Hét forum over de ziekte van Lyme (Lyme-Borreliose)
https://www.lymeforum.nl/forum/
Het is een interessante ontwikkeling. Toch zal het nog vele jaren gaan duren omdat er eerst ook klinisch onderzoek, dubbelblind gerandomiseerd placebo gecontroleerd onderzoek (Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)), met mensen-patiënten groepen gedaan zal moeten worden voordat het geneesmiddel op de markt toegelaten kan worden voor de zieke van Lyme/chronische Lyme...Pak jij na iedere wandeltocht door iets wat natuur genoemd kan worden de tekenpen erbij? Dat hoeft straks waarschijnlijk niet meer. In ieder geval niet om de ziekte van Lyme te vermijden..
dr R.H is een stuk minder positief over het onderzoek en over Hygromycin A; Bron https://www.facebook.com/drrichardhorowitz/..A potential new therapeutic drug candidate for Lyme disease was presented by Dr. Kim Lewis, a GLA grant recipient. His group has rediscovered hygromycin A, a previously known drug that was never screened for activity against B. burgdorferi, which it kills without any effect on other bacteria. Thus, it may potentially be developed as a treatment for Lyme disease that will not harm the commensal human microbiome..
..8 oktober 2021: 'Kim Lewis has been talking for years about Hygromycin A, an antimicrobial found in soil, as a potential treatment for preventing acute LD from becoming chronic. Will be interesting to see clinical trials.
There are however certain factual errors in the article.
"Patients with the long-term Lyme disease symptoms tend to have a gut microbiome that is distinct from healthy patients, Lewis found in previous research. So he posited that the broad spectrum antibiotics, such as doxycycline or amoxicillin, might be laying the groundwork for the lingering symptoms in what’s often called “chronic Lyme disease,” or “post-treatment Lyme disease.”
It is true that microbiome imbalances can contribute to inflammation, but it is not wiping out the good bacteria in the GI tract that causes chronic LD. It is round body, persister and biofilm forms of the bacteria, along with co-infections and abnormalities on the 16 point MSIDS map that make people sick. That has been my finding after 30+ years and over 13,000 Lyme patients. To extrapolate from his microbiome studies and imply that is the issue, is ignoring prior research. And to call this 'the first therapeutic in Lyme disease' is grossly overstating the fact'..
Flightpath Biosciences, Inc; Bron https://www.facebook.com/flightpathbiosciences/..Lewis’ team has already licensed the compound to Flightpath, a biotech company focused on Lyme disease, to perform development studies and pursue production of this treatment.
“I hope that it will continue moving forward in development and will become the first therapeutic to treat Lyme disease,” he says. “It will be very important to see whether treating with Hygromycin A will diminish the probability of developing chronic Lyme.”..

Flightpath has now enrolled >900 participants in the largest clinical biomarker study of chronic Lyme disease ever conducted! We wanted to share this early result as we are incredibly grateful to the community who is supporting this effort - Thank you.
In addition, we now have more than 200 kits completed and a small token of our appreciation is on the way (Amazon eGift card).
Stay tuned to Lyme Disease dot org for study updates via blog. We hope to gain a much better understanding of the disease through this multiomics study and aim to develop the world's first confirmatory diagnostic test for patients. More soon.
There is no detectable cytotoxicity against human cells, and we were unable to detect toxicity upon oral administration, even at very high doses, exceeding MIC 2,500-fold. This is probably a consequence of poor penetration through membranes of this highly water-soluble compound (LogP −0.66) that requires a transporter to smuggle it to its target in spirochetes.
