The Biology of Lyme Disease: An Expert's Perspective (Part 1 of 3)

[@KathleenJean53]

Lyme is one of the most complicated pathogens the human race has come up against. It can be a syndrome of multiple infections and each patient can have different responses, different gene issues, different and delicate outcomes. The people investigating and caring about patient outcomes are true heroes. They care about our wrecked lives. This man cares. This man gives me hope.

[@albertdagostino7164]

Every Lyme's patient should watch this video. He gives more info than any 10 compromised doctors give. As a pathologist, I would hold his knowledge above ALL doctors who basically stop learning after graduating med school.

[@ADRSupport]

I agree, Albert. He's so smart and dedicated. And mostly retired!

[@nancyspires2379]

Wonderful work hopefully I can find someone to help me ! Wish all medical staff cared as much as you do.

[@maureenjones1122]

I have a friend whose sister is 38 years old. They have just institutionalized her with a diagnosis of dementia. The doctors just gave her a one to one and a half year life expectancy. This started a year ago. I myself am a 20 year late stage Lyme disease survivor. I fought for 10 years to get an accurate diagnosis! Then 3 rounds of IV Rocephin antibiotics on and of for two years. I still have relapse and remissions. I believe she has Lyme Disease too!

[@blackwaterfrog]

Dr. Jerry Tennant say we all have it.

[@avontiffany]

I have chronic Lyme but no diagnosis so no help. Can’t work. I’m a hairstylist and I can no longer move my right hand as it’s completely numb due to the attack on my nervous system. My spine has been attacked, I can’t stand up straight. My memory is going. I just need help, no insurance & can no longer work. I feel discouraged.

[@barbarasmith4560]

The same no diagnosis no help. I'm suffering everyday. Been really sick the last 14 months. I'm 54

[@melancholia2780]

About 15 years ago my Grandfather was diagnosed with dementia, which eventually led to a very fast decline. The hook to the story is that my Grandfather was a keen gardener+forest work (for over 25 years) in an area that is notorious for ticks in south Germany. Back in the days, people just laughed if they were bitten by a tick. As a kid and young adult , I also was often bitten by ticks in the same area and ended up 20 years later with RR-MS… I was tested for Lyme (differential diagnosis to MS) and came out positive for Lyme IgG-antibodys.Neuroborreliosis was still excluded, due to a higher antibody index in my Serum in contrast to my Cerebrospinal fluid which also turned out positive for Lyme IgG-antibodys.So eventually the Doctors told me that my IgG-antibodys were not produced in my brain but rather passively passed my Blood-brain barrier. Nevertheless the whole story is somehow peculiar.

[@iowabettyg]

Alan, a huge thank you for doing these 3 videos and to Richard Longland, of the ADR foundation, who produced, Edited, and Posted these Videos for Public Education for us all! these are well done with good audio, visual, and the content ... we all learn so much from you. may you continue having GOOD HEALTH/HAPPINESS from this IOWAN fan, bettyg, lyme activist

[@DontstayfallenVM]

What an amazing man to dedicate so much of his time to discovering all he can about Borreliosis or Lyme disease allowing all who are afflicted by it to understand it better and fight it all the better too!!!

[@NaillCronley]

The amount of information that Dr MacDonald conveys in the video is just amazing and so well explained that even I could follow it. I highly recommend watching it right through, even if you have to take a break.

[@thepathwechoose]

All doctors should be as focused and open minded as Dr MacDonald Thanks to him for all he does, believing in us Lyme Patients YOU'RE a treasure DR M ! I'm in Canada *Toronto and we have NO doctors here to help. I've been sick and homebound for years. Just knowing that others believe us is a step ahead, very slowly. Thank you.

[@maopaobrown4190]

Dr. Alan MacDonald your are truly a beautiful and wonderful person. As a male 28 that was treated for Lyme with oral antibiotics 3 years ago I see that these bacteria are not killed in one go. I was extremely lucky and got a bullseye rash and reacted positive to the blood test so I was "treated", but three years later there are still problems. My grandmother 90 has Alzheimers and you have given me hope and a direction in which to continue. Love you

Thanks Betty for your kind words. BTW, my non-profit is Arthroplasty Patient Foundation. We are focused on the root causes of degenerative diseases -- ones primarily caused by "sub-clinical" infections.

[@tunnelportterror]

I can't believe those SOB's refused to publish the info, that Lyme is related to Alzeimers. - because it may provoke anxiety- well it SHOULD provoke anxiety. then people will carefully remove their clothing, wash it, check themselves carefully while showering for any ticks, after spending time in the outdoors. this disease is highly dangerous and very difficult to eradicate, and the warning is being softened up so no one really takes is too seriously- until it happens to them. this is front page info.

[@samaria9978]

You would think there is actually a conspiracy to hide the truth about Lyme. In Canada we know there is a Lyme epidemic. Sadly, there is no effective treatment. Faulty tests. Drumming doctors out of their practice for prescribing long-term antibiotics. Google: MacLean's magazine article: Lyme epidemic 2014. I firmly believe that Lyme is causing many neurological illnesses. See the MacLean's article for proof.

[@lou-nc4rc]

If this is the test the journal uses for deciding what to print, then they would not be printing much because many medical things cause anxiety. Seems like they would find it hard to say such nonsense with a straight face.

[@trebelclef]

I emailed the person who filmed this and he said that it was an incorrect diagnosis and that he is fine. Glad to hear that.

[@maggieterrero-hill9287]

Amazing info...Thanks you Dr for helping humanity ...and being an RN with Lyme disease..which has been ignored cause not ever 5 bands only 3 or 4 or 2 over a 10 year period.I have never understood how any medical person that has taken infectious disease 101 and know Syphilis is a spirochete and has 3 stages of infection in body and the end stage is madness how can they possibly ignore this...they must be in a twilight zone of the allopathic egotistical delusion that they really are honoring the Hippocratic oath while allowing many people suffer and die of a treatable disease early on if they would even acknowledge it!...I am a Hospice nurse in the nursing home realm and I can tell you the people there are infected with some type of lyme,mycoplasma,bartonella ..cause drooling ,dystonia and dying brains is not normal aging!....how can we let this happen again to another whole generation??

[@cinderellalifestyle]

I believe my Dad has suffered the effects for years, of tick related infection, (perhaps since birth or early childhood) and is now in a tertiary state. Hearing loss over the course of 30 years, heart fibrillation, fluctuating high blood pressure, eye pressure, eye blindness in one eye (Sept 2013) and visual auras, Bells Palsy, reoccurring low grade fevers, severe vertigo, audio/visual hallucinations, bladder dysfunction, and now, his mental capabilities are getting quite bad--that has been gradual, and the most subversive of symptoms. Reasoning affected as much as 11 years ago or longer....He is 93. I have brought this up with his physicians as his helper,and now 24/7 caregiver ( past 11 years living in home and helping), his exposure level and that of his parents is high, both sides of family, my Mom too. Brought this up with all his doctors....not a single one suggested testing or took me seriously. One completely ignored me (eye specialist), another giggled and got nervous (primary), one rolled his eyes in sarcasm (cardio doc) The VA doctor took "notes" --hey, I'm in the notes, too! "Daughter seems preoccupied with Lyme disease, etc" I've spent 3 years in quite a substantial amount of research and reading, layman style, and think moreover, these bacteria could be generational...all my kin , farmers, and coming form Europe from 1700's onward could have been "carriers" I know enough health history going back on both sides that could well point to tick caused infectious bacterial health maladies . I have also come to the conclusion that autopsy, might be the best most solid "proof" of all. Also believe it is not new at all...been here forever, and is perhaps named the typical health woes, we know so well affecting brain, eyes, lungs, joints, and so on. Nothing but the utmost respect for Dr. MacDonald.

[@ADRSupport]

So sorry, Cinderella. Unfortunately, I saw a similar process with my Dad before he passed. This ugly epidemic is truly a societal problem that is still so strangely obfuscated. That's why I am honored to have published this video. Have you seen parts 2 and 3?!

[@joelleenbeangh2158]

Hipocratcy hippocratic oath should be discarded.

[@samaria9978]

Hi Cinderella. I am also sorry for what has happened to your dad. My mom went the same way. I had no idea she had borrelia. But, I have Lyme, so when I saw tat she had the same symptoms as me I began to wonder. It wasn't until recently that I connected the dots. This brilliant Dr. MacDonald's work helped me see the truth. But, what about me? I guess I will end up like mom eventually if I don't find an effective alternative protocol. The borrelia is quite transmissible as it can be passed on easily to the fetus or through saliva, tears and bodily fluids. I feel like a ticking time bomb, personally.

[@BorreliaStudent]

I have captured Borrelia Burgdorferi burrowing into one of my White Blood Cells (WBC) in this video.

Bless you!

[@hippokonder]

Fantastic video, but I can't confirm the good test methods used in Europe, we struggle hard here to get properly tested. Even with a positive test we have to fight to get responsibly treated.

[@katinamakris9567]

Thank you Dr MacDonald for your dedication, brilliant hard work and beautiful eloquence on a very critical subject.

[@cyrusharley9223]

Because I thought I had lyme (diagnosed by natural Dr)the hospital (Sanford in ND) diagnosed me with numerous mental illnesses and tried to have me committed. They based it on ridiculous number of lies- that they did get caught in, refused to allow me to see my medical records, said biofilm did not exist, tried to keep me from any outside contact ( restricting phone use), owned my lawyer who refused to get my med records or allow me any witnesses, and were going to court mandate me to be forced medicated before hearing. After leaving I was diagnosed with lyme and babesia through Igenx. And all the above is not even the crazy parts of the story. It was only through a miracle that I could smuggle a letter out to the judge that I was court ordered to be released. Does this happen to others?

[@ADRSupport]

David, it's very difficult to read your writing. If you are referring us to a report, perhaps you can post a website link?

[@Maggieroniandcheese]

Dr Macdonald, My wife is experiencing many symptoms similar to those described in Lyme disease. Her physicians have no answers although Lyme, MS, b12 deficiency, and fibromyalgia have been considered. Her Lyme test seem to be inconclusive although there was some dispute between physicians as to the proper way of reading the results. Can you please tell me what test we should request in regards to Lyme Disease and if you know of any physicians in Florida that specialize in diagnosing and treating Lyme Disease. Thank you any help is greatly appreciated.

[@nancybaumgartner3792]

Test through Igenex, Med Lab, Stony Brook, Galaxy, or Advanced labs. I am not Dr. Mac Donald, but I am a "lyme literate" mental health professional. Go to the ILADS website for a doctor referral - there are a few doctors in Florida who specialize in diagnosing and treating Lyme. All the best to you and your wife.

Nancy Baumgartner that was nice of you! :)

[@coolgirlee]

I was wondering the same thing. In the under our skin documentary at the end it stated that he was diagnosed with a form of alzheimer and that he lost all the memory of his research.

[@LauraHenzeRussell]

I would like to learn more about the interaction of challenges to the immune system, such as mercury and heavy metals poisoning, and how that impacts the ability to fight Lyme. Additionally, how having a couple of low Ig levels since childhood might make it harder to fight Lyme. Is it that some people get it more easily, and/or have a harder time fighting it off after they get it?

[@beckywatt5048]

Laura Henze Russell Have CFS and have. done extensive research on the heavy metals/ candida link,I believe it weakens/ starvation/the body enough for opportunistic infections (latent virus's/polio vaccine)to the host.

[@trebelclef]

Yes, thank you. I believe the documentary Under Our Skin, states at the end of the movie, this issue. I will email them and give them your answer. That is not a particularly new video so I don't know where they got their information

[@samaria9978]

You have been doing wonderful work! This is fascinating information. I find it most interesting that pathologists work has no room for error, as you explained. I believe you are telling the truth, because all of your slides prove what you have been saying and, your work is corroborated by other fine scientists, too. All of us with neurological problems who have been diagnosed with Lyme must do something to eradicate the biolfilm and borrelia. I believe Alzheimer's is caused by borrelia. I believe it is an epidemic. My mom lost her mind gradually. Her brain was full of amyloid plaque. I never knew she had borrelia until now. She was combative and had trigger point rage, was hallucinating to a degree, had nightmares, had hearing aberrations, and finally lost touch with reality. My sister is very much the same way. Just as mom could not handle alcohol, neither can my sister. I have the inability to concentrate, odd hearing, chronic bladder irritation, visual changes, depression, chemical sensitivities, EMF sensitivities, numbness, poor reflexes. POTS. Weakness in my heart. Lumps along my long muscles. On it goes. Mom died 5 months after going into a care home. It was the borrelia all along. Poor mom. Mom lived in her garden all her life. She was given Ciprofloxacin three times for pneumonia which messed up her mind. Possibly those powerful drugs caused a very toxic die-off that she could not handle. Who knows? I sure miss my mom. I am trying not to end up like mom. Thank-you once again for your commitment to the research of borrelia:)

[@singwlkthlne]

Dr. McDonald, just a thank you for such a great video, and that you made it not only to explain this to those of us who already are Victims, but to those out there who don't know they can be a victim, just walking to the mailbox to get the mail! I can't remember the exact words Congressman Chris Gibson used...but to the effect, that a country as big as ours, full of capabilities and beyond, that we can't develop tests and treatment for this major epidemic! The CDC and the IDSA are what? Holding on to faulty Guidelines, for what?, So some "friend" in their tight network can make some money on the account of our suffering? Is this the new America we live in? Dr. McDonald thank you and Dr. Eva Sapi for being TRUE Americans, and being TRUTHFUL!

[@singwlkthlne]

I think I saw a post recently where Dr. McDonald and Eva Sapi have been given more greif in their work...Again I say..Thank you both! And keep at it! Never mind those who someday will need your findings to cure them...And again thanks to the congressmen like Chris Gibson and Senator Gillibrand for trying to get "something" in the works...it for sure is long overdue.....

[@ADRSupport]

Right, but don't forget that many infections work together as "anchor species." Many chronic infections (UTI, sinus, HAI, etc.) include yeasts and fungi, often ignored by clinicians -- which is why so many infections stay chronic. Why patients stay sick!

[@candyrobbins4112]

If I think I have Lyme Disease? I have all symptoms and no one has tested me for it! I'm not getting better and I have so many of these symptoms.

[@gunzrloaded]

You should go to a NRT clinic.With Lyme you most likely are mercury toxic also.You should also see if you have MTHFR gene mutation. Cheers,and God bless to your health...!!

[@Violet_Lotus_]

I just got Lyme. I went straight to an alternative, holistic Lyme expert and skipped the Western docs. There are many stories of people being sent on medical wild goose chases, trying to diagnose Lyme with testing, meanwhile, times-a-wasting. Go to someone who knows all about Lyme. Depending on which part of the country you are in, this may be easier or harder.

[@barbarasmith4560]

Wished I could afford too.

[@lipanj7]

Igenex has a separate 31kda epitope test. If one shows b31 on Igg or Igm on Western Blot even slightly. If checked off the test form Igenex will then kick it over to the 31 epitope test which is a fined tuned breakdown dna etc.to show if one has late state chronic. It is supposed to be 98% specific. 31 & 34 is outer surface protein of the actual spirochete.

Very informative video and also the Borrelias in Europe are afzelli, garinii, valaisiana, bissetti, burgdorferi and who knows how many others. Many of the ticks are loaded with many pathogens and many of those are known chronic infections as well. Rickettsial infections are different world wide as well and in Sweden we see R helvetica and sibirica and here in US we see Rickettsia rickettsii or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.Pathogens are susceptible and resistant to different antibiotics.

[@bekoriko2816]

So if there is a connection between Nematodes/Borrelis and Multiple Sclerosis, how could it be treated? Could antihistamine and anti-parassitic treatment be correct?

[@JacquelineMcIntoshNo1]

In Alan B. MacDonald's later work he confirmed that MS is caused by the bacteria from Lyme disease. London Lecture May 15, 2016 on Vimeo.

[@jasonmarchione9981]

Why cant the Dr just use a microscope and check your blood,fluids, or tissue instead of relying on these useless test?

[@KathleenJean53]

jason marchione As a former microbiologist I am wondering also, why not do microscopic smears, patient blood, fluids, tissue, stain it, look under the microscope, see it, like TB. Well, basic microbiology and lab work seems to be a thing of the past, now called too expensive. Who are they kidding? All these expensive tests and machines that replaced my colleagues can't find the answer. Now as a patient I see just how broken our health care system is and fighting docs who know nothing about Lyme is beyond frustrating.

[@Marbee514]

please please help me! I can swear I have Lyme and doctors keep saying I'm just crazy and depressed please I need a right testing how where? I'm from Michigan I need help.

[@nancycoffman9215]

You can go to www.ilads.org, which is THE best site for ACCURATE information. There is so much false information out there but this one is the real deal! It can help you find a doctor in your area. One called an LLMD, which stands for Lyme Literate Medical Doctor, someone who understands Lyme is not all in your head! Ask for a Lyme test done by Igenex Lab in California. This lab specializes in Lyme and it's co-infections. If you think you have it but test negative, a LLMD will still be able to make an accurate diagnosis based on symptoms. If you go to someone that solely uses the blood test, your wasting your time, move on to an informed doctor. Www.whatislyme.com is also a good site. PLEASE find help. If you have Lyme, it only get worse and once it becomes chronic, your life will never be the same. My daughter is 24 and has been bedridden for the past year. It's a horrible disease. We have not found anyone that has been successful at treating it though we have spent $50,000 + with a few different doctors, one being a world renowned but very expensive. We found a doctor in Germany though that is having great success in getting patients into remission. We are going soon. Take care of yourself !!

[@gunzrloaded]

Hello,have you tried any NRT clinics.That would be nutritional response testing.They can tell if you have Lyme in about 4 seconds,and see what supplements will work for you.Another more expensive treatment would be Dr. Sponaugle. Cheers and God bless on seeking health.Lyme disease is so epidemic you'd almost think they were pouring out of airplanes.I also know Lyme can be had from other insects now.I also know of a woman that got Lyme from her water well.The clinic investigated her property(past owners from an abstract) and found out years before she purchased the property is was an exotic animal farm.The bacteria from all the critters compromised her water well.

Igenex Lab. in Calif. is the best lab left. Altho not 100%...about 98% accurate. In ref to the western Blot test, they include antibodies 34 and 31 which are very specific. these 2 bands were used to make the vaccine which was out on market in the late 90's....the outer surface protein of 31 & 34 used. When vaccine was out on market 31 and 34 were removed from the Western Blot test which is el sicko--if in doubt just ask were you ever vacinated. Some people were getting lyme symptoms from the vaccine. Vaccine was later removed from the market -they lied & said because of poor sales. ANTIBODIES 31 & 34 WAS NEVER PUT BACK INTO THE WESTERN BLOT TEST which is criminal. Less diagnosed less insurance cos have to pay. Igenex lab includes 31 & 34 in their test. You can get the Igenex blood kit by calling toll no. comes w/prepaid label- a dr. has to fill out the upper corner his ID etc. You go to hospital they take blood and send it to Igenex. some hospitals don't participate with Igenex. I have my dr. fill out his info and I check off the tests I want--If you have any questions I can give you my E-mail..

[@charityrocks]

I have been sick for over two years now. I have finally come to the conclusion that I think I have Lyme disease but I cannot even get into a doctor let alone get tested for it. I’m starting to wonder who is getting our doctors attention if it’s not the general public. My friend has has testicular cancer for 2 years also but no one will help him. The medical system is just going to let him die. 😢 Idk who this research is ever going to help if it doesn’t reach the public. The rich people will have access I guess. I’m upper middle class atm. No help for me. My friend is also upper middle class and there is no help for him. Well I guess I wish you the best of luck saving all the super rich folks on the planet. What a great thought. All this money and education from an entire life of a wonderful doctor will never reach or help the public. Is this what motivates doctors? To help absolutely no one with the research they do?

[@charityrocks]

I have also been yelled at by a doctor because of how much money I make. Apparently it’s not fair that I can make more money than a doctor. They think because they save lives they should the richest people on earth. Every doctor needs a Ferrari or it’s not fair to have to save lives. I’m saddened that this is supposed to be the attitude of the people who save lives. I don’t believe any longer that doctors want to save lives. They just enjoy playing god. Which there is no solid scientific evidence even exists. The doctors have a disease called greed now. Makes them not available for being an actual doctor imo.

[@lipanj7]

cont'd -antibody 31. 31 & 34 outer surface protein was used to make vacine promoted by Allan Steere. Practically all labs except Igenex those 2 specific antibodies are removed now from WB. If one wants the 31 epitope test for late stage,it has to be checked off on Igenex form. Will be done if one shows 31 on Igg or Igm WB. Even if equivical. Aprroved on in certain states.

Many of my symptoms are European. acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans, many other skin conditions which in US it now coming out also of 1 is schleroderma. Vasculitis etc. I have history of known tick feedings. Did not know before what a tick was or anything. Was negative basically thru the yrs. but diagnosed with Lyme. According to Igenex protocol I have been positive complete and sometimes pos. on Igg WB and another time IGM. I have been positive on 31KDA epitope test which shows if one has chronic late stage. BB can also cause the skin condition of ACA. Plus B Avzelii which they say is more common in Europe. They have in Europe biopsied from lesions of ACA BBurgdorferi which has to be the same strain as US. Also I will say who is to say BAvzelii is not in the US. Not sure I tht Dr. Harris of Igenex said their tests can pick up protein of Avzelli. IDSA now says Oh we have included treatment for ACA only for those who have recently traveled overseas! Wow. Last time I was in Europe was 1984. Tick bites I got were basically from the field in back of hse and or yard. The most common rash of lyme is not the bulls eye either. It can look like cellulitis, eczema, a bruise, solid red circle etc. They found that out when they injected the recipients of vaccine trial. Also sometimes it can mimic Lupus, anteoderma (1 of my many skin items) lichen schlerosis has been found in biopsy floating microscopy - in ref to some European articles plus also a few in US. We are not saying all cases. Forgot psorasis- misdiagnosed for yrs and was later found to be from borrelia. THE DISEASE MIMICKS AND CAN CAUSE PRACTICALLY EVER DISEASE THERE IS DEPENDING ON ONE'S GENETIC WEAKNESS. Also when the immune system gets so compressed from yrs of fighting the disease, secondary fungals develop. Borrelia has been found in bone marrow biopsy as it can cause different types of anemia. (Journal of Spirochetal & Tick Borne diseases). Also unexplained fractures believe it or not.. It was the most horrible horrible- just came out of the blue like electrical jabs. The pain- could not stand at all. included were 2 fractured ribs. Sacroiliac, pelvic etc. I do not have osteooporosis. Took about a yr to completely heal. Get up in morning and hold on to sink to get over to other side -- the pain, spasms behind legs. Pain so bad esp in morning in fetal position. Told twice by home care to go to ER. That is not normal fractures. When it first happened I got also purple and pink rashes in groins. Also in 1981 in NEJM article on sera negative lyme- authors are the same ones that are promoting this hogwash today that the IDSA-CDC-are promoting. CDC talks from 2 sides of mouth. Say it is a clinical diagnosis yet one has to have positive blood test by their el cheapo (less diagnosed less ins. cos have to pay criteria. It is the most pitiful & sinful situation that is being done to the suffering victims. Certain drs??? in US have also influenced a lot of European drs. to their way of thinking within last several yrs. It used to be called Borrelia infection in Europe for yrs...Now many there are calling it Lyme Disease..What jerks. In US dumb Americans- first discovered by Dr. Willy Burgdorferi the actural bacteria. It is called Lyme d. in US just because it first became known or suspected in Lyme Conn. If it wasn't for Polly Murray- possibly we still wouldn't have known of the infection. Heaven help those on the consulting fee ins. side. I don't think unless the repent they will get any help. There have been deaths. As I lost a loved one due to the terrible incompetence, and much more. Barely treated- evil. The unbelievable pitiful suffering. One time and ID doctor . said Oh you don't die from Lyme Disease. WE ALL HAVE TO DIE AND WE ALL HAVE TO ANSWER TO THE LORD----

I will try to find the article and post the link. I hate disinformation. Thanks.

[@lipanj7]

Thanks, .But odd - incorrect diagnosis.probably.Possibly they now won't say.Could have been from borrelia.That's good tho. He is fine now. He is a very good pathologist. Just a note:Dr.Burgerdorfer working in lab long time ago.Rabbits urine splashed in his eye.He got Lyme but naturally got it right away.He worked at Rocky Mtn lab in Denver. He actually discovered the gern in US. It takes a foreigner to be on top of things. He is from Switzerland. I am sick of Amer hlth care system in general.

No, Dr. MacDonald has neither disease. He's quite healthy and lucid, as you can see for yourself in this video.

[@rowdeo8968]

thank you!

[@jackielsbury9608]

This man it's a genius. I've been sick for years. Now I have the chronic neuro problems. He explains it do well. How can our medical community continue to ignore this!!!! When does the Hippocratic Oath start to kick in. Shane on you medical community, shame on u CDC too b so easily persuaded by the IDS.

[@ashleyl9913]

Great info!

[@ADRSupport]

Yes, I already commented on this last week: "No, Dr. MacDonald has neither disease. He's quite healthy and lucid, as you can see for yourself in this video...."

[@trebelclef]

how old is this video?

[@cinderellalifestyle]

BTW,..Alan McDonald is a HERO in my eyes, for his research. ...my Dad is 91. Exposed to ticks all his life, endemic areas of the Western US are not BLACK as they should be, on the CDC map, due to under reporting....ALL my kin, both sides, going back to Germany, Scotland, Ireland,..highly exposed. Exposed in upper US as farmers for 100s of years.. Health issues on both sides of family, pointing to Borrelia as cause. Not NEW infectious disease, just "unfolding", coming to light..

does igenix have the same problem ? this is confusing cause I tested positive on epitope 31. is that the same fake 31 he is talking about?

[@kevinfitzgerald7474]

Its a complex bacteria and im sure its not just a regular bacteria. This bacteria im sure is stuffed with all kinds of different etiological infections diseases, lipoproteins and environmental illnesses besides the seperate co-infections the ticks inject also.

[@greeneggzine]

My husband is an immunologist and says if you have Lyme, there will be a telltale bull's eye on your skin where you were bitten within several days. HOpe this helps those who need a diagnose. If antibiotics are administered soon enough, you can prevent having this permanently.

[@dawnobannon]

greeneggzine - Not everyone gets a rash.

[@ADRSupport]

greeneggzine I am so sorry your husband is not current on an area where he should be an expert. As you saw in this series (there are three), there are many, many rash types. And as Dawn points out, some times there are no rashes. And what about African-Americans? One young African American man just died of complications from Lyme disease! There is no excuse for the medical profession not being current on these issues. That's why so many patients go undiagnosed!

[@twintextessa]

Really? Not everyone gets the bulls eye rash.. NEW FLASH CDC says no such thing as chronic LYME. They are asleep!

[@dawnobannon]

twintextessa - They are not asleep at the CDC. They are people in high positions with big money, "in bed' with big Pharmicutical. Just think if they couldn't sell MS Drugs anymore cause it leaks out the MS is Lyme or Lupus is Lyme or Arthritis or Memory loss. Just think if they couldn't profit from the drugs they'd loose their Ivory Towers.

[@lipanj7205]

For Tore N Fjelldal, Yes. My thoughts are the chronic inflamation in the brain to fight off the bacteria causes damage to the nerve ending of the brain plus the plaques (amloid) in ref to the damage. The brain is like a big electrical computer and when the nere endings get damaged -the symptoms of alzheimers. One does wonder why are so much more younger people like in the 50's getting alzheimers. To me that is a lot of BS when they say oh in the old days a lot of folks had it but they called it dementia. BS. Alzheimers is so much more now. Not all cases but a lot of cases are from chronic inflamation. Inflamation is the underlying cause of many diseases.

I read that he has Lyme/Alzheimers, which I find suspicious, and that he does not remember his research. I hope that is just a rumor. He kinda makes Barbour and others look silly.

Unfortunately, Dr MacDonald has now come down with Alzheimer's Disease himself and can no longer remember any of his research on Lyme or Alzheimers. Talk about tragic irony.

[@speddie11372]

tragic indeed . :(

[@ADRSupport]

This is not true! Dr. MacDonald is alive, well and productive. He is still doing important research, traveling and lecturing!

[@Lymedin2010]

He was actually initially diagnosed with Fronto-temporal dementia & was not given long to live. Then miraculously it just went away & he is now back in business & ready to collect what is really due to him....The Nobel Prize!!!!!!!!
