I’m an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon now retired. My daughter who 25 years ago moved to NJ. Within a short time she contacted Lyme disease. Time went by and she had a bad case of long Lyme, with many symptoms including cardiac. Twenty years later we find ourselves in the center of the Covid pandemic, if in fact that’s actually true, however my daughter calls me up and said she thought she had Covid. I Rx her ivermectin 8mg/day for 5 days. Several days after the treatment she called me up and said that she was not having any more Lyme symptoms, she thought she had been cured. This was later confirmed by blood work. Levels of Antibodies which had been elevated for 20 years were now normal!!

Another confirmation, thanks for your article!!

I landed in the hospital for 5 days with a case of acute Lyme Meningitis, which left one side of my face paralyzed. After going through a 21-day treatment of intervenous Ceftriaxone (Rocephin), the docs cut me loose (with my face still paralyzed) with a warning I'd probably have recurring symptoms. Thankfully a friend told me about what had finally cured HER chronic Lyme, which had plagued her for years, which was to take a recommended dose of ivermectin for 5 days (similar to covid), then take low-dose ivermectin for the following 30 days (1/4 dose). Then take a single full dose once a month for maintenance. About 10-20% of Lyme spirocytes are in a "bot" phase where the immune system doesn't recognize them as active, but ivermectin weakens and can kill them. If you HAVE an active Lyme infection, you're supposed to take the Doxycycline + Ivermectin together, but since I'd just finished up a full cycle of IV Ceftriaxone (which is like Doxycycline on steroids), I just took the ivermectin. Once a month I take my "maintenance" dose, but I have had NO recurring symptoms. I've regained function of around 85% of my face, but the neurologist said I'll probably have 15% permanent damage due to the Lyme parasites eating my brain. Blech! Bugs in your brain, how revolting! But the bugs are dead.

Oh, if you DO take doxycycline + ivermectin, be sure to take high-dose Vitamin C (1,000 mg/day) and drink a shit-ton of water every day to help flush it out. It will lessen the impact of the "bug" die-off, help you clear it better.
