Borrelia and Candida

[Guest guest]

> The one thing that goes hand in hand with Lyme is Candida. And no MD will

recignize it and few ND's really truly understand it. It mimicks Lyme almost to

the T and many of us that have been on years or months of antibiotics are prone

to it and it is not treated right.

good point, they can even look alike under the microscope (both are pleomorphic

organisms, some forms are visually similar). And the problem is that despite the

many similarities they require different treatment: ABX will not hurt Candida

but (and often make it even worse, because it kills bacteria that compete with

it) but ABX can help against Borrelia.
