4 juni 2025: Tezted (Finland) - Hope, Healing, and Science: A Breakthrough in Understanding Lyme Disease; Bron https://www.facebook.com/tickplex/

..New Research Alert for Patients & Clinicians!
A newly published case series in Integrative Medicine (June 2025) reveals what many patients have long felt—and what clinicians are now seeing more clearly: Lyme disease and its co-infections often look like other illnesses. From chronic fatigue and neuropathy to Parkinson’s-like tremors and neuropsychiatric symptoms in children, Lyme can mimic it all.

Key Insights from the Study:
Standard testing often failed—while advanced tools like TICKPLEX® and functional diagnostics uncovered the real infections.
Patients initially diagnosed with lupus, MS, psychiatric disorders, and even early dementia were later found to have Lyme disease and co-infections.

Holistic, integrative treatments—combining antibiotics, immune support, and therapies like IV nutrition and PEMF—led to full recoveries, even in long-standing, complex cases.

This isn’t just research—it’s a message of hope. A reminder that healing is possible when diagnosis is accurate, treatment is personalized, and patients are heard.

To every patient still searching for answers—you are not alone. To every clinician seeking better outcomes—this case series offers a roadmap.

Read. Share. Discuss. The future of chronic infection care is changing.

..Methods
A multidisciplinary approach grounded in integrative medicine was adopted. Diagnostic methods included advanced serological panels (e.g., TICKPLEX®), co-infection testing, functional immune markers, Cunningham Panel testing for neuropsychiatric Lyme presentations, and imaging. Treatments included traditional antibiotics, botanical antimicrobials (Cryptolepis, Artemisinin, Biocidin), mitochondrial and neuroprotective support (CoQ10, NAD+, magnesium), nutritional therapies, detox support, immune system support protocols, pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, and methylene blue protocols..

..Diagnostic Tests
Extensive testing was pivotal for diagnosis, encompassing serological tests for IgG and IgM antibodies (targeting pathogens like Borrelia burgdorferi, Bartonella henselae, and Babesia microti), functional labs, and advanced imaging. The TICKPLEX® test provided deeper insights.7,8 TICKPLEX® is a CE-marked in-vitro diagnostics (CE-IVD) registered enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and COFEPRIS-approved test manufactured under ISO 13485:2016, an industry standard for all clinical diagnostic tests. All the patients had been sick for an average of ten years, necessitating specific serological tests to guide treatment decisions, particularly in selecting antibiotics. TICKPLEX® was the only test demonstrating positive results for many patients, enabling targeted antimicrobial treatments that led to significant improvements and recoveries..

Abstract
Introduction: The tick-borne disease Lyme Borreliosis is caused by Borrelia bacteria. The disease can persist even after treatment with antibiotics, which is why other methods of treatment are needed. Herbal compounds and phytochemicals have been recently examined in relation to eradicating Borrelia bacteria in vitro.

Objective: The possible antimicrobial effect of two novel compounds, Biocidin Liquid and LSF Broad-Spectrum Liposomal formulas, was examined in the hopes of discovering an alternative method for eradication of Borrelia bacteria.

Methods: The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bacterial deaths (MBDs), as well as, time-kill effect of each compound were utilized in the study.

Results: The Liquid formula effectively killed the spirochetes with 1:10 dilution, while the MIC for the Liposomal formula was 1:25. Moreover, the MIC for both compounds with Round Bodies was 1:50 and for biofilms 1:10. Though long-term effect (MBD) was seen only with 1:5 dilutions for both formulas. Additionally, the killing effect of each compound was observed already at 10 min post-treatment.

Conclusion: The study conducted here provides new insight into the antimicrobial effect of herbal compounds. Furthermore, studies such as these are required in order to discover possible alternatives to antibiotics in the battle against Borrelia infections..

..Materials and methods
Bacterial strain, culturing conditions and test compounds
All experiments were conducted with infectious, fluorescent B. burgdorferi strain GCB726 with GFP, which was graciously provided by Georges Chaconas, University of Calgary, Canada [11]. Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly medium (BSK II) [12], without gelatin and supplemented with 6% heat inactivated rabbit serum (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) was used in the culturing of cells at +37 ºC. Low-passage number cells (≤ passage 8) were used in all of the experiments.
The tested compounds, Biocidin® Liquid formula and Biocidin® LSF Broad-Spectrum Liposomal formula, were acquired from Bio-Botanical Research Inc. (CA, USA). As negative controls for growth 100 μg/ml of doxycycline (Hexal®, Germany) and 0.02 % H2O2 (Sigma-Aldrich) were used. Untreated cells were a positive control for growth..

De in vitro studie (in reageerbuis in laboratorium) is niet herhaald en is er geen opvolgend klinisch onderzoek (in vivo met groepen mensen) gedaan ter bevestiging?!

..Natuurlijke behandelingen 'baat het niet dan schaadt het niet'?..
Mensen kunnen denken baat het niet dan schaadt het niet maar zij maken daarmee toch een denkfout. Natuurlijke behandelingen en natuurlijke middelen en supplementen kunnen net als reguliere behandelingen ernstige bijwerkingen/klachten en of (blijvende) gezondheidsschade veroorzaken.
Behandelaars in privé-klinieken in Nederland of in het buitenland, natuurartsen, Ilads Lyme&me/cvs artsen, AVIG Lyme artsen en therapeuten die met natuurlijke behandelingen en supplementen werken schrijven vaak langdurig veel kostbare natuurlijke middelen en supplementen voor. Er wordt patiënten veel beloofd.. verbetering en of genezing. Natuurlijke behandelingen zijn de laatste jaren duidelijk een groot verdienmodel geworden!

Sommige Lyme patiënten gebruiken érg veel supplementen en kunnen daar zieker van worden in plaats van beter zoals bijvoorbeeld Ginger; Bron viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2595&start=140#p29175 en Bron viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2595&start=210#p29522 En de vraag is of zij intussen met een kostbare en langdurige infuus antibiotica behandeling is genezen? Vanaf 14 juli 2023; Bron https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-cure-ginger is er (nog) géén update meer gegeven!
