So more members who have had good results with the Disulfiram? I do agree with the way the different laboratories induce persisters. Zhang has the best method as far as my very limited knowledge of...
Going to look for ideas. http://lyme-basics.com/encyclopedia/ Here is what I've written so far. It is of course a big project to write about all those topics. Let me know about what you think of it....
On the website I have explicit explanations of the following infections: borrelia, bartonella, babesia and mycoplasma. I will write articles about RMSF, ehrlichia/anaplasma, tularemia and chlamydia...
Good idea (y)...
Hi folks, I was thinking about adding an encyclopedia with all Lyme related terms to my website. I would like to ask if you can think of terms that I've not already written down. If you could come up...
They used a agar plate with 10% horse blood or liquid Schaedler medium (?) to culture the Bartonella. We took 3 serial blood draws. 2 weeks for culturing and pcr tests for Bartonella. How it was...
I am sharing an article I have written with valuable information. This has nothing to do with spam. Here is the link again:...
Added! Thanks. This was the study I was missing with regards to the intracellular persistence. I knew Borrelia could hide inside neurons and glial cells but without the reference to back it up I...
I finished a new extensive article about chronic Lyme disease. This could be interesting to share with physicians who deny the very existence of persisting infection after treatment according to IDSA...
Azithromycine penetrates the brain but not the spinal fluid. Doxycycline penetrates the brain ánd the spinal fluid. Concentration of 100mg Doxy 2x daily creates 1mcg/ml after oral administration in...
It is very accurate. They don't do it because there is only one commercial lab in the US doing culture for Bartonella and without an isolate you can culture, you cannot perform susceptibility...
Okay I will need to clarify: I got cat scratch disease in 2009. Recovered partially in 2010. In 2012 got Lyme disease. Took 2 years to diagnose. Bartonella relapsed during Lyme infection. Lyme was...
4 people on this forum?...
Hello forum, I've been treated for Lyme and Bartonella in the past. Lyme treatment was succesfull but culture came back positive for Bartonella. They did an antibiotic susceptibility test and it...
My personal disease started with brainfog, fatigue, headache, depression and anxiety. It took 4 years before I developped joint swelling, acrodermatitis chronicum atrophicans and finally paranoia and...
Great insights. Better late than never....

These symptoms can be from Lyme and Bartonella. I'm not sure about the Babesia....
Probiotics will help to fix this over time. Also anti-fungal treatment, nac and enzymes will help....
That is painful. Do you mix them with Lidocaine? Also you know the CSF concentrations are lower when you take Ceftriaxon intramuscular...?...

Great! Good Bartonella treatment. :cool: :cool:...
Neuro-syphilis could present as ALS. Those patients improved with penicillin and corticosteroids. Currently Borrelia infection is associated with ALS. It is true ALS patients can improve on...
No adverse reactions but Buhner herbs did nothing for me. While improving very much on doxycycline, azithromycine and ceftriaxon IV antibiotics. After quiting those antibiotics I had a relapse and...
There are genuine scientists with big hearts at work to find solutions. They work together and are aware of their more 'conservative' and 'orthodox' colleagues. Lyme disease is just a very clear case...
http://lyme-basics.com/lyme-basics/lyme-worldwide/ Explaining why we cannot rely on Borrelia distribution data from research....
I cannot really comment on the best treatment. It depends on how ill you are from it and what other factors play a role. Some people get rid of it on their own. Dr. Mozayeni seems to be having...
Made an article about Bartonella co-infection. http://lyme-basics.com/lyme-basics/co-infection-bartonella/ Hope it is informative. You can share it on your social media with the share buttons on the...
Yes, it is crazy they only test 1-2 strains while in nature you could contract so many different ones... It is a strange co-infection and treatment isn't really straight forward. Hopefully people...
Hi guys, I wrote an article about Babesia. http://lyme-basics.com/lyme-basics/co-infection-babesia/ Hope it is helpful and useful. I've already had 3 patients on FB tell me they have continuing...
According to MyLymeData, out of 350 patients, less than 3% had success with stem cell treatment. Besides the low percentage of success, the cost price for such a treatment is between 3000-5000...
tinidazole is a cyst buster and is often prescribed by LLMD's. I wouldn't drop that one.[/quote] Tinidazole only works as a cyst drug on Borrelia. But Lewis already showed you cannot achieve MICs to...
Persistence is of course something different than resistance. Bartonella has no spores but it has genes that make it capable of shutting down its own metabolism. This is where rifampin and dapsone &...
https://academic.oup.com/jac/article/65/3/581/745492/Molecular-mechanisms-of-Bartonella-henselae (natural resistance to macrolides and fluoroquinolones) There is actually incredible amount of...
If you don't respond to these antibiotics you should look into other issues as well: Allergies/Diet Thyroid + Adrenals Gut health Babesia Bartonella can become resistant if you don't respond to...
Doctor M and Doctor Burrascano tell that it gets resistant. It does. I don't respond to azithro or doxy anymore when I did in the past. I have Bartonella because this has been tested recently trough...
Hi everybody, I wish I was in remission. I have treated Lyme sufficiently. I don't have joint pain anymore or the typical brainfog that accompanies Lyme. I also had problems with paranoia that is...
In most acute cases Bartonella is treated with shorter antibiotic treatments. In more chronic cases it can take up to 2-3 years on a combination therapy. Dr. Mozayeni writes that he thinks that...
I would treat for a little longer. If you get chronic Lyme you are in a bigger problem. I heard from a source that artemisinin 100mg 2x daily will help eradicate the persister-Borrelia that are not...
Sounds like Bart. I never recovered from that co-infection. I did not improve on herbs. Only on antibiotics. Hopefully you have more luck eradicating this persistent co-infection. It is my personal...
I've been treated with multiple rounds of doxycycline and azithromycine. Is not dangerous in most cases. Doxycycline is given to acne patients for up to 3 months. It is given to patients with Q-fever...
Hello, I am a Lyme patient from the Netherlands. Before I got Lyme disease I worked as an audio-engineer in recording studios. After the tickbite I got handicapped and house-bound by what supposed to...
