Physicians at a hospital in Berlin reported that a bone marrow transplant from a donor carrying the Delta 32 gene variant -- which is known to help protect against the AIDS virus -- seems to have left an HIV-positive patient free of infection for nearly two years. The patient, who also had leukemia, was asked to stop using HIV drugs during the treatment. One of the doctors, however, cautioned against "false hopes," saying the procedure is not designed to treat HIV patients.

Maybe someone will research and find out if Bone Marrow transplant would work for chronic Lyme disease.

Thanks for the Article Tree.

That would only work if there was a human that had complete resistance to lyme sofar that aint looking that way!
Spirochetes are mobile and they learn from mistakes ie dna is changed as it incounters a new problem.
They also have more DNA than any other bacteria on earth sofar.
