Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Lyme Disease: Discussion

9:00 am

Dr. Gerard Sheehan:

Yes, of course. It would be worked out by reliable testing. That is where the big difference is between our view, or what is essentially the conventional medical view throughout the world, and unconventional views. At this stage it is based on testing. Essentially, the two-tier test we have described is considered to be almost 100% effective in making a diagnosis. From case to case, if somebody has something that points to the possibility that he or she is suffering from an active infection, irrespective of the result of the test, it will be considered and treated accordingly.
