I found a Senate Hearing on Lyme done back in 2012. I know that many have stated that treatment seems to be hard to get through your regular insurance. I don't know if any of this information could help anyone but there are several articles included to support that lyme is autoimmune in the Dr. Katz transcript. This transcript is second one down under the third panel. This doctor talks about methods of testing and treatment that is needed to treat Lyme.
