Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I had a swab sent recently and just thought I would take a pic and share it with you guys.This guy is strongly positive lyme patient, actually grew the spiro's.His other debilitating symptom is sinus issues from a young age. Anyway's the photo shows pseudonomads and underneath the major pathogen you have staphylococcus(surprisingly growing intermingled with the pseudonmads) I tend to get them not to share the same space due to pseudonomads being a more antibiotic resistant strain in general. Anyways the drugs you would try against the pseudonomads which dominate this sample are gentamicin-levaquin-cipro-aztreonam-I also threw in some vancomycin because I did observe the staph in my gram stain 'dominated the gram stain' yet the whole grwoth was strongly- HEAVY PSEUDONOMADS.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Tony I find it fascinating when you post photos. This is a photo of inhibition by diff abx--? Or? Can you explain the photo? It doesn't actually show the psuedos and the staphy, does it? This is a swab you cultured? Sometimes I wonder what else isin the darn ticks. Not like they'd FRICKEN (ha ha Barb) FRIGGIN FRICK-IN tell us! LOL. I must be FRACKEN STRESSED OUT. FRICK FRACK. Anyway. The other thing is, its known that lyme downregulates immune function. It screws with toll like receptor 2 and 4. So, it also might be that it allows other crap to multiply and then you're in double trouble. > I had a swab sent recently and just thought I would take a pic and > share it with you guys.This guy is strongly positive lyme patient, > actually grew the spiro's.His other debilitating symptom is sinus > issues from a young age. > Anyway's the photo shows pseudonomads and underneath the major > pathogen you have staphylococcus(surprisingly growing intermingled > with the pseudonmads) I tend to get them not to share the same space > due to pseudonomads being a more antibiotic resistant strain in > general. > Anyways the drugs you would try against the pseudonomads which > dominate this sample are gentamicin-levaquin-cipro-aztreonam-I also > threw in some vancomycin because I did observe the staph in my gram > stain 'dominated the gram stain' yet the whole grwoth was strongly- > HEAVY PSEUDONOMADS.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Jill Yep, it's basically showing antibiotic sensitivities of the bacteria. I purposely went for this to seperate the bacteria apart from the original swab.What I mean by this is that you'll get the bacteria to be seperated by there different responses to antibiotics in that clearance area. The photo actually clearly looks like a pseudonomas growth- a greyish shiny appearance is typical pseudonomads, the only surprise part and you have to look closely is the second organism being restricted differently around the antibiotic zones- this is the staph and it's just really looking at shadows.This patient would do really well on gentamicin as it restricts both bacteria very well_ for how long it does a good job is all about follow up cultures IMO. Jill, Ilness is pretty simple -something pains you- it needs getting to the bottom of because the long term outcome is ugly.Many on autoimmune forums have suffered the equivalent of major burns victims from suffering long term unexplained pain.You've got scar tissue, veins, arteries, that are stuck to bones and organs your just a huge mess internally that your blood can't even reach anywhere near normal volume and even give you half a decent immune system, throw in coagulation- intravascular premature clotting of platelets and people are going to fix you with a herb?plueeesse... So what downregulates and what plays havoc is simple_TOXINS BURN THE SHIT OUT OF YOU and you don't do well if this process is played out too long. The ugly part is that sometimes it happens nice and slowly over a long period and while feeling like a flu like ilness is taking you down it's these toxins that are at play making it impossable often for your natural flows to continue like they did giving you unnatural flows that favour haevy colonisation, the thyroid springs to mind. > > I had a swab sent recently and just thought I would take a pic and > > share it with you guys.This guy is strongly positive lyme patient, > > actually grew the spiro's.His other debilitating symptom is sinus > > issues from a young age. > > Anyway's the photo shows pseudonomads and underneath the major > > pathogen you have staphylococcus(surprisingly growing intermingled > > with the pseudonmads) I tend to get them not to share the same space > > due to pseudonomads being a more antibiotic resistant strain in > > general. > > Anyways the drugs you would try against the pseudonomads which > > dominate this sample are gentamicin-levaquin-cipro-aztreonam-I also > > threw in some vancomycin because I did observe the staph in my gram > > stain 'dominated the gram stain' yet the whole grwoth was strongly- > > HEAVY PSEUDONOMADS.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Hi Tony, > This guy is strongly positive lyme patient, > actually grew the spiro's. I don't understand who grew the spiros--was it you, the guy himself, or some lab (in which country)? Sue , Upstate New York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
