After 14 years, another important piece of the “bipolar” puzzle falls into place.
After three months the results of a revolutionary new Lyme disease test by Advanced Laboratory Services are in, at least for Christopher Moyer, my son. Scientists have found a way to take a sample of blood and grow spirochetes from it. Then PCR testing establishes if the genetic material is the same as Borrelia burgdorferi. Chris’ sample was one of those used by the company to initially assess their lab procedures which have been evolving on a daily basis. For example, according to Dr. Burrascano, since the PCR is proving to be highly accurate, even at the 6 day period, they will now be declaring positive results within six days, even before the motile spirochetes...

On January 25, 2012, I received word that Chris definitely has Lyme disease. The results from the new test for Borrelia burgdorferi by Advanced Laboratory Services came back positive. No more equivocating! The test grew live spirochetes from my son’s blood. After six days there was some Immuno staining suggestive of Borrelia burgdorferi, but the scientists could not find a spirochete and thus did not make a positive diagnosis. After two months the spirochetes were observed and confirmed by PCR. The epidemiological data is supported by the biological data. We already know about the six fold increased risk of psychosis with C. pneumonia. We already know about the almost...

If the remedies work, great, but I feel kind of lost when doctor Z starts talking about the physiological problems that may exist within my brain and body. The problem with my bipolar symptoms is that I can be just fine for a period of time, and then within days I can cycle and have a full blown episode. I remember the last time I was in the hospital- I felt just fine when they checked me in, though I had been starting to get hyper religious and talk to a lot of people about God. But...
