Re: Bradford - Bradford Research Institute

[Guest guest]

I don't have memory of this person, but I am familiar with most of

what he says. Bismuth is quite toxic, so I am not sure how they are

making it non-toxic. Artemesia does work, but I have seen too many

postings of it causing liver problems. They have resolved upon

stopping the Artemesia, but its still scarey since it needs to be

used long-term, and short-term use can cause liver problems. I find

it very interesting of the mention that one's immune system may not

be able to detect the difference between the lyme and their own

body. This is often referred to as self and non-self. One's immune

system is suppose to detect what is self from things that are non-

self. I don't remember reading this in relation to lyme before. I

have read it in relation to wheat and measles and German measles. I

just thought our bodies were attacking our own cells to get to the

lyme which is living inside of our cells.

I have heard about the fancy blood test he mentions, but the problem

is that lyme likes to live inside of cells, and is not readily found

in blood, thus the reason this test falls short. I mean when you

test only a few drops of blood, what are the odds of it being in

there? I think biopsies of joint fluid should be more reliable, but

then I hear they also have a low reliability. I wish this testing

could be figured out. Right now, Igenex still seems to be the way to

go. I also read a posting that said the owner/operator of the

Florida Lab said that his test is not very reliable for those who

have had lyme for several years. I wonder why that would be?
