Millions of women are set to stop doing housework on August 15 and organizers of the strike say the stoppage will last as long as it takes for men and kids to realize that cooking, cleaning, mopping, ironing, vacuuming, washing clothes and dishes and doing windows and scrubbing the johnnie is NOT women’s work only.

All I’ve got to say is, ‘Beware the Ides of August,’” Rhonda Bishop-Morley, of the firebrand women’s rights group, Women Unleashed, told me exclusively.

“Women have come a long way since the 1950s when we were afraid to demand help around the house because men controlled the money, and if we complained, they’d cut our ‘allowance.’

“Now we’re making as much money as men, and in some cases a lot more.

“And yet somehow we’re still expected to come home after a hard day at work and get cracking on ‘our’ chores.

“Sorry, Charlie. Those days are over. If you think the garbage is stinking up the house, take it out yourself. While you’re up, why don’t you vacuum the living room and scrub the toilet.

“This gal ain’t doing it!”

For others, antibiotics aren’t available or haven’t worked. In many cases these people have turned to various herbs and supplements for support in the battle for their health.

If you have direct experience as a Lyme sufferer or have helped a patient, friend or family member recover his or her health, we want you to weigh in on what was, in your experience, the most effective treatment.

Simply check the drug or herb or combination that you feel was most important to the recovery process. You can select as many as you like. Rest assured, your input will help others make informed decisions that could mean the difference between health or sickness.

Additionally, we encourage you to leave comments describing your experiences in detail. If you have battled Lyme disease, you know how lonely the fight can be. Hearing that others have won the battle and recovered their health is encouragement, and hope, that patients who are just beginning to treat can believe in.
