Is the spelling pseudomonas? Oh, I can believe, she would not buy the probiotics, even though it healed the candida. It never ceases to amaze me, people will take all kinds of crap the doctors hand out, try and give em a herb and they freak out. I'm not sure about lymes being gram negative, I thinks it's a mix of parasites and bacteria, though. Lymes may play a part in my illness, even though test was negative.
