David Leggett tells his story and pleads with the Canadian government to step up to the plate, support Bill C-442, pointing out that the government may not be living up to it’s federal mandate.
[CanLyme Note: Any research that showed that infectious diseases such as Lyme disease have been found to have a role in developing dementia’s including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been methodically ignored and dismissed. The emphasis on beta-amyloid plaques as the cause of AD has put us years behind. Plaques are simply a symptom, a result of…
Abstract We have developed a simple method for the detection of live spirochaete stages in blood of patients where chronic borreliosis is suspected. Classic techniques involving phase-contrast and fluorescence microscopy are used. The method is also quite sensitive for detecting other bacteria, protists, fungi and other organisms present in blood samples. It is also useful…

Well done David. I sure hope somebody in Parliament responds with some action.
Lyme disease is certainly on the rise.
Change needs to happen quickly.

Thanks, David.
Terrific letter.

Thank you for making this video. It is the bravery of people like you who are going to make a difference in the Lyme community. I have fought the tick borne illness battle for almost a decade and I have like you had much improvement. If the 35 different Canadian doctors I saw during the first 6 years I was ill had diagnosed me properly and started treatment I would not have had to endure years of unbelievable pain and disability. The fact that I have to go to the USA for treatment is a sin. The fact that I can still afford to go makes me luckier than many. Keep up the fight.
Again, thank you for what you have done.
