This study looks at a very unique substance to detect brain infection by Lyme. The CDC reported that 100% of untreated Lyme patients have this fat-loving drilling infection in their brain in 14 days. On my blog we list 32 single-spaced top journal articles on Lyme’s neurology and psychiatry effects. link here: https://www.personalconsult.com/the-impact-of-lyme-disease-on-the-brain-and-nervous-system/ These researchers look at  studies on cerebrospinal fluid and

I appreciate these researchers going through a vast number of studies to start more awareness of this infection in asia: 18 studies included… 11,498 people in the meta-analysis.

BOLD IS BY J. SCHALLER, MD Previous studies have shown that the Lyme spirochete could survive antibiotic therapy in monkeys and humans. In the present study, researchers analyzed 56 studies from the medical literature. In 10 animal studies and 25 human studies (see table below), Lyme spirochetes were able to survive antibiotic therapy as shown by culture, tissue microscopy and
