Lyme Disease cases double, Fish oil good for everything

Lyme Disease Cases Double in U.S.: CDC
According to statistics released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of cases of Lyme disease has doubled in the U.S. since 1991. (that's 16 years) More than 21,000 cases are now reported every year, making it the most common illness transmitted by insects or animals in the country. The CDC says these figures are most likely an underestimation as not all cases are reported.
As Reported by CNN
Fish Oil Shows Promise in Brain Disorders
Fish oil is increasingly showing promise as a complementary medicine. There is evidence that fish oil supplements rich in omega-3 fatty acids can help treat bipolar and attention deficit disorders in children. A small study found a 30% reduction in manic symptoms with no side effects among children diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Re: Lyme Disease - a new research blog – please help
Thanks for the invite! I will check back in on you to see if there are any developments. I do not have Lyme disease, and would not choose to tell the stories of others in this format. But I am interested in what you discover!
Blessed BE
