examine and change the current NGC Lyme Disease Treatment Guidelines to better reflect the needs of those suffering.

The IDSA has not revised its Lyme Disease Treatment Guidelines for more than 5 years. Nevertheless, the NGC recently permitted them to continue listing the guidelines – without updating them – based on the IDSA’s claim that the antitrust review process fulfilled NGC review requirements.
The IDSA told the NGC that it had internally reviewed the guidelines in 2011 and decided they did not require change.
The 2006 guidelines are not current since they do not reflect new science, nor does it acknowledge Chronic Lyme Disease, yet cases persist around the nation and world.
Sign the petition to urge:
The NGC to remove the guidelines as its listing rules require.
and/or
The IDSA to revise its guidelines in a transparent process that includes patient advocacy representatives and non-biased members.
