Epidemiology of BorreliosisEpidemiology of Borreliosis

in Germany 10 to 40 % of ticks are infected with Borreliafor an successfull contamination the ticks should suck up to > 6 hours (the shorter , the more unlikely are infections)

Infections from April to October early manifestation in June - peak at August

In Germany annualy up to 60.000 new infections with clinical manifestations

Conventional Medicine saysConventional Medicine says

Most valid diagnosis by skin biopsy or arthrocentesis of joint effusion

Assay of IG G and IG M of Borreliosis is only a presumption diagnosis

Result of positive LTTResult of positive LTT

a positive LTT of Borrelia says:

There are Borrelia- spezific T- memory-cellsin the blood, the infection is active!!

After a study of Hopf-Seidel on 210 Patients,2007,9% of the patients had negative serum findings but positive LTT! Every tenth of patients has false negative findings!Donta is reporting 2002 of 20% negative false findings in serum assays

Are Borrelia-spezific memory-T-cells in the blood of the patient ?

ICAK Meeting Antwerp September 2008Hypothesis of persisting or chronic Hypothesis of persisting or chronic

BorreliosisBorreliosis

Insufficient diagnosis and therapy ( often in conventional medicine )

Inducing of immunogene reactions by Borreliosis

( Prof. v. Baehr )

Persisting Neurotoxins in the fatty tissue ( Shoemaker )

Hiding of parasites in the connective tissue ( Donta )

ss

Conventional Medicine: Penicilline, Ampicillin, Tetracycline, Doxcycline, Ceftriaxone,

Cefaroxine, Clarithomycine, Azithromycine, Ciprofloxacine for a

fortnight or 4 weeks

Donta: Hihg dose antibiotics like a above, at least 1 month, when symptoms

were longer at least 3 month, when symptoms last for longer than a

year, treatment should last 12 to 18 month, toegether with

CHLOROQINE, an antimalarial, ( Resochine, Quensyl )

Shoemaker: From 4 to 6 weeks high dose antibiotics mostly Doxycycline

overlapping with colestyramine 2-4 g, when complications

Resume of problems in chronic Resume of problems in chronic borreliosisborreliosis

Serum diagnosis is not reliable

Conventional therapies often don‘t treat sufficently

Borreliosia can probably disappear from the surface

In certain phases antibiotics don‘t reach the parasite

Symptoms of chronic borreliosis are of great variety and not specific

Hypothesis and Hypothesis and ResultsResults

There are no really reliable labratory tools in veryfying chronic borreliosis

There are clues for hiding of Borrelia spirochetes in the tissue, causing no immune reaction

The most reliable labratory tool seems to be the Lymphocytes Transformation Test

Remarkable results supplies the DARKFIELD MICROSCOPY

Chronic Borreliosis seems more widespread than ever thought
