I wanted to comment a little more on what Dana was noting:

While there have been few folks who have gotten "free" of lyme by just concentrating on nothing but Borrelia, it has been my own experience and that of others, that most folks must alleviate it by "peeling an onion" of other co-infectionary, or toxic (including metals) factors, to truly become free of it.

This is why one person may get relieved with a Doug rife device, or colloidal silver, or antibiotics, etc., etc, and others doing the same exact thing will not. 

Some folks will have their mind set on only Bb, and that the only reason it takes so long is, it "goes into cyst form".  This is true, it can go into cyst form.  But that is not the sole reason for its difficulty in eradicating.  For the syphilis spirochete, Bb's cousin, also goes into cyst form and, as Dr. Burgdorfer himself noted, that has been known for decades.  Yet, the syphilis bacteria is remedied just with dosing of penicillin.  In this regard, you can't blame doctors to a certain extent scratching their heads when Borrlia does not respond the same way.

And, understanding how microbial 'worms' (nematodes and nemamorphs as described at the lymephotos site), actually protect certain bacteria (even hold them inside them) as well as feed off them (not unlike the way we protect and feed on cattle or chickens as a "food source"), this appears to be at least one completely overlooked aspect of the prolongation of Bb infections.

I have not met anyone with lyme (including myself) who has not had co-infections.  And, there is evidence that the extent of co-infectionary microbes in society is simply more than what it was in the 80s and even early 90s. This includes the usual tick-related items like Babesia (and folks are usually only tested for the Microti strain when there's many others), Erlichia, Mycoplasma, Bartonella, Brucella, Coxsackie, Herpes 1-6a & 6b, Epstein Barr, Cytomegalo, Fungus, other protozoa, parasites, bacteria, etc.  It like a bad bug problem in a house.  You knock the ants back and mites come out.  Knock the mites back and roaches appear, knock the roaches back and the ants are back, round and round, etc., etc.

That's why we call it "lyme complex" instead of lyme disease here.  And, unless a person "peels the onion", and takes the "layers" off, methodically, it is very difficult for the body to truly get "on top of" the complex for good. 

Fortunately, the salt/C research protocol appears to have quite a broad-spectrum effect, not only on Bb (in its various forms) but also other microbes, and in knocking these out, allows a person to then "mop-up" whatever co-infectionary items that have been "stirred-up" or catalyzed by the Bb's effect.

All the best,

Marc
