Under Our Skin
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.
The film follows six individuals including major league ball player Ben Petrick who report chronic symptoms, which they attribute to persistent Lyme infection. The majority of the film is devoted to the storyline of these patients and their reported recovery.
The film also focuses on state medical board investigations of Joseph Jemsek and Ray Jones, two physicians who prescribe long-term antibiotics for "chronic" Lyme disease.
Chronic lyme does not exist, it's a hoax.
For US Residents, the video is blocked due to copyright. However, there are several ways to circumvent YouTube's blatant act of censorship. Open the video directly into YouTube, then change the url at the top from "youtube" to "hooktube" while leaving everything else the same. This should be enough to allow you to watch it.
If that doesn't work for some reason, just get a free VPN service and route your connection through another country. This should work for you as well!
F**k YT, Google, and the Alphabet Soup for their obvious (but poor) attempts at censoring the public of critical information!
WaldO - You are pathetic. You don't get seizures from depression, Lyme victims DO get seizures because of the bacteria and several co-infections from lyme in their brain tissues. It is obvious you know nothing about lyme. It is horrific and it is like having 15 chronic illnesses all at the same time. The Nazi scientists have engineered the bacteria and viruses and one tick bite can give you 10-15 different infections. If it get in the brain & it usually does, it's in your nervous system and there are many symptoms of mental illness. Some even get paralysis. It affect every part of the body. Every organ, all cells, skin, muscles, tissue from head to toe. You can be bitten and the bacteria and viruses can lie dormant for many years before any symptoms appear. The different bacteria communicate with each other, they hide by creating biofilm and cysts, and some are like corkscrews where they can burrow into tissue anywhere in the body. Most lyme victims have 2-3 pages of symptoms when they are searching for a doctor to diagnose them. Very few doctors know anything about lyme. They don't know how it affects people and they don't know how to treat it. Only a few doctors who have had it themselves or their family members will get trained and treat patients. Thank God for them. Mainstream doctors, neurologists, Infectious Disease doctors are ALL Useless!
Get educated. If you get it you will change your tune fast. It is the fastest growing infectious disease in the world. Many folks are walking around with it now and don't know it yet. Mothers pass it on to babies in the womb, it is transmitted sexually and the blood supply is tainted with lyme.
I can't watch the video, it's has been banded from my country USA. I'd really like to see it because I am a Lyme sufferer. I've heard it's very informative.
As a sympathetic outsider, my well-intentioned feedback to the makers of this ref. making (even) more impact;
- it's (too) long. un-involved people are not willing to give c.100 mins to this sort of thing these days.
- break it into chapters, so people can jump to the bit they're interested in
- make an edited (20 min) version. (I think the string of people listing their misdiagnoses is powerful.)
- add a link here to a succinct science type summary (a few pages max) on it - the video alludes to the science but gives no meat (at least in first 40 mins)
- also add incidence rates and impact (e.g. mental illness is 23% of total human DALYs, what is Lyme?)
Best wishes
Ya know... I had a dream a few years ago that this Secret Group, kinda like the Freemasons or Illuminati , and called the "Robin Hood Club" was formed to 'Deal' with these slimy Corrupt Doctors & Lawyers and Politicians. The way it was done was a kinda "Whats good for the Goose . . is good for the Gander ". Like with this Lime Disease, the Doctors that said patients needed a Psychiatrist and it was all in their head... and the patient ended up suffering worse than a POW in a War, and even Died.... Someone, who had a terminal disease and is still able to function could gather a ton of Lime Tics.... and saturate the Doctors yard at HIS HOME... or in His Car.... And then just ride off into the Sunset. Or a Politician that works for Corporation Bribe Money, and NOT for his constituents that voted them in.... and literally thumbs his nose & laughs at the Citizens that elected him and gave him the job that Their Tax Dollars his paycheck and career is made from. Yea, THAT Politician needs a taste of his own medicine..... like His 'Career Shortened.'
. . . . ( in this 'Dream' I had )...The 'Robin Hood Club' used an underground grassroots type of system... ( Kinda like the group "ANONYMOUS" or Illuminati ... ) .... and took from the Corrupt & Lying RICH. . . and Gave it *BACK to the Poor *.... I mean, if these "Robin Hoods" only had a Year to live anyway, what did it matter? It was a way to GIVE BACK to society.... and leave this Planet a type of HERO, . . in a way.
----> But... like I said... It was a GREAT DREAM I had.... Yea... I LOVED IT! Maybe someday we might have some "Robin Hoods" appear, to Do the Right Thing... someday.
..... Oh . . BTW. . .One more thing. . . Did I mention that " I " am OLD & have a Terminal Disease ???....
Yea. . . LIKE THAT !

How do I watch this film? It keeps saying "please sign in to view this video" and I am signed in.
Stupid, arrogant doctors! The next time I get a client who has a problem that I don't feel like working on, I'm going to tell them that they're crazy! I'm not in the medical field but what would life be like if we all did that?
I have exactly the same symptons, but it's from fluroquinolone side effects, also chronic (antibiotic - cipro, levaquin and others)
Search the net for how to safely electrocute pathogens. You can electrify the muscles, blood, even the gut (at a very low level) in various ways. Quickly and (gasp) inexpensively. Fascinating emerging field of research and it dovetails with existing research: lead, mercury, many toxins and pathogens have positive charges while critical nutrients such as calcium and magnesium are negatively charged. There is SO much more about electricity and health that it would take years just to dig up the relationships between modalities (gentle electrocution, nutrition, uses of electron antioxidants in the body, sources of electrons, most effective modalities...)
I was diagnosed with Lyme and other tick born pathogens almost ten years ago. Although I'm not cured, after two prolonged treatments of IV meds in combination with z packs and mephron my SYMPTOMS have greatly improved. The doctors in which I've seen believe I was infected sometime around the age of 2yrs old and I'm now 36. Please note that I have also been reinfected at least seven times in eight years.

I recommend that viewers of this film go to Wikipedia to get another perspective on this film before they make up their minds on the validity of it.
I was particularly troubled by the gentleman at the end of the film who was presented as a researcher who had cracked the case, yet he was only identified by his first name. Makes it a little difficult to try and verify his results.
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia just over a year ago. The nerve medication Gralise has made life much better but I never fully agreed that was really my problem. KInd of like so many, i have sucked it up to a little improvement is better than none at all. Time to reopen the discussion with my Dr.
lymes disease started near a bio weapons facility.....coincidence.? This is biological warfare by the pharma phaggots
and kudos to Dr MacDonald and his research! well done! but what an end? horrible, tragic!
it will come to the point that doctors will practice without a license in order to treat patients with what is effective; it will also come to the point that health insurance will not be wanted because the insurance will dictate not according to the patient benefit but their own pocket; as long as medicine ignores that we are not all alike as machines are and should thus be treated individually and as long as medicine aspires to be god there will be more injustice and disaster to those who suffer; thank God a few are willing to step up and fight the status quo;
I am fully engaged in health activism. This film is revolutionary! Thank you for the wake up call.
With the rise of treatment-resistant bacterial diseases, doctors are
more reluctant to prescribe antibiotics. Maybe we should stop pumping
our cattle and poultry full of antibiotics and we wouldn't have this
problem.
I hate the politics and the way the insurance companies in the USA manipulate things to save them money.....It makes me soooo appreciative of the health system we have here in Canada...
Wow doctors getting in trouble for prescribing pain killers for pain yet now they're getting in trouble for prescribing antibiotics for biotic diseases when do those people who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of their lives get to actually be the doctors they trained to be untie their hands doctors and patients make their own decisions together both parties know the consequences and or risk and if you don't like one action of another there are many other doctors you can see you from have a good day. and always remember when you tie the good guys the doctors hands the only people whose hands are untied are the bad people. (use your imagination to figure out who the bad people are

This sounds like what my brother has suffered from most of his life. He has had many of the symptoms the patients in this film have had, including depression and fibromyalgia. He was referred to psychiatric care because some doctors thought his depression might be causing psychosomatic symptoms. His daughter was diagnosed with Lupus a few years ago, which makes me wonder if she also might have been misdiagnosed. I'm hoping he will watch this film. This film is shocking, but also hopeful, in that the patients who have suffered for so many years might finally be able to get the correct treatment.
there was that 'no, lyme isn't here' with some people in nova scotia, later it was detected, and i'm like 'ohshit, i go in the woods so often'...
Watching this doc and I am very worried..a couple of years ago I developed a large bulls eye rash. I didn't have insurance so I took some old antibiotics I had. Later that summer I got yet another bulls eye rash and this time had no medicine for treatment. I forgot about it but since I have been throwing up almost everyday and am extremely tired and achy. Nobody can figure out what's been wrong with me. I have insurance now and had many blood test, including one for Lyme but they all came back negative. come back negative last winter but am still suffering. If anyone has any advice please let me know. Are there any other tests I can take or should I retake? I used to be known for my high energy. I keep thinking back to these rashes and since then I am not myself.
not a doc but I think,a full body detox (could be the answer)may just flush this 'sheet' outta the system...works with alot of other diseases,why not this?
Who the f cares where it came from! It's here and something needs to be done. Living on Long Island, I know too many people with chronic Lyme, many in my family. My sister was just diagnosed and luckily she lives near Dr Cameron and she is getting proper treatment. It's scary and it sucks! Doctors need to wake up and help people. I teach nature-based children programs and am outside all the time. Ticks checks are a part of my everyday life, as it should be for everyone. Take bath, do tick check, put on PJs, brush teeth, etc. And not that it always works, but Lyme tests should be part of annual medical exams. At least it's a start. Hopefully a better test will be developed so that so many people don't have to suffer.
