These seemed to keep repeating stationary phase-? Does this mean a no growth period? Could someone of science please clarify? From link: "carvacrol could be one of the most active ingredients in...
mpost~The info is good so please do not take my concerns to be at odds with worthwhile research. It's just that these wonderful research places keep popping up with so many patients "NOW" excited...
Just to note, in the Huffington article, is a big picture Dr Ember involved in this exciting persistence study (She has worked on several borrelia persistence published studies). This scientist shown...
As P mentioned, dehydration is a big thing, especially with a young child. If you haven't already, something like Pedialyte is a good idea. And perhaps to be safe you should phone the on-call doctor?...
Some good info--until the commercial ad. SOOO tired of these redic "do my plan" & you will be "cured." Baahhh. On a somewhat relative note, heard an interesting discussion re virus & bacteria. Did...
Short & sweet! LOVE this man! Thank you, Girlie for posting! :)...
Congrats to you GH & your wife for instilling a thirst for knowledge. We feel your beaming pride & share in it! And who knows, maybe your daughter can help in the LD fight? (You & she are already...
SS~I haven't been on here in awhile (I feel like that Broke Back Mountain movie line: "I just can't quit you," Healingwell!). I haven't been through, but a few threads, but glanced about & saw yours...

I wrote a long post & it blipped out so I am going to make this short & to the point. I did know someone up close & personal diagnosed with osteomyelitis, following an extracted tooth infection,...
Yes, Dr J has a good rep, & hopefully you can do some consults by phone? It really is a crazy roller coaster. Anyway, just quick (((hugs))) & best to you & family!!...
It's been so long since I've been on here, meaning to tune in. And doubly weird, too, as I was just reading some short travel stories of Greece--today's ,was on Rhodes! -And I was thinking of my...
Good question! Aren't plaques & biofilms a byproduct of all these buggers? And I believe they can be in the body, restricting blood flow to brain, but not in the brain itself for many people. How...
Errrrr.... Plausible deniability. :mad: :skull: :mad:...
They apparently go together--chicken or egg (there's a pun in there somewhere, as it is from the chicken pox/shingles, etc family). I had off the charts EBV readings at one time & when that went on...
IHL~Strange as I was just thinking of you. It's good you are writing, venting, sharing. I agree so with those who try to placate with the "be positive" mentality, when you would never say that to...
Hadn't read this CO one, but for others not aware, USAToday has done a whole series on biolab mishaps that really does not seem to alarm the public. Even here, if weaponized germs are mentioned, it...
1st round of this nightmare, it was thought to be a case of EBV going on for too long (until other reasons were discovered). During this time, I had a long term low grade fever-1 whole year. For me,...
If the bumps have a line & stay, sounds like perhaps bug bites. But the doc eval is well advised. I have to share, as it is sooo frustrating when you feel progress & then something -wham- comes at...
Wondering how the Dapsone patients are coping?...
One more thing if you've not already covered. Hormone/estrogen testing. Abx seems to effect estrogen. Hang in there! (((hugs)))...
Most here have been to all the doctors you listed & more! And have "POTS" or potsy-like Symptoms. You mention Fibro & MS--those labels are also clinically diagnosed with a checklist--as if a...

Great. Should have figured the IDSA/CDC/Bay Area Lyme good ol boyz network would reign supreme. But can't a real from the trenches LD advocate with great writing skills reach out to them & try? Or...
I literally feel your struggle. No one can understand, unless going thru this living hell. In that you have had bits of feeling ok, that is encouraging. I know it is probably the last thing you have...
Artemix~I think now that the Zucks have a baby, LD & co has been explored. With Mom Zuck, an MD, I am hoping they are on the pulse of things. But I was wondering if LD advocates have reached out to...
Yup, H Mommy~can echo all including the electrical jolts & yawning to get a deeper breath (nvr did advise doc on THAT one & thought I was the only one who described it this way!). And re mental going...
njfillet (u sure sound like you have been filleted! Lots of folks here with your symptoms). Sadly, as you have probably read, testing is not good, especially the standard labs. IMO, I wouldn't even...

There is so much we don't know & medicine does need to be an exploratory quest to find out what causes things. Barring being dropped on your head or such :eyes: your symptoms could very well stack up...
Girlie~I know-lol! And I will be heretofore referring to it as "antifingles" (much more cheery sounding than fungal!). Thx for your update. And thx, Trav. You are a dear one in helping IHL - & SO...
Some patients may be helped with 1 abx @ a time -I know this is contrary to what most forum advise. But this doc letting you lose without continuing any abx-baaah! Maybe there is an undertow exerting...
IHL~Whew-a lot to pour over! The main point I've always had with the semantics is the denial with the powers that be...It seems easier to label whatever is plaguing the body with a "post" or later...

Nvr heard of ths, tho the name sounds like it would be great, as cytokine s*i*tstorm does happen with LD sufferers. I do know that when adding anything to go slow. Cucurcimin was one for me I thought...
Applying zen when you are hit with the flu or an infected tooth ache (the body over) is not exactly realistic. Folks come here to vent, as others outside of this arena do not understand. But if you...

Interesting that GWB & Clinton both had "heart disease." There is a root reason(s) for these diseases (what causes the plaque-nay, not just diet/genetics). Protozoa is said to do this in various...
I know you were to begin the NEW ANTI-fungal & wondering how you are doin on it?...
Consciousness? This is a govt study, "sponsored" by NIH who throughout their study description give reference to CDC/IDSA. That right there, to some, might make the study flawed before even saying...
