Lyme has three known forms of existence in mammals: 1) spirochete reproductive form and susceptible to a number of antibiotics (vitro/vivo) 2) round body "starvation forms" which are resistant to most antibiotics (vitro/

I agree. Everyone is unique due to their genetic expression from a lifetime of immune function and response. There is limited data and close to zero statistical confidence for the human population about what constitutes effective antibody l

How about the French pharmaceutical company that shelved their vaccine before GlaxoSmithKline's? I will try and find the article, but as I remember it, their vaccine worked on the OSPa protein and had a number of proven and harmful sid

The testing and treatment of tick borne pathogens is a fine line between politics, science and empathy is because many people have been treated poorly by the medical industry. The majority of the symptoms are ignored by physicians or misdia

Try to drive less, plant more, look for renewable electricity (CleanChoice or personal solar if possible), and vote the corrupt political shitheads out of office :-)

Treatment should be customized for each individual. It's quite possible she has more than Lyme. Bartonella, Babesia, and Erlichia are quite common. Mold and metals can also play a role in immune suppression, depending on the HLA geneti

There are a number of pathogens in some blood and plasma donations that are usually not screened. Babesia, a parasite similar to malaria but less severe, has been passed along by blood donors. The FDA did approve something in the middle of

It helps draw more toxins out as the fat is metabolized. Trying to increase glutathione levels is helpful for removing toxins from the body. There are a number of tests like the Ion Panel Test and Mycotoxin tests that require preparation li

Fasting, water or dry, has been quite beneficial for me. Nothing longer than 48 hours yet.

The main priority of these medical and genetic companies is to make money. Safety, ethics and privacy are secondary until they effect the profit. It seems increasingly apparent that public funding and open source efforts are required to adv

Fasting and duration seems to be an individual discovery, until more scientific data measurements about amino acids, genetics, immune state, glycogen levels, etc are established. I've water fasted over 50 times in the 15 months ranging

Blood letting does work for some conditions like "hemochromatosis", in many cases a result of genetics + iron intake. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_overload

Perhaps using fees from all combustion products (gas, diesel, natural gas, heating oil, coal, etc), to directly fund prairie, forests, gardens, etc will immediately begin reducing CO2 and help increase biodiversity which we are also highly

The best treatment for Lyme is a balanced immune system. Some people can be treated by a single course of Doxycycline, most relapse after 6 months and CDC incorrectly indicates that the cause is unknown. It's still Lyme. 2 of the 3 Lym

The vaccine caused a number of issues. Given the nature of the bacteria, it's DNA and multiple forms, two of which are resistant to antibiotics (biofilm, round body-starvation form), it is not too feasible to develop a vaccine. It'
