I had some questions concerning the Cat's Claw/Banderol study from the University of New Haven, and was hoping someone might be able to answer them.

Here is a link to it, for those who are interested:

So here is what I'm wondering:

(1) I was under the impression that there were three forms of Bb: spirochete, cyst, and intracellular/CWD/L-form. The study refers to three forms: spirochete, round body, and biofilm colony. So which is which? Is the round body the cyst form and the intracellular form the biofilm colony? Or is it the reverse? Or is the biofilm colony a fourth kind of form and they just didn't look at the intracellular/CWD/L-form kind?

(2) It seems to indicate that a dilution of 1:300 (for the herbs) is most effective. What kind of dosing would be necessary to achieve this sort of concentration in vivo (mg/lbs body weight or whatever)?

Thanks

I think round body = cyst and intracellular/CWD/L-form.

Biofilms can protect any form of bacteria - spirochete, cyst, CWD/L-form.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with dosing on the herbs.
