News and resources for neurological Lyme disease and co-infections.
The hostile discrimination that has been felt across the country by people with chronic Lyme disease just may be starting to turn. For so long the medical establishment -following the strict guidelines of IDSA (Infectious Disease Society of America) have turned away the hundreds of thousands of people all across America.
Mitchell Kronenberg, Ph.D., and his lab have made a critical finding regarding this disease. They discovered that the bacteria that causes lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, contains a certain glycolipid (a cell-signaling molecule) which will activate the body’s Natural Killer T cells (NKT cells). These NKT cells are valuable soldiers in the body’s defense system, and are known for fast and effective attacks against infection in the body. The discovery was made even more important because the bacteria that activates the NKT cells is one of only three substances known to naturally induce this response from the body.

Business Wire announced 2 days ago that Viral Genetics had received a grant of $75,000.00 to follow up on the research they began last year on chronic Lyme disease almost accidentally when they were trying to discover immune based treatments an therapies for HIV and AIDS. See http://www.lymediseaseresource.com/wordpress/great-news-re-possible-lyme-vaccine-from-viral-genetics/ . The generous grant has come from [...]
There are many, many symptoms of Lyme disease, and due to the infection of multi systems, there are unknown thousands or even hundreds of thousands who develop Lyme disease each year. While suspecting a flu or muscle strain, the infection can quickly invade the central nervous system and create a deeply embedded chronic infection.
There are [...]
Mycoplasma - They are not new. They were discovered over 100 years ago and evolved from bacteria. The “garden variety” mycoplasma is not usually associated with severe diseases.
However, sometime over the past 30 years, the organism has been altered to become more lethal. The Mycoplasmas found by the Nicolson’s, in their lab, contain unusual gene sequences that were probably inserted into the Mycoplasma by a specific laboratory procedure. This discovery has led them to conclude that the new forms of mycoplasma were specifically engineered for germ warfare!
Chyavanprash (also known as Amla Royale), is a potent ancient botanical tonic (containing over 40 different premier Ayurvedic herbs) that was reserved for royalty for many hundreds of years. It is a powerful rejuvenative formula to maintain and rejuvenate one’s health. Premier Research/Quantum is the first US company to import grade 10 Chyavanprash to the US from India, where the herbs in the formula and grown, harvested and prepared by traditional Ayruvedic herbal masters. (Note: Most Chyavanprash available in the US is made using poor grades of herbs, typically grade 1, the lowest grade on the Indian government’s 10-point grading scale; grade 10 being the most superior herbal quality.)
Morgellons is a disease that starts with relentless itching, stinging or biting sensations. Cotton-like balls may appear on the body with no reasonable explanation. Soon skin rash develops along with lesions that will not heal.
“…not only are there new research dollars being supplied, the issue has become (and has been) an international concern that will quickly supersede the turf wars being fought in New England.”
