News and resources for neurological Lyme disease and co-infections.
Lab 257, written by Michael C. Carroll, has appeared at a time when hundreds of thousands of people are searching for answers about Lyme disease, (which may soon become one of the largest epidemics of all recorded time.) The book reads better than your favorite spy thriller, but finishes like a horror novel instead of [...]
Exciting research is being conducted under Dr. Mario Philipp at Tulane National Primate Research Center using rhesus monkeys which are very similar to humans biologically. The objective is to better understand how the spirochetes infect the brain, how they damage the brain and how they can be destroyed. According to interviews with Pamela Weintraub (see [...]
“The Cure Unknown” courageously documents the disenfranchisement of hundreds of thousands of suffering people who have had their trust in modern medicine cruelly betrayed by self-serving physicians.

The autonomic nervous system controls much of our involuntary functions such as breathing, blood pressure and temperature regulation. So symptoms of Dysautonomia are [...]
Atom Sciences in Oak Ridge has received a $73,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop a process for identifying the bacteria that cause Lyme disease and related illnesses. The Oak Ridge company will develop a test to detect the bacteria known to cause Lyme disease and others, such as those found in [...]

The bacteria which invades the red blood cells, has been largely ignored by the medical community in part because there wasn’t a reliable test for diagnosing it, and in part because there has been so little information about the disease.
In my last blog post I mentioned the importance of healing the immune system as a means of halting the inflammatory response that can become so devastating and is responsible for most if not all of the symptoms of Lyme disease. Having made this statement, I feel the place to start is to direct therapy [...]
