I just got my bloodwork back for a Lyme antibody test.
41 KDD (IGG) BAND - REACTIVE
All others negative or non reactive
Right now I'm struggling to find good or what seems to be reliable resources. A lot of "hollistic" recommendations like yoga and epsom salt baths etc.
So. Any opinions on medication, supplements, resources would really be appreciated!
Thanks bros
Try 400mg Humanofort per day, it naturally occurring Cationic peptides and Thymosin Beta 4, and 2 MMB 750 capsules per day. You can purchase both product here on PM store.
Cationic peptides have been found to have activity against both Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria as well as fungi, eukaryotic parasites, and viruses [3]. Most importantly, cationic peptides are effective against strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria
Action of cationic peptides on outer membrane
In Gram negative bacteria, it is hypothesized that cationic peptides interact with the highly negatively charged outer membrane. The surface of the membrane contains magnesium ions which function to neutralize the charge and it is believed that the cationic peptides displace these magnesium ions [3]. The peptides then either bind tightly to the negatively charged membrane lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or neutralize the charge over an area of membrane subsequently distorting the membrane structure [3]. Once this occurs the peptides can translocate across the outer membrane.
2. Action of cationic peptides on cytoplasmic membrane
The bacterial cytoplasmic membrane is also negatively charged. Cationic peptides can insert in a position parallel to the membrane lipids and fold into membrane-bound structures leading to four possible outcomes [3]:
- cell lysis, although this is not very likely at physiological concentrations of cationic peptide
- channel formation, where the peptides reorient themselves in the cytoplasmic membrane in such a way that they form channels leading to a breakdown in membrane integrity
- the carpet model where cationic peptides cause the catastrophic breakdown of the membrane integrity
- direct killing of the bacterial cell by peptides attacking internal targets like cellular polyanions (for example, nucleic acids) in the cytoplasm after diffusing through both membranes
Roles in immunity
Cationic peptides not only directly kill bacteria, they also have profound effects on the host system [8,12-14]. It has been shown that cationic peptides can function to sequester LPS shed from Gram negative bacteria. This LPS functions as an endotoxin potentially leading to sepsis [3]. Cationic peptides have also been found to be potent chemo-attractants, recruiting antigen-presenting cells, which can initiate responses by the adaptive immune system [15]. They have also been known to recruit mast cells (a type of white blood cell).
