News and resources for neurological Lyme disease and co-infections.
For those of us who continue to suffer year after year, it is important to remember that we can’t get rid of Lyme if we are also infected with one of the many strains of Babesia, or one of the hundreds of “BLO” (Bartonella Like Organisms), or one of the other viruses, pathogens, fungus or bacterial infections that usually accompany and operate in a synergistic manner with Lyme.
The medical community will have had to change their belief about how the spirochete is passed from the tick to its host based on a recently released medical report from researchers who collaborated from the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington, Connecticut:
Until recently, Babesia was considered a rare disease because it was only diagnosed in extremely ill patients with high fevers (104+). 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.
