Spirochetal cyst forms in neurodegenerative disorders,...hiding in plain sight.

Here is proposed a hypothesis that a completely unsuspected biology exists for pathogenic spirochetes, namely that the cystic spirochetal forms (long thought to be static and resting or just a dormant cohort) actually are capable of killing mammalian host cells.
At least two "lethal" scenarios are proposed; first, the host cell destruction from the "inside out" by small caliber cystic forms invading the host cell cytoplasm, and second host cell destruction by engulfment of entire host cells by large caliber cystic spirochetal forms.
Conventional thinking about spirochetal cyst forms is divided between two polar spheres of influence; one a majority community that completely denies the existence of spirochetal cyst forms, and a second group of academically persecuted individuals who accepts the precepts of such antebellum scientists as Schaudinn, Hoffman, Dutton, Levaditi, Balfour, Fantham, Noguchi, McDonough, Hindle, Steiner, Ingraham, Coutts, Hampp, Warthin, Ovcinnikov, and Delamater.
Microscopic images of cystic spirochetes are difficult to ignore, but as has been the case in this century, academic "endowments" have nearly expunged all cystic spirochetal image data from the current textbook versions of what is the truth about the spirochetaceae. If the image database from the last century is obliterated; many opportunities to diagnose will be lost.
Variously sized cystic spirochetal profiles within diseased nerve cells explain the following structures: Lewy body of Parkinson's disease, Pick body, ALS spherical body, Alzheimer plaque. Borrelia infection is therefore a unifying concept to explain diverse neurodegenerative diseases, based not entirely on a corkscrew shaped profile in diseased tissue, but based on small, medium and large caliber rounded cystic profiles derived from pathogenic spirochetes which are..."hiding in plain sight".

Thanks for posting, Terry, it's great information! I must be on to having a good day today as I even understood it!
I'm not going to comment on the content ... it will just get me going about the money-driven medical field, ugh.

Thanks, that's very interesting. Lorima

Yes, this certainly is of interest..... and it looks very familiar. I am sure I have read this before...
Hard to imagine that some of those old, important images may be destroyed, thus eliminating a lot of evidence going back many years.....
Thanks, Terry.

I think what they are saying is not that the images themselves are being destroyed, they are just not included in medical text books and data bases which are used by students and doctors.
There is modern evidence of cyst life phases in spirochetes as well. And there are modern photos etc. Both in the Netherlands and the USA. Maybe also in Russia and Poland. There is plenty of evidence, I think microbiologists would take cyst phases as indisputable fact without blinking an eye... As common as a pollywog turning into a frog, or an egg turning into a chicken- no big deal.
The thing is, most doctors rarely read studies or reports as far as I can see, and this stuff is not included in medical text books, "paid for" medical diagnosis data bases in computer programs which many doctors use, or common medical journals like JAMA. It's not in the "reader's digest cook book" for medical practitioners.

caat - love the link with the pictures of cysts.
I was talking to my M.D. (who is very involved in training interns) about borrelia cysts and she didn't seem to know that cysts were in the picture for spirochetes. She is a very bright doctor too. She also didn't know that they could be passed to a fetus. She said absolutely not until I told her that I had seen it on the CDC website not to mention papers written by doctors about autopsies on newborns with borrelia in their organs. She was quite surprised.
Why is such important information being left out?? It explains so much about how the infection can persist.

Terry,
I don't think there is any easy way for doctors to keep up to date on information.
Having said that... I think they are constantly being fed pap or something. I get the impression doctors are trained less and less in even the very basics of microbiology and infectious disease. To the point some actually prescribe antibiotics for mild viral flues! Or giardia meds for worms! Oh yes some certainly do...
I don't know what all they are trained for.... And JAMA looks like a sensational reader's digest condensed to me. It doesn't look good does it? I guess that's why the "literate" is in LLMD.
...Like Mark Twain said, when being treated be careful you don't die of a misprint. Maybe things haven't changed that much after all.

and yeah. The cyst thing is why I added flagyl at the same time as the rocephin. And I think I got rid of the lyme.
