It is believed to be about 90 percent accurate. The current standard test for Lyme disease is not terribly reliable. It is accurate less than half the time, and, when someone comes forward with symptoms, doctors often must rely on guesswork. "The patient comes in with fever, a history of tick exposure and a rash," says Dr. Steven Goldfarb of Southampton Regional Hospital in New York. "The object is to pick a treatment that you think covers the most bases." "The outcome may be unnecessary treatment," says Dr. Stephen Sigler, also of Southampton, on the eastern tip of Long Island that is ground zero for Lyme disease.

Extractions: "Benefiting Humanity Through Health and Peace." In June 1998, The Heimlich Institute became a member of Deaconess Associations Inc., to help advance and promote the mission and vision of The Heimlich Institute in perpetuity. Founded in New York in the 1960s, The Heimlich Institute moved to Cincinnati 30 years ago. Now located on the campus of Deaconess Hospital in Cincinnati, the Institute continues to conduct scientific, cultural and social research into issues of importance to the medical and scientific community, as well as addressing social concerns in the United States and abroad. Henry J. Heimlich , M.D., president, is best known for the lifesaving Heimlich Maneuver, for which he won the Lasker Award in 1984. But the technique is just part of the work of the institute that bears his name. Through The Heimlich Institute, Dr. Heimlich is researching new treatments for AIDS and cancer, and teaching the expanded use of the Heimlich Maneuver to save drowning victims, asthma sufferers and cystic fibrosis patients. Dr. Heimlich also works to promote peaceful solutions to international problems through the "A Caring World" program. The Institute places emphasis on using the creative portion of our minds in medicine and life. Each person creates within the limits of his or her knowledge and capability. With this creativity comes challenge, frustration and controversy. Dr. Heimlich's favorite phrase is: "If all of your peers understand what you have done, you are not creative," but when ideas are proven successful, in spite of attempts to interfere, inevitably truth prevails, and the joys and rewards of one's work are insurmountable.
