Under Our Skin


Last night we had a fantastic program at the library. We screened the documentary "Under Our Skin", an eye-opening and shocking look at the state of Lyme Disease research and treatment in the United States. After the film, Dr. Steve Clark, a Lyme Disease treating naturopathic doctor, hosted a Q&A session about Lyme Disease. Thank you to everyone involved that made this great program happen at the Goodwin Library!

August Gardener's Roundtable Meeting - "Under Our Skin" August 7, 6 PM



After a one month hiatus, the Gardener's Roundtable will be meeting next month on August 7th at 6PM. We will be screening "Under Our Skin" and Dr. Steve Clark will answer your questions about Lyme Disease following the film.

 

"UNDER OUR SKIN"...A gripping tale of microbes, medicine & money will be shown at the Goodwin Library in Farmington on Wednesday, August 7th at 6 pm.  The documentary showing is sponsored by Lyme411 a NH patient support group.

UNDER OUR SKIN exposes the hidden story of Lyme disease, one of the most serious and controversial epidemics of our time. Slate Magazine called it "Head-spinning...riveting...a rigorously researched and highly thorough piece of investigative reporting."
Each year, thousands go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, often told that their symptoms are all in their head. Following the stories of patients and physicians fighting for their lives and livelihoods, the film brings into focus a haunting picture of the health care system and a medical establishment all too willing to put profits ahead of patients.  Please note that the movie is not suitable for children.

A question and answer session with Dr. Steve Clark, ND will follow immediately after the film.  Dr. Clark is an experienced Lyme-treating Naturopathic Physician..  Lyme411 holds monthly support group meetings in Laconia for people living with tick-borne illnesses as well as their family members and friends.  For more information about Lyme 411 visit www.LYme411.org or call 888-596-5698 (messages are usually returned within 24 hours).  For more information about the showing call Cyndi at 755-2762.
