You motivated to go read the abstract. What surprised me was this:
"Doxycycline reduced spirochetal structures ∼90% but increased the number of round body forms about twofold."
Wouldn't this mean that by taking doxy you are essentially setting yourself up for chronic lyme?
I have suspected this to be true also. I was treated with doxy within 24 hours of the time I found the bullseye rash, and 25 years later I still have chronic lyme.
The IDSA has acted extremely irresponsibly regarding this organism. They jumped to conclusions about
treatment when they knew next to nothing about
the lifecycle of borrelia burgdorferi. This is the height of either irresponsible ignorance or malice--- or both. The reason why I say malice is because the United States government has a long and sad history of researching spirochaetal diseases as biological weapons, the most recent being the horrific Guatemala syphilis experiments, which were an extension of the abominable and illegal Tuskeegee experiments. It's quite possible (although difficult to prove) that the newer IDSA board members are being paid suitcases of cash for their acquiescence to the fraudulent party line regarding the spirochete known as Lyme. Apparently the going rate for silence in the medical establishment is $600,000 cash in a suitcase delivered to a hotel room. Most people do not refuse a suitcase stuffed with $600,000. It would be interesting to see what types of houses these IDSA board members live in--- and what cars they drive.
