Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi Dolores, Sheesh, Mike and you have been through the wars, eh??? What troopers you both are!!! You're right, there is much to be learned about these shape-shifting organisms, for sure. I think what we have known and accepted about many pathogens is now very much in question. Brown knew his young rheumatic fever patients were still sick in spite of negative strep throat swabs. These organisms become quickly walled off by the immune system and persist because of their ability to cleverly elude the immune system. Lyme is thought to have untold numbers of permutations of its outer surface proteins, so that by the time the immune system launches an attack, it's aborted, because the infection can't be found. It also has an efflux pump, which literally pumps out bacteriostatics from its inner workings! Was it you who asked about cyst-busting medications, Dolores? So sorry.... I'm trying to keep up here with posts all over the place. If so, yes, where spirochetes exist, cyst-busting medication should also be employed...including meds such as flagyl or plaquenil. Essentially, AP alone will not cut Lyme, because antibiotics (bacteriocidal or bacteriostatic) alone cannot combat its many forms. Interestingly, Dr S, down in TN/GA employs a combo of mino, flagyl and nystatin or diflucan. When I showed this protocol to my Lyme doc, he commented that it was very much like a Lyme protocol. Glad to hear you're on the up and up, Dolores!!!! You'll be back on track in no time!! Peace, Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
