K Smith Attachment 1: A little More on Patient
Story. I originally wrote my “story” in 2011. This is attached. As is my positive
blood results (Australian bio) and brain/spect scans.
Attached also is a picture of an EM on daughters face – She also has a positive PCR blood result. She has never left Australia. And nor had I before I went to the UK for Lyme treatment in 2012.
K Smith Attachment 2: “Lyme Disease: A
Counter Argument of the Australian Government’s Denial”. Referenced/Relevant to Comment 6.
An Audio / video I prepared (for those that have trouble reading) to detail the problems. http://www.lymeaustralia.com/k-smith-lara-research.html Please note: The original PDF version of Counter Argument has been corrected as of April 2014 (The content/message remains the same - was grammatical/spelling/formatting errors).
K Smith Attachment 3: Seabird Areas around Australia Coastline. Referenced/ Relevant to Comment 5. I wrote the information in this attachment a couple of years ago in order to show how often/where seabirds
interact with human population. This
information has also been available on the website since 2012; and can be seen
at: http://www.lymeaustralia.com/migratory-marine-bird-areas-around-aust-coastline.html
