Excerpt from The Martha\'s Vineyard Times. "Dr. Cameron maintains a practice in Mt. Kisco, N.Y., and has been a pioneer in Lyme disease as an author of practice guidelines, analytic reviews, and clinical trials. He is widely recognized for conducting epidemiologic research while practicing medicine, and for the past 12 years has frequently made scientific presentations at conferences on Lyme disease." Excerpt from The Martha\'s Vineyard Times. Thank you to the Times for bringing attention to what is currently happening in the area of tick borne disease. These illnesses know no limitations, it doesn't matter who you are, what your background is, where you come from or what kind of lifestyle you live, everyone is at risk. It is as simple as walking out into your backyard to be putting yourself into a position where you could be compromising your health. The Martha's Vineyard Lyme Disease Association, Inc. is being launched in conjunction with the events this week surrounding the screenings of the film Under Our Skin. MVLDA is proud to be bringing Dr. Cameron, the current President of the International Lyme and Associated Disease Society, along with Dr. Raxlen, who is seen in the film to the Vineyard. Both physicians will be making appearances at the Chilmark film venue on Wednesday evening and in Edgartown at a special presentation in the Whaling Church on Thursday. This is a unique opportunity for people to ask questions and talk with these two doctors who have years of experience and vast knowledge about treating tick borne disease. This is the first of what will be many events sponsored by the Lyme association which will be working on a year round basis to bring education, prevention strategies and support research efforts here on the island. For more information on the Martha's Vineyard Lyme Disease Association please visit the website www.marthasvineyardlyme.org. We hope to be partnering with the media, physicians, our new hospital, schools and others to maintain the level of awareness these diseases deserve so that we can become a community that can say we're doing everything we can to keep us safe from even one more person contracting a tick borne illness on Martha's Vineyard.
