You may already know this but,ILADS is demanding retraction IDA & CDC for the 4 wk protocol, A new panel has been selected for a complete investigation and retract the old 4wk pro and that long term ABX is harmful. this will take place July 30th 09. I found this info on the ILADS site.I hope it changes for the IDA, it will help us with our Insurance, and my workcomp claim if my medation carries beyond July 20th 09. I think it will be a big help for all lymies, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed. David
