Lyme

Video: "Under Our Skin" http://www.hulu.com/watch/268761

"4th:(Debate)-Using the MacBook they have been assigned, they should spend 45 minutes researching Lyme Disease, from sources that claim it exists as a chronic disease and support long term antibiotic use, and write a paper (about a page) supporting this position. (names that might help: Burrascano, Burgdorfer, Jemsek, Raxen, Alan MacDonald, Charles Jones, Klinghardt)

For the second 45 minutes they should research sources that discount chronic Lyme and/or long-term antibiotic use writing another page that argues against chronic Lyme and long-term antibiotic use. (names that might help: Wormser, Zemel, Shapiro)

They will title the first page “Affirmative” and the second page “Negative.” We have also watched a video on this, they may draw from ideas in the video."

Lyme Disease: A few sites you can use to get started, you may also look for others. CITE YOUR SOURCES under each paper.
