As you may or may not know, the Lyme spirochete is a cousin of Syphilis, the dreaded sexually transmitted disease that has been around for centuries, and is still active today amongst sexually active people who don’t – or don’t know how – to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases.

Although the date of origin (of both diseases) is hotly disputed amongst scholars, there is no doubt that the symptoms of the syphilis are very similar to Lyme disease.

Like Lyme, the symptoms of Syphilis are many, and diverse.  It has also been called “The Great Imitator” due to the difficulty medical practitioners have had through time in accurately diagnosing the disease and for many centuries, difficulties treating the disease.

Like Lyme, Syphilis can be contracted and lie dormant for weeks, months and even years before showing symptoms.

Like Lyme, Syphilis can be actively growing in major organs, soft tissue, eye fluids, brain and bones before revealing itself causing blindness, pain and fatalities.

Like Lyme, Syphilis caused many suicides due to the difficulties of diagnosis, treatment and cure.

Like Lyme, Syphilis can be transferred through the umbilical cord to unborn children causing death in the womb, SID (sudden infant death), deformities and disease in the resulting child.

Like Lyme, Syphilis was known to cause “General paresis,” otherwise known as general term for the insane when not one particular cause can be identified – a severe manifestation of the disease in advanced condition.

Insanity and/or psychotic breaks are a severe manifestation of neuro-Syphilis and neuro-Lyme.   Unfortunately, these severe and chronic manifestations are harder to cure.

Like Lyme, Syphilis was known to cause chronic or degenerative dementia which ultimately resulted in death amongst those with neuro-Syphilis in as little as 2-3 years.  This statistic can’t be compared to neuro-Lyme due to the problems with accurate diagnosis and the absence of medical investigation at this time with neuro-Lyme.

Like Lyme, Syphilis show progressive personality changes, memory loss, and poor judgment.  They also result in depression and/or manic behavior.

At one time early-Alzheimer’s was believed to be brought on by Syphilis, and now, thanks to the brilliant research by Dr. Alan MacDonald in New York, Alzheimer’s Disease has been recently confirmed as a causative infection and in some cases the true infection causing identical symptoms.  For more information read Genetic Frankenstein: A Link between Chronic Lyme Disease and Alzheimer’s?

Mood swings, anxiety, confusion and uncharacteristic rage are also symptoms of both diseases.

Like Lyme, Syphilis is treated with antibiotics.

So how was Syphilis treated before antibiotics?

There are historical references to many bizarre and horrific treatments in the distant (and not so distant) past, one of the more outrageous treatments that is apparantly still being used by those who are desperately ill with Lyme, (at least in my opinion,) is the deliberate infection of malaria to kill the spirochetes with the extremely high heat caused by malaria fever.  The patient was then treated for the malaria with quinine which was preferable to the tortures of chronic and deeply rooted Syphilis – and chronic Lyme disease.

It is true, there are people today that follow the same path to treat their disease with deliberate malaria infection, and do so without regret.  When I first read of this treatment for Lyme disease I was horrified and could not understand.  Now, years later, I completely understand!

Another treatment that was showing great promise as a possible cure for Syphilis before the advent of the discovery and mass production of penicillin was Betaine HCL.

It has apparently been successful with many patients, and yet the FDA has not cleared its use as a cure, and have ordered the pioneering doctor (name withheld to protect the innocent) to “cease and desist.” .  Perhaps over time with more evidence HCL treatments will be approved.  Meanwhile, those who are ill are able to try the treatment at their own risk.
