German expert organization of researchers, physicians, and professors publish objections to Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) guidelines
ByCanLyme Team September 13, 2012April 21, 2023
The German organization Deutsche Borreliose Gesellschaft submitted their evidence based objections to the IDSA much maligned Lyme disease guidelines. The Deutsche Borreliose Gesellschaft (German Society of Lyme-Borreliosis) raises objections to the IDSA Lyme Guidelines published in 2006. The fundamental basis for our objections is that the implementation of the IDSA guidelines extends beyond the United…

Deer ticks, Lyme disease, and medical guidance Accepted medical practice discourages antibiotic retreatment in cases where Lyme disease symptoms persist. A new review of studies behind current medical advice says those studies prove nothing. Photo credit: Centers for Disease Control A new statistical review calls into question studies that have been taken as proof that antibiotic retreatment…

“Borrelia burgdorferi was detected in the brain in 25.3% of AD cases analyzed and was 13 times more frequent in AD compared to controls. Periodontal pathogen Treponemas (T. pectinovorum, T. amylovorum, T. lecithinolyticum, T. maltophilum, T. medium, T. socranskii) and Borrelia burgdorferi were detected using species specific PCR and antibodies. Importantly, co-infection with several spirochetes…

Emerging Infectious Determinants of Chronic Diseases
ByCanLyme Team September 3, 2012April 21, 2023
Evidence now confirms that noncommunicable chronic diseases can stem from infectious agents. Furthermore, at least 13 of 39 recently described infectious agents induce chronic syndromes. Identifying the relationships can affect health across populations, creating opportunities to reduce the impact of chronic disease by preventing or treating infection. As the concept is progressively accepted, advances in…
