Lyme Disease
HHV-6, West Nile, HIV, Chlamydia pneumonia, Klebsiella, Mycoplasmas, yeast, flu,
parasites, Morgellons…
What about Lyme disease? a spirochetosis that trumps most infections in aggression
against the body and mind.
Maybe it‟s protective for Ebola or something yet to come?
Elderly typically do better. Kids can be cured. Adults get everything in between if
they work hard enough to get well.
Some people kill themselves.
Some people want to but are too tired to find their sticky notes written
how they were going to pull it off.

Lyme Disease
The discipline of Lyme disease including investigations into the
extent of this disease and its optimal treatment is still in its infancy.
There have been scarcely two fractional generations of clinicians
who are confronting the full nature of this affliction.
