"No rigorous study has found that patients infected with Lyme disease benefit from long-term courses of antibiotics."

"Chronic Lyme disease’ is a misnomer, and the use of prolonged, dangerous, and expensive antibiotic treatment is not warranted.”

"Feder says he felt it was important to write the article (“A Critical Appraisal of ‘Chronic Lyme Disease’”), published in the Oct. 4 New England Journal of Medicine, to correct some of the misinformation on Lyme disease being circulated on the Internet and elsewhere."
