I agree. It is absurd to complain about the cost of the film. These are people who have to work as well. They cannot work for free any more than you should be expected to work for free. I am grateful to all of the people who worked so hard to put this film together. I purchased several copies to give to my doctors. I saw between 10-15 doctors before I was diagnosed and ultimately I had to diagnose myself which was backed up by blood tests. I am forever grateful that this movie is out there raising awareness for Lyme disease.
Educating the public is the job of every Lyme patient, in my opinion. However you choose to do that is up to you. If you can’t afford to buy the DVD then provide the link for others to view, share the information you learned. As someone with Lyme disease, I feel if I do nothing but complain about my having Lyme disease then I have literally done nothing to raise awareness. I don’t want to put myself in the same category with Shapiro, Wormser, Steere, and their co-conspirators. Many of us Lymies would not be where we are today if these men had the courage to speak the truth early on. We might all have been diagnosed and treated early. If I can help one person avoid this disease, then even that is enough to make me feel I made a difference.
I already have Lyme. The question now is, what am I going to do about it? Well, I’m not going to sit and rot. If I go down, then I go down fighting.
