This is a great series for all of us to learn from. Organisms & parasites are all around us & become more problematic with Lyme and a lowered immune system.
I would recommend anyone with Lyme and their families to watch the series in it's entirety. We can pick up anyone of these additional organisms along the way & treat forever without progress & perhaps decline.
The links are a recap of the stories & they are a lot more interesting & informative when watching the entire portion.
There are other interesting episodes, for which I did not even provide a link to. In one of the shows a woman who takes a breathing stimulant (asthma med) and has lowered her immunity as a result.
She has an infestation of the strongyloides parasites (a threadlike roundworm). They think that she got it from her own backyard, walking barefoot in the grass. They used Ivermectin to treat her and she is in remission.
Another woman develops fibromyalgia, weakness, fatigue, muscle pain, burning pain in muscles & joints, low grade fevers, ,headaches, heaviness in her chest, tingling in her legs & pain in her arms.
She considers suicide because of her pain. It turns out that she had saline breast implants & they noticed when removed they were completely black. A smear of this black liquid revealed aspergillus niger (aspergillosis). She was put on 4-6 weeks of rigorous antifungals (Fluconazole or Diflucan).
