How Lyme Disease and Its Treatments Work

[@suzlwilliams]

GREAT depiction of the physical bacteria. There are loads of info about proper treatment and what it does to people in UNDER OUR SKIN. BUT they don't cover the physiology of the bacteria which is necessary for people to understand how dangerous and invasive this crappy disease really is. This video needs to be added to the documentary.

[@rahimick5]

Good intro video. One thing that I would add, though: Mercury / heavy metal toxicity is often involved in the clinical picture (esp. in neuro-lyme presentations) and must be simultaneously treated. Chronic infections and heavy metal toxicity are 2 things systematically ignored by mainstream medicine and yet are invariably involved with ALL chronic disease. Until this is acknowledged, people will just keep getting sicker and sicker.

[@gscott69]

@stillfighting1 I'm in the same situation as you. I gave Lyme disease to my wife and she passed it to my two children. I feel the guilt and it drives me crazy. I've had Lyme since the mid 1970's and was only diagnosed in 2007. Too late for any hope of a cure, but hopefully not too late for my family.

Johnny, Bart is serious stuff, and since each person is different, these infections affect everyone differently. To call Bart a "co-infection" is an injustice to what you're going through-Bart can be as rough or rougher on the body & mind as Lyme. Have you been tested for other tick-borne diseases? And what test(s) were done for Lyme? My 1st 2 Lyme tests were negative, then tested by LLMD, and results "lit up like a Xmas tree" (his words). Ticks can carry around 16 diseases that we can get.

It infects way more people and is just as pernicious in the end. I'd say that it's at least just as bad, it's just played down by insurance companies, CDC etc.. I'm fucking 31 and I can't even wax my car or mow the lawn. I'm basically bed ridden most of the time. It fucking sucks, and I can't get help. At least people with HIV can get help, and have doctors actually willing to help them.

[@angelsabundance9274]

do you have a great video like this explaining how babesiosis affects the human body? also, I'd like to know if you have insight on breast implants (or any human adjuvants) on how they affect our immune systems. I know they also put out neurotoxins. biofilms/scar tissue form around them causing similar symptoms to lyme and coinfections

[@kimhughston5508]

i transmitted lyme disease and co infections to my husband. I also passed it to my children. be catous when reading information on line regrading lyme disease.if the source is the FDA, CDC or IDSA

I am a biologist, please tell me if it is real, did you family contracted it , please I must know for sure.

[@jennifercraine2972]

Kim Hughston me too. It IS transmitted through the placenta. Lyme is no joke!

[@telutalo]

This video just explains what Lyme disease is.We still don't get the right information what to take ,where to go to get the right treatment.I have been treated for antibiotics,parasite meds for 6 months along with homeopathic and herbal supplements for 6 more months. Antibiotic is just the beginning of a very long ,painful journey. I was an athlete and had signs of tennis elbow,knee pain ,shoulder pain but I always blamed it on overtraining. This chronic Lyme disease is my worst nightmare .As

Elaine: I am interested in the information please.

[@emmjay2662]

By contrast, HIV patients have a red carpet rolled out for them; compassion, acknowledgement, inclusion, care, understanding, resources, support, a myriad of treatment options, oh, and then there is the contrast in funding. Several billion dollars. Lyme patients get next to nada. It's tragic and a huge failure of our current medical system(s) / community. Hence, I wish I had HIV instead of lyme disease.

[@guessqtie]

@BreakerOfBoxes I would be interested to read those case studies - where can I find them?

[@ExtraLymey]

@callednchosen i think you are a little misguided when it comes to the m obey issue. Many LLMD has to take cash instead of taking insurance due to the fact insurance companies hunt them down for treating lyme to shut them down after suing them for malpractice. the amount they charge isn't much at all comparing to any of your regular drs. they actually charge more than LLMD for a follow up appointment you have at your PCP or specialist. The only difference you never see the amount since it gets submitted directly to your insurance.

[@ciarasmith7360]

How does each treatment physically affect the borreliosis spirochete? Does it prevent it from changing its antigen? Also, how does each treatment affects the borreliosis spirochete itself?

[@JohnnyX1239]

That's tough news to swallow, since I've been on an 11 month antibiotic treatment for Bartonella (lyme co-infection) According to my house doctor this treatment should have killed the bartonella, but he could be wrong...after this my specialist made me get a blood test for actual Lyme disease (boreliosis) I don't know what to believe anymore to be honest, opinions all differentiate too much

[@thehanbag]

hey! i was wondering if someone could help me here? so for 6 years i have bin vary sick but all canadain doctors have refused to help me they all say there is no such thing as lymes and im just crazy but all friends and family know this is not true the doctors also said i had a perfect heart till i had sergery on it. but that aside we are going to floriday to get it treated we hope. my main question can those worm things dig into your eye and cuz damage? iv had a blind spot for 5 years now.

[@ecftube]

I think this video has some good info....but my Lyme specialist treats with antibiotics and he has a well thought out plan of attack. I believe he is light years ahead of many Lyme- literate doctors. Also, he is one of the few Lyme doctors that is an infectious disease specialist as well.

[@mikecarey1990]

Antibiotics only lower the symptoms so that you can live with the disease.

[@stevelahr6063]

I have a couple of friends with lymes. Thanks for your input.

[@drcfrb]

TO JOHNKANEJK: thats called a herx reaction and means the lyme is being addressed. The symptoms get worse. The other disease with spiroketes that reacts the same way is Syphilis. So its par for the course. Keep treating the lyme, but know that a herx reaction means its doing its work! It might take a while to get better, but hang in there. Wishing you all the best! In reference to this video: This video was an advertisement under the guise of information-giving.

[@suzlwilliams]

Not everybody gets better, some even get worst with treatment. And most bio-molecular physiologists don't even think it can really be totally cured without leaving behind dormant spirochetes that can someday reinfect you. But advertising that fact to sick people gives them no hope. But I did get better for now. Thank you Ginger.

[@dennis35791]

@ecftube who is the doctor? I am looking for information about my dog he is a chihuahua and has lyme disease. He has been on amoxicillin for just over a day now. He got his first dose friday night and its now sunday afternoon and he is still limping and very tired. He was limping in his right back leg now he is limping in his left back leg and it seems to still very weak in his right back leg still. It is making me so nervous for the little guy. He only weighs almost 12lbs.

[@AvisChampion]

Lyme disease blows my mind tbh, how this can affect someone so much in this day and age is beyond me, surely is a act of Lucien in my eyes.

[@freedomchaser2402]

i got bitten by a tick last year and developed a red rash with white ring surrounding it 4 days later at the bite mark, also similar rashes up my back. i didnt know what it was so ignored it until i saw a picture of the lymes disease rash. went to doctor and he sent away for a blood test which came back negative so no further action was taken. yet their test is not 100% accurate....does anyone know of anything else that can cause erythra migrans?

[@mikecarey1990]

Excuse me! Doctors don´t have a clue, and can only treat the symptoms with drugs, which is sorcery and do not work.

[@charlesh1]

Good video.

[@manualhispano]

But to treat babesia you still need to give anthelmintics to be able to control it; it is like having a terrible malaria and treating it just with immune boosters; Ivermectin has been found to be the best to treat for Lyme and yes your recommendations as a complement!

[@jensjens1997]

i remember all the simptons i was in the last part of lyme the hardest there 3 faces i was in the last one and it paralyzes body parts its not fun when u realise ure leg is paralysed. loads of ppl say u need to get an red circel if its was an tik etc. to be infected with lyme but its only 45% ul get an red cirkel dont let the doctors fool you and directly do an blood test! (sorry for my bad english)

[@ChrisTopheRaz]

I would like to know if they are using pulse dosing with antibiotics. From what I've read it's something that is in testing still but effect because Lyme will lie dormant and rise again continuously which is why the common 4-6 week antibiotic dosing isn't a long term solution and not as effective in irradiating the spirochete.

[@EnvitaMedicalCenter]

We don't do pulse dosing, but what we focus on is biofilm stripping. Normally the Lyme spirochete will go into hiding to evade antibiotics and the immune system by forming biofilm communities. We have specialized treatments which strip the biofilm making it harder for the spirochetes to evade antibiotics and the immune system.

[@ChrisTopheRaz]

***** Thank you, I've learned about that since my last comment/question. That would make sense as well because the biofilm community the spirochete form, is one reason for why it was initially believed that pulse dosing was an answer to that. Am I correct? I'd like to learn more on how that biofilm is being broken down and how successful this treatment is.

[@dezertraider]

Xquisitaz,,,Very very good question,These folks seem to be on the ball and talk about the 28?Day cycle.....I have been refused treatment due to not testing positive for there BS test.If you go to Great Cape herbs,Stephone is a really cool cat and he can help.Good luck 73s,,,,kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWrEXmWEl5emmM0

@spartan18458 You're wrong. Lyme can be spread person to person and mother to fetus.

[@microgers12]

Can this be the cause of Lupus? Thx

[@brianebner5156]

Eleven months straight? My LLMD utilizes a "pulse therapy"--two months on, two months off (usually using a homeopathic remedy when not taking abx) along with supplements to combat the bugs and bolster my immune system. This is supposed to kill the active bugs w/o too much damage from overuse of abx. Being treated for 4 tick-related diseases (confirmed through his labs & labs at Columbia tick-borne research center) hitting 1 at a time, since no 1 abx will get them all. For what it's worth.

[@cuervoisfaithful]

I have been sick for 6 1/2 about 7 years! I am so sick of being sick. I have lost my life, I went on antibiotics but I am in relapse now because the therapy was not aggressive enough for late stage,,,,,

ticks are not insects they are arachnids (arachnids have eight legs, insects have six)

[@RoseSheeps]

I found the diagrams at the end of the video, and the oversimplification of the immune response really confusing - maybe you should consider changing the narrative? But I liked your twisty Borrelia burgdorferi :-)

Ah no,sorry, I'm wrong, I've done this technique also. I took 2 months antibitics, then stopped for a while, took probiotics and homeopathic stuff, like vitamins etc. I'm afraid I might die...I've also gone through a benzo withdrawal and my body feels like dying sometimes. I got the results and I don't have lyme's disease, only bartonella co-infection..but I'm almost sure that I also have something else, maybe it's just vaccine damage. I took swine flu shot and I hear some bad things about it.

[@Carabin33fr]

Hi. No.. Lyme does not cause Lupus. Presentations are fairly different. It's pretty hard to confuse both of them.

[@drcfrb]

[@murf751]

The graphics are great but the figures in their charts come from where? The reason for relapse is insufficient length of treatment. 6 weeks is just NOT enough and sometimes multiple courses are needed. Don't bash antibiotics. Plaquenil also helps them work better. Lots of ppl making $ off lyme patients by questionable methods who bash antibiotics.

pardon my french but depending on were you live the doctors won't give a rats a** about Lyme, they'll say it's in your head, your crazy or say it's something else, I've had it for 3 years and I already have enough story for an auto-biography

Great points, however, regarding your first comment, just because you can do free research on the interweb doesn't mean that it's valid. Remember, anyone can post anything online--consider the source. There are more cat turds than gold nuggets online.

@guessqtie What? You gotta be kidding me. It's a cousin to Syphillis, it doesn't take an Einstein to figure out it can be transmitted sexually.

[@dudbstr295]

@rowansart Interesting, if it is not sexually transmitted then why does my spouse has the exact same infections (at a lower level) as I do, Lyme, Ehrliciosis and Babesia. Bit by the same tick? Even after 2 years of antibotics, I still have the disease, but it is at a lower level. And I feel way better.

[@SHER7067]

I got my LYME from a BLOOD TRANSFUSION!!! I had surgery and needed blood. So you better think twice before you get a blood transfusion. They don't test for lyme when they donate blood. If they did it still may say there is no lyme.

[@klattalexis]

@babyboom58 T. pallidum spirochetes grow in moist scabs on superficial ulcers (chancres), and are thus transmitted by sexual contact through genital or oral mucosal abrasions. B. burgdorferi spirochetes cannot survive on the surface of the skin or genital mucosa, only deeper within the dermis . Unlike T. pallidum, B. burgdorferi can be cultivated in vitro.
