Which test do you mean? The biofilm test is not new, you get a picture with the biofilm.

The Fry lab test isn't too new. It will show the protozoan within biofilm.
Treatment isn't only abx. It's a low fat diet. McDougall diet type. Low fat, abx, antimalaria drugs, and soon, more treatment for parasites.
I feel so much better going on a whole foods, low low fat diet. The thought is that the fat is feeding the biofilm thickness. Once you take fat out of the picture, the abx kills it better.
He is treating many ALS patients. Wish you could come out to AZ.

daughter had the test. Positive for FL1953, biofilms.
not great improvement yet - only 5 weeks into treatment.

Can someone please tell me the date of the Public Health Alert article cited in the first post?

Deb,
nothing to be worried, it can be treated and many people have it, many are doing better.
Posted by Deb133 (Member # 18544) on :
thanks Karen for some reassurance. I guess people do get better but from I understand from listening to Dr Fry...there is no cure...but you can get it under control...uggggg
I think this is around for a long time and many have it and can work with it.
If we get the other infections under control we can wait till they find a treatment. He is working to find a cure.
I am not able to do this diet now but starting on cooking great fresh foods, so more in this direction ...

You are welcome!

Deb.... think of this new bug as another co infection, only a stronger one that babs, bart, etc.
And, there is no cure for lyme, babs and bart either. We can put it all in remission, but never get rid of any of this.
Positive thinking...
Diet DOES help.
Most of us that were told we had Babs and bart, really have FL1953... Don't think of this as such a different 'bug'. Still treat it... still can have a life and feel ok with drugs and diet.

well you all make a lot of sense and I do feel better. Blood is being drawn today and we will send it away.
