Re: Hello Eileen

Hello Eileen,

This is fascinating news isn't it! I suggest you read the articles in the link above marked 'Samento Science Library' by Toonces. There are some really interesting points made about the Lyme tests, and conditions that it can cause. Here are some paragraphs that I have copied for you -

Testing, Testing, ...

Even the standard blood tests recommended to diagnose Lyme are in question. The most widely used is called the Western Blot test. It checks to see if your body is making specific antibodies to fight various proteins on the Bb organism. As I described earlier, however, if the organism has changed forms or is “in hiding,” or if your immune system is not putting up a good defense, there may be little, if any, indication from the test that you are infected with the organism.

Many doctors unfamiliar with Lyme also don’t realize that if the patient has been taking steroids, Antibiotics , or anti-inflammatory medications (even over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen or naproxen) the Western Blot test can provide false-negative results. To get an accurate reading, patients should be off all medications of these types for at least six weeks—and some are saying for as long as six months—before the test.

Doctors are finding increasingly often that Lyme infections can exist without any symptoms until the patient suffers from some traumatic or stressful event. This event could be mental stress or a physical injury or accident. With a relative of mine, a normal pregnancy happened to be the triggering event.

End of quote.

I am copying this also to my sister, who has been diagnosed with fybromyalgia. I have ordered some Cat's Claw myself. Its a great anti-inflamatory (apparently) whatever the condition/cause, and I am hoping it'll be of great benefit.

Best wishes,

Rose
