Dear RM Agents and Readers,

Well, the push to continue with the killing off of this group of folks is still in the mix. 2 to 5 years on the revision of how to treat lyme and in the meantime they will hold to the CDC
ISDA policy; what a crock. Just my opinion.

Many Blessings,

LYMEPOLICYWONK: IDSA says revision of Lyme disease guidelines expected to take 2-5 Years

Yesterday, IDSA spokesperson Diane Olson informed LymeDisease.org that they hope to complete the new guideline development process within 2-5 years. It takes time to actually review evidence using the GRADE process—which is now required by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). When I sat on the guidelines panel for the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), we took roughly three years to evaluate and analyze the evidence.

Currently, the ILADS guidelines are the only Lyme disease guidelines listed on the National Guidelines Clearinghouse, which requires that guidelines comply with the IOM standards for creating trustworthy guidelines. (The NGC is a federal government database that lists guidelines meeting evidentiary and other requirements established by the IOM.) The IDSA guidelines were removed from the NGC because they were outdated and failed to meet the IOM standards for trustworthiness.
