New research may reveal why Lyme disease causes chronic symptoms for some

According to a new CDC study, a particular immune system marker may be why some people experience lingering symptoms after being diagnosed with Lyme disease. NBC News’ Dr. Natalie Azar explains what researchers know about the protein interferon alpha and the challenges behind diagnosing Lyme disease.

I had Lyme in the 90's when I lived in Western New York, after a trip to Eastern New York where I did some hiking in the woods. I had the flu-like illness for a few days. I had the bullseye rash. My primary symptom was severe heartburn about a month later. My doctor started treating me for an ulcer. While I was in the waiting room for a follow-up appointment I read an article in a magazine about Lyme showing a picture of the rash. I took the magazine to the consultation, showed the Dr the picture and told him that I had had this rash just before I had the flu-like episode. Long story short, he refused to believe that I had Lyme Disease. He said that because *he* didn't see the rash, he couldn't accept it as a symptom and he said, "There is no Lyme Disease in New York State". At the time, blood tests were very unreliable so even though I had a positive test he still didn't think that was what I had. I finally found a Lyme specialist north of New York City who agreed to see me. I drove 5 hours each way to see him. After telling him my story and taking a blood sample and examining me he told me to call him in a few days. I went home and called him a few days later after he had my blood test back. He said that he couldn't be sure that I had Lyme Disease, but neither could he be sure that I *didn't* have Lyme disease. He treated me with a long course of antibiotics and my symptoms completely resolved. I was fortunate that I had taken the time and effort to track down a specialist who was open minded enough to listen to the patient and to recognize that he didn't have all the answers. I wish I could remember his name, although that was almost 30 years ago.

I had chronic Lyme Disease for 4 years. Every few months I had flu symptoms and the pain would settle in a different joint. American doctors and insurance companies WILL NOT recongnize chronic Lyme disease, as the insurance companies do not want to be liable for paying for it. I was on a waiting list for 2 years to see a specialist at Tufts. My doctor refused to give me more antibiotics. The only time to truly test for Lyme disease is in the middle of the night, as that is when it is most active in your blood. All other tests come out negative for Lyme. I did all of my research in Europe. In the meantime, I started taking oregano pills (a natural antibotic). I took 9 per day for the first few days and then gradually went down to 2 a day. I took them for about a year, and It finally went away.

I had the rash and the flu like symptoms. It makes sense once I knew what it was. For almost a decade I was treated for treatment resistant depression. I finally said that I think something is wrong with my immune system, got a bunch of autoimmune testing done, they stuck the lyme disease tests in there, and that was the only thing that came up a strong positive! Since getting doxycycline, it took about 6 months for my antibodies to go down and my psychiatric symptoms to go into remission. My psychiatrist was even considering ECT or ketamine, because I tried almost everything else. I thought the bullseye rash was the strangest mosquito bite I ever saw, I remembered telling my mom about it after I was camping. Then it all started making more sense. I hope you feel better soon! I think lyme disease should be considered before a psychiatric diagnosis like schizoaffective disorder is made. That is a pretty serious diagnosis.

The standard of care set by the IDSA 2006 Lyme disease guidelines is one of medical neglect of persons suffering from chronic Lyme disease. However, such guidelines are indeed useful. They serve to shield from liability physicians who neglect persons with chronic Lyme disease. By misusing CDC case surveillance criteria as the sole basis for a clinical diagnosis of Lyme disease, these guidelines serve the insurance industry very well indeed because such cases represent but the tip of the iceberg of actual cases of Lyme disease, whether acute or chronic. Denial of the possibility of seronegative Lyme disease, likewise serves the insurance industry well and also such simplistic constructs for Lyme disease also serve those physicians who cannot wrap their minds around the true complexity of this illness.T The medical profession and the United States Public Health Service, predecessor to the CDC, have a long history of medical neglect of persons suffering from spirochetal infection. The profession and the USPHS were completely unable to reform themselves from within in this regard. It required moral and political intervention from without to bring the Tuskegee Experiment to an end with Senator Edward Kennedy’s hearings in February and March, 1973 before Committee of Labor and Public Welfare’s Sub-Committee on Health (Jones JH. Bad Blood: the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment - a tragedy of race and medicine. The Free Press. New York. 1981 pp. 213). The Tuskegee Experiment involved about 400 subjects. Lacking the taint of racism, nonetheless the “mainstream” handling of chronic Lyme disease affects far more people; it would be a fair estimate to say, Tuskegee X 10,000 in the United States alone. Furthermore, the standards held out by the CDC and the IDSA have worldwide influence. Canadians are unable to get care for chronic Lyme disease. We are seeing significant numbers of persons with chronic Lyme disease forced to leave Canada for care. State legislators have begun taking matters into their own hands and the states of Rhode Island, Connecticut, California, New York, Massachusetts and Minnesota have passed laws or promulgated policies protecting physicians who treat persons with chronic Lyme disease. Are these legislators stupid? Are they dupes of Lyme activists? Or can they see what is so obvious to the patients and to any good clinician, that Lyme disease can be a chronic infection that often requires a long-term treatment approach? Furthermore, as the disease spreads and more and more individuals are affected, legislator’s staffers, their wives, their children and they themselves are experiencing the effects of chronic Lyme disease. In the fullness of time, the mainstream handling of chronic Lyme disease will be viewed as one of the most shameful episodes in the history of medicine because elements of academic medicine, elements of government and virtually the entire insurance industry have colluded to deny a disease.

[@adamatherton8562]

About 8 years ago I contracted Lyme disease and was told I was one of the worst cases doctors had seen in over a decade. I had several blood tests which came back negative but later it was found in the spinal fluid. Up until then I was viewed as the symptoms all being in my head. Doctors said it was too late for me to have antibiotics and so I would have to heal on my own. It took 8 months for me to completely eradicate the painful symptoms and another 6 months to build myself up again. How I did it was all about chemistry. It's simple, no bacteria can survive in an alkaline environment. Most people's blood is acidic due to high levels of sugar. So all I did was stop eating sugar, ate only vegetables and drank hot lemon every day. Hot lemon is one of the fastest ways to make your blood alkaline based. As soon as your blood becomes alkaline, instead of acidic, all bacteria starts to die out. This causes pain in the body because when bacteria dies it releases poison in the blood. However, if you drink much water you will start to pee out the poison faster and this will reduce the pain. Good luck. If you do this you cant fail. It's just chemistry.

[@philipmcniel4908]

The sugar thing makes sense, since most bacteria thrive on sugar (which is why we normally use some sort of sugar to "feed" bacteria when we culture them on an agar plate in a biology lab). I would like to clear up a misconception: Anything that you think works because of blood acidity or alkalinity, likely actually works for some other reason. A lot of people talk about ways to make your blood more alkaline or less acidic, but the truth is that your blood is buffered by a few different systems in your body so that it stays slightly alkaline at all times (with a pH of 7.35-7.45). In other words, when you eat foods that would make your bloodstream more alkaline or acidic, it "corrects," whether by adjusting your rate of breathing, releasing more or less bicarbonate into your bloodstream, etc., so that your blood stays within that range. This is important because if it gets too far outside that range _on either end_ you end up with some pretty severe symptoms such as confusion, dizziness, muscle tremors, etc. Sometimes your body's attempt to regulate blood acidity with rate of breathing can become a symptom itself, causing either fast or slow breathing. Fortunately, most people do not have this problem; it mainly shows up when there's some other problem causing it.

[@adamatherton8562]

@@philipmcniel4908 Thanks for the info - from what you say I can now understand why my symptoms were reduced slowly over time. The blood regulating itself to have an even ph number makes sense. I have a feeling that when my blood became higher in alkaline it was then that it killed off some of the Lyme bacteria but not all because my blood would have regulated back again. And so it went on like that until the lyme bacteria was out numbered by my immune system. The problem with Lyme disease is that it hides from the immune system making it very difficult to defeat. I lost count of how many books I read on the disease but it was only after reading a book by Prof Buhener who used body chemistry defeat his own Lyme disease that I found a way to defeat it. I simply copied his process of using certain herbs and a special diet. Doctors told me I would probably be in a wheel chair for the rest of my life so I am eternally grateful for Prof Buehner's work.

[@Pou1gie1]

When ppl first complained to doctors about what is now known as Lyme disease they were told their symptoms were psychosomatic, essentially that is all in their head. It took decades before the CDC actually accepted it as a real illness. This drove a lot of people to not talk about having symptoms or go to the doctor because you were immediately labeled as crazy. This has also happened with other diseases, like Morgellans, which in 2009 was finally considered a real medical illness. Prior to the CDC accepting an illness as real, no one is studying it or taking it serious in terms of treatments or cures, so having the CDC recognize an illness is pivotal to the lives of those suffering with these unknown illnesses.

My new meme: All of The Above. Inflammation that fake word that they throw around is an IMMUNE RESPONSE. Chronic inflammation is also lumped with autoimmunity both of which are responses to antibiotics creating 8 different cell wall deficient morphologies but CURING NOTHING.

Yes the video is still missing the point. Its not just an ongoing immune response, its a persistent ongoing infection. Ive witnessed this myself, even have made videos that i posted on my yt channel that clearly show this. The fact that they cant wrap their heads around this simple concept is just baffling.

[@vaccinefraud5570]

​@@_S13_ I just subbed. Since the advent of clinical medicine no one knows how to destroy a spirochete. They adopt 8 different forms for evasion, so my theory is that unless you hit them with 9 different remedies at the same time to take out all stages you are just playing Whack-A-Mole. So, we examine what I just said: NO ONE since 1900 AD knows how to kyll these things, but they knew back then that even the arsenic, mercury and antimony merely turned them into stealth cell wall deficient forms. Therefore it's not that they can't wrap their heads around it - they KNOW that a Buy Yo We Upon was released in the 1940s. They can't put the Genii back in the bottle. ALL of their efforts are failing. So they hold out the "new research!" and "verge of an answer!" B.S. to keep their victims in a state of perpetual anticipation that something will get better when it can never get better until what I just outlined is arrived at. On top of the 9 remedy approach everyone STILL needs to destroy the filarial worms (Alan MacDonald) that carry the spirochetes inside of them as they bore into the spinal fluid swim up to the brain and unload their neuroborelliosis that is 'another mystery' to these disinfo agents. My most important videos on this topic were removed probably because they were the only truth out there.

There is no known cure for spirochetal disease. I've got the best minds working on it. There are palliatives that work for some but not others. Here's what I posted above in the main comments: More lying Id eye Otts covering for a Pahn Day Mik that is worse that anything anyone is currently being phear phorned into reacting to. It was known in the year 1900 that antibiotics NEVER got rid of ANY disease and it was confirmed by Lida Mattman (now deceased) that the poisons merely create Cell Wall Deficient forms (8 different morphologies) so that with syphilis, lyme, leptospirosis, TB, or leprosy the SYMPTOMS *MAY* go away but the causative agent NEVER DID. Ever. You all are living the aftermath of that LIE. Mel Thornberg (now deceased) said that at best doxycycline *MIGHT* afford some protection from prion formation because it transforms the cell wall competent form to any of the 8 cell wall deficient form and in SOME people the SYMPTOMS might go away but the beast can re-assemble from any of the 8 different morphologies to give what is falsely called a re-currence or re-infection or re-activation. All that antibiotics do is turn people into asymptomatic CARRIERS which is how this got spread worldwide without even requiring ticks from Plum Island. Europe is finally acknowledging that it is spreadable by ALL HUMAN BODY FLUIDS. The use of the word: INFLAMMATION shows that whoever uses it is either at total fuul or purposely spreading disinformation. Inflammation happens under two conditions: tissue injury (which always comes with the introduction of a pathogen as well) and INFECTION. Inflammation is NOT a separate undefined disease or condition or syndrome. Inflammation is an IMMUNE RESPONSE even if it is to the stealth organisms created by Id eye Otts that give antibiotics to something that has NO KNOWN WAY OF DEE STROYING IT. THE REASON IT SHOWS UP IN THE BRAIN (we have Dr. Alan MacDonald to thank for this) is that filarial worms that came in from a tickbite transport the spirochetes inside of it through the cerebral spinal fluid to offload the migrant workers like a coyote emptying a schoolbus once it crosses the border. That is why parasite elimination is essential to mitigating neuroborelliosis. "Markers" and "Genes" and any other nonsense to cover for this out of control threat to hu-manity are purposeful disinformation to keep you from looking at the Millie Tarry We Upon that got away from them and with which they cannot recall despite the use of Glyphosate (patented in 2010 as an 'antibiotic') or any other HUMAN DRUG.

I had a tick bite and the doctor gave me a 2 week course of doxicyclene. Unfortunately neither the doctor nor the pharmacist told me that you must not take any milk with it because milk renders it ineffective. I got a very nasty rash on my hip and quite bad joint pain. I didn't fancy trying the doctor again so I managed to get hold of a 5 week course of doxicyclene and took it 2 hours after a meal and 2 hours before anything else, after 4 weeks my hip was still sore but after 5 weeks the problems had gone. I was lucky, if I had left it to the doctors I could now be a cripple or worse.

The female deer tick is the one that causes the disease.

[@goodun2974]

​@@jak3589 , here in the northeast US, deer ticks ( which feed on mice in their tiny nymph stage) are the primary Lyme carrier, but other tick species can sometimes carry Lyme. Additional, less common tickborne diseases found here are erlichiosis, babesiosis, anaplasmosis, tularemia and rocky mountain spotted fever. Climate change is causing migration and spreading of species and diseases that previously weren't found here. The longhorn tick is a recent arrival to the region and can cause a severe lifelong allergy to eating meat. Rodents in particular are a major vector for many formerly "exotic" diseases. A man died of hantavirus in Long Island New York a few years ago after sweeping out his garage where evidently mice had been nesting. Hantavirus is a usually fatal respiratory disease (there's no treatment or cure) transmitted in dried mouse urine and which is endemic to the Southwest, especially after El Nino events where the desert blooms and the rodents population swells, but it had never before been found in the northeast.....there is bubonic plague in the west and southwest as well, carried by prairie dogs and other rodents, and I have to wonder how long it'll be before the plague spreads to here.....

It's been pretty obvious for a while now that chronic lyme is an autoimmune issue. Good to see them further this and r/o active infection. BUT...what is going on with the immune system? Sounds like we are in the second inning for figuring this one out. We have a ton of immune work to do in general for a lot of these emerging autoimmune issues..

[@invinciblepatinka1735]

From what I've read, researchers say Lyme could trigger and autoimmune response but others are less committed to that.

[@vaccinefraud5570]

what I posted above to diatribe on the autoimmune aspect: More lying Id eye Otts covering for a Pahn Day Mik that is worse that anything anyone is currently being phear phorned into reacting to. It was known in the year 1900 that antibiotics NEVER got rid of ANY disease and it was confirmed by Lida Mattman (now deceased) that the poisons merely create Cell Wall Deficient forms (8 different morphologies) so that with syphilis, lyme, leptospirosis, TB, or leprosy the SYMPTOMS *MAY* go away but the causative agent NEVER DID. Ever. You all are living the aftermath of that LIE. Mel Thornberg (now deceased) said that at best doxycycline *MIGHT* afford some protection from prion formation because it transforms the cell wall competent form to any of the 8 cell wall deficient form and in SOME people the SYMPTOMS might go away but the beast can re-assemble from any of the 8 different morphologies to give what is falsely called a re-currence or re-infection or re-activation. All that antibiotics do is turn people into asymptomatic CARRIERS which is how this got spread worldwide without even requiring ticks from Plum Island. Europe is finally acknowledging that it is spreadable by ALL HUMAN BODY FLUIDS. The use of the word: INFLAMMATION shows that whoever uses it is either at total fuul or purposely spreading disinformation. Inflammation happens under two conditions: tissue injury (which always comes with the introduction of a pathogen as well) and INFECTION. Inflammation is NOT a separate undefined disease or condition or syndrome. Inflammation is an IMMUNE RESPONSE even if it is to the stealth organisms created by Id eye Otts that give antibiotics to something that has NO KNOWN WAY OF DEE STROYING IT. THE REASON IT SHOWS UP IN THE BRAIN (we have Dr. Alan MacDonald to thank for this) is that filarial worms that came in from a tickbite transport the spirochetes inside of it through the cerebral spinal fluid to offload the migrant workers like a coyote emptying a schoolbus once it crosses the border. That is why parasite elimination is essential to mitigating neuroborelliosis. "Markers" and "Genes" and any other nonsense to cover for this out of control threat to hu-manity are purposeful disinformation to keep you from looking at the Millie Tarry We Upon that got away from them and with which they cannot recall despite the use of Glyphosate (patented in 2010 as an 'antibiotic') or any other HUMAN DRUG. There's your "Top Story" that will never be covered by media or medisin because they are all in on the millie tarry coverup.

I walk my three dogs on local trails every day. I tuck my pants legs into my socks and spray the socks and sneakers with bug repellent (strong DEET formulas will work but permethrin, made from marigolds, is better; it paralyzes ticks and is safe for application on digs and humans). My dogs have light colored fur and white feet and so even tiny ticks tend to be easily visible on them. I'll typically find two or three ticks on each dog when we're out walking (on one occasion it was a dozen plus ticks on each dog and on myself). When we get home,, I strip off my clothes and put them in the dryer while I check myself for hitchhikers. The dogs all get chewable flea and tick meds but those only work on ticks after the ticks start to feed, and since one of our dogs likes to nap on our laps, transfer of a tick from dog to human is a possibility. Ticks love our moist sweaty areas, and I plucked a freshly attached tick from my sensitive nether regions just last week, after the dog and I napped together.
