Routine Lyme medicines bounce off Lyme biofilms unless you use very strong treatments, which I outlined in 2014. Our Combatting Biofilms is still number one on the topic. But doctors have full waiting rooms, insurance that takes their time, and low reimbursement—hence, fast appointments.
They have no time to read many books in a year.
Dominico and fellow researchers offer these points of use:
- Borrelia burgdorferi, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia garinii are found in N. Aremica, Europe and Asia.
- Their infection affects multiple organ systems, including the skin, joints, and the nervous system.
-
Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB), which is highly present in the brain, is the most dangerous manifestation of Lyme disease, occurring in 10–15% of infected individuals.
[It might be more with better testing and literacy in signs of cognitive neurology reductions of ming function, which is rarely taought].
- Lyme can alter coagulation and fibrinolysis pathways and the immune response, reaching the central nervous system (CNS).
-
Even with the ISDA suggested treatment, it often isn’t started immediately. Persistent forms of LNB are relatively common, despite targeted antibiotic therapy.
[No one knows how many Lyme are killed by Doxy 200 mg/day and Amoxy/Augmentin].
[Since I evaluate “cures,” I find Bartonella, Babesia, and residue of Lyme or Tick-borne relapsing fever, though some do feel better with 2 weeks of antibiotics. But why are they never given with probiotics, like the ones I have used for 34 years?]
- …the reoccurrence of Lyme disease is associated with biofilm-like aggregates in B. burgdorferi, B. afzelii, and B. garinii, both in vitro [lab] and in vivo [mammal or human], allowing Borrelia spp. to resist to adverse environmental conditions.
- Indeed, the increased tolerance to antibiotics described in the persisting forms of Borrelia spp., is strongly reminiscent of biofilm growing bacteria, suggesting a possible role of biofilm aggregates in the development of the different manifestations of Lyme disease including LNB.
Link to Schaller & Mountjoy, Combatting Biofilms, which is a reference book, not a novel. The description:
BIOFILMS ARE A LEADING CAUSE OF SUFFERING, DISABILITY AND DEATH. They are the slime layer on bacteria and fungal infections protecting them from all routine treatments.
THE BEST SELLING BIOFILM BOOK IN THE WORLD! MANY SINUS, CANDIDA AND CYSTIC FIBROSIS SOLUTIONS.
This solutions book addresses over twenty areas in which biofilm infections harm everyone. The 38 plus solutions to about 25 disorders are clear, based on the best published research and almost all are ready for use now. This collection exists nowhere and cannot be found on the web.
No book has such a powerful research foundation, with vast clear images with a highly readable text that does not require a PhD, MD or master’s degree in pure science. You simply need an interest.
