Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Very interesting article. It actually takes info from my little LLMD, Dan Kinderleher, M.D. Wow! I have been thinking a lot about syphilis, and how similar it is to Lyme. I don't think doctors question Syphilis, so why do they question Lyme. I was watching " House " recently and this woman was very sick, turned out she had Syphilis. She had gotten the Syphilis as a teenager, was treated and had been fine for most of her life. But at some point the syphilis was triggered and it again was causing trouble. Why is that so hard to believe that same senario of Lyme. They are both spirochetes aren't they? I wonder what drug they use to treat syphylis? Have they tried it on us. There is a very good explanation as to how ABX actually work on spirochetes. Also it gives thier life span and explains that ABX could be needed for a year and a half, as the ABX really only work when a bacteria or spirochete is dividing. Very interesting read. I plan on saving it on to my website for safe keeping.

In fact there is NO pathogensis for chronic syphilis and just like lyme they cant seem to find enough of the bacteria to explain anything. Apparantly chronic syphilis has NEVER been studied with the electron microscope. It is accepted universally mainly because it is treatable... after a brief treatment it apparantly fails to progress (always?) and usually symptoms resolve. At least according to what they tell ya. But it used to be very very abundant and now it is very rare so the lit seems to be correct. THis response to abx is why it is concluded to be an infectious disease by everyone. The residual sx that occur in apparantly a minority of cases (eg seizure, etc in neurosyphilis) are attributed by some to damage, but it sounds like there is not definitive evidence. > I wonder what drug they use to treat syphylis?

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Geez, tell that to Nietzsche and the Baroness Blixen (Isak Dinesen). Certainly many people suffered either lifelong exacerbations, and/or late stage madness/psychosis. Read, POX by Deborah Hayden. I guess you are not too interested in my plastids . They are so way cool. I will keep them for myself then! -- In infections , " Hodologica " <usenethod@y...> wrote: > > > I have been thinking a lot about syphilis, and how similar it is to > > Lyme. > > I " love " syphilis! > > > I don't think doctors question Syphilis, so why do they > > question Lyme. > > In fact there is NO pathogensis for chronic syphilis and just like > lyme they cant seem to find enough of the bacteria to explain > anything.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Nietzsche died in like 1897-9 when syphilis was treated (semi- successfully, bad side effects) with heavy metals, Fleming discovered benzylpenicillin in the early/mid 30s and couldnt get anyone interested in it for any application at all, apparantly he was a big smart observant wimp in mid-WWII someone dug it up and 30+ Brit & AMerican labs started working on it feverishly and brought it out rapidly, at first they still got it from Penicillium, but they had selected hyper-producing strains for better yields. At the time the only antibx other than heavy metals were sulfa drugs, discovered in the 1930s, but I'm not sure they were as good as sulfamethoxazole is, and I'm not sure they were very versatile - in fact I hear otherwise but only from superficial sources. I cant read about new subjects like plastids this week, super busy... > Geez, tell that to Nietzsche and the Baroness Blixen (Isak Dinesen). > > Certainly many people suffered either lifelong exacerbations, and/or > late stage madness/psychosis. > > Read, POX by Deborah Hayden. > > I guess you are not too interested in my plastids .

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Maybe I'm not reading correctly, but it seems to me the article doesn't say " 14 out 20 chronically ill have Lyme !! " It says: " One year ago, in the Bradford Research Institute/Ingles Hospital, Tijuana, Mexico, 1 in 20 patients had Lyme disease. Today, the incidence is in excess of 14 in 20. " And it appears to me to be an infomercial for the " Bradford Microscope.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yeah, I saw that episode too. It's a good show, although I get somewhat squeamish when they talk about antibiotics sometimes. His prognosis and treatment plan in the show was two weeks penicillin, after which she'd be cured of syphillis, but the brain damage (which she liked) would stay. If that's true, 2 weeks to kill penicillin, then what makes lyme so much harder to kill? penny > > Just Found this on the Candida forum , > > > > > > > > Chart E: Lyme Disease Out of Control · An estimated 18 million > cases in > > the US alone, many more worldwide. · With poor diagnosis and > treatment, > > there is little hope for a successful resolution. · Available > treatment > > modalities are only partially successful; the causative organism > is masked > > in lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils and tissues. · One year > ago, in the > > Bradford Research Institute/Ingles Hospital, Tijuana, Mexico, 1 in > 20 > > patients had Lyme disease.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 I meant, two weeks to kill syphillis, not penicillin! :-) Sometimes I wish I could kill it ALL in two weeks! And go back to a normal life. But right now, penicillin seems to be working really well on my infection, so wouldn't want to kill that. :-) The salty taste, which is an indicator of how active my infection is, is almost gone. That's good news for me, for now. penny > > > Just Found this on the Candida forum , > > > > > > > > > > > > Chart E: Lyme Disease Out of Control · An estimated 18 million > > cases in > > > the US alone, many more worldwide. · With poor diagnosis and > > treatment, > > > there is little hope for a successful resolution. · Available > > treatment > > > modalities are only partially successful; the causative organism > > is masked > > > in lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils and tissues. · One year > > ago, in the > > > Bradford Research Institute/Ingles Hospital, Tijuana, Mexico, 1 > in > > 20 > > > patients had Lyme disease.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Yeah, my guess is synphillis isn't all that easy to kill either. Why did it reappear in her after 50 years if it is? Some triggering mechanism that caused it to re-emerge? What triggers these bugs to take over in any of us? If any of this is even true at all. Generally, this show is pretty smart. As a matter of fact, it's a favorite of medical people, but like I said, I get squeamish when they start talking about antibiotics, especially their misuse (although they do talk about specific pathogens needing specific abx, and cultures, etc. That's encouraging). penny > > > His prognosis and treatment plan in the show was two weeks > > penicillin, after which she'd be cured of syphillis, but the brain > > damage (which she liked) would stay.
