Here is the excerpt from the article I found. I was not able to find any sort of published work on the theory. Could be worth while looking into. Curious if anyone has a good LLMD to run this by, interested in their thoughts.
"Sophia Chow: Silver Medal in Health and Medicine for "PDE-4 Inhibitor-Assisted Antibiotic Suppression of Borrelia Biofilm Growth for Treatment of Chronic Lyme." In her research, Sophia discovered that PDE-4 inhibitors, which are drugs that are commonly used to treat asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and inflammatory conditions, are effective when combined with antibiotics, to effectively treat Chronic Lyme disease. Chronic Lyme is otherwise difficult to treat, since the responsible organism, Borrelia, forms a biofilm, or what is analogous to a protective turtle shell, around those parts of the organism that can be treated with antibiotics. Sophia found that PDE-4 inhibitors, in combination with common antibiotics, can potentially reduce Borrelia biofilm growth by 96%, thus eradicating the bacteria that causes Lyme in someone with the chronic condition."
