Take a look at the picture below. What you are looking at are spirochetes. One is syphilis and one is Lyme. Which is which? You can't tell, can you? Syphilis testing is accurate. Lyme testing is unreliable producing, on average, 75% false-negative results.
Syphilis is a spirochete. Spirochetes are corkscrew-shaped bacterium that drill into the cells. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that can also cross the maternal-fetal blood barrier resulting in possible infant death.
Lyme is a spirochete. Since my last paragraph this part hasn't changed... Spirochetes are corkscrew-shaped bacterium that drill into the cells, BUT, the CDC says Lyme is NOT sexually transmitted and does NOT cross the maternal-fetal blood barrier, which, according to the documentary I watched, is not true. You can find that documentary, "Under Our Skin" under the Documentaries tab above. A woman who was interviewed had four pregnancies. Out of those 4, there were two miscarriages the fetal remains of which tested positive for Lyme. Also, out of those 4 pregnancies, were two live births. Both of those children are positive for Lyme.
How can that be true? How, since Lyme is a spirochete just like syphilis, can it not be sexually transmitted or cause miscarriages? Think about it. It doesn't make sense at all, does it?
BTW...Lyme is on the left. Syphilis is on the right.
Naturally Curing Lyme Disease and Chronic Lyme Disease explains how Lyme "lives in a symbiotic relationship with a microscopic parasite which it nourishes. This explains why the disease is so difficult to eradicate. Attacking only the bacteria without attacking the microscopic worm can enable the worm to flourish, reproduce, and to breed more of the viral component. Therefore, a two-pronged approach is needed to effectively cure Lyme disease. The bacteria and the worm should be attacked at the same time." Click on the title for the full article.
