Lyme Biofilm

At the end of UNDER OUR SKIN, Dr. Alan MacDonald presented a revolutionary new hypothesis that Lyme bacteria are able to shroud their colonies with protective biofilms and this may explain why these pathogens can be so difficult to eradicate with short courses of antibiotics. [1]

His collaborator, Eva Sapi, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biology and Environmental Science at the University of New Haven, is exploring why and how these biofilms form, in hopes of developing more effective treatments for chronic Lyme sufferers.

The green fragments on the screen are DNA from Borrelia burgdorferi strain B31, fluorescently tagged to glow under the special illumination of a dark field microscope.

Drink Listerene people - it is a cheap cure.

Wow this is great, if these people could just do tests to see if things like MMS or Salt/C are effective on biofilms and post the results we might actually be able to find a silver bullet finally.

Yeah my lyme doc does too. It only makes sense. As soon as the spirochetes are confronted with any threat they turn into cystic form. So it only makes sense that we'd all have to treat for that. I think it's why lyme is chronic. Just mainstream docs don't think we know and understand this so they just continue to deny Lyme.

@whereisthekarma

we have 1 Dr. in our area that strictly treats Lyme with the concept that biofilm is in all of us (us being Lyme patients)

I am in Sterling, VA

[whereisthekarma]

yeah, I keep posting it on my facebook page, lots of lymies circulating good info on there...

[samuel2009]

copy the link and pass it around in E-mails... it will get to them eventually

[splitsilly]

Sorry, but they will believe it when FACTS are forced down everyone throat! You can't argue FACTS!! Just pass this along and keep SPREADING THE WORD!

[EndTimeHealerOfLight]

They wouldn't care even if they did. As long as the official command structure dictates that chronic Lyme disease is a crazy persons idea the majority of doctors are going to believe it.

[whereisthekarma]

How can we make sure Drs see this?
