About a year ago in my own research
about Lyme disease, prior to my diagnosis I tried to uncover any rock
that would shed light on Lyme disease. I did this because I was
almost certain that I would be diagnosed with Lyme disease. There
were several practitioners whom thought Lyme was likely part of my
picture. Needless to say, when the diagnosis was actually made, in
some strange way it actually brought a sense of relief. It made so
much sense with everything that was going on with me, my symptoms and
my history.
Part of doing research is finding both
sides of the story and trying to cut through all the BS or crap and
making sure that your findings or conclusions are based on sound
sources. Research doesn't always reveal the most pleasant findings. I
remember something I stumbled across about Lyme and it goes a little
something like this... There is a beautiful pristine island located
off of Long Island, called Plum Island, but what goes on there is not
so beautiful and pristine. Human visitors are generally not welcome
on Plum Island with the exception of the few biologists that are
employed there. The island serves as the Animal Disease Control
Center and is currently owned by the Department of Homeland
Security. There is a serious conspiracy theory that this island is
where Lyme was produced by our own government in addition to West
Nile virus and a whole host of other biological germs. … so you see
this is what Plum Island and I have in common.

| Plum Island - Lab 257 |
I discovered there is a book about this
conspiracy called LAB 257 authored by Michael Christopher Carroll. He
spent several years researching Plum Island and was able to visit the
island and its labs on several occasions until he was no longer
welcome once it was discovered what his intentions were. He is an
attorney with a personal interest. Several months after discovering
that this book exists I saw a documentary about the very subject of
Plum Island and the connection to Lyme and several other biological
germs that aired on the Discovery Channel. I had avoided ordering LAB
257 because I wasn't quite sure I could deal with the anger and
frustration that would likely surface from reading such a book given
that I have chronic Lyme disease. Yet, recently something told me
that I was finally ready. I ordered the book and have only read a few
pages, but from what I can tell in the short amount I have read is
that it seems to be a carefully written and well researched book with
resources to back the findings. So far it is chilling and disturbing.
At the very least it could be a bunch of BS, but at least I'll be
more informed on the subject from someone else's point of view. It is
an interesting conspiracy and may not be that far fetched. I can only
imagine what kind of biological catastrophes could be on the horizon.
I'm glad to live in this country
despite knowing that our government doesn't always conduct itself in
a manner in which it protects its citizens. This is one of those
times I have to ask, “What if?” and What can I do?” Plum island
is one of those places that I think our government would rather the
majority not know about. Check out this article and the video
