I hope you don’t mind. I’m helping Amy answer her questions.

Interesting question. I would imagine you would share this information with your partner. You don’t want to start the relationship off on a lie/omission, right? How significant is your Lyme marker?

As I see it, everyone is at least somewhat ill although some may take years for the symptoms to become serious enough to bring them up with an MD. Ultimately though, I believe the decision about how serious a condition would be is up to your partner.

For me, the question becomes when to disclose. I don’t know, maybe the second date or so???

I’m not sure there’s a Lyme dating site. : )

You know, this problem can be solved by doing the MP, which I assume you would look into.

Here’s the Knowledge Base article about contagiousness:

I have a question about dating. I had the most thorough of the IGenex tests done, with all the coinfection tests and the only thing that came up positive was a single plus(39+) and double plus(41++) and according to the physician on staff the test reveals that I have an inactive form of Lyme or that I was exposed to the borrelia burgdorf bacteria in the past.

My question is, do I need to disclose this to every prospective wife(date)? And if so, how do I approach it? I want to think of her before myself and do what is right for her no matter what.

But I am also wondering, because I know that most people if not all people harbor viruses from chicken pox and many other illnesses that never completely leave your body, and I imagine this is the case for many bacteria. And I read that the vast majority of people already have some type of L-form bacteria. This being the case, if I treat the disease successfully do I still need to disclose this? And if so, what information should I disclose?

I also read that if a person eliminates(I am not sure if it can be 100% eliminated) the bacteria through the Marshall protocol there is very little chance of passing the bacteria on to a spouse or children.

Also, is there a Lyme dating sight? hahaha, or something of the sort?

Thank you very much,

Francis

I’m very sorry to hear that your son came in contact with so many bacteria at an early age. Although he may seem to be improving, the bacteria he once acquired as a child as still likely persisting in chronic forms in his body. So if he starts to become more symptomatic in any way, make sure you strongly consider putting him on the Marshall Protocol. The treatment is discussed in further detail on this site and also on the Marshall Protocol study site – http://www.marshallprotocol.com.

The patient advocates at the following website can help guide you through the process of putting your son on the MP, so keep the website in mind.

It’s very important that your son start the MP as soon as possible if he shows any symptoms of disease. The sooner one starts the MP, the easier the treatment is, and the shorter it takes to complete. Also, children generally tend to progress very well through the MP so I am quite optimistic that your son will be able to recover his health should any of the bacteria he acquired cause more problems.

Thanks for sharing your insights and I’m glad you could identify with the article. I’m sorry that you had to see the effects on infection on babies in person. It’s critical that the medical community develop a much greater awareness when it comes to protecting babies from such a wide variety of harmful microbes during the early weeks of life. So much damage can be done during that short period of time.

I have many friends who are nurses and I worry about them. I can already see that nearly all of them have symptoms of Th1 disease, and I have little doubt that the reason they are getting sick at such a fast rate is because they are constantly working with people who harbor very high bacterial loads. I would encourage any nurse or doctor to go on the MP regardless of whether they have been diagnosed with a Th1 disease, just so that the MP antibiotics can kill the bacteria they are constantly coming in contact with because of the patients they work with.

Best,

Amy
