Feb 17/21 Guest Speaker: Robert Giguere -IgeneX Inc.
Bob Zoomed in all the way from Connecticut to give us an excellent presentation on Lyme and co-infection testing. This included COVID-19 testing too. Bob covered many questions from members and there were no shortages of questions! Bob seems to know almost every prominent person within the Lyme community. Of particular interest was Canada's refusal to meet or even discuss testing with IgeneX, even though they are certified in all 50 states.

Dr. Jessalyn Shamess ND.
These three delightful ladies kindly spent the evening with us on our first Guest Speaker Zoom Call! In addition to an outstanding presentation on the
Tandem Clinic and their approach to treating Lyme Disease, they took turns answering submitted and live questions from many BC Lyme members.
To our delight, every question was addressed so skillfully by all three of these dedicated Naturopathic Physicians. https://tandemclinic.com/

Oct 10/19 Guest Speaker: Mary Beth Pfeiffer, Investigative Journalist
Mary Beth Pfeiffer, author of Lyme: The First Epidemic of Climate Change, was so gracious in speaking to BCLyme and signing many copies of her book.

Mary Beth was absolutely charming and took the time to listen to so many individual stories and questions!
