Concerned 12345-As someone in the medical community I have to disagree. There is no scientific consensus and even those who first challenged the concept of a chronic condition or post-treatment Lyme syndrome are back-pedaling. Lyme is treatable if caught early, but for those with late stage Lyme, traditional treatments may not halt disease progression. The medical research supports that finding, even if there is debate on how to treat  those with post-treatment Lyme syndrome. To suggest otherwise is irresponsible. There is simply too much we don't know yet and additional laboratory based research is needed. Hence the reason academic medical institutions are creating new centers to study it.
