I just had a thought that confuses me about Dr. F saying it is beneficial for babesia as well. Babesia infects the red blood cells so it is not in biofilm - is it?
Also, as lyme disease infects all mammals wouldn't the deer who eat a low fat vegan diet have more resistance than the predators? Is there any study confirming this? I have to be my own devil's advocate.
If a person is already on a whole foods low fat vegan diet, would they have more resistance and not even get sick - or as sick? I wonder.

Perhaps babesia is different then. Dr. F. seems to talk mainly about the protozoa formerly known as FL1953, as he discovered this one. I have heard they are similar, and like to couch what one is really treating when treating bugs, because so much is people being stuck in these symptoms are this bug and treated by these drugs, but in reality when they rarely see the bug, it's a lot more like these drugs are treating whatever bug is causing these symptoms, so I like to be a little more cautious. But to your question, I really don't know if babesia specifically is in biofilm.
Who knows on the deer, I doubt that's been studied in the lab. But what does it mean that so many deer are infected thought of as carriers of the ticks? That seems at least consistent. If they were very susceptible to that kind of disease, having all those ticks might get them really sick to the point of not being able to keep living with it. Just my speculation there.
Perhaps it would help some if it were a healthy diet, including enough fat to be healthy. I do remember hearing some study, probably mice or rats or something like that, they gave them tick bites and they never fought off all the infection, they always got sick. Of course if these were lab rats, they weren't living a "normal" rate life in the outdoors, and got extra wireless EMF's and whatnot.

Well, the deer population certainly is not decreasing so it is not killing them off, and I wouldn't doubt that most of them are infected.
Horses get it too and it seems to make them pretty sick but I have never heard of anyone putting a horse down because of lyme disease. Some horses are fed high concentrations of grain with corn which is high in fat and sugar.
I don't know if predators, like coyotes, are being reduced in numbers or they have just been killed and can't recover.

IMO, if you want to keep your body as alkaline as possible, a vegan or vegetarian diet is best!
