Adversity builds character ... and Lavi, you've got it by the boatload.
BTW ... I believe you too.
After 7 years of research and experimentation (when my Mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, my daughter and I turned our dining room into a laboratory), I can assure anyone who's listening that Borrelia Burgdorferi (the spirochete that causes Lyme Disease) is the most complex bacteria on Earth.
Depending upon the strain, it possesses 18-22 plasmids, strands of DNA from other unrelated bacteria that it has absorbed through its cell wall that creates proteins and which provides it with a whole host of survival advantages.
It redefines the word pleomorphic (the ability to change its physiological structure and metabolism in reaction to the environment ... like antibiotics) and is the only known life form on Earth that does not require iron to metabolize proteins ... it uses manganese instead which allows it to avoid one of our body's most potent immune responses to bacterial infection.
Spirochetal DNA is also found in the plaques of 92% of Alzheimer's patients. Of that, 25% is Borrelia Burdorferi and 75% is periodontal spirochetes ... so brush your teeth.
The autopsied brain of an Alzheimer's patient is indistinguishable from someone who died of neurosyphilis. Syphilis is also caused by a spirochete.
The medical profession's dismissal of the claims of Lyme patients borders upon the criminal.

What a spectacular comment @quillfire! My mother is in the early stages of Alzheimer's and I obviously don't need to tell you the issues that come from that.
I couldn't agree more! The simple fact that you and your daughter discovered this information shows something lacking in the medical profession!
@lynncoyle1,
Hey Lynn.
The world of Alzheimer's Research is SLOWLY beginning to change direction. They wasted 30 years barking up the wrong tree. Once there's a consensus opinion, it becomes almost impossible to changes despite overwhelming evidence that it's wrong.
Spirochetes were discovered in 10/10 Alzheimer's patient plaques in ... 1987 ... by a pathologist named Alan MacDonald. A couple of years later, his finding were confirmed (and augmented ... the 92%: 25%/75% stat) by Judith Miklossy, the gal who ran the Alzheimer's Research Department for the Swiss Government. Evi Sapi at the University of New Haven picked up the baton from there.
My daughter and I have been experimenting with two natural compounds that kill the multitude of pleomorphic forms of Borrelia and ... more difficultly, with how to get the compounds to the plaques and tangles. Our bodies do not cooperate.
Katie's won more Science Fairs than either of us can count. We were planning to move to Montreal so she could attend McGill, but a number of American universities have jumped into the fray and are practically bribing her to go to their universities instead: Free Rides (tuition, room & board) AND substantial research funds to continue her research ... even as a Freshman!
Alas, no one has so much as offered to buy me a cup of coffee. :-)
Anyway, we're playing it by ear.
Quill
Wow!!! That's amazing ... all of it, but especially your daughter! I'd buy you a cup of coffee, but I'm guessing if by chance the opportunity ever did arise, it would be wine we'd be sharing haha
This is really good news though; have you found any "natural compound" worth sharing yet? with a guinea pig I mean?
Thanks, @quillfire! You must be so proud of your genius daughter!
The name of the Great Pretender describes it perfectly!
Just this week I met another physician who was under the impression ticks pass through customs on their way to Canada!!!
That's just embarrassing for all doctors in Canada ... I hope!
