It's the article I put on after getting it from lyme-aid

and that you re-posted to lyme-aid and we had a good laugh about it!.

Did you manage to read it, with all the new and exciting stuff that has been

happening to you?

Here is the link again, just in case:

Yes, this would seem logical, but I'm sure there are complicating factors,

like OTHER bugs which could also play a part and become resistant on this

regimen. So we have to be aware of this (one more thing to be aware of, I

guess!)

Christie, it's all very involved, I have printed the article mentioned above

and I have studied it in details, if you have the time/energy you could do

the same and it will answer some of your questions re " all them d. bugs " .

Well, I know it always improved me way beyond any other abx, but as I never

seem to have any positive serologies on anything bacterial (except Jadin's

rickettsia tests), I have always worked by inferring what might be at play.

Many people do, and that's the beauty of these lists, I am constantly

learning lots and getting new perspectives on things. Pity our docs are not

as interested in medicine as we are!

You don't become resistant, the bugs do, so the trick is to erradicate them

before they mutate and become resistant or before the resistant strains take

over. It seems that spirochetes might have another prefered system of

defense: changing their shape to evade detection and then reappearing once

all danger has passed.
