yep, i dont follow all of them - more sample the bits i find useful - as really they dont have all the answers either

but i have read some of his stuff before - found his differential diagnosis between lyme babs bart etc one of the better ones

the guide is excelent and shows how far from clear cut diagnosing from stained slides is

his guidance is much along the lines that i was concerned about - lack of other morphologies ( other than small dots on the surface) is not usual for Babesia - normally there would be ring forms and line forms and dot clster forms etc - Babesia is known for its multiple morphologies

the items on my slides could even be platelets or even some natural phenomenon where the spleen does not remove the nucleus from red blood cells properly - called howell-jolly bodies

i think i will need to upgrade my scope and do more slides....

Fascinating Garz

This morning I had a hard time opening my eyelids. I lay in bed and have to physically think about how to open my eyelids. My eyes were ‘seeing’ the inside of my eyelids. I saw hundreds of gram- negative rods bouncing around, bumping into each other, turning around and backing into others. Crazy huh?

Gonna lay off slides for awhile. . .

thanks for the link Bonnie

actually i have looked into that before and read the Corson ebook at the time.

i have since come to the conclusion that what fry labs, who "discovered" this ProtoMyxzoa Rhematica organism, were seeing was fibrin from bartonella or bartonella like organisms and their biofilms

as far as i could ascertain - no other lab has reported duplicating their findings or validated the existence of the novel PR organism - which i think would have happened by now - some 10 years later if it did exist as a new species - and fry have now backed away from it somewhat also.

they do however do work on bartonella staining and diagnosis.

ps i have sourced a suitable 100x oil objective for my microscope in order to get better resolution images - i just need to figure out how to get the optics perfectly clean and will re-run the experiment to see what i can see

Bartenderbonnie pointed me here. Could anyone willing watch my live blood microscopy video comment on what you see? Here's my post:
