Try sodium Chlorite mixed with citric acid. Should clear up lymes disease in about 2 weeks after reaching a dosage of 15 drops twice a day. Go slow as it is a powerful infection fighters and body cleanser. fBK

Sodium Chlorite is classified by the FDA as a toxic substance. It is not recognised in any way as medical treatment for any condition and in this case, may add insult to injury..

Lyme's disease does not occur in Thailand so hands-on expertise may be a bit hard to locate. Best to start with Infectious disease specialists at a big hospital such as Bumrungrad or even Chulalungkorn.

FDA Warns Consumers of Serious Harm from Drinking Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS)

Product contains industrial strength bleach

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to take Miracle Mineral Solution, an oral liquid also known as “Miracle Mineral Supplement” or “MMS.” The product, when used as directed, produces an industrial bleach that can cause serious harm to health.

The FDA has received several reports of health injuries from consumers using this product, including severe nausea, vomiting, and life-threatening low blood pressure from dehydration. Consumers who have MMS should stop using it immediately and throw it away.

MMS is distributed on Internet sites and online auctions by multiple independent distributors. Although the products share the MMS name, the look of the labeling may vary.

The product instructs consumers to mix the 28 percent sodium chlorite solution with an acid such as citrus juice. This mixture produces chlorine dioxide, a potent bleach used for stripping textiles and industrial water treatment. High oral doses of this bleach, such as those recommended in the labeling, can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and symptoms of severe dehydration.

As already mentioned there is little experience in thailand as there are no ticks at the moment who transfer the bacteria.If these ticks transfer the virus you can get meningitis.I had borreliose but it was treated soon with antibiotics and did not develop into lyme borreliose.

[bunnaag]

The treatment in the later stages is complicated different types of antibiotics are used.As already mentioned little experience in Thailand up to now no ticks are known who transfer the bacterias ore the virus which will cause meningitis.I do not know where your friend comes from but I would advise you to contact per e-mail or phone if possible the neurological section of any well known university hospital from your country.In Germany they have extensive experience and also in America.Where was he treated before he came to Thailand?

This Infectious disease specialist trained and worked in the US for some time:

Dr. KRIRK ASAVAMETHA

He is at both BNH and Samitivej

Board certified in ID in the US in 2009 so should be up on Lyme disease

good luck

[mrgreg]

Anyone went to see this doctor? Or do you know any other doctors who could be Lyme disease specialists?

[Sheryl]

Basically any infectious disease specialist who trained/worked in the US is likely to be up on this. Look for docs with Board certification in the US in infectious diseases obtained within the past 15 years and preferranbly not ones whose primary interest is HIV.

You might try Dr. Nick Walters at the Bkk Adventist hospital, US and UK trained and, has the name suggests, one of the few farang docs licensed to practice in Thailand.
