and they often overlap. Therefore, clinical care, medical education and research is best when done for all of these diseases together. A clinician must know how to identify which of these similar diseases a person has in order to know the best treatment. The goal is the NEI Center™ to be like cancer centers.
Alabama work: A chance conversation with an Alabama senator
revealed he has a personal connection to Lyme disease. Thus, we are now
working to establish the NEI Center in that state.
We are making progress in this state now.
Florida work: In 2011, Florida International University said they
were interested in establishing the NEI Center™ there. But the
researcher they wanted took an offer to establish
a similar center at NOVA Southeastern University, also in South Florida.
New Jersey work: In 2010, PANDORA Org and
Lifelyme successfully worked for a
resolution to be passed in the New Jersey legislature recognizing the need for an NEI Center™. We were disappointed to see this goal not progress any further in that state.
