National
Capital Lyme Disease Association - Dr. Joseph Burrascano,
Jr. M.D. spoke to the National Capital Lyme Disease Association October
5, 2003 at Sibley Hospital.
Dr. Burrascano, one of the nation’s leading authorities on Lyme disease, and author of the ILADS Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines, addressed the National Capital Lyme Disease Association at its October meeting. He spoke on “The Lyme Disease Complex” Multiple Tick-borne diseases .
The meeting took place at the Ernst Auditorium, Sibley Hospital, from 2 to 4:30 PM. Dr. Burrascano addressed the complexity of Diagnosis and Treatment of Lyme disease and its co-infections. His talk is intended for both the general public and the medical community. Physicians were encouraged to attend. There was an opportunity for questions at the end of the program. There was no charge for admission.
Dr. Burrascano has practiced in East Hampton, New York, an area endemic for Lyme for over 20 years. He is considered to be one of the worlds leading experts on diagnosing and treating Lyme and associated tick-borne diseases. He has seen and treated more than 7,000 Lyme patients. As author of one of the most widely followed treatment protocols for Lyme disease in the US.
Dr. Burrascano has lectured on Lyme across the country and at international conferences. He is published in more than 16 medical journals and popular magazines. He has addressed Congressional committees and the military on the complexities of the disease. A founding member of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), he continues to serve on its board. Dr. Burrascano is a recipient of the 1998 Distinguished Physician Award. His treatment protocol is posted on the ILADS website at: http://www.ilads.org/burrascano_1102.htm
Dr Burrascano has been publicly recognized for his work on Lyme disease, cited by book authors and interviewed frequently for television, radio and the print media, including the major television networks, The New York Times, Newsweek , and the Wall Street Journal to mention just a few.
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection contracted from a tick bite that, if untreated or not treated early, can cause long-term persistent illness and death. Its harm and treatment problems were recently highlighted by the Washington Post in an August 5 article about author Amy Tan. That article can be found on the Internet at:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A19083-2003Aug4.html
As the Post article reported, The Center for Disease Control receives notice of 20,000 new cases each year, but it is estimated that this figure represents only one-tenth of new cases contracted yearly. Lyme disease and its related co-infections are endemic in the Mid-Atlantic region, including the Washington DC area.

August 23, 2003 – 11:00 am.- 7:00 p.m.
On Saturday, August 23, 2003, The Gettysburg Moose Park was "Jammin in the Park." The fun started at 11:00 a.m.! Lyme Jam marks the third annual outdoor music concert in Gettysburg to benefit Lyme disease research and education. This tradition began with Lyme-Aid 2001, then became Lyme Jam 2002, and now Lyme Jam 2003!
Bands:
A Very Special Appearance by Sean Mott at Noon. He has a beautiful voice you don't want to miss! Sean was terribly devastated by Lyme disease and Babesia (which is related to Malaria and can also be transmitted by tick bite) and fighting these diseases for several years. He has been feeling much better lately and sang his heart out at Noon.

***********
AMY ROSE has been a familiar solo vocalist in the area since 2001. Lyme Jam 2002 was her debut performance with a full band. Originally from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, she brought to Gettysburg a mix of different styles of music with a focus on country. She has a vested interest in the cause as her parents are both victims of the disease. A regular at the downtown Gettysburg block parties (Tunes for Blooms, Tunes for Trash, etc). Amy Rose has recently performed at the Gettysburg Hotel and Michael's Casual Dining in Spring Grove, The Sunday House, and many other local venues.
BLUE TONIC is a very familiar local classic rock band and a regular at the "Tunes For Trash/Blooms" block parties. While lead singer, Ernie Kranias is grilling Texas hot dogs by day, he rocks the world of Blue Tonic followers at night. A six-piece band with very familiar faces and sound, each of the band members bring special tunes and talents to the group.
ROBBING NOLL is an energetic mix of original and covered rock. Since they've been together, Robbing Noll has combined their diverse backgrounds to create a modern original sound that is sure to please many age groups. Band members include Rob Simon Noll, Mike Ford, Troy Weishaar and Tony Bitzel.
THE INSIDE is an acoustic/electric alternative rock band out of Gettysburg. The core trio of the band is Rob Dayhoff, Rob Nicodemus and Ned Salloom. The group is often described as "acoustic with attitude." They've recently added Troy Weishaar on drums and Dean Vaccher on bass guitar and are performing as a full band. Their music is a collective venture of honest thoughts and real experiences. The Inside isn't just their name, but also is the source of the music, lyrics and their original sound.
TOTALLY CONFUSED BAND is an eight piece band based in Baltimore MD. The band plays a mix of Swing, Jump Blues and Motown. Totally Confused has appeared locally and regionally at clubs, concerts, weddings and other private functions.

TOFU focused on Lyme awareness and education
By ALEX GAYHART - Times Staff Writer
Several years ago, Vicki Karam-Smith ran into Lovette Mott in the grocery store. As the two talked, they decided that an issue that has affected both their lives quite intimately, needed some support in the community.
It was through this conversation and a support group that ensued, that Ticked Off and Fed Up (T.O.F.U.) began. T.O.F.U. is an organization that provides education and awareness services on tick- borne diseases, most importantly Lyme Disease.
