The Quiet Epidemic – Official Trailer

Opening December 2nd in NYC and Nationwide in January!

After years of living with mysterious symptoms, a young girl from Brooklyn and a Duke University scientist are diagnosed with a disease said to not exist: Chronic Lyme disease. The Quiet Epidemic follows their search for answers, which lands them in the middle of a vicious medical debate. What begins as a patient story evolves into an investigation into the history of Lyme disease, dating back to its discovery in 1975. A paper trail of suppressed scientific research, and buried documents reveals why ticks – and the diseases they carry – have been allowed to quietly spread around the globe.

Got Lyme 1997 in Australia. Dismissed for years and years by medics. Nearly dead my 2012.. healed with homeopathy and chinese medicine. It’s hell what lyme sufferers are put through

Thank you for this! This is yesr 8 with chronic Lyme. We need more exposure on this ❤❤

This was a gripping doc. I cannot imagine the suffering of these people and then they are told that there is no such thing as chronic Lyme disease. The Federal Government has dropped the ball and has made it almost impossible to get a proper diagnosis. On top of that the insurance companies refuse to pay for the intravenous medication past a certain time period when in fact this can end up being terminal for the patient.

This film is an eye-opener to the tenth degree. EVERYONE needs to watch this film and take extra precautions when going out in the woods.

My heart goes out to the Italian girl Julia Bruzzese. Her father and this brave young lady have refused to give up and have become the voice for all of those quietly suffering while being told there is no such thing as chronic Lyme Disease!

SHAME ON THE CDC AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

This trailer brought tears to my eyes because we have lived with this nightmare with our daughter. Thank God for Bioadvanced Medical Center in Mexico!

I've had this over a year now and suffer with muscle, joint pain and sometimes even my bones seem to ache. Glad to see this has been made.

Its been 18 years now for me and still can't find help. Even the things that feel like they might be hopeful possibilities for help cost so much money that there's no way somebody that's been unable to work for as long as I have would be able to buy the treatment. Hopeless is the best word to describe Lyme disease. Hell is another good one.

I consider myself to be VERY LUCKY to be in the 80% group, started the antibiotics early, within a few days of getting a rash, which in my case was like a big bruise without bullseye. Been eight years now and don't seem to be suffering any long term effects.

Very well made and interesting documentary . Thank you for making it

[that_girl_eden]

I’m a chronic Lyme sufferer of over 10 years and am in the UK, and am desperate to watch this documentary film. Can someone help me out?

[szpzbtf]

Please consider another movie about this!!!

[TheVickiJo]

It needs to be available for free, not as a buy or rent.

I’ve been researching this for eight years they called me crazy they put me in the psych ward. I ordered a microscope for $700. The hospital said I’m losing blood, but they don’t know where I need a 4 pints of blood at September. This thing is sucking the life out of me

[TechieAquarius]

I'm grateful for this documentary. The reality and the rawness. But because I'm also living it I have to watch in small doses. All I can say is this disease is fucking real!!

[jeannebb]

Allegedly it spread escaped from. Fed animal test facility on Plumb Island, from the deer who swim at low tides to both south shore of Connecticut and north shore of suffolk county NY. Yes our deer are avid swimmers during low tides, even swimming to fire island shores to nibble in exotic foliage planted around summer homes.

Just looking at this should make think it better win Best Documentary Feature. Oscars have a problem with health movies

[wendyschryver]

My and and I along with 2 of my children have this disease. I am in my 24th year of chronic Lyme disease. It affects my life in some way every single day. Then add the rest of the family?

El lyme crónico también existe en España, Sanidad no es capaz de reconocer esta epidemia silenciosa y global en el mundo💚💚💚😞

[sarahpantera]

I had Lyme since a child I got really sick in 2017

Now I am very concerned with this. I like my neighbor, but when I have her inside my home she allows her dog to jump in my sofa, I feel uckward to say no to her. The dog walks everywhere outside, in the street, in the grass and then might contaminates my sofa with his dirty paws and fur. Now I have to avoid the neighbor getting inside my place because of the dog, and I start going to her home, but then I sit in her sofa, and the dog wants to play and drags all over the sofa, even if I don't sit in her sofa, and stay standing, the dog wants to play and jump on me for attention, and I feel uckward to avoid his plays. So I am stuck no way out. Unless I stop completely the visitations in my home and/or in her home and meet her in the sidewalks. I always cover my sofa with a sheet regardless this situation which I don't think prevents any contamination. I can't use hot water of my portable wash machine because it's missing the special hose installation for hot water. I am stuck. Soap should kill these nasty devils.

We did declare war on Mother Nature some decades ago. We now see her fighting back. The weaker she becomes the more she fights. We see the pattern yet we continue on the same path. I heard it best from the Terminator....lol "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves."
