> MS MRI diagnosis shows the myelin sheaths that cover the nerves in the brain are not formed corrected and is a definitive test for MS add the patients symptoms also and MS goes into remission for many years at a time. Lymes doesn't not cause MS it's an autoimmune disease. Google MS. Phillipa
As is the case in most of medicine, things aint that simple.
For example, "nerves in the brain are not formed correctly". How do we know that? Did we test the person at birth, age 1, age 10, age 20? Were they defective from the beginning, or did they suffer an environmental insult later in life? We don't know. For sure however, it hallmark evidence of a term to describe a certain set of symptoms, named MS.
Case stories are available that describe patients with positive MS MRIs, all the symptoms of MS, negative labs for Lyme, and a diagnosis of MS, yet the MRI brain damage was signifantly reduced or completely eliminated when the patient underwent suspected Lyme disease anyway.
Maybe the neurotoxins of the organisms caused the damage both by direct insult as well as indirect insult on other altered biochemical functions in the body? Maybe removing the cause allowed the miraculous healing powers of the human body to occur?
In any case, if you google this topic of MS versus Lyme, you will find enough evidence to see that real MS patients recovered from an apparently permanent irreversible disease when treated for Lyme disease. The diagnosis in these cases looked accurate...MRI, symptoms, everything. But they were wrong. It was Borellia the whole time. The MRIs later looked much improved or normal.
Another interesting point..."MS goes into remission for many years at a time". One of the mysteries of Lyme disease is that it too can display that behavior. If nothing else, it has to make an inquiring mind wonder if they aren't one and the same.
A final interesting point..."MS it's an autoimmune disease". True. But an autoimmune disease doesn't just fall from the sky. From where did it come? Will the autoimmune disease retreat when the causative agent of it is removed? Apparently in some people, yes.
I'm not making a case here either way. I'm just pointing out that "it aint that simple". When someone is cured of MS with Lyme treatment, it demands to stand back and ask, "What the heck?"
