Antibiotics have been hailed as the super cure in their vaulted past, but over the years, as people have begun to die and suffer terrible side effects due to over-use, and still others who become sick from even a small amount of antibiotics, there is a new wave of bad publicity towards antibiotics, rightly so when taken casually.

But for those of us with chronic Lyme disease, the risks involved with taking antibiotics - for years even- are absolutely worth it. Many will admit to thinking that death is not a punishment compared to the hell we live with each day.

Lyme, as we know, is transmitted by ticks. When it moves through the tick, it is coated with a tick salivary protein known as Salp15. The Yale team injected Salp15 into healthy mice and found that it significantly protected the mice from getting Lyme disease. When combined with outer surface proteins of B. burgdorferi, the protection was even greater.

Most of us are so focused on our own unique Lyme; the swollen joints, the mental confusion (Lyme Fog) and every kind of pain that can be imagined. But try, if you can, to watch your child go from a happy youth who fits in where ever he or she goes, to a virtual stranger - depressed, crying all the time…I have been there and would definitely take the pain away from my child than to watch he or she suffer.

Robert Lane, PhD, uncovered a curious quirk about Lyme disease back in 1998 and the black-legged ticks that carry it there: the infection rates for young ticks, while low, was three to four times higher than the rate in adult ticks.

Early experiments ruled out the possibility that antibodies produced by the lizard’s immune system were able to neutralize the Lyme disease bacteria.

The puzzle continued to interest Lane who found later that when young nymphal ticks feed on the fence lizards, the mysterious protein not only protects the lizard from infection — it actually leaches into the tick’s gut and kills the bacteria there. Additional lab tests showed that when infected nymphs fed on the lizards, and then metamorphosed into adult ticks, they were no longer infected.
