$lyme: How Medical Codes Mortally Wound Corruption and Scientific Fraud (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781727574630)

Beyond the usual suspects, the INSIDE story on the scandalous global corruption surrounding Lyme disease. Exposure unlike anything you have heard or seen before by a former Senior Advisor to the US Government and United Nations. $LYME tells how scientific fraud has been orchestrated on a global scale. Every day, greed and collusion are generating millions for $Lyme while disabling and robbing lives of millions. $Lyme is costing the US as much as 25-75 billion dollars pers year. Millions are being denied existing diagnostic technologies that meet required standards such as those set by the European Union and by UN Member States. Persons are being denied treatment options that have met internationally validated standards and becoming disabled and dying because access to cheap generic antimicrobials are being obstructed in favor of palliative care or expensive patented biologics that manage symptoms and leave systemic infection untreated. On June 18, 2018 the World Health Organization issued the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases or ICD11. The World Health Organization received over 10,000 proposals for ICD11 revisions. An international all-voluntary committee executed a comprehensive approach that helped to successfully establish new codes for life-threatening complications from Lyme. This is a major achievement for the global Lyme community because it is the first time in over 25 years that these serious complications have been officially recognized by the World Health Organization. The international all-voluntary committee formed to improve the ICD codes for Lyme and Relapsing Fever borreliosis and address the human rights violations generated by inadequate codes. The ICD codes for Lyme borreliosis have been basically unchanged since the early 1990s. After twenty-five years of outdated codes, the committees' efforts contributed to groundbreaking recognition of certain life-threatening complications from Lyme borreliosis. The new ICD11 codes now include congenital Lyme borreliosis, and dementia and central nervous system demyelination due to Lyme borreliosis. ICD11 codes also recognize: Disseminated Lyme borreliosis, Lyme Neuroborreliosis, Lyme Carditis, Ophthalmic Lyme borreliosis, Lyme arthritis, Late cutaneous Lyme borreliosis, Other specified disseminated Lyme borreliosis, Disseminated Lyme borreliosis, unspecified, Infectious panuveitis in Lyme disease and Infectious intermediate uveitis in Lyme disease.
