Hi ;

Anybody out there who are experienced with wet blood microscopy? This video shows a blood sample from a ten year old bedridden child. She has a long list of symptoms compliant with Lyme disease, and she is diagnosed with ME/CFS.
We use a phase contrast scope, 100x oilfilled objective.

I have observed activity like this a few times before. I am not at all sure that the observation can be related to the illness. I appreciate any views or opinions!

Otlo,

I guess you are talking about the bubbly strange "cloud" moving around:

For what it is worth:

I had my blood examined with dark field microscopy by a naturopath and I had this stuff in my blood, too. So, according to this naturopath, this stuff is a form of candida.

He calls it C-candida (C stands for camouflaged) and I think this name is his invention. He says that this kind of candida cannot be detected by the usual tests.

He even wrote a book about it (in German): "Candidalismus". He says he finds this in more and more of his very sick patients. He has developped a treatment for it (isopathic) - which I did for 2,5 months. Then, the blood was clear of this stuff. At least the part that he showed me...

BUT: he also said that I was cured now and I didn't feel a bit better.

So, as I said: for what it is worth!

Gabrielle

I have no idea really but just looking around the internet-

It looks to me like a gallgang! What is a gallgang- I have no idea!!! They are in figure 5 on this site and I wrote the guy who has this site asking his opinion on your photo- hopefully he will answer!!!

See Figure 5 on this page:
http://science.uniserve.edu.au/pubs/callab/vol10/sandberg.html

It looks the same to me.

Aha, I investigated further and I believe gallgang is BILE. It appears to be a normal thing seen by microscope.

See C in this frame:
http://www.nature.com/labinvest/journal/v83/n2/fig_tab/3780604f2.html

To me they look the same but I am not a histologist and have NO idea really!! I wrote this guy who knows ihstology to see if he knows but who knows if he will write back!!!

best wishes,
Sarah

Looking at my own microscopy and the blood evaluation sheet that my nautropath gave me in '03.

It looks to me like it might be: Eosinophils-are granular leukocytes with one or two oval lobes. Increased counts indicate allergies, parasites, tobacco smoking, drug and chemical toxicity, infection (esp fungal), low immunity. Vit A, C, B6, Zinc adrenal. Should be phagocytic, not moonlike, to be considered viable.

Has this been on the blood slides consistantly over a period of time? Or is this just one instance?

Thank you all for views and comments !

Map 1131 asks if these objects have been seen over some time. Well, I have seen many, many objects which I consider to be related - but usually those objects are kept within an outer 'static' frame, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc3JeGoqHtk
After a few hours, there is usually no more activity, the object will remain static.


Feel free to comment on any of the videos, - they are all from people who are severely hit with symptoms compliant with Lyme Borreliosis.
From my point of view, the fact that activity closely relates to abx is interesting. After a few weeks on doxycline (ex) there is no visible activity in the samples.

I saw yeast in my blood under phase contrast at 1000x and she (natpath tech) told me it was yeast, it was not moving though...it was greenish. I dont know I didnt think yeast moved.
