Wisconsin Watch yog chav xov xwm uas tsis muaj txiaj ntsig uas tsom mus rau tsoomfwv kev ncaj ncees thiab teeb meem ntawm lub neej zoo. Sau npe rau peb tsab ntawv xov xwm rau ntau zaj dab neeg ncaj nraim rau koj lub inbox.
Yog tias lub neej tau mus raws li qhov tau npaj tseg, Maria Alice Lima Freitas yuav nyob hauv tsev kawm kho mob, tau txais kev tshoov siab los ntawm nws txiv txoj haujlwm, kws phais neeg ua haujlwm hauv Brazil. Tab sis hloov pauv txoj haujlwm, tus kws kho mob 49 xyoo tau so haujlwm los ntawm University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Freitas hais tias nws tus kab mob Lyme uas tsis tau kuaj pom tau ua rau nws lub zog, ua rau nws xav thiab ua rau mob hauv nws caj dab, xub pwg, tes thiab lub hauv caug sab xis. Nws tau ncua peb zaug nws nkag mus rau hauv tsev kawm kho mob thaum tawm tsam nrog ntau cov tsos mob uas nws ua rau Lyme.
Feem ntau ntawm nws cov kws kho mob hais tias nws tau yuam kev, thiab nws cov tsos mob, uas tau pib xyoo 2015, yog vim mob caj dab rheumatoid.
Freitas yog ntawm ntau txhiab tus Wisconsinites uas hais tias lawv raug mob los ntawm tus kab mob mus ntev lossis ntev. Tus kab mob no los ntawm cov zuam me me uas feem ntau pom nyob rau sab qaum teb Asmeskas, suav nrog hauv Wisconsin - uas yog qhov chaw kub kub rau Lyme, qeb thib 5 ntawm cov xeev rau cov mob Lyme xyoo 2019.
Hauv teb chaws, tus kab mob Lyme kis tus kab mob kwv yees 476,000 neeg ib xyoos. Wisconsin Department of Health Services lus ceeb toom lub xeev muaj 3,076 tus neeg mob tus kab mob Lyme nyob rau xyoo 2020 - nce ob npaug hauv 15 xyoo dhau los. Tab sis kws kho mob entomologists hais tias Lyme mob hauv lub xeev tuaj yeem yog 10 npaug ntau dua li tshaj tawm.
Lub tsev kho mob hu Lyme ib tus kab mob luv luv uas feem ntau daws tau sai sai nrog tshuaj tua kab mob. Tus kheej piav qhia "Lyme-literate" cov kws kho mob sib cav cov neeg mob zoo li Freitas raug kev txom nyem los ntawm tus kab mob mus ntev, feem ntau hu ua Tus kab mob Lyme.
Txoj haujlwm orthodox tuav los ntawm feem ntau cov kws tshaj lij thiab qee tus koom haum ua teb - thiab pom zoo los ntawm US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - yog tias tus kab mob Lyme yog ib qho kab mob sib kis. Kev kuaj mob yog nyob ntawm a "bull's-eye" ua pob, lwm cov tsos mob tshwj xeeb thiab kev kuaj ob-tiered antibody. Kev kho mob yog los ntawm kev kawm luv luv ntawm qhov ncauj tshuaj tua kab mob. Thiab cov tsos mob tsis tshua muaj tshwm sim.
Tus qauv tshuaj tiv thaiv kab mob rau tus kab mob Lyme, tshem tau los ntawm Food and Drug Administration thiab pom zoo los ntawm cov tuam txhab tuav pov hwm, tau raug thuam los ntawm cov neeg mob thiab cov kws kho mob tsis txaus los kuaj xyuas txhua tus neeg mob. Qee tus kws kho mob muab lwm yam kev sim thiab kev kho mob, tab sis kev pov hwm tsis them tus nqi ntawm lawv txoj kev saib xyuas. Thiab nyob rau hauv qhov xwm txheej hnyav, cov kws kho mob zoo li no txaus ntshai kev qhuab ntuas.
Rau ntau tus neeg, tus kab mob Lyme yog kho tau thiab kho tau. Feem ntau cov neeg mob tshaj tawm lawv cov tsos mob tshem tawm tom qab kawm luv luv ntawm cov tshuaj tua kab mob yog tias tus kab mob no tau lees paub thiab kho ntxov. Lwm 10-20% ntawm cov neeg mob muaj mob hnyav dua uas nws cov tsos mob xws li mob hnyav, qaug zog, lub hlwb pos huab, chim siab thiab pw tsaug zog tsis zoo.
Txhawb nqa peb cov ntawv xov xwm uas tau txheeb xyuas qhov tseeb
Cov neeg mob tawv nqaij tawv ntsib teeb meem tshwj xeeb hauv kev kuaj mob Lyme. Kev txheeb xyuas lub hom phiaj liab ntawm lub teeb ntawm daim tawv nqaij yog ib qho yooj yim rau cov neeg tawv nqaij, tab sis tsis yog li ntawd nrog cov tawv nqaij tones. Tsis ntev los no UCLA txoj kev tshawb no pom tias 34% ntawm cov neeg mob Dub uas muaj tus kab mob Lyme muaj cov teeb meem hauv paj hlwb piv rau tsuas yog 9% ntawm cov neeg dawb, qhia tias tus kab mob no yuav tsis raug lees paub rau ntau tus neeg mob Dub nyob rau theem ua ntej thaum kho tau yooj yim dua.
Cov neeg mob uas muaj cov tsos mob tsis tu ncua nyuaj kom tau txais kev kuaj mob. Wisconsin Watch tau hais lus nrog tsib tus neeg ntxiv rau Freitas uas nws qhov kev pheej hmoo, cov tsos mob tshwm sim tawm sab nraud ntawm cov ntsiab lus tseem ceeb ntawm Lyme yog tus kab mob hnyav. Tau ntes nyob rau hauv nruab nrab ntawm kev sib cav, lawv ntsib kev xav, lub cev, lub hlwb thiab nyiaj txiag qaug zog thaum lawv thaws ntawm cov kws tshwj xeeb hauv kev tshawb nrhiav cov lus piav qhia rau lawv qhov mob.
Freitas hais tias "Qhov zoo tshaj plaws uas kuv tuaj yeem piav qhia ... Kuv tab tom hla ntuj raug txim, (thiab) txuas ntxiv mus," Freitas hais.
Kev kuaj mob: kab mob viral, mob caj dab
Freitas 'Lyme taug kev pib thaum Lub Peb Hlis 2019 thaum nws tau tawm tsam txhua hli kub taub hau. Nws muaj teeb meem pw tsaug zog thaum tsaus ntuj. Nws cov plaub hau sai poob tawm. Thiab nws lub cev mob thiab nws caj dab txhav. Nws raug mob hnyav hauv nws pob qij txha, pob txha thiab hauv siab. Nws kuj xav tias nkees. Thaum xub thawj, Freitas tau hais txog qhov kev qaug zog ntawm lub zais zis uas nws tau ua tiav thaum lub Plaub Hlis. Ua npaws ntaus nws thaum lub Rau Hli thiab dua thaum Lub Xya Hli.
Qhov mob uas tsis tuaj yeem ua rau nws nyuaj rau nws ua haujlwm. Nws zoo li ib tug neeg tab tom khawb sab hauv ntawm nws lub hauv caug sab xis nrog rab riam. Thaum lub Yim Hli xyoo ntawd, Freitas tau so haujlwm, tsis tuaj yeem ua haujlwm.
Nws tau mus xyuas Madison tsev kho mob ob peb hnub. Nws hais tias tus kws kho mob tau xaj ntau yam kev sim - tab sis tsis yog rau Lyme. Freitas tau kuaj pom tias muaj tus kab mob kis, uas nws hais tias ua tsis tiav nws piav qhia tag nrho nws cov tsos mob, suav nrog hluav taws xob ntawm nws lub ntsej muag thiab caj npab thiab tsis nco qab.
Plaub lub caij ntuj sov ua ntej, Freitas tau hais tias nws zoo ib yam li mob qhov muag, mob pob tw, qaug zog, tsis nco qab thiab mob taub hau. Nws nco qab cov pob khaus uas nyob ntawm nws txhais ceg tsawg kawg peb lub lis piam. Freitas pom tus kws kho mob rheumatologist ntawm St. Mary's thaum ntxov Lub Xya Hli 2015.
Tus kws kho mob pom qhov chaw liab ntawm nws txhais ceg, tab sis nws tsis yog lub cim Lyme classic ntawm "bull's-eye" pob. Nws nco qab tias raug sim rau Lyme, tab sis qhov kev sim ob-kauj ruam rov qab los tsis zoo.
Tus kws kho mob pom tias qhov chaw liab yog kab laug sab tom thiab kuaj pom nws muaj mob caj dab. Tom qab noj tshuaj kho mob rau ib hlis, Freitas pib zoo. Thaum cov tsos mob tshwm sim ntau dua hauv 2019, nws pom tau tias tus kab mob kis tau tus mob ib leeg tsis piav qhia rau lawv. Freitas pib nyeem cov lus hais txog tus kab mob Lyme.
Nws tus txiv, John Oppenheimer, nco qab nws tus poj niam noj cov ntawv xov xwm kho mob. Freitas muaj bachelor's degree hauv biology los ntawm UW-Madison thiab tus tswv hauv kev sib yuav thiab kev kho tsev neeg los ntawm Edgewood College. Thaum kawg ntawm 2018, Florida-based kev kawm kho mob tau txais nws mus rau qhov kev pab cuam ua ntej, tab sis nws qhov kev noj qab haus huv poob qis tau cuam tshuam cov phiaj xwm no.
Freitas ntab qhov Lyme hypothesis rau tus kws kho mob rheumatologist, uas hnov qhov mob pob qij txha thiab tes o zoo li zoo li mob caj dab (RA). Cov qhabnias xeem kuj qhia tias Freitas yuav muaj RA.
Cov lus nug txog kev sim
Freitas tsis ntseeg. "Kuv muaj lwm yam tsos mob uas piav tsis tau los ntawm RA," nws hais. Nws tau nyeem cov ntawv xov xwm hais txog qhov nyuaj hauv kev kuaj mob Lyme, nrhiav cov kev ntsuam xyuas pom zoo "zoo nkauj poob."
CDC pom zoo a ob-kauj ruam xeem txheej txheem rau kev txiav txim seb tus neeg puas muaj tus kab mob Lyme. Ob qhov kev kuaj ntshav yuav tsum tau tawm los zoo - lossis tsawg kawg tsis paub meej - rau kev kuaj mob Lyme, lub koom haum pom zoo.
Ob qhov kev sim ntsuas cov tshuaj tiv thaiv uas tuaj yeem nyob hauv tib neeg lub cev rau ntau lub hlis lossis ntau xyoo thiab yog li tsis tuaj yeem qhia tias muaj tus kab mob tsis tu ncua. "Nws tsis tuaj yeem qhia tau thaum twg koj kis tau," Elitza Theel, tus thawj coj ntawm Mayo Clinic's Infectious Diseases Serology Laboratory.
Thiab qhov kev xeem muaj lwm yam drawbacks. Theel tau hais tias "Nws tsis tuaj yeem qhia qhov mob hnyav li cas (yog), thiab nws tsis tuaj yeem qhia seb koj puas tau teb rau kev kho mob," Theel tau hais. "Nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb uas yuav tsum nco ntsoov tias peb tsis ua qhov kev kuaj mob raws li qhov ntsuas tau ib leeg."
Nws tau hais ntxiv tias qhov kev sim no kuj tsis tuaj yeem siv los kuaj xyuas lwm yam kab mob uas tuaj yeem ua rau cov tsos mob zoo li Lyme. Nws tau hais tias "Koj yuav tsum tau sim rau lwm tus kabmob," nws hais.
Freitas tau kuaj pom qhov zoo hauv thawj theem ntawm kev sim tab sis tsis yog qhov thib ob, qhia peb pawg es tsis yog tsib qhov uas CDC hais tias yog pov thawj ntawm tus kab mob Lyme.
Nws hais kom tus kws kho mob rheumatologist kom xaj ib hom kev sim sib txawv los ntawm IGeneX, lub chaw kuaj mob hauv California, vam tias lub tuam txhab pov hwm yuav tsawg kawg them qee tus nqi. Nws tsis tau.
“Nws kim heev. Kuv tsis muaj nyiaj. Kuv tau tawm ntawm kuv txoj haujlwm txij li lub Yim Hli," Freitas hais.
Cov txiaj ntsig tau los ntawm qhov kev sim ntawd tuaj rau lub Kaum Ob Hlis 2019. Nws qhia tau tias nws muaj tus kab mob Lyme. Txawm li cas los xij, qhov kev sim IGeneX tsis yog qhov tseeb, ib yam, Theel tau hais. Nws tau hais tias "Lawv cov txheej txheem tsis nruj dua li CDC," nws hais tias, "uas yuav ua rau muaj ntau dua cov txiaj ntsig tsis zoo."
Nws tus kws kho mob rheumatologist tsis kam lees txais qhov tshwm sim, Freitas thiab Oppenheimer tau hais, hu nws tias "kev sim quav."
Kev noj qab haus huv woes ua rau nws tus kheej tsis ntseeg
Oppenheimer tau hais tias Freitas, ib zaug tsis muaj kev ywj pheej, nce nyob ntawm nws thaum nws tawm tsam nws txoj kev noj qab haus huv. Ob leeg tau ntsib thaum nws tseem yog ib leej niam tsav tsheb npav Madison Metro thiab cov chav kawm juggling ntawm UW-Madison. Oppenheimer tau hnov nws hais lus Portuguese, thiab nws sim sau ib kab lus uas nws hais tau tib yam lus. Qhov ntawd coj mus rau thawj hnub - thiab hauv 2011, kev sib yuav.
Tab sis hnub no, Oppenheimer tau hais tias, nws tus poj niam yog "dhau heev."
Thiab txawm tias cov phooj ywg thiab cov neeg hauv tsev neeg nug seb cov tsos mob Freitas piav qhia puas muaj tseeb.
Freitas hais tias, "Thaum txhua leej txhua tus hais tias nws tsis yog Lyme," Freitas hais tias, "koj pib nug koj tus kheej."
Nws tau sim kawm plaub lub lis piam ntawm doxycycline, thawj kab tshuaj tua kab mob rau kev kho tus kab mob Lyme, sau los ntawm lwm tus kws kho mob rheumatologist. Nws pib hnov zoo dua, nrog qhov mob tsawg dua thiab lub paj hlwb tsawg dua. Txawm li cas los xij, cov tsos mob rov qab los thaum nws ua tiav kev kho mob. Nws txawm pom nws tus kheej pib stutter.
Oppenheimer nws tus kheej tau kuaj pom tus kab mob Lyme thaum muaj hnub nyoog 19 xyoo. Thaum lub sij hawm, nws nyob tsawg dua 50 mais ntawm Lyme, Connecticut, lub zej zog uas tus kab mob no muaj npe.
Nws tau piav txog "kev khav theeb tsis txaus siab" los ntawm lub chaw kho mob kom paub txog qhov nws ntseeg tias yog nws tus poj niam cov tsos mob ntawm tus kab mob Lyme.
"(Kuv tsuas yog sim nyob ntawd nrog nws thiab zoo li tsis muaj dab tsi ua tau, thiab saib nws txaus ntshai," nws hais.
Lyme controversial los ntawm qhov pib
Thaum lub caij nplooj zeeg xyoo 1975, Polly Murray, tus kws kos duab thiab leej niam ntawm plaub hauv Lyme, tau tshaj tawm rau lub chaw saib xyuas kev noj qab haus huv hauv lub xeev tias nws thiab nws cov menyuam raug kev txom nyem los ntawm cov kab mob tsis zoo, suav nrog lub hauv caug o thiab pob khaus. Thiab cov menyuam yaus nyob sib ze tau muaj cov tsos mob zoo sib xws.
Cov kws kho mob tau kuaj pom cov menyuam yaus muaj mob rheumatoid mob caj dab. Lwm leej niam los ntawm cheeb tsam, Judith Mensch, kuj hu rau lub xeev lub chaw saib xyuas kev noj qab haus huv. Thaum kawg, pawg tau txhawb nqa cov neeg saib xyuas kev noj qab haus huv hauv Connecticut. Yale University tus Dr. Allen Steere, uas tseem yog tus kws kho mob rheumatologist-hauv-kev cob qhia, pib tshawb nrhiav qhov laj thawj.
Xyoo tom qab, Steere hais rau tus Phau ntawv Journal ntawm lub American Medical Association, hais tias nws xav tias muaj mob los ntawm qee hom kab mob.
Thaum xyoo 1980s, Willy Burgdorfer, kws kho mob entomologist ntawm Rocky Mountain Laboratories, txheeb xyuas cov kab mob uas ua rau muaj kev nyuaj siab tsis meej. Nws muaj npe Borrelia burgdorferi qab nws.
Robert A. Aronowitz, tus kws kho mob keeb kwm ntawm University of Pennsylvania, hais tias kev sib faib ntawm Cov tshuaj tseem ceeb thiab Lyme cov neeg tawm tswv yim pib ntxov - nrog Polly Murray nws tus kheej. Nws tau sau tseg tias Murray tau tsim cov pab pawg Lyme hauv zej zog pib txij xyoo 1980s uas tau pib tso lawv tus kheej "kev tawm tsam rau tus kws kho mob Lyme tus kab mob thiab cov kws tshawb fawb thiab lawv txoj kev xav txog tus kab mob."
Hauv nws phau ntawv 1996, Lub Vaj Huam Sib Luag, Murray ceeb toom txog cov mob mus ntev ntawm tus kab mob. "Rau kuv, qhov tseeb tias qee qhov xwm txheej zoo li mob ntev, kav ntev rau ntau xyoo, txhais tau hais tias qee qhov kev kis tus kab mob ua rau qee tus neeg mob thiab raug teeb tsa los ntawm kev tiv thaiv kab mob, tej zaum cov neeg mob tau rov kis los ntawm kab mob," nws sau.
Ob lub chaw pw hav zoov, ob txoj hauv kev
Freitas pom ib txoj hlua ntev ntawm cov kws kho mob tseem ceeb rau kev kuaj mob - kws kho mob rheumatologist, kws kho mob tshwj xeeb, kws kho mob hauv tsev neeg thiab cov kws kho mob hauv chav xwm txheej ceev.Tom qab ntawd, lub caij nplooj ntoo hlav xyoo 2020, nws pib pom cov kws kho mob sab nraud hauv thiab sab nraud Wisconsin. , thiab ntau ntawm lawv tsis tau txais kev pov hwm.
A daim ntawv ntsuam xyuas ntawm ntau dua 2,400 tus neeg mob Asmeskas pom tias 50% ntawm cov neeg teb tau tshaj tawm pom tsawg kawg yog xya tus kws kho mob ua ntej kev kuaj mob Lyme, thiab ntau dua ib nrab txuas ntxiv cov tsos mob tsawg kawg rau lub hlis tom qab kev pom zoo luv luv ntawm cov tshuaj tua kab mob.
Thaum Lub Ib Hlis 2021, Freitas qiv $ 4,000 los ntawm nws niam tais thiab ya mus rau Washington, DC, kom tau txais txhaj tshuaj tiv thaiv kab mob. Cov kev kho mob ua tsis tau tejyam pab; Qhov tseeb nws poob 30 phaus hauv ib lub lis piam. Freitas hais tias "Kuv xav tias kuv yuav tuag vim kuv noj tsis tau," Freitas hais.
Nws txuas ntxiv mus nrhiav kws kho mob.
Thaum Lub Tsib Hlis 19, Oppenheimer thiab Freitas tau tsav tsheb los ntawm lawv lub tsev nyob hauv ib cheeb tsam ntsiag to hauv Middleton mus rau sab qaum teb Wisconsin.
Lawv tab tom taug kev mus rau virtual nrog Dr. Samuel Shor. Virginia-based internist ua haujlwm rau cov Tick-Borne Illness Center of Excellence hauv Woodruff, Wisconsin. Shor, uas kuj yog tus kws tshaj lij kho mob ntawm George Washington University, pom cov neeg mob hauv Wisconsin ntawm telemedicine, them $ 490 rau kev sab laj thawj zaug.
Raws li yav dhau los tus thawj tswj hwm ntawm International Lyme thiab Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), Shor ua raws li kev kuaj mob thiab kev kho mob uas lub koom haum kis kab mob sib kis ntawm Asmeskas (IDSA) feem ntau tsis lees paub. Dr. Paul Auwaerter ntawm Johns Hopkins Medicine, yav tas los tus thawj tswj hwm ntawm IDSA, hu cov kws kho mob uas kho cov neeg mob rau Lyme mob ntev "kev tiv thaiv" thiab muaj kev phom sij rau cov neeg mob thiab cov kws kho mob.
"Nws poob siab rau kuv tias tib neeg siv lub npe hu los ntawm ob sab,"
hais tias Dr. Elizabeth Maloney, ib tug kws kho mob hauv tsev neeg los ntawm Minnesota uas tau pab sau qhov tseeb cov lus qhia txog kev kho tus kab mob Lyme. "Nws tsis muaj txiaj ntsig, thiab nws ua rau cov neeg mob tsis muaj kev ntseeg siab hauv peb txoj haujlwm tag nrho."
Cov lus qhia tawm los ntawm IDSA khaws cov pab pawg cov lus pom zoo tawm tsam kev kho tshuaj tua kab mob rau cov neeg mob uas muaj cov tsos mob tsis tu ncua. Nws kuj tau tshem tawm ib lo lus pom zoo yav dhau los - Tom Qab Kev Kho Mob Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) - rau kev txhais cov neeg mob uas muaj cov tsos mob tsis tu ncua tom qab kawm luv luv ntawm kev kho tshuaj tua kab mob.
Maloney, tus thawj coj hais tias, "Lawv tsis xav mus rau hauv qhov kev sib tw ntawd ntxiv lawm," Kev koom tes rau Tick-Borne Disease Education Education. "Lawv tsis tham txog yuav ua li cas rau cov neeg mob uas tsis zoo tag nrho. Nws zoo li lub thawv dub. "
Tus kab mob yog complex. Yog tias tsis kho, Lyme tuaj yeem cuam tshuam rau ntawm daim tawv nqaij, pob qij txha, lub paj hlwb lossis lub plawv. Cov kab mob sib kis tau tawm tsam cov ntaub so ntswg thiab tuaj yeem txav mus los thiab "nrhiav lawv txoj hauv kev mus rau ... ntau yam ntawm lub cev," said Dean Nardelli, tus kws tshaj lij uas kawm tom qab-theem kab mob Lyme ntawm UW-Milwaukee's Biomedical Sciences Lab Programs.
Nyob rau hauv ib tug 2019 tsab xov xwm hauv phau ntawv Journal Antibiotics, Shor hais tias mob Lyme yog "feem ntau raug tso tseg raws li qhov chaw tsis tseeb." Nws thiab nws cov kws sau ntawv tau sab laj nrog ntau dua 250 cov ntawv txheeb xyuas cov neeg txheeb ze taw qhia rau "kev mob ntau yam uas muaj ntau yam tsos mob," tsis tu ncua lossis tsis tu ncua, kav ntev li rau lub hlis.
Lawv tau sau tias "Cov tsos mob thiab cov tsos mob yuav wax, wane thiab tsiv teb tsaws," lawv sau.
Lwm yam kab mob los liam?
Shor thiab nws tus kws sau ntawv, suav nrog Maloney, tawm tswv yim tias cov tsos mob lingering yog tshwm sim los ntawm ntau yam kab mob los ntawm cov kab mob. Borrelia burgdorferi tsev neeg los yog lwm yam kab mob kis los ntawm tus kab mob.
Nardelli tau hais tias muaj ntau yam tsos mob thiab qhov hnyav ntawm cov neeg mob Lyme, thiab cov tsos mob tuaj yeem tshwm sim los ntawm cov lus teb rau cov kab mob microbes.
“Kev mob yog ib feem loj ntawm kev tiv thaiv kab mob. Nws yog ib qho ntawm kev tiv thaiv pem hauv ntej uas peb muaj, thiab nws muaj qhov tsis zoo no, tab sis nws yog npaj rau qhov zoo, "nws hais. "Koj lub cev tiv thaiv kab mob (yog) sim tua kab mob ... thiab ua li ntawd, tuaj yeem ua rau muaj kev puas tsuaj, qhov tseem ceeb."
Qee qhov kev xav tau qhia tias qhov txawv ntawm cov kab mob Lyme tiv taus cov tshuaj tua kab mob. Lwm tus sib cav hais tias Lyme mob ntev yog tshwm sim los ntawm lub zog tiv thaiv kab mob - lossis nws tuaj yeem ua rau muaj kab mob autoimmune. Lub hauv paus neural networks tuaj yeem hloov pauv, muaj kev cuam tshuam loj rau cov tsos mob - lossis kev sib xyaw ntawm cov xwm txheej no.
Nardelli tab tom tshawb nrhiav seb lub cev tiv thaiv kab mob cuam tshuam li cas los ntawm tus kab mob Lyme, kev tshawb fawb uas tuaj yeem pab kho cov neeg muaj kev cuam tshuam ntev tom qab kis kab mob. Nws hais tias kev tshawb fawb tuaj yeem ua rau qeeb qeeb ntawm kev tau txais kev paub tshiab, thiab nws "nyuaj" rau cov neeg mob uas tsis muaj lus teb meej.
Qhov ntawd tuaj yeem ua rau lawv mus nrhiav cov kws kho mob tsis txaus ntseeg lossis poob rau kev kho mob kim uas tsis ua haujlwm. Nardelli tau hais tias "Koj tawm mus nrhiav cov kws kho mob uas kuaj txhua yam raws li tus kab mob Lyme," Nardelli tau hais.
Rau cov xwm txheej nyuaj, Maloney tau hais tias cov kws kho mob yuav tsum mus cuag cov neeg mob raws li tus kws tshawb nrhiav xav, tshem tawm lwm yam kev muaj peev xwm mus txog thaum tau txais kev kuaj mob.
Nws tau hais tias "Lub hom phiaj tag nrho yog kom tib neeg muaj kev kuaj mob zoo kom lawv tuaj yeem tau txais kev kho mob uas lawv xav tau," nws hais.
Freitas tau hais tias nws tso siab rau Shor, uas tau lees paub nws qhov kev xeem IGeneX rau Lyme thiab kuj tau kuaj pom tias nws muaj ntau yam kev txom nyem: babesiosis, uas muaj qee cov tsos mob zoo ib yam li Lyme thiab tuaj yeem los ntawm tib cov zuam; bartonella, tseem hu ua cat scratch fever; thiab chronic fatigue syndrome.
Lwm txoj kev kho mob yuav pab tau
Freitas tam sim no siv Epsom ntsev da dej rau hnub Mondays, Wednesdays, thiab Fridays thiab siv infrared sauna rau "detoxification," hais tias nws ua rau nws lub cev zoo.
Thiab tam sim no nws noj 30 ntsiav tshuaj txhua hnub, sib xyaw tshuaj tua kab mob nrog tshuaj ntsuab thiab tshuaj noj, uas raug nqi siab dua $ 1,200 ib hlis.
Freitas hais tias "Rau babesia ... Kuv tab tom noj cov dej kub ... Mepron," Freitas hais. “Nws kim heev. Nws yog 50 bucks rau 80 milliliters, uas kav ob lub lis piam. "
Nws muab cov mis nyuj, gluten, thiab qab zib kom txo tau qhov mob.
Thiab nws ntsib nrog Shor txhua hli hauv online los ntawm nws lub tsev ntawm tus nqi ntawm $ 250 toj ib zaug, uas kev pov hwm tsis them.
"Nws yog rau kuv (uas) cov nyiaj tau them zoo. Kuv muaj kev thaj yeeb nyab xeeb, "Freitas hais. "Kuv xav tias kuv tau zoo lawm."
Freitas tau hais tias nws pib rov qab qee qhov hnyav thaum Lub Rau Hli. Nws lub siab tau ua kom meej meej me ntsis. Nws lub cim xeeb mus ntev zoo li rov qab me ntsis, ib yam nkaus. "Kuv tabtom tawm ntawm lub ntxa," nws hais.
Oppenheimer hais rau nws tus poj niam: "Qhov kuv pom yog koj zoo dua piv rau thaum pib ntawm (2021), vim tias koj tseem tsis zoo."
Rau Freitas, kev tawm tsam rau kev lees paub - thiab kev pab ntawm nws cov tsos mob - txuas ntxiv mus. Nws thiab nws tus txiv tau hloov kho lawv lub tsev nyob rau lub caij ntuj sov, kho lawv lub tsev ob-zaj nrog txoj kev npaj yuav xauj ib theem los them rau Freitas 'kev kho mob tsis tu ncua.
Thiab nws tseem tuav tawm "me ntsis nplaim taws ntawm kev cia siab" ntawm ib hnub dhau los ua kws kho mob - ib yam li nws txiv.
