You, of course, Bryan, are one of these people..... but here is what is so horrific about lyme and co-infections......

It's the unknown that sucks and....

We are always hoping that maybe this week one person will have uncovered knowledge from their llmd or from reading medical literature......

Something different.....a new protocol for acute onset - for chronic.

You are like the rest of us, Bryan, hoping to hear just that right thing that can help your friend.

I know that weeks from now I can ask this same question and get responses from this community....new members/old members.

I can say: "Help!"

So thanks for posting/seeking Bryan.

I bought your book and I read it. I found it very well written, useful, and even inspiring. Good work!

In fact, I was in the process of setting up a live blood and visible spirochete experiment with a "micro Doug coil" surrounding the specimen when I stumbled on that fascinating "keet lethal" interaction between penicillin and artemisinin.

As you noted in your book the tendancy for beta lactams to drive Bb into cysts is undesireable and interferes with Rife treatment... but in this case it killed them in the process of converting to cysts. So, since causing dead Bb was my objective in the first place I have been pursuing that angle.

I still intend to get back to some testing of just what Rife can and cannot do when time permits. The PCN / Artemisinin combo seems to have little effect on SMALL Bb that are still in spirochette form unless the dose is very high. It is lethal to the more mature ones that are ready to replicate, though.

The two techniques together may well turn out to be very synergistic. Hopefully high priced microscope objectives and strong magnetic fields are compatible!

As was mentioned, everyone hangs out here hoping to find out about something that works better... but often when someone really does find something the reaction is suspicion and ridicule.

In an indirect way your book has already helped myself, my wife, some family members, and several friends with lyme to actually be feeling better and have hope of eventual recovery... And we haven't even had the opportunity to actually experiment with the rife stuff yet!

Keep up the good work and don't let anyone discourage you. Your efforts are appreciated.

Your question... if it were me or mine... I would be hitting the antibiotics hard, no questions asked. Even if the only ones I could get my hands on were labeled 'BirdCycline" or something like that!

Doxycycline is a good choice considering the co-infections. Even if it didn't stop Lyme it might prevent Ehrlichia on top of the Lyme.

On the other hand evidence is mounting that so much of the population is already infected and doesn't know it yet that it may be a little late to worry about ticks and prevention.

Still, I would be getting some ABX and not wasting time.
