Lyme disease has been a scourge in parts of the U.S. for decades but doctors are still using diagnostic tests developed in the 1990’s. Researchers now assert, though, that a definitive diagnostic test is technically feasible.
Plus, powered by Congressional action the NIH is finally taking on Lyme big time laying the groundwork for real progress over the next couple of years.

^^This is the future of testing for the presence Lyme Spirochete in humans.
(Not to mention this lab tests for many other issues).^^

Dr. Rawls, is on a decent track, and his website answers alot of questions related to Lyme, and the real essence of the disease and its symptoms. I wouldnt say his supplement line isnt the answer for all, although the CBD oil seems to be of higher-quality. They are a decent supplement company, as a Certified B-Corp, and some of his products may help, but many with CBS up-regulations will struggle with some of his products containing Garlic, Glutathione, and N-Acetyl-Cysteine and Glucosamine Chondrontin. But never rely solely on the supplements! They are merely a tool.
Wow, this is all terriffic news. if they can differentiate post lyme from cfs even better!
Congrats to all involved
(re: tests for cfs, didn’t Michael Zeineh’s use of Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) show a specific brain pattern for cfs?
while it must be very expensive to do, is it not better to have an expensive test for cfs than none?

with the three dimensional image showing characterized shape amazing (and diagnostic)
many diseases use various expensive imaging devices to diagnose a disease.
– tho if Davis and all market their inexpensive nanoneedle tests it will be a boon for all
Having Post Lyme Disease and also other fungus connected to mosquitoes (similar to malaria, but actually a fungus that forms biofilms and tumors), this has been a long struggle to find solutions. I’m of recent on a new herb recommend by my Functional doc. I wrote about it on this thread. Its Lomatium along with rotating some enzymes. Seeing some positive responses.

Here’s a similar story about improved scanning now able to diagnose kids infected with an enterovirus that left them paralyzed using a technology called virscan

Hi Cort,
There is also a new test available which detects the presence of bacteriophages of borrelia…
Check the redlabs website.
Almost no press but pretty groundbreaking stuff if you ask me…
