But who was right? With this documentary and the included news angles on web and tv, the two journalists have managed to bring the debate on Borrelia a big step further for the benefit for anyone who in the future risks putting health and money at risk during treatment with the private Borrelia doctors. That's why Michael Bech and Ketil Alstrup are worthy of the Cavling prize.<br><br>In order to get the documentation in place, the journalists had to use both hidden camera, access documents tire identities and confrontational interviews. The resistance of doctors and individual patient groups has been both before and after the program, but two press committee cases have been decided this year without criticism of TV 2. Moreover, a Danish clinic this year has been sanctioned because of the disclosures in the documentary.<br><br>The idea for the program emerged after several patients approached the editorial staff. They were frustrated about that Danish doctors would not treat them with antibiotics, even though they had been analyzed their blood at recognized laboratories in Germany, and doctors had found an active borrelia infection in the blood.

This is mainly due to the fact that most people felt that they were afflicted by Danish doctors when they showed up the blood test results. Common to the patients is that they experience bad symptoms like Danish doctors either could not diagnose or even had doctors made a diagnosis but could not offer a treatment satisfactory to the patient.<br><br>The journalists conducted a large number of background interviews and the picture clearly showed that the vast majority of Danish patients had their blood analyzed and thus been diagnosed with Borrelia infection in the laboratories BCA Clinic or Armin Labs in Augsburg. The actual treatment of the patients in the private doctors were based on long-lasting and powerful antibiotic treatment as well as several other and more alternative therapies. The patients had often used many thousands of dollars alone on the diagnosis and the treatment was quickly more expensive. One of the most expensive examples was about DKK 500,000 as a former professional soccer player had paid in the hope of getting well, but it was in vain. The journalists interviewed his widow to the TV 2 News, the day the documentary was sent.<br><br>Among the many cases, the journalists asked three of them whether they would participate in a program that was supposed to examine what was up and down with the private doctors' diagnoses. One was an older man, as in years had had symptoms that could not be treated. He had spent about 250,000 on diagnosis and treatment by foreign doctors. The other was a 3-year-old girl who had been given diagnosed by Armin Labs and had been recommended treatment by a doctor in Cologne. The third was a new baked mother, who had just been diagnosed with ALS by Danish doctors - a disease that is incurable and lethal. She had been diagnosed with Borrelia at the BCA Clinic and a promise of healing.<br><br>Journalists Bech and Alstrup from TV 2 chose to focus on the diagnosis itself. What would happen if you did five healthy patients send blood to the German laboratories? If they all came back negative for Borrelia, so the method would be worth investigating and comparing with the Danish.
