:00:00. > :00:12.Hello from Somerset, where we're investigating lyme disease.
:00:13. > :00:16.Treatment should be simple, but we've discovered people travelling
:00:17. > :00:22.to America for alternatives that are expensive. These are my medications
:00:23. > :00:27.I take on a daily basis. And potentially fatal. Once you've
:00:28. > :00:34.treated the infection for long enough to eradicate the organise any
:00:35. > :00:39.more, additionalantibiotic will not help. They will encourage the growth
:00:40. > :00:50.of other infection was resistance will be you. You may develop a super
:00:51. > :00:54.infection. How serious? Death. Also tonight, Miranda turns her hand
:00:55. > :01:04.to cider making, using apples from her own garden.
:01:05. > :01:31.First tonight, a disease you can catch walking right here in the his,
:01:32. > :01:34.tiny ticks carry lyme disease. While it is treatable, a number of
:01:35. > :01:38.sufferers are angry about the way they're being looked after. Instead
:01:39. > :01:43.they're travelling to America for expensive treatment that can be
:01:44. > :01:48.dangerous, even potentially fatal. Our health correspondent imagine ewe
:01:49. > :01:52.Hill has the story. `` Matthew Hill has the story.
:01:53. > :01:58.In places like this, lyme disease is on the increase, spread by ticks.
:01:59. > :02:04.For sufferers, it's a terrible and debilitating illness. My vision is
:02:05. > :02:09.blurry. I've always got a low`grade headache I don't feel safe in my own
:02:10. > :02:13.body. There's no vaccine. Testing is complicate and not an exact science.
:02:14. > :02:19.We have to accept there is no perfect test for lyme disease. My
:02:20. > :02:22.own blood looked at by the country's leading expert to find out what
:02:23. > :02:26.patients are going through with surprising results.
:02:27. > :02:32.To a normal patient, getting that result, would they not think, I ve
:02:33. > :02:37.got lyme disease? I think they might well. Some tests are convincing
:02:38. > :02:44.people to travel here to America for expensive and potentially dangerous
:02:45. > :02:48.treatment. So, I've been investigating whether the doctors
:02:49. > :02:51.divided by the Atlantic can ever reach a compromise.
:02:52. > :02:54.How is it good for patients not knowing who to believe? It's
:02:55. > :03:00.terrible for patients. They're caught in the middle. It's a sad
:03:01. > :03:05.situation. We don't know what to think. We're just caught in the
:03:06. > :03:18.middle of this war, above our heads. We're the victims of this.
:03:19. > :03:21.The quantocks, an area of outstanding national beauty. Walkers
:03:22. > :03:29.can get close to wildlife. Not everything here in friendly. It s a
:03:30. > :03:36.significant place for people to enjoy the countryside.
:03:37. > :03:44.Groups need to be made aware when they're in this environment, they're
:03:45. > :03:51.in tick country, in a sense. The tick to beings. Exactly. `` tick
:03:52. > :03:59.tocks. Exactly. Tim Russelluals a ranger here for years. `` Tim
:04:00. > :04:03.Russell was a ranger here for years. Presumably, if you just brush it
:04:04. > :04:10.like that, is that how you get them? Yeah, yeah. For me, for example now,
:04:11. > :04:14.just walking past like that, brush onto your trousers. One of the
:04:15. > :04:18.things we suggest is to wear light coloured clothing. Ticks are
:04:19. > :04:22.generally quite dark coloured. If you have light`coloured clothing you
:04:23. > :04:27.can see a tick on you and British it off. Best not to wear shorts, then?
:04:28. > :04:32.Some of the advice we give in this open countryside is not to walk
:04:33. > :04:37.around in shorts and sandals, wear boots, leggings if possible and long
:04:38. > :04:41.trousers. Keep your arms covered. A very simple suggestion for people is
:04:42. > :04:50.stick on the paths. Ticks live off the blood of wild animals, but if
:04:51. > :04:55.they atoo much to `` to human, the bacteria causes lime zeez, which
:04:56. > :04:58.begins with a rash and flu`like symptoms and can lead to newer
:04:59. > :05:03.logical problems. The estimated number of lyme disease cases in
:05:04. > :05:06.England is between 2,000 and 3, 00 a year according to public health
:05:07. > :05:15.England, lower than in the US. Although some campaigners here
:05:16. > :05:19.believe the real figure is much higher. I've come to meet one
:05:20. > :05:24.campaigner in Dorset. She says they're not being taken seriously.
:05:25. > :05:30.And that testing, treatment and knowledge of lyme here is not as
:05:31. > :05:36.good as it should be. Hi. Hi, nice to meet you. Natasha. Come o in
:05:37. > :05:45.Natasha Metcalf knows all about this. She first became ill when she
:05:46. > :05:51.was a teenager. When I was 16 years old, I experienced night sweats and
:05:52. > :05:55.terrible concentration, suddenly couldn't concentrate at school.
:05:56. > :05:59.Very, very swollen glands. But it was never picked up then, sadly I
:06:00. > :06:05.managed to recover myself just by being in bed a lot. The second time
:06:06. > :06:09.I was 19. Same thing happened again. I couldn't concentrate almost
:06:10. > :06:12.overnight. Everything became very fuzzy. Then I managed to spend about
:06:13. > :06:19.nine months in bed and recovered myself again, somehow. 21, it
:06:20. > :06:25.happened again. The last time was 24. In 2008, that was. I haven't
:06:26. > :06:29.bounced back since. Extremely ill. She's had days when she hasn't
:06:30. > :06:34.managed to get out of bed. It's been very worrying. Natasha's family have
:06:35. > :06:39.taken her to more than 40 doctors and spent ?75,000 trying to solve
:06:40. > :06:45.the problem. They now believe they have a solution ` long`term
:06:46. > :06:52.antibiotics. These are my medications I take on a daily basis.
:06:53. > :06:56.Here are the two anti`buy yot ickds I'm take `` two antibiotics I'm
:06:57. > :07:02.taking at the moment. Along with them I'm taking a high quality
:07:03. > :07:17.pro`biotic, which is important to protect the gut with long`term aebz
:07:18. > :07:22.therapy. `` antibiotics therapy For my doctor in America so far we
:07:23. > :07:27.totalled it for 11,000, for one visit and phone consultations toer a
:07:28. > :07:32.year. `` for a year. Many in her group, she feelles she has no ``
:07:33. > :07:37.feels she has no choice. She says her long`term illness needs long
:07:38. > :07:43.hover term antibiotics. `` long`term antibiotics. I've done the ME route
:07:44. > :07:46.and the psychiatric route. I'm still sick. There's a big divide between
:07:47. > :07:50.those who can afford to go abroad and those who can't. Natasha went
:07:51. > :07:56.back to the US for more treatment. We'll catch up with her later. I
:07:57. > :08:04.wanted to find out what the experts here think, are there any down
:08:05. > :08:13.sides? I've come to see the top doctor in the country in charge of
:08:14. > :08:18.fighting lyme disease. That's doctor Tim Brooks. He's recently taken over
:08:19. > :08:22.responsibility for lyme. The rule here ` treat early with a short
:08:23. > :08:28.course of antibiotics. Some people may benefit from a second course, he
:08:29. > :08:32.says. But long`term use can be dangerous. Once you've treated the
:08:33. > :08:34.infection for long enough to eradicate the organism, any
:08:35. > :08:40.additional antibiotics will not make a difference. What they will do is
:08:41. > :08:43.encourage the growth of other infections resistant to the
:08:44. > :08:46.antibiotics within you. You might, for example, develop a funningal
:08:47. > :08:50.infection, what we call a superinfection, that can be
:08:51. > :08:55.extremely serious in some cases Serious? There are reported deaths
:08:56. > :08:59.for people who have been given long`term treatment with intravenous
:09:00. > :09:04.antibiotics. That's related to lyme disease? That was treatment for lyme
:09:05. > :09:12.disease. I've come to the US to find out if
:09:13. > :09:17.British patients here should be worried. Natasha put me in touch
:09:18. > :09:25.with a doctor in San Francisco, her own declined to be interviewed. Hi.
:09:26. > :09:30.Nice to meet you. Let's go into the consultation room. Raphael Stricker
:09:31. > :09:39.says he's treated more than 2,5 0 people for lyme disease. So any
:09:40. > :09:43.treatment can be harmful. So there's a risk`benefit ratio. You have to
:09:44. > :09:46.weigh the risk of this type of treatment versus the benefit for
:09:47. > :09:52.people who have chronic, debilitating disease. What evidence
:09:53. > :09:55.is there that long`term antibiotics work? The studies that have been
:09:56. > :10:01.done on long`term antibiotics are limited. There is at least one study
:10:02. > :10:06.and in fact, there are others, that show for newer logic lyme disease,
:10:07. > :10:11.it may take between six and 12 months of intravenous therapy to get
:10:12. > :10:18.those patients better. Definitely longer than what's recommended by
:10:19. > :10:23.the infectious disease experts. Can you assign me the author of that?
:10:24. > :10:29.You're talking to him. Natasha was also in California for treatment. We
:10:30. > :10:35.asked her to film for us. Ironically we've just driven by a huge bill
:10:36. > :10:39.board saying "protect yourself from ticks". A big picture of a tick on
:10:40. > :10:44.it. So clearly, they are doing their bit here to raise awareness.
:10:45. > :10:49.Patients like Natasha say they're benefitting from the treatment
:10:50. > :10:53.doctors, like Raphael Stricker, are prescribing. One thing that's been
:10:54. > :10:57.almost strange for me, but also a relief, is being surrounded by
:10:58. > :11:02.people in the I V Room in the clinic who are going through exactly the
:11:03. > :11:06.same thing and who also had such a tough time being diagnosed. It's
:11:07. > :11:11.taken them years and years to get the help that they need as well
:11:12. > :11:15.It's been such a relief being able to talk to them about their journey
:11:16. > :11:21.and their stories. Natasha may feel it's working for her here. But with
:11:22. > :11:26.the warnings I'd heard I decided to take a look at the American tests
:11:27. > :11:32.being paid for by hundreds of British patients. So, who should
:11:33. > :11:38.patients like Natasha believe? We've decided to carry out our own little
:11:39. > :11:42.experiment to test the tests vment `` tests. Back in the UK, two
:11:43. > :11:49.colleagues and I had blood taken and sent to the lab. Also to a private
:11:50. > :11:54.lab in the US. The same lab Natasha used. As far as we know, none of us
:11:55. > :12:01.have ever had lyme disease. What we're expecting is that they should
:12:02. > :12:07.all come back the same. From both the NHS and the American lab.
:12:08. > :12:10.Testing is based on finding antibodies to the lyme bacteria
:12:11. > :12:15.It's only part of the diagnostic picture, but it's crucial. This
:12:16. > :12:21.project concluded in January this year. At a conference in London last
:12:22. > :12:25.year `` last year on lyme disease, one campaign explained why. All the
:12:26. > :12:29.tests vary. I think we all have to accept that there is no perfect test
:12:30. > :12:34.for lyme disease. Still the position stands that people can go to a
:12:35. > :12:38.private laboratory overseas and get a test. That test might not be
:12:39. > :12:42.specific to lyme disease. And the poor patient then has an official
:12:43. > :12:45.looking piece of paper that says they have lyme disease and the
:12:46. > :12:50.doctor back in the UK doesn't know what to do with it. Natasha was also
:12:51. > :12:55.at the conference. So, a chance to catch up after her four`and`a`half
:12:56. > :12:59.weeks of antibiotics in the states. Still got a long way to goment I
:13:00. > :13:03.felt really `` go. I felt really good having IV treatment. But I
:13:04. > :13:08.can't stay there forever, so had to come home. But I'm still under the
:13:09. > :13:15.care of the doctor. Natasha has since returned to the US for more
:13:16. > :13:20.treatment. This is where it all happens for the test? It is. Our
:13:21. > :13:26.test results are in. From the three of us tested one of us was given the
:13:27. > :13:30.all clear by the American lab and porton. If we look at this one, this
:13:31. > :13:37.is James and it's completely negative. My producer also came back
:13:38. > :13:43.negative in the UK. This is Dickens, if you look at it here, there's a
:13:44. > :13:49.very faint band there and it is less dark than that control band there.
:13:50. > :13:54.It's present but negative. But this came back as positive from the
:13:55. > :14:00.American lab, which has a lower testing threshold. They do stress
:14:01. > :14:07.results must be looked at alongside symptoms and history. Any British
:14:08. > :14:10.patient seeing that result from Igenex what would you imagine they
:14:11. > :14:14.would do as a result of seeing a positive? I think the problem with
:14:15. > :14:22.the way it's presented is that it looks like it's positive and it s
:14:23. > :14:28.stated as being a real positive Our difficulty in any test of this sort
:14:29. > :14:32.is setting what we call a cut off, the difference between a nonspecific
:14:33. > :14:41.random reaction, the background noise, and the true response. We
:14:42. > :14:44.think that actually, there isn't an absolute right or wrong in any of
:14:45. > :14:51.these things. They all have to be taken into context of the patient's
:14:52. > :14:59.symptoms. Me, the test was negative from Porton. There is nothing at all
:15:00. > :15:03.to see. But according to Igenex I should also see a doctor as I could
:15:04. > :15:10.have lyme disease. They have given you a positive to an antigen called
:15:11. > :15:15.P 31, which we don't measure in the UK. Another protein and a strong
:15:16. > :15:21.positive to one called P41 here which has a problem in the sense
:15:22. > :15:24.that around half of normal people will have antibodies to that whether
:15:25. > :15:33.or not they've ever seen lyme disease. So it's meaningless really?
:15:34. > :15:43.So, it's unhelpful, rather than meaningless. Igenex told us there is
:15:44. > :15:48.no perfect test but the P41 is useful in showing up long`term lyme
:15:49. > :15:52.disease. They tell patients my type of result would need more tests No
:15:53. > :15:58.wonder then that this is confusing and difficult for worried patients.
:15:59. > :16:01.They may feel let down in the UK, but is their faith in America
:16:02. > :16:05.misplaced? Aren't you offering a lot of these patients false hope on
:16:06. > :16:09.little evidence of it actually working? They should be coming up
:16:10. > :16:12.with better treatment for these patients who are sick and who can't
:16:13. > :16:17.get treated because of what they're doing. I would say that having seen
:16:18. > :16:23.literally thousands of patients now with lyme disease, who get better,
:16:24. > :16:27.when you treat them, that I would err on the side of treating. I don't
:16:28. > :16:33.think it's false hope to make patients better. That's what we as
:16:34. > :16:39.physicians try to do. Lyme disease still divides medical opinion. But
:16:40. > :16:44.Igenex and Porton are talking about sharing data. Dr Brooks want
:16:45. > :16:49.difintive research into the illness. I don't think we can go on with a
:16:50. > :16:54.system where different laboratories have different results and cause
:16:55. > :16:59.confusion to patients, different management try tiara for `` criteria
:17:00. > :17:03.for patients and some patients being treated inappropriately and others
:17:04. > :17:09.missed. New guidelines are on their way too, which some feel are long
:17:10. > :17:15.overdue. Where we would agree there's a
:17:16. > :17:17.deficiency is that the guidance is not necessarily friendly to the
:17:18. > :17:22.broader community and it's not necessarily all in one place, that
:17:23. > :17:27.makes it very easy to put together a set of pathways which a general
:17:28. > :17:33.practitioner faced with a patient for the first time can follow to
:17:34. > :17:37.ensure nothing is missed. The proof, of course, will be when patients
:17:38. > :17:41.like Natasha start trusting the system again. I feel like we get
:17:42. > :17:44.told we're these crazy activists and we don't know what to think. We re
:17:45. > :17:51.caught in the middle of this war, effectively, above our heads and
:17:52. > :17:55.we're actually the victims of this. Next tonight, what if you bought a
:17:56. > :17:59.house and discovered in the garden one of the country's most important
:18:00. > :18:01.collections of apple trees? Well, naturally you'd get on with making
:18:02. > :18:15.some cider. That's what Miranda did. After 100 years of studying and
:18:16. > :18:20.advancing the science of cider making, the Long Ashton cider
:18:21. > :18:24.institute closed its doors in 2 03. The closure was a sad loss, but when
:18:25. > :18:28.my husband Nick and I bought our house on part of the old site, we
:18:29. > :18:33.were offered the chance to keep a part of the cider`making tradition
:18:34. > :18:36.alive. We were given these cider apple trees when we moved in. They
:18:37. > :18:40.were going to be grubbed up and turned into a housing estate. We
:18:41. > :18:43.were given these trees, planted them in the garden and all of them
:18:44. > :18:49.survived. This is a tradition that we want to keep going every year.
:18:50. > :18:56.It's late October, which can only mean one thing: Harvest time. Push,
:18:57. > :19:01.push! Our annual cider apple picking party is about to get started. We
:19:02. > :19:08.have the man, woman and child power, I've just got my fingers crossed
:19:09. > :19:16.that the rain holds offment `` off. That's good. Yeah. There's plenty of
:19:17. > :19:20.fallen fruit to be collected first. But the real fun starts as Nick
:19:21. > :19:27.organises the tree shaking. We'll get some steps up and wriggle them
:19:28. > :19:30.off the tree. Basically what we do is sit everybody under the tree and
:19:31. > :19:34.shake the trees. All the apples come down. The kids love it because it
:19:35. > :19:36.rains apples. Very exciting. They're going to do this one now. One, two,
:19:37. > :19:48.three ` go! Many hands make light work.
:19:49. > :19:51.Commercially they have tree shakers, but we use a bit of man power. It
:19:52. > :19:55.works brilliantly. It really is great fun for the kids. Look at the
:19:56. > :20:01.colour of those apples. They're fabulous. Well done. Do you want to
:20:02. > :20:02.see my naughty apple? It looks like a bum.
:20:03. > :20:13.Look. The picking party is going well and
:20:14. > :20:17.even the arrival of the threatened rain hasn't dammened spirits. The
:20:18. > :20:22.children don't really `` dampened the spirits. The children don't
:20:23. > :20:28.really care they're getting wet In fact, my daughter is up the tree
:20:29. > :20:38.getting the very last apples. Shake her out of the tree! But perhaps not
:20:39. > :20:45.everyone is enjoying it. When are we going in? When we've
:20:46. > :20:50.shaken all the trees. With the rain pouring down, we wrap
:20:51. > :20:59.up the party and it's just us left to gather the final bounty. Watch
:21:00. > :21:04.out. One, two, three... Seriously heavy. Normally we take them to Guy
:21:05. > :21:07.who presses them. This year there's an apple fair in the village. We're
:21:08. > :21:10.taking them there to press them instead. It's going to be great OK.
:21:11. > :21:30.Ready? Let's go! The village of Long Ashton with the
:21:31. > :21:36.cider apple goes back a long way. Today, they're celebrating it in all
:21:37. > :21:41.its glory. # You know I love you
:21:42. > :21:46.# I always will # My mind's made up
:21:47. > :21:50.# By the way that I feel... # The research station was based here
:21:51. > :21:58.for 100 years and was responsible for the creation of many of today's
:21:59. > :22:01.cider apple varieties. Tanned was one of the station's former
:22:02. > :22:07.employees that helped us save the last trees from the site. Thanks so
:22:08. > :22:10.much for making that initial introduction, for us with the cider.
:22:11. > :22:13.If we hadn't talked to you, we would never have got connected with it. It
:22:14. > :22:17.was just fortunate that you were there at the right time. The trees
:22:18. > :22:21.would have been lost because of the redevelopment. Feels really good to
:22:22. > :22:28.put cider back onto that site as well. Oh, yeah. It was all
:22:29. > :22:35.destroyed. So the trees were saved from the mulcher. But their apples
:22:36. > :22:43.are destined for the chop. Our harvest is finally shredded. ``
:22:44. > :22:48.finely shredded. Bingo. Do I need to fill it up? Then transferred into
:22:49. > :22:52.the hydropress where the juice is squeezed out. It's coming out now.
:22:53. > :23:01.It's all done using only water pressure from the tap. We had how
:23:02. > :23:08.many kilos of apples? About 15 kilos of apples and we've got 1. 5 to two
:23:09. > :23:12.gallons, nearly ten litres of juice. That's really good. And quickly
:23:13. > :23:18.Very quickly. We have plenty more sacks to go as well. So, now we ve
:23:19. > :23:25.got the raw material, a week later, Nick and I are back at home, ready
:23:26. > :23:29.to work some cider magic. We've got the juice that we pressed
:23:30. > :23:34.the other day down at the apple festival. This is where I hand over
:23:35. > :23:38.to my husband, Nick, because he does the chemistry. Set up on the kitchen
:23:39. > :23:44.table. What do we need to do? Basically, the juice is full of
:23:45. > :23:53.natural sugar. We put just juice into the demijons over there. We let
:23:54. > :23:58.the sugar ferment into alcohol. Carbon dioxide comes out through the
:23:59. > :24:04.air trap at the top. We're left a few months later w, cider. `` with,
:24:05. > :24:08.cider. The juice will need at least three months to ferment. Last year's
:24:09. > :24:11.batch is ready for the next step in the process. This one is secondary
:24:12. > :24:17.fermentation. We've got, we're coming to the end of the primary
:24:18. > :24:24.fermentation. So we're just about ready to put that into bottles now.
:24:25. > :24:32.Sugar in this one? Sugar in that one. OK. Bit more. There's just one
:24:33. > :24:37.final, crucial step needed if you want a sparkling cider. Why would
:24:38. > :24:42.you add more sugar? The fermentation is nearly finished and we just need
:24:43. > :24:46.to feed the yeast that little bit more to allow it to breathe some
:24:47. > :24:52.carbon dioxide into the bottle to give it the fizz and sparkle. OK,
:24:53. > :25:00.simple as putting one of these in here. Lid goes on. That's the beauty
:25:01. > :25:04.about cider is the simplicity. All we've got in that bottle is apple
:25:05. > :25:11.juice, fermented with natural yeast. We've put a tiny tiny bit of sugar
:25:12. > :25:16.`` a tiny bit of shug for athe final fizz `` sugar for the final fizz. We
:25:17. > :25:20.could never drink all we produce. But now comes the bit that this has
:25:21. > :25:26.all been building up to. Every year in late January, we hold a
:25:27. > :25:30.wassailing party. It's a traditional celebration to bless the apple trees
:25:31. > :25:35.and ward off evil spirits and it's all about to kick off. It's January.
:25:36. > :25:39.It's the beginning of the cider year, where we are just about to
:25:40. > :25:44.bless the cider apple trees an drink some of last year's cider. We've got
:25:45. > :25:49.about 150 people coming this evening. We have a massive bonfire
:25:50. > :25:56.outside. Hopefully, we will be out there, round the bonfire, wassailing
:25:57. > :26:00.the trees and celebrating the cider. The sausages are on. And the guests
:26:01. > :26:08.are getting stuck into the cider, so it's time to get this all going
:26:09. > :26:14.Cheers. In Hello everybody. Welcome. This is our fifth annual wassail.
:26:15. > :26:18.Thank you very much for coming. You can drink as much cider as you
:26:19. > :26:22.possibly can. In a moment, we are going out to the fire and process
:26:23. > :26:26.around the trees. The idea, especially from the children, so we
:26:27. > :26:31.make a load of noise, because we have evil spirits to chase away from
:26:32. > :26:35.the trees. Armed with anything that will make a noise, the whole party
:26:36. > :26:45.heads into the orchard, where the fire is going strong. And the music
:26:46. > :27:01.is hotting up. Now, it's time to make some real noise.
:27:02. > :27:16.MUSIC: Here we go round the mulberry bush As much noise as possible, go!
:27:17. > :27:24.If the racket we're making is anything to go by, I'm sure we're
:27:25. > :27:27.due another bumper crop this year. When we bought this house, we had no
:27:28. > :27:31.idea about the history of the cider that went along with it. We planted
:27:32. > :27:35.this orchard and now, we are getting together with the local community
:27:36. > :27:39.and celebrating something as simple and pleasurable as a cider apple.
:27:40. > :27:43.It's a magical thing. I think these customs are great to keep going in
:27:44. > :27:44.our busy lives, modern lives, we don't have a lot of this. These
:27:45. > :28:01.moments are really special. Wassail! Wassail! Wassail!
:28:02. > :28:20.APPLAUSE Well, that's just about all we have
:28:21. > :28:28.time for tonight. Don't forget, keep in touch with us on Twitter. Or send
