C diff was an issue in 2008 which I'm no longer taking antibiotics for lyme.
My LLMD who is an ART Dr. tested my CD 57 which is 24. In 2006, my CD 57 was 27.
ART Dr. said the only thing he comes up with is virus/bacteria.
4 years ago my LLMD at the time said I had Chylamydia pneumoine.
Could the Chylamdia Pneumoine be causing the low CD57 or does this mean I still have active infection?
I've been using mostly rife to treat this awful disease.

The last ILADS conference had a talk on chylamydia pneumonia, I remember hearing the CD on it, thinking this can be an important problem for some. Whether it alone could lower CD57, gosh, who knows.

Yes I agree. Hopefully others will know.

Mine has been 30-40 since 06 and has suddenly shot to 80 unexpectedly. I think my immune system may be gaining some ground finally...a little over 3 mos. into the Cowden protocol...
I would just keep at it, tickalert. Just make sure you're on an adequate treatment protocol...

I have improved a lot, but last few months, very little improvement, like I'm stuck. We had been treating for lyme and bartonella, as that is what the symptom picture looks like. The symptoms don't look at all like babesia is there, but, because I seemed stuck, doc said let's stop what you're taking and switch to babesia treatment. Still awaiting the abx, but the herbs I've started for it confirm he was right.
So, looking for more coinfections to treat is another idea to consider for your situation.
