I believe you are right. The CDC does promote the spread of Lyme Disease. This is why it is so difficult for me to find a "Lyme Literate" M.D., and why I have to wait to get money for a Bowen test, because I am disabled and because of the CDC my health insurance won't pay for it.
I believe that the CDC is promoting the spread of Lyme Disease because of both profit for the pharmaceutical corporations like you said, and the controversy over Plum Island (and everything involved with, and linking to that.) I don't trust government approved information, simply because they lie. I have had way too much experience to believe otherwise.
In the meantime we are all forced to search for alternative treatments and cures.
I totally agree that Lyme is frequently misdiagnosed and it is indeed a chronic illness.
