Re: Disulfiram: A Test of Symptom Reduction Among Patients With Previously Treated Lyme Disease
Actually, alternative approaches are being considered, once one gets beyond the unproven "hang up" of a persistent infection as the one and only mechanism involved : https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-06- ... tment.html .

Re: Disulfiram: A Test of Symptom Reduction Among Patients With Previously Treated Lyme Disease
We'll see. In contrast to some of the unproven "unorthodox treatments" that have been proposed, the results of a well-conducted placebo-controlled study certainly would be useful in determining whether this --or other drugs-- eliminate the symptoms associated with PTLDS. My concern is the rationale ...

Re: Disulfiram: A Test of Symptom Reduction Among Patients With Previously Treated Lyme Disease
All should be cautioned that it is easy to find LOTS of things that will kill Borrelia in vitro. Rat poison would be an excellent example. However, some of these "drugs" would be much to toxic to even consider using them to treat patients. Also, unless one does placebo-controlled studies, it is impo...

Re: Lyme Disease fluorescent microscopy
Acridine orange (AO) stains nucleic acids present in both DNA and RNA, whether the cells involved are alive or not. AO staining is no proof of viability since dead bacterial cells will stain AO positive as well. Furthermore, all life -- including bacterial life-- requires a minimal amount of genetic...

Only a fool would believe anything that ILADS and these scoundrels have to say.

Re: Receptor tyrosine kinases and Lyme disease bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi
The issue is always whether the results of such in vitro studies are clinically relevant. The same can be said for the results of numerous in vitro studies on persisters. Another major issue in the tyrosine kinase study is whether human cell lines, which really are abnormal cells, are truly represen...

Re: Receptor tyrosine kinases and Lyme disease bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi
One must be very careful in relating the results of these in vitro studies to events that may occur during human neuroborreliosis acquired naturally. In this study, a cell line ( that may not be typical in all respects to normal human oligodendrocytes) was infected with Borrelia at a MOI of 10:1 -- ...

Re: Dr. Cameron
Thank you, hv808ct. All of the information that I have posted is in the public domain. None of it comes under the heading of top secret confidential information. After reading it, those who have a few working brain cells will conclude that ILADS is a pseudo-scientific who leadership is dominated by ...

Re: Chronic Lyme Disease: A Working Case Definition
I too sent them a message and received no response. I find all of this to be rather strange and unusual -- to say the least.
I wonder if there really is an issue with using Horowitz's ideas without attribution, i.e., plagiarism?
