Every one of us come with a different footprint, so to speak. I'm not even sure identical twins would have identical organ function, inner bacteria, metabolism, although the latter would be the closest.
So very many variables go onto the workings of the 'machine' inside of us, including the particulars and strengths of what we are exposed to.
Someone used the phrase earlier, don't look a gift horse in the mouth, just count your blessings and keep on with what you're doing.
It's awesome he's doing so well, maybe that will give a morale boost to everyone else, that they are not far behind.

I'm an identical twin and we have nowhere near the same metabolism :p

That's like asking why I managed to survive 40 years with my infections - without serious heart issues, or being completely dependent on a wheel chair for many years, and other questions. Sometimes the answers are so buried, that it would take a ton of expensive and extensive testing to find the answer.
Fortunately, he seems to have gotten what his body needed to heal!! Congratulations on that!

My sons last few symptoms fully resolved in a month by eliminating wheat and dairy which he had been struggling to give up as a middle schooler.
He has been in remission ever since after several years of antibiotics, with no herbs for maintenance etc..
Yes, we are all different and some kids really bounce back without a lot of disruption and long term treatment needed.

He is a little warrior
Immune system of each person is different, his immune system was better at fighting with Borrelia. It depends on genes and environment.

I really still think that it's all very trial and error. It's our genetic coding. When we start treating we really don't know which methods are really at a cellular level doing us the greatest good or the greatest harm. I think sometimes when we claim that such and such helped us the most, it may be the synergy of things OR the lack of. Sometimes we can do too much. Our bodies can heal if we give it the right things. For some, one thing may be it too much, for another it may be not enough, and finally for others, it's just right. Tweaking, changing, removing, adding, tweaking....and so it goes.
Hmmm....sounds like the 3 bears (lol).
