I am noticing that it seems pretty easy to detect babesia with certain microscopes and this has been done for awhile now.
Why does not the mainstream know about this???
What I have been reading lately all says that babesia lasts for months sometimes and also is only treated for a couple months and not only that there can be a
spontaneous recovery.
What do you all think???
Plus, does anyone know what that new book that just came out on Babesia is called and who wrote it???

I think it's just called Babesia.
I do NOT believe babs can go away on its own. No way. It may go into dormancy, but I doubt it will go away without treatment.
I don't know about the microscope issue. Most drs don't think babesia exists anywhere except in certain areas of Maryland or New York. [duh...idiots!]...so they're not even going to LOOK for it in anyone.

I have the Babesia book--very informative.
The full name is "The Diagnosis and Treatment of Babesia."
There are many different strains of Babesia, with different intensities, too.

From what I understand, you may be able to find Babesia in blood.
But if the infection is well-established, it may be stuck inside tissues and not circulating enough to be present in a random blood sample.
If found, it's quite distinctive to a trained microbiologist.

I was able to see Babesia and Bartonella in my blood. Babesia is a parasite of the red blood cell.
There's another thread going on here where Kelmo has posted a picture of her daughter's Babesia in the blood if you want to take a look...
Can't remember the name of the thread, I'll find out...

The thread is Kelmo's Daughter's Babesia Blood Smear.
