Fascinating. Did you read the other one on self-destructive and self-regenerating antibiotics? Hope the humans find a way to outsmart the microbes, seems like I read in a special issue of Science (Nature?) about 10 years ago that the outcome of that battle was uncertain.
Microbes have an advantage in not having egos interfere with their activities, unlike humans.

We will live only if we let them live. Right now the microbes have the upper hand; they have outsmarted us.
Lyme Disease is a messenger. At the rate we are going, we may be on the endangered species list not very long from now. It is time for us to change.
Take care.

Marnie...is that Heavy Metal Rock Music you are referring to???? or....that metal plate in my head????
(HA!...just kdding....the plate is ceramic...)
Gigi, I agree. Look at what we have done to this world.
When I went to Woodstock in 1969 as an idealistic college student and bonded with others that truly believed in peace and love and the environment, I would have thought someone was crazy if they described the world in 2006 to me...it would have been too much to believe.
Our governments have failed us...all over the world, not just here.
The fact that we are the best of the lot should mean that we need to set a good example, such as a quest for peace, instead of arrogant war mongering and hateful attitudes against other cultures...who now hate back. Our lack of compassion has created an enemy that has no conscience...even concerning fellow Muslims.
We have ruined our rivers and lakes, fouled our air and soil, and have over-developed our lands...to the point of insanity: the Federal Gov. paying people to rebuild in areas prone to flooding, mudslides, hurricanes, etc., is just plain stupid. Army Corps of Engineers ruined the Everglades years ago, and now we let them rebuild the levees in New Orleans...the same ones that they screwed up years back??? WHAT????? Trying to make it real compared to WHAT!!!!!!!???? DAMMIT!!!!!
I am ticked off. Did I say that???? No, someone else was using my keyboard.
Just sitting here with an IV line in my arm...waiting for Godot.

Marnie, yes, Not kidding, we know and have known for many years that Bb l o v e heavy metal. It also assures their continued existence. They do sense their environments.
This is part of a publication in the 1990's by Dr. K.:
"In the case of mercury the therapeutic dilemma is most clear: mercury can be used to treat infections but - not unlike chemotherapy - also causes a different type of illness itself and may kill the patient. The same is true for most metals: small doses may have a therapeutic effect in a short term, life saving direction, but may also cause their own illness.
Most metals have a very narrow therapeutic margin before their neurotoxic, in some cases carcinogenic effect, outweighs the benefits.
Toxic metals may be fungicidal and bactericidal, maybe even virucidal, but many foreign invaders have the ability to adapt over time to a toxic metal environment in a way, that stuns scientists and certainly outpaces the ability of the cells of a higher organism - like ours - to adapt in a similar way.
So in the long run, the situation looks different: the cells of the body are harmed by toxic metals whereas the invading microorganisms can often thrive in a heavy metal environment. Research by Ludwig, Voll and others in Germany, by Omura and myself here in the US, showed that microorganisms tend to set up their housekeeping in those body compartments, that have the highest pollution with toxic metals.
The body's own immune cells are incapacitated in those areas whereas the microorganisms multiply and thrive in an undisturbed way. The teeth, jawbone, Peyers patches in the gutwall, the groundsystem (connective tissue) and the autonomic ganglia are common sites of metal storage - where microorganisms thrive.
Furthermore, those body areas also are vasoconstricted and hypoperfused (by blood, nutrients and oxygen), which fosters the growth of anaerobic germs, fungi and viruses."
(Heavy Metals and Chronic Disease/article)
In fact, we use anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, retroviral, etc. (sounds and frequencies) CD's that we play for them at low volume. and they are very effective in reducing their numbers. Again, I am not kidding. I posted about these CD's years ago, but I did not get the same resonance as the bugs in me used to get from the CD's!!!! They work on the principle of homeopathy: "Likes cure Likes". For preventive purposes, we still play them on and off. Sound like chirping crickets!
JWR, well said. I totally agree and my heart rate goes up when I think about it.........
Take care.

Gi Gi...I was referring to heavy metal music...and heavy metals.
An inside joke.
What concerns me is that our "silver" fillings and the cements and other things dentists use also contain zinc (!)...which we know Bb likes.
Zn+cholesterol in the outer cell wall is VERY acidic...that is the toxin.
Now THAT compounds the problem...as if Hg (mercury) wasn't bad enough.
Don't even get me started on aluminum...

Marnie, unaware of your inside joke, I was talking heavy metal music. Not zinc, not mercury, not aluminum, not chemistry. I was talking physics.
We are responding to the bugs, since they seem to like both the heavy metal and the heavy metal music, with music/ their own music. It's a great adjunct to quieting down more of them - with a very innocent CD mirroring their own music. Wish you could hear it - heavy metal for certain. Can only tolerate it at the lowest volume barely audible.
Again, not chemistry as a starter.
Take care.

Gi Gi...I understand and concur...sounds can be healing.
I posted elsewhere (on more than one occasion):
Music and dopamine
Music improves dopaminergic neurotransmission: demonstration based on the effect of music on blood pressure regulation.
Sutoo D, Akiyama K.
Institute of Medical Science, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8575, Japan. [email protected]
The mechanism by which music modifies brain function is not clear. Clinical findings indicate that music reduces blood pressure in various patients. We investigated the effect of music on blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Previous studies indicated that calcium increases brain dopamine (DA) synthesis through a calmodulin (CaM)-dependent system.
Increased DA levels reduce blood pressure in SHR. In this study, we examined the effects of music on this pathway. Systolic blood pressure in SHR was reduced by exposure to Mozart's music (K.205), and the effect vanished when this pathway was inhibited. Exposure to music also significantly increased serum calcium levels and neostriatal DA levels.
These results suggest that music leads to increased calcium/CaM-dependent DA synthesis in the brain, thus causing a reduction in blood pressure. Music might regulate and/or affect various brain functions through dopaminergic neurotransmission, and might therefore be effective for rectification of symptoms in various diseases that involve DA dysfunction.

And just last month, on WebMd there was an article titled:
Music May Ease Chronic Pain Listening to Tunes for an Hour a Day Makes a Difference, Study Shows
Oh, yes...I believe the right sounds can make a big difference...at the chemical cellular level.

The CDs I am referring to and the "music" they deliver are a bit different than the music that is helping the autonomics to balance, such as a Mozart, etc. (I would exclude Mozart's Requiem! as a healing aid for different reasons).
The CDs I am talking about are Entrainment CDs. These CDs use pulsed electromagnetic sounds and frequencies which are emitted by microbes in their natural habitat. They are recorded with ultrasensitive microphones in very specific soundproof places.
By feeding this information back to the host-organism, the cells of the immune system become alerted to the presence of these "stealth" microbes, which are otherwise not recognized and not attended to. Most effective is the anti-viral CD. Viruses are not alive on their own. They are pure information. We treat information with information - the same principles as applied in homeopathy - "likes cures likes".
I use these CDs for all microbes (Borrelia, bacteria, parasites, retro-viruses, molds and fungi, etc.) They are played with headphones to the body parts involved or at extremely low volume over a sound system (they are not pleasant to listen to!!!) I used to play them alternating, days in between, very low volume as we were going to sleep.
I do prefer the pleasant music you are referring to, Marnie, but the music I am talking about is a different "music" that originates from the microbes, the borrelia, the protozoa, etc. and if it were not for the entrainment effect, I would turn it off just as I turn off the heavy metal music that you hear from the boom boxes out of kid's cars driving down the street!
The CD's have been available for purchase for a number of years. I have used them continuously over the years, and just now, if a virus seems to come my way with a flu, I play the CD and go to sleep with it.
Crazy, yes. A number of things I did and still do sound crazy and people with limited understanding snickered - even at this board; but it got us where we are today - well.
Take care.
