Rulide and bactrim where lightly dusted onto a glass slide.

I then placed my dirty blood with lyme hatchlings on to the slide, covered it with a coverslip, lightly wiggled the slip to mix the blood. Checked up under live blood microscopy immediatly and sure enough, they all died within about 1 minute.

After that NOTHING was moving.

I used Rulide(roxithromycin) twice a day, along with Bicillin LA injections every other day for six weeks.

It helped me more than any protocol so far for lyme.

But in the U.S. Rulide isn't, or at least wasn't available, except through Canada

And even then, my order was post-marked from Hong Kong via Switzerland???? [dizzy]

How do you get Rulide, if you are in the U.S.?

Thanks,
Jim

I'm currently in contact with a physician from Fry Labs who is helping me to purchase all of the tools I need to setup a laboratory in my kitchen. From the microscope to the refrigerator I'll be using, culturing, etc. I'm going to purchase a darkfield microscope with LED flo technology -- most likely.

I'm excited. It is also my pleasure to say that Fry Labs does have preliminary data on Hemobartonella and Mycoplasma -- which seem to be showing up on the slides. They have been testing the DNA to see exactly what it is, and they have a very good idea of what it is, but are not currently releasing the data to the public. It will be released shortly however.

If I get more information, I will provide it.

hi
It is not a pleasure to read this kind of thing.Unfortunately there is no evidence that they know what they see in the smears.
Exactly what "preliminary data on haemaobartonella and mycoplasma" do they have?Be very specific, please.
If you dont have that kind of info, I think it is unethical to spread rumors- people are acting on them.
Up to 5 months ago people with the smear were told that it was Bartonella.If you have Bart in your bloodstream it can be easily verified with a pcr.Nevertheless, people have had no information that identification has been altered.We dont need speculation any more- but facts.Facts would be very important to a lot of people and if you are in a position to provide facts- dont hesitate.

It is unfortunate you feel that way.

Fry Labs reported that they have prelinary data regarding the findings on the smears. I asked them if they've spent the time actually doing the work to dissect it, analyze it's DNA. They said it was a high priority and have A Ph.D Molecular Microbiologist working on it full time: as their only obligation and job. Apparently he's very good.

I pressed them quite hard for data, but the topic ended with "We can not release these findings to the public until we are 100% certain, we do not want to mislead anyone. I then said "But you're confident thus far in your findings, whatever they may be?" And they reported "Yes."

Do not speculate about what those findings are, or what the findings are about (i.e. Hemobartonella/Mycoplasma). What you need to understand is, they're doing the work to figure it out and they're working on it quickly.

Already covered this.

I'm working on it. Knowing that some data is available, though inaccessible at this time -- is a very important step. The community needs to know the wheels are turning.

That's all I'll say until I have more information.
