Watching this video featuring Coyle felt as if I had been tied to the bumper of a pick-up truck and dragged behind it along a rough and rocky road. There are so many whacked-out and inaccurate statements it can make you sick just listening to it!

QUOTE- "The next expert to speak was Dr. Coyle, a neurologist affiliated with Southampton Hospital and Stony Brook University Hospital. Dr. Coyle is vice chair and professor at Stony Brook University Medical Center, as well as the director of the Stony Brook Multiple Sclerosis Comprehensive Care Center.
Dr. Coyle received her medical degree from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where she completed a fellowship in neuroimmunology and neurovirology. She has a successful research lab and a clinical practice at the Stony Brook University Medical Center....
According to Dr. Coyle, penetrating antibiotics, meaning IV antibiotics rather than oral, cure early-onset neurological Lyme disease.
Testing the patient’s spinal fluid, as well as brain imaging, are only two aspects of an extensive neurological workup that she requires prior to determining treatment. She prefers intravenous ceftriaxone to treat the mild to severe cognitive issues found to be part of neurological Lyme disease.
For patients who have neurological Lyme disease for a long period of time, as opposed to early onset, there is no guarantee of a cure. What Dr. Coyle could guarantee was that after intravenous antibiotic treatment, the disease would not progress."
Coyle KNOWS people could relapse and be sero-negative- per her publication in 1995 and others- yet she continuess to deny chronic Lyme disease is caused by active infection. Source
Coyle believes a spinal tap is the best way to diagnose neurological Lyme, even though we know only about 10% of patients will test positive. Source
Coyle states IGeneX and Columbia data and information is not accurate. Source
Coyle states Lyme can only be contracted by ticks and only in certain areas of the country. Source
