Does anyone have a link to the video of Dr. Fallon's lecture he gave last night at Our Lady of Lourdes High School? I saw the news clip in the Poughkeepsie Journal but would like to see the entire lecture.
Thanks!!!!

has an inhibitory effect on the growth of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans that is
dependent on the pH of the medium.
At the low pH value of the vagina, FS is growth inhibitory at low and at high concentrations, while at intermediate concentrations (1–10 mM), it has no inhibitory effect.
Examination of the effect of the common antifungal drug fluconazole in combination with FS
demonstrates drug interactions in the low concentration range.
Determination of intracellular stress and the activity of the
FS target enzyme HMG-CoA reductase
confirm our hypothesis that in the intermediate dose range adjustments to the sterol biosynthesis pathway can compensate for the action of FS.
We conclude that the pH dependent uptake of FS across yeast membranes might make FS combination therapy
an attractive possibility for treatment of vaginal C. albicans infections.
Antibiotic use (specific ones) and all other drugs that raise glucose levels (many) can -> Candida overgrowth and potential mutated drug resistant forms.
Candida infection AND Bb infection...not so good.
Post script: Prolactin, given to mice engineered to mimic MS, spontaneously restored the myelin sheath. AND in mice with MS...berberine worked too.
The VCO approach to clear Candida from the brains of AD patients involves not only VCO, but also Omega 3's from fish oil (which contains vitamin E to protect DHA and EPA from being oxidized) AND cod liver oil. Yuck. It takes too long to work, IMO.

These are the people doing xenodiagnostic testing for persistent Lyme. It's an on-going study.
Adriana Marques, M.D. of NIH The other person was at Tufts, but couldn't catch the name, it sounded like Lindon Yu or something like that.
I'd be very cautious though. The doctor later says that the larval ticks they use don't have borrelia burgdorfer, but may have borrelia miyamotoi. Sounds like a way to get infected.

Dr. Fallon mentions in the video that Dr. Younger at NYU is doing IVIG treatments. However, when I go to the "rate a doctor" website he has horrible reviews. So, I'm someone who would like to try IVIG but am reticent to do so after I read the comments about him. Anyone know anything about him?

Never heard that he accomplished much for lyme. In truth not sure what Fallon is doing either. Sure, he's doing research but to what end? He's been doing it for years.

Love the cartoons Judie (lol)!
Ditto what Abxnomore said.

IVIG is insanely expensive. I think your labs need to prove that you are immune deficient for insurance to cover it. Some people with Lyme, including myself, are immune deficient and qualify for IVIG. Maybe you should consider having some immune function testing done.

In around 2009, Fallon did a study presumably trying to show lab results for Lyme are inconsistent. Its now been 5 years and this is a pretty simple study. The blurb below was posted before 2011 so the paper has been in "preparing for publication" for at least 3 years.
That doesn't say much for his group even though they seem to be trying. I suspect the paper is hung up in peer review being blocked.
Principal Investigator: Brian Fallon, MD Goals: to determine whether Lyme Specialty Labs were better able to identify patients with CLD from non-Lyme controls and to determine which tests had the best sensitivity/specificity balance Design: Serum was drawn from the two groups of participants. Serum from each patient was sent to 4 labs (1 University Based Lyme Lab, 2 Private labs with a Lyme Specialty, and 1 National Commercial Lab). Samples were tests for ELISA, C6 ELISA, IgM Western blot, IgG Western blot. When available, both the CDC and the lab’s own internal criteria were used for blot interpretation. Funding: Time for Lyme, Inc. Status: Study closed for enrollment. Data collection and analyses are completed. Paper is being prepared for publication.

I actually had a consult with him many years ago. He asked me what was holding me back and I gave him a long list of typical neuro lyme symptoms. He suggested I try Ritalin and I never went back,nor did I take the Ritalin. It was time and money wasted. It took another three years before I made real headway.

Abx. ONLY effective if a very specific subset of HDL-DR4 gene-type is NOT at play - impacting - antibiotic resistance.
Otherwise, those with that very specific gene type are RESISTANT to ALL abx. to CLEAR Bb.
See specifics under new "Minocycline" post.
lpkayak ...glutathione requires PLP/P5P (active form of B6) and an enzyme called CBS to -> taurine (lowers cholesterol) + glutathione (GSH) + sulfate in the "transsulfuration" pathway to lower (toxic) homocysteine.

I wasn't antibiotic resistant. This was over 14 years ago. He just didn't have good advice for me. I've been well since 2003.

Abxnomore..please read my edited post above.
Humor...when my sis was greatly suffering (steroids prior to abx - misdiagnosed - Bb loved it!), a friend gave her a floral arrangement with limes in it.
She took it as intended and laughed a lot.
Humor is good. It is healing. It is a release from worry.
