Columbia University seeks treatment ideas for a future Lyme study.

thanks Rainy - interesting group there - I will post a few ideas

a few that come to mind based on our recent threads/ discussions

testing - via hair microscopy
immunomodulatory treatment - using ivermectin / others
pulsing antibiotics - trials to determine which drugs work best when pulsed - and what pulsing cycles

added another based on the recent paper showing Bartonella produces chemicals that activate mammalian VEGF receptors - which could be the basis for a highly sensitive test - as it is an independent approach that avoids the the v low cell counts in human blood once chronic - and the lack of serological response in many patients.

Thank you Garzie, even more great ideas!
I'm going to submit my last idea right now.

i think its a healthy sign that they are outsourcing some of the creative process to the general public, rather than believing only academics have good ideas.

i hope they also communicate the outcome of the experiment and which ideas they shortlist and why, to the stakeholders.
