That's a hell of a ratio working against the numbers you tout. If I remember, I'll ask my doctor, who is currently on a tour speaking about Lyme disease in psychiatry, what he would estimate the numbers to be.

Yes. That's why I separated cases into two scenarios.
Let's see how to best ask my question again. Assume that Lyme Disease has been accurately diagnosed. To the best of your estimation, what is the first treatment (please be specific) to be introduced for each scenario? How do we get people well? If multiple treatments come to mind, just choose one to talk about. We can talk about the others at another time.

That is very interesting. A bacterium can sense threat? Where can I learn more about this morphing thing?

In my first remission a few years ago, I think I went through over a dozen different ABX over time and I don't remember all their names. Docs like to keep rotating them in and out for effectiveness and to avoid tolerance.
I understand what you mean. Would this be better characterized as treating mutations that have led to spirochete superbugs?

In my case for example, and in most psychiatric patients in my opinion, we are dealing with Bartonella and cystic Borellia. imo. My treatment is wide spectrum with an extra focus on Bartonella and busting cysts and biofilms.This was great presentation. Thank you for that. Busting cysts does not sound terribly appetizing.
