My wife and I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Dr.s
Montgomery, Hale, Dermer, and Ahrendsen for all of their work and time
on our behalf regarding the question of breastfeeding, Lyme disease,
and Tetracycline/Antibiotics.

After carefully reviewing all of the research literature and citations
you mentioned, we are settling in on using Tetracycline in treating the
Lyme Disease.  However, we found the suggestion of Dr. Montgomery to be
superb:  to test the absorbtion rate, we are going to have a blood test
done on our son after my wife has been on Tetra for about 7 days.  If
the absorbtion is only trace, we may persue introducing more calcium in
his diet to mitigate those trace amounts. Ironic that in this case,
taking calcium wtih Tetra may be beneficial!  We continue to
investigate how this would be done.  However, if the Tetra amount is
significant, which would contradict existing research, we'll have to
reconsider the course of action.

We are working with our Dr., who is a Lyme Disease specialist here in
Boston, on all this.  He was extremely impressed by the amount of
research we had put into this, and extended this thanks to our team of
Cyber-colleagues.

Thank you again for all of your help.
