Her childhood home town, Glastonbury, is just a few miles north of Old Lyme, Connecticut, where Lyme disease was first diagnosed in the 1970s. After a lifetime of poor health and the tragic deaths of eleven next door neighbors in Glastonbury involving suicides, drugs and autoimmune diseases going back as far as the 1950s, she was prompted to investigate their cause. Once diagnosed with ‘chronic borrilliosis,’ the Lyme spirochete, by Dr. Paul Lavoie in San Francisco in 1987, it became apparent to the author this was not a brand new disease of the 70s. The resulting seventeen year investigation for the origin of Lyme disease has uncovered a scandalous collaboration between the Nazis and the Soviet Union in biological warfare through World War I and World War II.
