Under Our Skin - Lyme Disease Documentary Trailer

Posted by admin as Films Trailer

An infectious film about microbes, money and medicine.

One of the most controversial illnesses in the history of medicine, Lyme disease may be the fastest growing infectious disease in the United States. Yet each year thousands are misdiagnosed - many of them told that their symptoms are “all in their head.” This upcoming documentary investigates the shocking human, medical, and political dimensions of Lyme disease, an emerging epidemic destroying countless numbers of lives. A case study of the dangers of the confluence of money and medicine, the film brings into focus a haunting picture of our healthcare system and its inability to cope with a biological terror under our skin.

Watching this video …
Watching this video has moved me deeply. I contracted lyme disease last May and got something called lyme mengitis. .I ran 104-105 fevers for 4 days, and finally went to the emergency room, I thought I would die. I was put on IV antibiotics for a month and my tests, I know not accurate, but it appeared I was free from the disease. I have been healthy since, but a very frightening experience. Lyme disease is life threatening and this video makes me want to help, what can I do?

There is hope…. …
There is hope….Chronic Lyme is not forever. Check out the 2nd video response. It helped me.

I know some people …
I know some people that manage their Lymes with homeopathic treatment and help from knowledgeable nutritionists. good luck and watch out for “damage” it does to your hormone producing organs. I have to take a handful of supplements now to function.

God Bless. Please …
God Bless. Please try “Organic Lapacho tree tee”. I lived in the Amazons for 6 years I know, Also try Heavy metal detox . Lyme disease its only a problem in the U.S.A were the medical & insurance companies control the Health of the people.

May God bless you & …
May God bless you & keep you for making this movie! My aunt, her husband, & all three of her children have this horrible ailment & it’s so sad to see how sick they get from it! My aunt has also gotten Pseudo Tumor Cerebra (which I also have; different reasons though) from the Lyme & she’s lost her hearing & is losing her vision because of it as well. I pray that something can be done about this wide spread epidemic soon!

omg…. dr jones was my doctor, you mother er, HE SAVED MY LIFE, DIPSHIT!!!! HE’S 80 YEARS OLD AND STILL SAVING KIDS’ LIVES YOU PIECE OF !!!!!!!

I had lyme disease for 9 years.

I know the pain of having nobody believe you or want to help you.

I almost died.
I’m happy I found a doctor in time.

The Insurance …
The Insurance companies are the criminals who are behind the reluctance of the doctors refusing to treat Lyme. This is a fatal disease if not treated. These s ought to be thrown in jail.

good luck, i’ve had 3 different scans,they could’nt find nothing, but they all pull faces when they listen with stethoscopes, and that heart block , scared me, till i knew what it was, still here i know how u feel, u start working out how far u r are from medical attention, the amountof times i’d ended up in a&e just to feel better 2 to 3 hr later, when the problem reduces

im ok on that front …
im ok on that front, we all have it (yet undiagnosed)looking like a bite 24yr ago on my mum,bro,sis,and myself, only last week the link between a remembered bite we all got and the onset of symptoms over the years,and lyme disease,

How true. I have …
How true. I have not felt well since 1993. Ilook good and my family does not believe the limitations from chronic post Lyme.

Thank God, for …
Thank God, for making this documentary. I was diagnosed in 1996, after 5 years of treatment, I was thought to be cured. From 2001-2007 I was ok. Now I’m on a two month waiting list to see an LLMD. Symptoms are effecting my heart. This insanity has got to stop!! I thought now this second time around things would have gotten better. WRONG!

I thnk this a great …
I thnk this a great awareness tool. I was lucky diagnosed early and it breaks my heart that this is such a thing to go through. it’s hard enough by it self. And to deal with trying to get treatment is a shame a member of this great country is turned down help. A place where help is availble on every corner for anything you can imagine.

1 Tim 6:10-12 (NIV) For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil

Nothing proves this statement better than
The War for the cure and awarness of LYMES disease. My neurologist for example is getting a wonderful percentage from the Pharmasutical company, perhaps a beautiful home hidden in Mexico for family vacations, by keeping me and other patients on MS medications for the rest of our life. I call this inhumaine and corrupt!! You decide~
This is my Story: awaiting it’s HAPPY ENDING~

Multiple sclerosis …
Multiple sclerosis is just a name for:
Mulitiple Neurological symptoms, I know this very well. After waiting 24 hours in the emergency room with yet another Blatter infection, I brought my western blot results in hopes to have contact with the International disease specialists. The specialist told me to go back to my neuologist because the western blot in the US was ilegal, and Lymes was not my case!! Do I have to DIE on account of there ignorance? I have so much inside of me! HELP!

TheTanyamueller says June 24th, 2009 at 10:33 am

I suffer optical neuritus, fibermyalgia, painful spasms, cronique blatter infections, blatter problems resulting!
Quebec will not help me! I want to live, work and lead a normal life, but this chronique fatigue is dragging me down into depression to the point of no return!
I don’t look sick, and just want to die rather than live like this! I’m screaming at the top of my lungs, but nobody hears me!

I am still awaiting …
I am still awaiting a true diagnosis for lymes, my doctor says theres nothing wrong but after 10 years of it the pain is somedays so bad I want to kill myself. I live with it a few years ago a medical student helped with antibotics, though we both feel the infection is gone…the pain continues every day. I deal with it as I have been told so often I’m just making it up its all in my head. I feel sorry for those in my postition, but if doctors went public with what they do know. well,….

Not long ago the germ theory was ridiculed by the same kind of narrow minded a holes.

Nearly 20 years ago …
Nearly 20 years ago my son was diagnosed with Lymes disease or possibly Rheumatic fever.
Early detection and a barage of anti-biotics seems to have cured him of the arthritic pain.
Recently I came across a book titled “Lab 257: The Disturbing Story of the Government’s Secret Germ Laboratory”, which is about Plum Island and the experiments with animal diseases and ticks to be used for bio-warfare.
Plum Island is very near Connecticut where the first reported cases of Lymes appeared.
