No i o co w tym chodzi?

[artur737]

Kanadyjska Fundacja Choroby z Lyme wystapila do rzadu o zagwarantowane
konstutycyjnie prawo do wgladu w mozliwosci kanadyjskich laboratoriow w
zakresie wykrywania boreliozy. Kanadyjskie laboratoria sa znane z tego, ze
prawie zawsze ich wynik na borelioze jest ujemny. Oficjalnie tylko okolo 30
osob z Kanady mialo potwierdzona chorobe w kanadyjskich laboratoriach (dane
historyczne), podczas gdy wyrywkowe dane zebrane przez fundacje pozwolily na
zgromadzenie okolo 3000 takich przypadkow w, ktorych potwierdzenie choroby
uzyskano w zagranicznych laboratoriach (glownie Igenex), co jest zapewne tylko
wierzcholkiem gory lodowej zanurzonej w oceanie.
W odpowiedzi na prosbe uzyskano odpowiedz, ze ‘tego typu dane sa objete
tajemnica panstwowa 'na wniosek Ministra Spraw Zagranicznych'.

Jim Wilson podejrzewa, ze w odmowie macza palce amerykanska organizacja CDC.

No wiec jest konspiracja, czy nie?

Class Action

[artur737]

Te rzeczy opisane powyzej wyszly na jaw niejako przy okazji.
Bo grupa prawnikow wynajetych przez kanadyjska fundacje Lyme dlugo badala
roznego rodzaju rzadowe dokumenty i inne dowody i w koncu znalazla haka na
otwarcie procesu sadowego typu Class Action.
Bylby to chyba pierwszy tego typu proces na swiecie w boreliozie.

No nic, odpukac w niemalowane drewno bo jeszcze wiele rzeczy moze pojsc nie tak.
Ale nalezy sie cieszyc, bo jak dotad wszyscy prawnicy, ktorzy sie przygladali
problemowi nie widzieli szansy wygrania czegos takiego.
Teraz ujawniono jakas dokumentacje rzadowa, ktora zdaniem prawnikow jest
wystarczajacym atutem by podjac finansowe ryzyko procesu.

Class Action jest forma dochodzenia roszczen w ktorej pokrzywdzeni jednocza sie
razem i wystepuja w sadzie jako strona poszkodowana.
W przypadku jezeli sprawa jest wygrana strona krzywdzaca wyplaca odszkodowanie
wszystkim zarejestrowanym pokrzywdzonym.

Tego typu sprawy (liczne) byly juz w Kanadzie w dziedzinie innych chorob gdzie
rzad byl winny zaniedban i czesc zostala wygrana.
Odszkodowania wynosily rzedu kilkdziesiat tysiecy do dwustu tysiecy dolarow na
osobe - w zaleznosci od sytuacji.

Z reguly wygranie takiej sprawy doprowadzalo do wypracowania zupelnie innego
modelu zarzadzania aby tego typu proces nie musial byc wiecej powtarzany, jako,
ze przegrana wiaze sie z duzymi finansowymi stratami dla rzadu.
Jest w kazdym razie szansa, ze brudna polityka stosowana wobec boreliozy
zostanie zmieniona. Na razie w Kanadzie.
Pozniej sie powinno rozejsc na reszte swiata.

Ciag dalszy - brak dostepu do veryfikacji labow

[artur737]

Fundacja ujawnia w formie notatki prasowej niechec kanadyjskiego rzadu do
ujawnienia danych weryfikacyjnych laboratoriow gwarantujacych zawsze ujemne
wyniki u chorych na borelioze (pomimo potwierdzenia choroby w zagraniczncych
laboratoriach).

Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation: Feds Say "No" to Access to Information Request
on Serious Health Matter; National Security Cited

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 20, 2008) -

The federal government denies Access to Information request. They say it is a
matter of "national security", so Canadians have no right to records that
measure the ability of our national medical laboratory to detect the fastest
growing animal to human disease in the northern hemisphere

The Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation decided they must find out how well our
federal medical laboratory in Winnipeg does at detecting Lyme disease in humans.

Fully certified, proficiency tested and accredited laboratories in the U.S. have
been finding that several thousand Canadians are actually positive for lyme
disease after a negative Canadian test. Many of these Canadians had been given
diagnoses ranging from multiple sclerosis, mental illness, to chronic fatigue
syndrome.

The successful outcome of lyme disease treatment demands early diagnosis, so the
Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation sought to find out why Canadian lab tests in so
many instances are negative followed by a positive U.S. test. These patients
only then get the treatment they need. The proof is in the pudding, they do
remarkably well in recovery after having been left sick for years in many instances.

Proficiency testing of laboratories measuring their ability to detect specific
disease is required in most jurisdictions for laboratories to retain
certification. The U.S. labs are proficiency tested and have excellent results.
We expect similar results from our federal labs but we will never know if a
small group of people who hold the lives of Canadians in their hands has their way.

If denying our request because of "national security" sounds absurd to you, it
did to us as well. Something is going on. One provincial access to information
request revealed minutes of a meeting involving provincial medical authorities
and our federal laboratory representatives who discuss hundreds of unique cases
of lyme disease in only a three year period in that province. Officially, in
that same three year period the reported number of cases was zero.

We had also previously asked to be allowed to participate in proficiency testing
of our Canadian labs but that request was quickly denied as well.

To put this in proper perspective, Canada has some of the highest rates in the
world of diseases and conditions sharing the same symptomology as lyme disease
but we have virtually no lyme disease, in stark contrast to every other northern
hemisphere country. There are 1.5 million Canadians suffering from disease of
unknown origin. Many of these mirror the symptoms of chronic lyme disease. We
want to know how many are in fact lyme. We believe that number will prove to be
substantial. It is implausible that Canada has protective border crossings that
prevent birds that are carrying lyme disease from entering our country. It is
much more plausible that we have many cases of lyme disease. Our cold
temperatures do not account for our low numbers as previously stated by the
government. Finland, a much colder country, has thousands more cases than Canada.

The best way to prove the prevalence of lyme in the bodies of Canadians would be
through aggressive research including multiple tissue biopsies from skin and
internal organs of those individuals who share the symptoms of lyme disease, and
post-mortem study of those who did not survive the onslaught of their illness.
We have had many requests Canada wide from very sick individuals or their family
members who want to leave their or their loved ones remains for this specific
research. Most have not been diagnosed with lyme, but suffer all of the symptoms.

Background information:

Our friendly migratory birds transport the ticks that carry Lyme disease around
at random. Biting insects such as mosquitoes and horse flies have also been
shown to transmit the disease. In the U.S. where our springtime migratory birds
come from there is an estimated 200,000 human cases of Lyme disease each year
and this is increasing year over year. Our government labs confirm fewer than 60
cases per year in Canada.

We do know Lyme is being misdiagnosed as other illnesses, or not diagnosed at
all. Lyme disease is robbing many Canadian children of their youth and adults of
their careers.

Lyme disease can cause serious long-term health issues if not identified and
treated early. It can affect the brain, eyesight, hearing, nervous system,
muscles, joints, digestive tract, skin and most organs including the heart,
liver, spleen, and kidneys. Because Lyme disease is a multi-system disorder many
systems of the body can be affected at once.

Ticks that carry Lyme disease can be found in your lawn, on logs, on your pets,
in tall grass or brush. If outside do not brush up against brush or tall grass,
or sit on logs. Wear a repellent containing DEET, and do a daily full body tick
check on yourself, your children and your pets. Talk to your veterinarian about
protecting your pets. Use fine tipped tweezers to remove an attached tick.
Prevention is the best medicine.
