After years of living with mysterious symptoms, a young girl from Brooklyn and a Duke University scientist are diagnosed with a disease said to not exist: Chronic Lyme disease. The Quiet Epidemic follows their search for answers, which lands them in the middle of a vicious medical debate. What begins as a patient stay evolves into an investigation into the history of Lyme disease, dating back to its discovery in 1975. A paper trail of suppressed scientific research and buried documents reveals why tick-borne illnesses have quietly spread around the globe. Q&A with Doctor Ronald Stram will follow.
Dr. Ronald Stram is the medical director and founder of the Stram Center for Integrative Medicine and has been treating Lyme and other tick-borne illness since 2003.
