Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 BTW Tony I wrote Tarello and got no response. I am trying, trying, trying, to get a pathologist to do a blood smear to see if we can see babesia in my blood cells. I really would like to see it before I embark on antimalarials even though my fish (RNA) test was positive. I HATE, absolutely hate, the way medicine is conducted here. Its so hard to get anywhere, I'm about ready to go get my own microscope and learn stuff like you did... > > This statement right here is a big problem that is only clouding > the > > issue: > > > > At first, Mr. Courcier did not know whom to trust, and he remained > > on the antibiotics therapy prescribed by his doctor in Texas.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 The second best thing to do is find out the correct staining procedure for babesia and red blood cells.Actually you may have more luck reading up this stuff in vet circles.I do know how easily walter catches this stuff.I do recall him telling me that many of his cfs smeras were a bacterial zoo of organisms. He does have microbiology and vetenarian techniques covered extremely well as he has written many vet books on topics like parasites and the like. - -- In infections , " jill1313 " <jenbooks13@h...> wrote: > BTW Tony I wrote Tarello and got no response. > I am trying, trying, trying, to get a pathologist to do a blood smear > to see if we can see babesia in my blood cells.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 You're probably right about vet circles. They're always way ahead of us. > > > > This statement right here is a big problem that is only > clouding > > > the > > > > issue: > > > > > > > > At first, Mr. Courcier did not know whom to trust, and he > > remained > > > > on the antibiotics therapy prescribed by his doctor in Texas. > But > > > by > > > > July he concluded that he did not have Lyme disease and > stopped > > > > taking the antibiotics, which he said were only making him > feel > > > > worse. > > > > > > > > I read this same rationale all the time, that because a person > > > > reacts badly to one abx, it's some kind of proof that there's > no > > > > infection involved. > > > > > > > > When is the medical community going to shine some light on > this > > > > entire antibiotic/infection debaucle?
