MS and Lyme

hey guys,

So my cousin called me who also has Lyme and co... She asked me if their are any studies or articles that link MS to Lyme disease. She has a friend recently diagnosed with MS and wants her to look deeper so she is asking for articles to send her... Anyone here have any they can post? Thank you!!

Hi, physedgirl09:

If you and/or your cousin have not looked into some of the work of Garth L. Nicolson, PhD, he speaks and writes about chronic infections being implicated in a variety of conditions like Lyme Disease, ALS, MS, Lupus, and others.

Rheumatoid Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Scleroderma and other Autoimmune and Degenerative Diseases

It's not the greatest website, with regard to visual appeal and navigation, but if you spend some time clicking-around, you may find stuff that's useful -- or, that might direct you to other resources.

Also...

Episode #63: Mycoplasma with Dr. Garth Nicolson, PhD

Finally, play around with Google, searching for terms like:

"Garth Nicolson" AND "MS"
"Garth Nicolson" AND "Multiple Sclerosis"
"Garth Nicolson" AND "Lyme"
"Garth Nicolson" AND "Autoimmune"
"Garth Nicolson" AND "Podcast"
"Garth Nicolson" AND "Interview"

Using the quotes and the boolean operator AND should help return more relevant searches.

I wish you, your cousin, and your cousin's friend much luck.

Sincerely,
Dude

Researchers that are worth looking at: Gabriel Steiner (one of the first to connect MS and spirochetes, there were other German researchers as well who were working on this in the 40s and 50s), Lida Mattman, Vincent Marshall. I'll have to dig up the studies...

One guy who has written quite a bit on this subject is Thomas Grier. Here are some notes on a talk he gave some time back: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2010/08/29/lyme-on-the-brain-by-tom-grier-part-3-b-lecture-notes/
