No, live blood analysis is not enough for this. Just because they are no longer in your bloodstream doesn't mean they aren't in the tissues, which is where they like to stay until they are ready to replicate.

Also, as arermix said, for some, the bacteria never goes away - it's about getting symptom free. Usually we say that a person needs to be symptom free for 2 months before stopping treatments. This is to get at least 2 life cycles past the stop of symptoms, to hopefully catch any remaining bacteria.

But don't forget, Lyme rarely is found by itself, so you could easily still have other infections that need to be treated.

I don't think it goes away. I think your body learns how to hold it in remission. Well, your body and your mind.

I had a very stressful situation come up and I started to get that lyme head pain that was my first symptom. I did some strange things to calm myself down and the pain went away.

To me, it was a warning. No stress. In fact I am sure that I need to stay on an even keel from here on for the rest of my life.

Lyme is lurking and just waiting for me to let my guard down. I must maintain my good eating habits, get enough sleep, regular bowel movements, good supplements and no overdoing anything! Oh and continue to detox, which I have always done anyway.

And keep on hand some Rescue Remedy and some Kava tea or tincture for those stress situations.

I agree with those that believe that there will always be at least a minimal presence of Borrelia in the body. As has already been said, nobody can prove it either way,as such a definitive test does not exist.

Having said that, here's my "evidence."

1) There are many other pathogens that continue to have a minimal presence in the body even after the person is "cured."

2) Borrelia is a "stealth" pathogen. It can also hide in areas of the body with little or no immune surveillance.

3) As far as I know, a person that has had chronic LD will continue to test positive indefinitely after they are "cured".... such as my daughter. She hasn't taken any ABX, whether pharmaceutical or herbal for 5 years.

4) Good health is not necessarily contingent upon the absolute elimination of all pathogens. this is related to #1.

There are other lines of evidence as well, but they are not flowing out of the file cabinet into my stream of consciousness at the moment. This will have to suffice.

My doctor recently told me (again) that there are many people with Lyme and/or co-infections and viruses that they will never show symptoms as their immune systems are just keeping all that in check. In fact, he said that he is convinced that he probably has Lyme but because his immune system is so strong he will probably never show symptoms. Both his son and wife had it and he treated them both successfully.

bluelyme I am fine. No meds or herbs needed.

I am keeping my immune system strong enough to keep my lyme in remission.

It is a daily job to stay healthy enough to not let the lyme out.
