How much is ILADS worth?

How much is ILADS worth?

If you look at the exhibit to the Settlement Agreement, you will see a
question, (#5) that asks potential panelists, for conflict analysis
purposes, to estimate the amount of income generated from treating
Lyme disease in their practices.

I think there are three categories...and the highest is over $25,OOO.
(I assume that this may well be the intended cut-off point for
conflict purposes. A doctor who draws more than 25 thou a year from
treating Lyme in his/her practice. Doesn't say so, though).

Now, I don't really know...but from what I read over at
LymeNUT...seems like a member of ILADS could hit $25 Gs in gross
revenue pretty quickly. And it would seem as though some of this may
be largely untraceable...as I guess, some of them refuse insurance
payments and insist on cash payments only. (Nice work, if you can get
it, BTW).

But I do recall reading that some patients claim that the initial
billing for the first consultation may be in the thousands...

So...that started me thinking...I wonder what the annual haul from ALL
of these "LLMD"s combined is?

AND...therefore, how much is the referral of these patients by Lymenet
worth to ILADS members and Igenex?

Hmmm?

How much is this combined enterprise worth?...(including Igenex). How
much $$$ is raked in by the LLMDs?


Any thoughts, anyone? Any creative ideas of how to make a sort of
ballpark estimate?


Just an interesting perspective...when you're talking about
"conflicts"...

I can only guess the exact numbers, but it is clear that this whole
"CAMP B" scam is one big money machine.

I would have to think that there is a LOT of money changing hands.
Millions? Tens of millions? How much? Should we ask Blumenthal to
find out?

And a deal like Lymenet...that refers patients to them...well, that
has a very real economic benefit. I would think that a good accountant
could sort of evaluate how much the LDA/Lymenet thing is worth to
Igenex, ILADS.

Geez, I mean..,it kinda looks like the Pat gives it away for free...

I am not really asking the question expecting an answer...but to ask
the question... to think about the question...maybe IS the answer, in
this case.

I am "raising awareness". (LOL).

At least millions. Yeah, let us ask Blumenthal to investigate.

Yeah, and you are a very dedicated Lyme activist.

Yes, "dedicated"...as opposed, to, "committed"...like some we know...
