The frequency of some of these is flawed. Lymph node symptoms are only about 1-3%, and it can go away despite ongoing infection. The reporting that mental symptoms are rare is wrong. I published some in 2007, and in recent years, Breitschwerdt, Maggi, and their team and associates have published extensive psychiatric, neuropsychology, and neurology

The strongest direct persistence evidence is for peptidoglycan in human Lyme arthritis, cartilage-associated antigens in treated mice, and DNA/mRNA persistence after lethal ceftriaxone exposure in vitro. Evidence Key H = human evidence; M = mammal/animal; V = in vitro. Persistence: ★★★ direct post-treatment/post-killing evidence; ★★ suggestive/indirect; ★ component established but persistence itself unproven. # Particle

In 100% of my decades of Morgellons patients I have found multiple infections. Never one type. These all have impact on the skin and head tissues. And they are in thousands of miles of brain vessels. Sadly, most doctors have a full waiting room and a rapid mill. The problem this creates is Morgellons patients

I have repeatedly tried to warn Lyme-literate healers that antibody tests are often negative without treatment. The treatment kills Bartonella, Babesia, and Lyme so you are not undertreated years, and get ill. Since almost all our patients have been previously treated with Lyme-literate doctors it is sad to see so many patients wasting time, money,

A newly published study in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology puts concrete data behind a long recognized problem in Lyme disease care. The research, supported by the Bay Area Lyme Foundation and based on data from the Lyme Disease Biobank, found that FDA-cleared testing methods miss between 64 and 78 percent of early Lyme cases.

Below is a 50-item Borrelia debris / inflammatory-particle master list. I am separating two different scientific questions: A. Has the material actually been shown to persist after Borrelia loses viability or after antibiotic treatment? B. Is the molecule a Borrelia component capable of provoking inflammation if released as debris? Only a subset has strong direct

Good evidence shows that components of Borrelia burgdorferi can remain detectable after organisms have been killed or rendered nonviable, but the evidence is much stronger for some components than others. Importantly, detecting these materials does not by itself demonstrate persistent viable infection. Borrelia-Derived Material That May Remain After Bacterial Death # Borrelia Material Evidence for
