The action of botulinum (as well as the toxin from the Lyme spirochete) is to prevent, through its action as a proteolytic enzyme, the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Nerve endings may be associated with other nerves or muscles (the neuromuscular junction).
Dietary Supplements in Lyme Disease.
One of the known actions of the Lyme spirochete toxin is to diminish the release and availability of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, a simple organic compound (see above for chemical structure). This substance is biosynthesized by the body as required in nerve activation and transmission. Supplementation by the precursors of acetylcholine synthesis would be of value to Lyme patients since they have a deficiency of this substance. (See Listing 1.)
If the inhibition of acetylcholine release were total, Lyme patients and those suffering from food poisoning would not be able to move; they would be completely paralyzed. Since the blockage is only partial, any increase in the amount of available neurotransmitter would benefit anyone experiencing neurotransmitter blockage. For this reason, dietary supplements increasing the amount of available acetylcholine have been shown to benefit Lyme patients.
Acetylcholine Formation.
Phopsphatidylcholine is a constituent of lecithin, a well-known dietary supplement. Acetylcholine is simply choline to which an acetyl group (CH3CO-) has been attached. Lecithin is the source of choline, and acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) is the source of the acetyl group. Carnitine is synthesized by the body and requires several factors, including the amino acid lysine and vitamin C (ascorbic acid). The supplement known as SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) supplies methyl groups (CH3-) to lysine, forming trimethyllysine. This compound is further processed, requiring additional vitamin C, resulting in carnitine that supplies the necessary acetyl group." Posts: 294 | From nevada | Registered: Sep 2005

Ran across this possibility:
Trilisate� tablet choline mag trisalicylate�
Liver too "fatty"/clogged -> multiple probs.
We know the body is attempting to cure by dumping Mg, big time. We know Bb uses our supply of choline...
That makes Mg, choline (B vitamin, also acidic)...attached to an acid...interesting...
Little mineral (the RIGHT one)...attached to a lot of acids -> hydrogen.
Acetylcholine does contain "H16" in its molecular formula.
Cholera also follows the cholesterol pathway if I remember correctly.
And the virus that causes SARS...
"angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a crucial receptor for the SARS virus"
What did scientists do (in mice so far)?
They gave MORE of the above enzyme...
Not unlike using heparin as a lyme treatment (Bb locks onto a heparin receptor)
AND...a double benefit...heparin contains H16 in its molecular formula.
WHY is 16 the magic number?
Get the most powerful antioxidant (hydrogen) UP and cure...but why only 16 hydrogen atoms and no other drug, natural substance, etc. that contain a different # of hydrogen atoms?
All the gram neg. pathogens are missing acids...they need ours to survive.
Some believe the pathogen that causes MS needs (if you work your way backwards to understand) our folic acid.
Restore the balance to heal. Figure out which nutrients are taking a hit and restore them and the body will heal itself.
The body is always trying to find alternative routes to save us.
If calcium is being "bound", this is not nec. a bad thing. This is the body's chosen route to help fight. Ca "competes" with Mg for binding sites.
Bottom line...get your pH UP.

http://www.healthy.net/scr/Article.asp?Id=1922 B1 helps with this also, I did testing through King James Labs, it showed I had a mito disorder, my cells needed the B1 to function better. I take daily 200mg injections, kinda of painful but I can tell when I don't take them.

B1 is thiamine (part of Valletta's patent!)
Here is the molecular formula:
Vitamin B1: C12H16 N4OS Thiamine
Now...look at this:
1.acetylcholine C7H16NO2
2.melatonin C13H16N2O2
3.Warfarin (blood thinner also known to knock off Bb) C19H16O4
4.usnic acid C18H16O7 (we talked about usnic acid on this board years ago)
5.Rocephin C18H16N8Na2O7S3 * 3.5 H2O

7.A terpene from the bark of a tree: C10H16
8.l-methone C10H16O
9.Malarone (atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride) ...the chemical formula for proguanil hydrochloride is C11H16CIN5 * HCL
10.Biotin: Its molecular formula is C10H16N2O3S There is some evidence that it may have antioxidant activity.
11.Taurolidine to treat bacterial infections, particularly Helicobacter pylori infections. Taurolidine occurs as a white to off-white powder having the molecular formula - C7 H16 N4 O4 S2.
12.EDTA (or ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid, also known as edetic acid or tetra acetic acid) is a synthetic amino acid having a molecular weight of 292.25 and a molecule formula of C10H16N2O8 2-Dimethylaminoethyl 4 chlorophynoxyacetate hydrochloride. trade names Cerutil, Helfergin and Lucidri Molecular Formula: C(12)H(16)CINO(3), HCL Synonyms:Centrophenoxine Hydrochloride; Clofenoxine Hydrochloride; Clophenoxate Hydrochloride; Deanol 4 Chlorophenoxyacetate Hydrochloride; Meclofenoxane Hydrochloride.

23. According to a detailed research on American peppermint oil by F. B. Power and C. Kleber (Pharm. Rundschau, 1894, p. 157), this oil contains the following substances: (1) Acetaldehyde; (2) isovaleric aldehyde; (3) amyl alcohol; (4) free acetic, and (5) isovalerianic acids; (6) pinene; (7) phellandrene; (8) l-limonene; (9) cadinene; (10) cineol; (11) a lactone (C10H16O2); (12) menthone; (13) menthol; (14) menthyl-acetate; (15) menthyl-isovalerianate; (16) menthylester of an acid, C8H12O2; (17) dimethyl sulphide (S[CH3]2). Substances 3 and 17 were additionally found in the laboratory of Schimmel & Co., in 1894 and 1896.
24. Chrysanthemic acid, C10H16O2
25. Ascaridole, C10H16O2
26. Oleum Chenopodii. Oil of Chenopodium. -- This volatile oil, obtained by distilling with water or superheated steam, is a colorless, pale yellowish liquid, peculiar, disagreeable odor, bitte burning taste, soluble in 70 p.c. alcohol (8), sp. gr. 0.967, levorotatory; contains a terpene-- pinene, C10H16, and a liquid oxygenated portion (C10H16O2), ascaridol. Chenopodium is a herb. It is called Mexican Tea. It has been used to treat roundworms. This is curious: We isolated ascaridol from a commercial preparation of Chenopodium oil and analyzed its activity against different tumor cell lines in vitro (CCRF-CEM, HL60, MDA-MB-231). Multidrug-resistant (MDR) counterparts of these cell lines express differentially the MDR-conferring ATP-binding cassette transporter genes MDR1, MRP1 and BCRP, respectively. We found that ascaridol exerts antineoplastic activity. The findings of the present investigation are the first hint that ascaridol may be an interesting novel candidate drug for cancer treatment.
