Bob, this topic is so comprehensive it would take me all day to get you to a place where you a full understanding of it. I will just touch on some of the subtopics.

First, most PCPs are grossly undertrained in recognizing, suspecting, or diagnosing Lyme or any other chronic hidden infections.

The blood tests are nearly useless. This is a real long topic to explain why. Basically, these infections have had thousands of years to learn how to hide and deceive, so that neither your own immune system or a blood test can see them. There is a high percentage of false negatives in lab tests. No reliable tests exist. The problem is, PCPs act as if they were accurate, when they are far from it. Infections such as Lyme are clinical diagnosis, not a blood test diagnosis, and take into account the patient's history and symptoms more than any blood test. Most PCPs do not have the eyes or experience to know Lyme when it is staring them in the face.

If I were to gather all the reports of people who were treated for MS, firbromyalgia, or chronic fatigue syndrome, who later went on to regain their healthy lives only after antibiotic treatment for Lyme, your jaw would drop. I believe, as do some of the country's top specialists, that many of the so-called diseases these days are in fact a bacterial invasion at the cellular level. Thus the inflammation, the pain, the fatigue. And the improvement on antibiotic herbs or meds.

Most meds worsen my symptoms of pains. Most also worsen my mood, taking me from being at least stable to being very unstable. It is so odd, but the ones that actually worked like antidepressants are supposed to work were not antidepressants at all. Things like DMSA, doxycylcine, diflucan, garlic. Weird. Makes sense though when one knows the whole picture.
