Program: . Our program will be viewing a video recording of Dr. Richard Horwitz’s presentation on “Co-infections” from the 2010 conference held last Fall by the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (“ILADS”). Dr. Horwitz has treated over 12,000 chronic Lyme patients and has trained several physicians to diagnose and treat tick-borne diseases. He is a dynamic speaker and his presentation on tick-borne co-infections is nothing short of amazing. It is a very informative presentation and one that Lyme patients and health care providers alike will benefit from.

NEW QUARTERLY MEETINGS IN DELAWARE: In an effort to better serve the folks living in Worcester and Sussex Counties, we will begin hosting quarterly meetings in Selbyville, Delaware at the Peninsula Community Church. We chose Selbyville for its central location to Ocean Pines and Ocean City, Maryland, as well as the Delaware beaches and Millsboro, Delaware. Our first meeting will be a Lyme primer – we’ll be using a presentation that we give to community organizations. It’s a great overview of Lyme disease, the co-infections, the controversy, and prevention. Our first meeting will be held:
Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 6:00 p.m.

NEW CD'S AVAILABLE
An interesting resource is now available from the Lyme Disease Association of the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Recently, a discussion forum was held by a public radio station located in San Francisco. Present at the forum were Pamela Weintraub, author of the book "Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Epidemic" and Kris Newby, senior producer for the new documentary about Lyme Disease entitled, "Under Our Skin". These two women are joined later in the broadcast by Dr. Eugene Shapiro, one of the doctors who served on the IDSA's Board - developers of the Lyme guidelines which have been the center of great debate.
The discussion is mediated by KQED radio, and the discussions with Pam Weintraub and Kris Newby are very informative. Later, when Dr. Shapiro joins the group, the listener can hear first hand the flip side of the argument over whether chronic Lyme exists. Dr. Shapiro discusses research used in the IDSA's guidelines, and the Board's belief that anyone suffering from Lyme disease after the prescribed two weeks of antibiotics has "post-Lyme syndrome" and not an active Lyme infection.
CD's of this 52-minute panel discussion and face-off are now available through the Lyme Disease Association of the Eastern Shore of Maryland at a cost of $6 each. Copies will be available at this coming Monday's monthly meeting, and they can also be picked up from PAm Andrews or Marilyn Williams by calling 410-543-2615 or by e-mailing the Lyme Association at LDAESM@verizon.net .
The Lyme Disease Association of the Eastern Shore of Maryland is continuing its efforts to disseminate materials to our community, and we hope you will find this latest resource informative. Thank you for your continued support
