All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Lyme België/ Belgique Protest
To increase public awareness about Lyme Borreliosis and other associated tickborne infections; to provide moral and educational support to sufferers, their relatives and friends - YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!

The Emerging Role of Microbial #Biofilm in #Lyme Neuroborreliosis #Neurology #Persistence #InfectiousDisease
Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is the most dangerous manifestation of Lyme disease, occurring in 10–15% of infected individuals. During the course of the infection, bacteria migrate through the host tissues altering the coagulation and fibrinolysis pathways and the immune response, reaching the central nervous system (CNS) within 2 weeks after the bite of an infected tick. The early treatment with oral antimicrobials is effective in the majority of patients with LNB. Nevertheless, persistent forms of LNB are relatively common, despite targeted antibiotic therapy. It has been observed that the antibiotic resistance and the reoccurrence of Lyme disease are associated with biofilm-like aggregates in B. burgdorferi, B. afzelii, and B. garinii, both in vitro and in vivo, allowing Borrelia spp. to resist to adverse environmental conditions. Indeed, the increased tolerance to antibiotics described in the persisting forms of Borrelia spp., is strongly reminiscent of biofilm growing bacteria, suggesting a possible role of biofilm aggregates in the development of the different manifestations of Lyme disease including LNB.
B. burgdorferi infection of the CNS cause mainly encephalitis, segmental myelitis, cranial neuritis, radiculoneuritis, vasculitis, and intracranial hypertension (13, 15, 16). The clinical manifestation of the LNB may include ataxia, paraparesis, sphincter dysfunction, Parkinson-like symptoms, confusion and cognitive impairment (17, 18). Ischemic stroke is the most frequent cerebrovascular manifestation of LNB presenting in 76% of cases, followed by transient ischemic attack (11%) (19).

Goed Gevoel december 2018: een Lyme patiente spreekt over de eenzaamheid die door de ziekte ontstond..alsof Lyme hebben nog niet erg genoeg is.
Voor de mensen van Limburg: 4 december te Peer !

Is de stille boycot ook hier alweer begonnen? Het Mater hospital, dat het eerste Lyme center in Ierland herbergt, weigerde zijn lokalen ter beschikking te stellen voor de opening ervan. Prof infectioloog Lambert die het Lyme center met privegeld financiert, zegt dat dit een politieke beslissing is. Waarom toch? Lyme is zo een afschuwelijke ziekte.
