Although initially discovered in 1975 in the Town of Lyme, Connecticut, it took the medical profession almost 45 years to accept the fact that the disease could cause long term effects because the initial symptoms of fever, pain and swollen joints could disappear after a while only to come back again later…but disguised as another disease, often as: Dementia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Lupus, Alsymers, Fibromyalgia, ALS, Rheumatoid Arthritis and especially as Multiple
Sclerosis. It took years before they recognized Lymes disease as being “The Great Imitator” (just like Syphilis).

There is a good description of the bacterium “Borrelia burgdorferi”…appearing to look like a cork screw (or spirokete) which can penetrate deep into the cartilage of knee and hip joints or into heart muscles. It can migrate to and infect any organ of the body, including the brain and can cause psychological problems like OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). The history of the scandals in the USA pharmaceutical industry was examined at length and demonstrates how power, money and greed contributed to the scientific and medical community becoming biased towards certain views, delaying the realization of the truth about this disease.

A fascinating, must see video full of depth and knowledge.
