So what's the general opinion on whether or not co-infections can morph into cyst form?

Well, babesia is a protozoan parasite. It can change shape but not into cyst form.
Bartonella doesn't change, from what I understand, and neither do any of the other common co-infections.
That doesn't mean they aren't hard to get rid of, and of course all these bacterium can form biofilms which are even harder to get rid of than the cyst form of Bb.

Ok that's what I was assuming. Even the pictures I've seen of Bart or Babs - doesn't look like they possess the ability to morph into cystic form (whereas spirochetes look like they can and obviously have been proven to)
I think if one relapses on co-infections it's probably because the medication/herbs didn't reach deep enough into the tissue to hit the pathogen.

And most of the coinfections are intracellular (they hide inside cells), which automatically means it takes long-term treatment to get rid of them.

Well Babs does put a coating on the red blood cells which is why mepron is required, it breaks the coating and the zith kills the parasite.

good reading thanks friends

t9im,
But it does that regardless of whether we threaten it with medicine/herbs, right?
