Lyme Disease Conference on Capitol Hill

Making the The Quiet Epidemic documentary about Lyme disease and bringing it to Capitol Hill was a dream of ours. Senator Richard Blumenthal shared opening remarks before The Quiet Epidemic film presentation at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, on November 20, 2024.

In Dr. Kenneth Liegner's words, during the conference,
we need a tidal wave to reach those who have the power to change the course of history for Lyme disease. By rallying leading nonprofits, patients, caregivers, celebrity advocates and even those who are not yet impacted, but care, we can create that tidal wave together.

What our patients say…

  • “Dr. Liegner has been in the trenches a long time treating Lyme disease. He was working side by side in the early days with government scientists when they were curious and truly interested in learning something about this disease, before dogma took the place of science. "
