Join us for a screening of The Quiet Epidemic
Join us starting May 19th for this important event!
May is Lyme Disease awareness month and CanLyme is helping to raise awareness by hosting an online screening of The Quiet Epidemic, a documentary highlighting the struggles that patients encounter when trying to understand and recover from chronic Lyme disease. CanLyme is also hosting a live Q&A panel discussion at the end of the screening week.
The Quiet Epidemic
“THE QUIET EPIDEMIC follows a young girl from Brooklyn and a Duke University scientist both diagnosed with a disease said to not exist: Chronic Lyme disease. Their search for answers lands them in the middle of a vicious medical debate. What begins as a patient story evolves into an investigation into the history of Lyme disease, dating back to its discovery in 1975. A paper trail of suppressed scientific research and buried documents reveal why tick-borne diseases have been allowed to quietly spread around the globe.”
