Any Lymies out there?

[Lt.Del]

It happens all the time.  Lupus, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, Bell's Palsy, Reumatoid arthritis, depression, the list associated with untreated Lyme goes on and on and on.  The good news, is that some things are reversible.  It would do him good to contact a LLMD, a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor.  I have a few names if interested.  The problem is health insurance may not cover the visits/meds.  They won't acknowledge that it is associated with uncorrected Lyme. 
Look at the videos and literature I linked to from  my hikerMania.com website.  If he starts getting treated for chronic lyme, he may see many negative symptoms associated with Lyme (nervous system, etc..) get better.   I am still having fatigue problems and muscle aches and it makes me furious my doc wanted to say it was just a virus.

Some Parkinson's research....
from:

"Lyme Disease was initially regarded as an uncommon illness caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb). The disease transmission was thought to be solely by the bite from a tick infected with this spirochete. The Bb spirochete is able to burrow into tendons, muscle cells, ligaments, and directly into organs. A classic bulls-eye rash is often visible in the early stage of the illness. Later in the illness the disease can afflict the heart, nervous system, joints and other organs. It is now realized that the disease can mimic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, Bell's Palsy, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, neuritis, psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia, chronic fatigue, heart failure, angina, irregular heart rhythms, fibromyalgia, dermatitis, autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma and lupus, eye inflammatory reactions, sudden deafness, SIDS, ADD and hyperactivity, chronic pain and many other conditions.....

Dr. Joanne Whitaker relates that nearly every patient with Parkinson's Disease (PD) has tested positive for Bb. Dr. Louis Romero reports that 3 patients with PD are 99% better after TAO-free cat's claw (Uncaria tomentosa) therapy. When Dr. Mattman cultured 25 patients with fibromyalgia all subjects had positive cultures for the CWD Bb. which causes LD. She relates that Bb can be found in tears and could thus easily appear on the hands where touching could spread LD. Several families are now documented where nearly every family member is infected. How sick the individual patient becomes probably relates to their initial spirochete dose, immune system, detoxification capability and stress levels."

I have doctors' names who specialize in Lyme in MD, give me a PM and I'll send you the names: one is in Rockville, one in Towson, one in Baltimore, one in Waldorf.

Looks really promising

  wow, you have done your research.  I am glad you convinced your doctor to not just give up, and dang glad we don't have universal health care.  We don't have many tic's in California, but now I will be looking out for sure.  Thank you for the info and hope everything works out, best wishes.        Tom

thanks Tom
And yes, Frogman, Johns Hopkins is one of the primary researchers on Parkinson's.  Which leads to another point.  The Bayh-Dole Act of 1980.  This act pushed by Bob Dole and Birch Bayh in 1980 made it so that universities could profit from their research.  What is wrong with that?  This:  The gov't, your tax money and mine finances in grants a large majority of medical research for universities.  Bayh-Dole said that the gov't is tired of patenting the research and information uncovered--too much work.  So, the Act was passed to allow universities to profit from the research we pay for and they don't have to make it public, for fear of losing their vested interest.  

That's right, we pay for their research, they don't have to publicize what they find out about diseases and such so info is not shared for fear of them giving out their trade secrets. They'd rather hang on to it to see what the info is worth to a pharmaceutical company in drug manufacturing after decades of preparation.  
They don't share their info of important findings.

So, this happened in 1980.  When was Lyme first discovered?  1981.  Why do we not know a lot about Lyme?  Because these researchers do not share information...they patent the info for future  possible profits.  
Thanks Bob Dole.

Got my latest blood tests back a few days ago.  I am now negative on all phases of the Western Blot test.  Success!  The little flagella protozoans are showing wiped out--or they are hiding very well now since my antibiotic treatment, waiting to come out and play when the coast is clear.  The western blot  measures one's antibodies and what they are fighting.  Right now I am clear.  However, being only 60% reliable, many have tested negative on the western blot only to have symptom reappear a year later.  But, that is the best test technology offers presently. So, the results are better than last month.

   Great job sgtdel,  we are all pulling for ya..... Tom

[Lt.Del]

thanks Tom.  I am symptom free.  According to my research, If I remain so for about a year, I think I will be considered 'out of the woods', pardon the pun. 

[bake74]

     Well it's great to hear someone is getting better than worse, I myself just got home from surgery, I put it off and couldn't wait no more, so now I get some time off.... Tom

[Lt.Del]

Now the easy part, rest and recuperate.  Hope all goes well.

Glad to hear the results!
