TO: All Lyme Patients and Their Families and Friends EVERYWHERE!
The Massachusetts Board of Medicine has now received more than 50
complaint letters concerning Dr Allen C. Steere, Jr. A third of these
letters have become formal complaints and half of that number are NOW
under active investigation!
However, we still URGENTLY need MORE of the following bonafide Letters
of Complaint ASAP in order to trigger a full-scale investigation:
MISDIAGNOSIS, REFUSED TREATMENT OR FRAUD DUE TO:
1. direct contact with Dr Allen Steere
2. direct contact with ANY PHYSICIAN at New England Medical Center
(Tufts University) in Boston, or
3. any serological tests sent to Dr Steere's lab at NEMC.
ALL Letters of Complaint should be ADDRESSED and MAILED (cert w/return
receipt) to:
Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine
ATTN: Consumer Protection Unit
10 West Street, 3rd Floor
Boston, MA 02lll
Please forward COPIES of All your Letters of Complaint to:
Massachusetts Lyme Disease Coalition

Mashpee, MA 02649
With your courage and help, we can begin to change the medical politics
and uproot the corruption that has hindered any real progress in the
diagnosis and treatment of this insidious disease worldwide. As Ben
Franklin once said: "We can hang together or, surely, we will hang
separately." This is our opportunity to SEIZE THIS MOMENT rather than
continuing to allow our LLMDs to be eliminated one by one while the
lives of thousands of children and adults continue to be devastated by
Lyme.
Sincerely,
John F. Coughlan, Founder
