Re: - cysts, etc

Well... maybe I was wrong... the potency of nitroimidazoles for many

people *does* suggest maybe something strange and very critical is

going on with enclosed cysts, something hard to explain. But I dont

know if it *proves* that, cause can one rule out an effect on

spirochetes and non-enclosed L-forms in vivo? I dono. Maybe Stricker

is coming at it from that empirical angle, in which case he might be

alot more up his sleeve than I was suspecting.

With some bacteria, they morph quickly into their variant form,

and the abx that chased them into that form can either be INeffective

on the variant, or even more effective.

When 2 abx are used in combo, sometimes the second abx will chase the

variant back into the classical form (or damage the variant so the

immune system activates) - so the use of 2 abx may be

able to drive the forms back and forth - and the abx will kill one or

the other.

This is the reasoning behind double and triple abx combinations

Bb morphs pretty quickly in vitro in the presence of abx (within 2

hrs.) Who knows in the body how long it would take? The same time?

Longer? And as they morph, they're creating different proteis and

maybe their own enzymes.. so I can see how this would add to a person

feeling crappy.
