr. MacDonald offers one of the most comprehensive discussions of the pathology of Lyme disease and will be informative to those
who have recently been diagnosed with the disease, those who have been
struggling with the disease for years and are well informed, and those who just
want to learn more.


Dr. MacDonald explains why this disease is so difficult to treat,
why the diagnostic tests available in the US may be unreliable, how our immune  
system reacts when a tick bites, the multiple “personalities of Borreliosis 

(Lyme), the elusive relationship between Borreliosis and antibiotics and the  role of biofilms in the recovery process.  This film is a “must see”

for anyone who is interested in understanding this complex and often chronic disease.
