Maar ik denk echt dat er onvoldoende kennis over is.
Veel lymepatiënten hebben snel last van hun schildklier, bij mij was het eindelijk tot rust gekomen.
Tot ik de carnitine ging gebruiken.
Vroeg me ook af of Borrelia misschien carnitine of zo gebruikt, want het leek ook alsof ik weer ontstekingen ging krijgen.
Ik schrok wel van deze:
In relation to obligate intracellular pathogens, we know surprisingly little. For instance, to date, no spirochaetes have been identified to use carnitine, but the causative agent of syphilis, Treponema pallidum, is predicted to harbour a carnitine transporter (Saier & Paulsen, 2000; Smajs et al., 2005). With Treponema pallidum only having 1000 genes (Fraser et al., 1998), carnitine transport may be important for survival in certain environments and for establishing infection. Furthermore, it is tempting to speculate that intracellular pathogens and symbionts can likely use carnitine based on the role of carnitine:fatty acid transport systems in the mitochondria, particularly in light of the endosymbiotic source of these organelles. As such, one might expect a role for carnitine import in the Rickettsiales.
