In the 1970s, a mysterious and deadly illness began infecting children in a small town in Connecticut.

Today it’s a global epidemic. A real-life thriller, this shocking festival hit exposes the controversy surrounding chronic Lyme disease. Following the stories of individuals fighting for their lives, director Andy Abrahams Wilson reveals with beauty and horror a natural world out of balance and a human nature all too willing to put profits before patients.

    I was bitten by the most infectious carriers of all spirochete infections
    and Lyme a Horse fly when I was 9 years old. Got diagnosed with M.S in my
    20’s. Now I know M.S is actually Multiple spirochetes have been able to
    treat the infection Watch Lyda Mattman. My children were born with Lyme
    because I went untreated. My father nearly died from Lyme. so did my mother
    my brother was also diagnosed with M.S.

    This works … That works … Testimonials are not considered as factual
    evidence. Do your job and prove it before you claim a so-called therapy
    works. So far, based on hard evidence, alternative means has not cured this
    disease. Simple as that. Especially halvepurpose’s ridiculous uneducated
    method of blaming scientists. Funny how your kind come into the ER begging
    for mercy because you or a loved one is near death. Don’t be a hypocrite,
    go back and show us the mortality, if alive.

    Most people don’t understand how serious this illness is or why it’s so
    hard to get it taken care of properly. This documentary helps to explain
    it. This is the illness that I am trying to fight so I can have my life,
    and my brain, back.

    This video is very moving – However they glossed over perhaps one of the
    most important parts of the film and left it until the very end. The
    Bio-films part is extremely important to pay attention to. Biofilms are
    like a protective cocoon protecting the bacteria from being killed by the
    antibiotics. If you take Chlorine Dioxide, a chemical compound with the
    formula ClO2 (also known as MMS) it will help break down these biofilms and
    help kill the bacteria much faster then antibiotics alone.

    You can also get Lyme from a mosquito, fly and other insects when they bite
    you..

    Doctors are only human and quite fallible yet tend to be far more arrogant
    than your average human due to the social status they have, do keep that in
    mind.

    Suffice to say that I have seen more than enough to have some doubts about
    that. I’ll grant you the last word, because I have the impression a certain
    someone’s fragile ego is depending on it. I’m happy to oblige. I firmly
    believe it is up to the privileged to help the needy. :-)

    I believe this might be happening to me too. However, they tested me for
    lyme disease & it came back negative & in Sweden means no treatment EVER!
    Definitely a good argument against socialized medicine. Since I’ve moved
    here I’ve told my husband numerous times, “They’re going to kill me.” I’m
    currently diagnosed with 3 diseases and still suffering with no one having
    any clue what to do next. The only reason they don’t say I’m crazy, is I
    have physical manifestations that can’t be denied.

    I got tested for Lyme disease some years ago, and it came back positive. I
    got the normal 10 day antibiotica cure and thats it. I also got the Chronic
    Fatigue Syndrome diagnosis last year. But what is it realy.. Is it Chronic
    Fatigue Syndrome that gives me all the sypmtoms or could it still be Lyme
    in my body..? I dont know, and the doctor dont take me serious and do not
    listen. The only solution he got, is to send me to a facility that “trains”
    ppl back to normal.. I dont know what to do… :'(

    I agree if you go to these trained IDIOTS whom the drug companies control,
    you will get no help. The AMA is a sick group of drug pushers. Find the
    doctors who cure disease instead of pushing drugs. There are many but they
    are persecuted by the evil AMA,FDA and money backed by drug companies.
    drbuttar com can cure this EASILY as can many others. I personally like the
    oxygen therapies which are cheap and easy to do at home. Wake up get away
    from AMA no nothing docs. God has not withheld cure

    And get this, the doctor who they sued…his daughter had leukemia and his
    wife had breast cancer, all at the same time. SO SAD. There’s a special
    place in hell for the people responsible for all of this. I wish more
    people knew what was going on so change for the better can happen. This
    past year alone, one of the deaths from lyme disease that I know of was a
    CHILD. How many more people have to die before something is done?

    ** Part I ** Being fairly well versed in med-affairs from almost 14 years
    as a Combat Medic (but no, I’m NOT a doctor), I think the “basement doctor”
    is onto something about the connection between the several other diseases &
    Lyme. Especially when i see the poor younger wife with the cramped up
    fingers & twitching, I think “MS, Parkinsons, & mid-stage Altheimers”. It
    really frightens me for her that whatever is happening appears to be
    attacking her nervous system, including possibly the brain.

    Yes and it presents long term antibiotic treatment as if it was the answer.
    I did antibiotics for over 4 years with little improvement. In fact, I was
    worse. Now I only do alternative treatments such as iv peroxide which was
    really helpful and put me in the longest remission I have ever had

    I bought a zapper two years ago and used it regularly. I did not notice a
    difference. Several things have helped me immensely tho. IV peroxide, LDA
    shots, and high dose vitamin C.

    I’ve worked with Lyme Disease sufferers, as a leader and activist in the
    Chemical Sensitivities community for over 12 years. I know the ravages of
    the disease, the social stigma, the medical chicanery, the political
    deception, the insurance fraud and the personal level of demoralization –
    all of this on top of unfathomable suffering. This documentary puts the
    cards-on-the-table. Something MUST give -and it’s not going to be those who
    suffer. Pass This On! Get Informed. Pass ON ONLY Truth.

    a nicely-crafted documentary, but misses one MASSIVE POINT: your “Lyme
    Disease” is known as “boreliosis” in Northern Europe (Poland, Germany, the
    Czech Rep. and other countries) and has been extensively researched. Come
    summer, every TV station is reminding the viewers to take extra precautions
    when venturing into the forests and checking for ticks upon arriving at
    home. Sure, there are still aspects of the disease that remain, as of yet,
    unfathomed, but that does not change the fact that EVERY RESPECTING MD IN
    EUROPE KNOWS WHAT BORELIOSIS IS, including a vast majority of TV watchers.
    The good old grandiosity of the US fails her yet again – don’t assume
    you’re at the cutting edge of all medical/technological developments. Learn
    foreign languages and do some research. (sic!)

    Colloidal Silver 5-10ppm 1 tablespoon per day in a glass of water is all
    anyone needs as a powerful immune enhanser. 40 years of research by Dr.
    Robert Becker of UCLA verifies its effacasy. The medical debunks it because
    it works. Colloidal Silver kills 650 disease organisms INCLUDING VIRUSES,
    bacterias, and germs. You have everything to gain and nothing to loose. I
    hope you try this those of you suffering from lymes disease.

    Colloidal Silver is a probiotic, that is it is a nutrient, not a drug. No
    disease organism can grow immune to Colloidal Silver. My Father was 16
    years in remission with cancer in his one remaining kidney. He lived to be
    98 years old.

    I recently tested positive for lyme. I do not understand why this movie
    presents only longterm antibiotics as the sole treatment with no mention of
    Stephen Harrod Buhner’s herbal core protocol or any other herbal treatment.
    Even if the authors of the movie disagree with those treatments, it seems
    awfully strange not to even mention them, considering how many people claim
    to have been cured that way, and the credibility that these treatments have
    earned. My physician prescribed antibiotics, AND urged me to speak with a
    local herbal practitioner who specialized in lyme disease.
