Bumper crop of acorns predicts more Lyme disease in NY
Poughkeepsie Journal, Nov. 25, 2015
In New York’s Hudson Valley, it’s hard to go outside without stepping on an acorn. Oaks have ‘boom and bust’ acorn production cycles. In lean years, trees produce a handful of nuts. In boom years, acorns seem to rain down from the sky. We are currently experiencing an acorn bumper-crop, or what ecologists call a ‘mast’ year. READ MORE.
I never cease to be amazed by the deflection to finding a cure for Borrelia Burgdorferi bacterial infection always focuses on stinking ticks and Deer. Neither are the problem. The central problem is the inability of antibiotics to kill off the bacteria thanks to the Bio Film and Bio Film Cysts it creates. How about everyone getting focused on the real problem for a change. There is no question that Dr. Willy Burgdorfer’s 2007’s comment about research on the bacteria taking the wrong direction was 100% correct.
I am not saying ABX is a cure. But I will say that the only relief I ever got from Lyme was IV ABX (probiotics, digestive enzyes, lots of other holistic treatment) My case is that I was given tons and tone of prednisone for over 25 years for ulcerative colitis, which I now am sure is an expression of Lyme. With my immune system continually attacked and weakened by the prednisone, I needed something that could work. Finally dx’d in 2002 and treated a lot (years) with IV ABX I did well. Last LLMD jerked my treatment, oral infection came back and has beein continually worsening since 2008/2009, and is bringing back other Lyme symptoms.. Lost all my teeth and finally I am hoping for help by dentists who finally are not ignoring me. LLMDs need to get on board for the oral infections, and dentists need to get on board for Lyme. Lyme patients are even more susceptible for mercury poisonings than others. The ABE debate can continue. I want to get well. I cannot afford the other holistic tretments, Lye has stolen finances, health, family, everyghing.
Hi GMD, I’m going to suggest those oral infections are resultant of a Selenium deficiency and can be eliminated with 200 mg (micro grams) caplets once a day. The principal cause of gum line cavities is bio films. Selenium prevents bacteria’s from creating bio films. We get Selenium in many of our foods but for one having Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria in their system the amount of Selenium we get from foods will be totally insufficient. You can buy Selenium just about anywhere herbals are sold, even Wal-Mart. You may also find your issues with Lyme are significantly lessened with the taking of Selenium. I would also recommend you consider taking MSM with the Selenium as your body will be dumping out a lot of poison and MSM will lessen the Herx effect. With MSM start out with only about 1/2 the amount the label on the bottle suggests otherwise you seriously slam your system and probably have diarrhea for a few days. Warning: Never take more than 200 micro grams of Selenium in a 24 hour period. Overdose can result in death. The Selenium, MSM protocol combined with 21 days of doxycycline will likely rid the bacteria from one’s body for those recently contracting Lyme. What might happen with one having had the bacteria for years I wouldn’t speculate as there is no test that will confirm the lack of the specific protein created by Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria.
An accurate illustrations of why few are ever cured from Lyme can be found on two websites where you will find illustrations of the cycle of Bio Film Cysts.

Note: Montana State University is where Dr. Willy Burgdorfer who first identified the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria did his research.
Good luck
