What a waste of my time!!!

A Major Disappointment

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Watch this carefully. It's a terrific example of how to scare people, how to present information in a skewed manner, how to horrify without being specific. Of course Lyme disease is terrible. But this "documentary" is preaching to the choir, a choir that the producers assume have no interest in hearing unbiased reporting from both sides. This "documentary" feeds on rumors, hearsay, and half-truths. One interviewee actually said "We hear that" someone did or said some terrible thing--and the producers didn't demand that he cite his source or who it is that said or did this. What kind of reporting is this? The U2 sound woman insisted she was in great pain but we never learn what kind of pain, where; We keep seeing her walking around and smiling and lifting speakers. Huh? Aristotle insisted that to be an effective debater, one should be able to be convincing on both sides. This "documentary" is visually beautiful but it's ugly reporting. Skip it--unless you're a politician who wants to study how to sway people in an unfair manner.

Anyone watching this will be gripped by what unfolds like many a science fiction film but the sad part is that it is not science fiction but fact.Those of us suffering with Lyme disease know how true the experiences of the patients in this film are. All very melodramatic my daughter said when she watched extracts. She has seen my decline into chronic ill health housebound and retired early on ill health grounds and also my slow recovery on long term antibiotics to a point were I no longer have pain and can actually cycle again, when for 3 1/2 years I could not walk up or down stairs. She now realises that there is something very funny going on.Indeed there is something funny to put it kindly when our health authorities cherry pick science and play with words to support their 'opinions' as an example of a recent letter to all UK doctors from the Chief Medical Officer clearly shows.I was fortunate in having a very thinking GP who treated me according to my response, after a chance course of antibiotics improved my symptoms 4 years into chronic arthritis. The history of tick bites EM rashes and summer flu' had all been documented on my file, but not treated, when I had previously consulted with different doctors. Not aware that Lyme Disease was found here in UK I had not connected the dots, neither had the 5 doctors or 3 Rheumatologists I had seen.So what might on the face of it seem melodramatic is indeed very typical of what many patients with Chronic Lyme Disease experience.Then UOS dips into the history and the controversy. Every citizen should watch this Documentary and be aware what is happening within our health authorities across the World, that leaves so many chronically ill patients without treatment that can help them.I eagerly await UOS to have public showings in UK.

This film is not only superior in quality and professionalism, it is probably the most important health documentary in the world today. It uncovers a pandemic that affects millions of people in every state in the U.S. and every continent in the world. It exposes the politics and greed that lead to massive ignorance in the medical community and keeps millions of people sick. It is the eye opener that has paved the way for thousands to get the help they desperately need and has opened the door of baby steps toward badly needed reform. It takes a long and hard look at a disease that affects millions who are misdiagnosed with more than 300 other diseases and conditions, it is amazing to see the time, information, creativity, and comprehensive overview that is covered in the film.

I was diagnosed with Chronic Late Stage Lyme disease after 20 years of undefinable illness first said to be CFIDS then Fibromyalgia.I became too ill to function December 2007 after contracting a common viral illness while working as a Pediatric RN.In Oct. 2008 an Integrative MD finally was able to go through my multi-system complaints and test for Lyme, I am positive.The trailers to this movie were enough to convince me of the reasons I was not properly diagnosed in the first place, it also helped me to understand I am not alone.As a former member of the medical community who was clueless to this disease I am ashamed...I am making sure all my friends and colleagues in the health-care field see this documentary to help open their minds as to what this bacteria can do to a person.They saw me go through it, they see what it has done to me yet it is still difficult for them to believe. This film does a great service in making them see the truth.
