I've started Buhner's book, "Healing Lyme". About ticks, on page 19 he writes, "As soon as larvae (or any growth stage of these ticks) start to feed, they begin releasing a unique blend of chemicals into the blood stream of their host. Among other things, these act as potent chemical cues for any spirochete that happens to be in the animal they are now feeding upon. Once tick saliva factors are sensed, existent spirochetes immediately enter the blood stream and flow to the site of larval attachment."
Anyone thinking like am I about the fantastic treatment opportunity this presents? Inject either natural or synthesized tick saliva to call the spirochetes out of hiding, then zap them with abx, herbs, infrared, rife, or whatever you believe works best. Lather, rinse, repeat a few times. By exploiting the spirochetes' natural attraction to tick saliva we should be able to more rapidly shake them out of their hiding places, thus decreasing treatment duration, and increasing treatment effectiveness.

From what I've read, I believe the tick saliva makes it so the spirochete is invisible to the human immune system.
I don't think this idea would work.

i guess we would have to know what buhner means when he says 'spirochete' -- does he mean only the spiral forms, or do the cyst forms suddenly revert to spiral forms?
if so, and if you could get the immune system to recognize them if they did not, then you are on your way to a nobel prize in medicine =)

Cottonbrain - I agree Buhner is a bit vague on that point. His implication is the spirochetes that are not in the blood, but rather buried in other cells, are signalled by the tick saliva to not only migrate to the blood, but also to the site at which the tick is attached. Seems to me anything that gathers our Bb to a known location of the human body provides an otherwise unparalleled opportunity to kill them off.

You can research studies on tick saliva. The spirochetes probably react differently when they are in the gut of the tick as compared with the human body.
There's probably 1000 complex things going on in the tick's body. Our bodies are very different than the tick.
There are some studies about tick saliva. It's a very complex substance.

I always thought that might be a good idea, dguy, ever since I read Steven's book. But isolating the key compound(s) in the tick that causes the borrelia to perk up & "look" for the "source"... then mass-producing & distributing it... that's the bugaboo.
Still, alternating that & something like Ketek would seem to be a potent combo!
