"Major Diseases Linked to Lyme Spirochete "
Lyme Spirochete Found in the Brain of MS Patients
The causative organism of Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi, has been found in the brains of many victims of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Listing 5: Lyme Disease Linked to Four Major Diseases Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Systemic Scleroderma and Arthritis
ALZHEIMER'S The spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi has been found in the brain of many Alzheimer patients. Also in the brain, antigens and genes of Bb have been co-localized with beta-amyloid deposits.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS The spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) has been found in the brain of many multiple sclerosis (MS) patients along with amyloid deposits. MS has been linked to Lyme disease both seasonally and by location.
SYSTEMIC SCLERODERMA The spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi has been found in the blood in systemic scleroderma. Treatment with antibiotics effective against Bb returned the skin to normal.
LYME-INDUCED ARTHRITIS Only certain strains of Bb are capable of causing the symptoms of arthritis.
