If you are in the early stages then this might be a blessing or a curse.
There is a lot of theory behind lyme. I have been working on a Lyme Fact
sheet to give to doctors who are Lyme-illiterate, but have not completed it
yet. Anyways, Lyme has several protein coats. Unlike some more basic
pathogens, lyme can change its protein coat (still don't know if it does it
at random or when the environment becomes threatening)This is "one" reason
why the human immune system has such difficulty with Lyme (Bb). The immune
system has a difficult time creating a complete antibody response to the
different protein coats and it has difficulty producing the amount of each
antibody neccessary to manage lyme. In addition Lyme is a very slow
infection. Most Antibiotics work by disrupting cell division - so even if
lyme and your favorite ABX come in contact with one another Lyme does not
automatically die. Some Lyme may go latent for a very long time. For this
reason it may be neccessary to keep up the ABX for a very long time. Also
the Western Blot done after antibiotic treatment should give you some idea
about how strong your antibody response is.
There are numerous other interesting tid-bits about Lyme. Dr. Sam Donta has
been trying to identify various neurotoxins created by lyme and has recently
had success identifying one that is very close in chemical structure to
Botox - this would account for why Lyme Patients often have a limb or side
of the face go listless and numb.
Another reason the immune system has difficulty with Bb is found in a study
done by the NIH. It was found in-vitro that Bb actually attacks T and B
cells and Kills the very immune cells that are designed to protect the body
from infection. I think the report stated that over time, however, the T and
B cells were able to adjust.
I do think over time the human immune system is able to manage Bb to a point
- but the bacteria lives on as a chronic infection - It depends on the
individual, the bacterial load, and the strain of the bacteria, along with
your stress level, your diet and exercise, etc... as to how well you
co-exist with this little critter called Lyme. I do not think CS will
eradicate all the lyme but if it can get me back to feeling normal again, i
will take a maintenance dose for the rest of my life. EVEN IF IT TURNS ME

Rob,
I am new at this. I have just been diagnosed with Lyme disease. Tell me
more. I have very early stages. Thank you. Blessings, Christine
