The Lyme disease community is becoming truly blessed with wonderful supporters. Today we want to introduce you to one of our newest supporters, Talia Osteen and her band The Wellspring, which includes herself and Dov Rosenblatt.
Back in May Talia was one of the first celebrities to sign up to star in the Lyme disease public service announcements Lymenaide produced. Unfortunately timing didn’t work in our favor. She was bummed and we were bummed, but we promised to keep in contact and make something happen in the future. True to her word, Talia has stayed in touch with us and in making Lyme disease awareness an important message.
We sent Talia and The Wellspring one of our celebrity press kits. We also asked them if they would like to get involved with our Lyme celebrity upcycle fundraiser this Fall. They said yes! If you don’t know about the upcycle fundraiser you can read more about it here- http://upcycledbyash.blogspot.com/p/lyme-project.html. We are humbled by the support of our celebrities in helping us, and thankful for The Wellspring’s participation in our fundraising efforts.
We are also excited to announce The Wellspring performed at a benefit for the Gulf in NYC on July 25th and released The Wellspring EP on iTunes on July 29th. They are extremely talented and their music is good for people of all ages no matter what genre of music you prefer. Their EP release is amazing and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it as much as we do. Please check them out and show them the same support they are showing the Lyme Community. You will be healing more about them and their Lyme disease support soon!

Researchers Need Help from Lyme Disease diagnosed people! There are a number of research organizations attempting to better understand Lyme disease as well as to develop better diagnostic test kits. On the diagnostics side, biotechnology companies like SeraCare Life Sciences and BioSpecialties Corporation run a number of diagnostics research studies for people diagnosed with Lyme Disease, paying participants $400+ to donate blood samples which are used to develop Lyme Disease diagnostics test kits (see: http://www.idonateplasma.com.) On the research side, Columbia University, and the Lyme Disease Research Foundation of Maryland are researching the proteomics, diagnostics, and epidemiology of Lyme Disease. On the clinical trial side, the National Institute of Health’ sponsor a number of clinical trials.
