A condition called “neuroborreliosis” occurs when the bacterial spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme Disease, gains access to the nervous system following the tick bite. Antibiotics are the drugs of choice to eradicate Lyme Disease, but they don’t always work. In 2022, The CDC reported 476,000 new cases of Lyme Disease, whereas 20 years ago, fewer than ½ of that number of cases were diagnosed. Knowing that more and more new cases were being identified, in 2004, researchers began thinking outside of the antibiotic-box when looking for another remedy. What they found offered dramatic relief, but as far as I can tell, it was never reported on again. The surprising report, published in The European Journal of Medical Research (1) told of 11 patients diagnosed with neuroborreliosis who were placed on an antifungal drug called Diflucan (200mg daily for 25 days). These 11 people were all sick with symptoms of Lyme Disease. At the end of the small study, 8 had no Lyme symptoms and remained free of them through their one-year follow up examination. The remaining 4 patient’s symptoms were also considerably improved.
MY SUMMARY: Antibiotics failed all 11 of these Lyme patients, so some clever researchers decided to try a common anti-fungal drug called Diflucan to see if they would respond. Mind you, all this drug does is kill fungus! Yet, 73% (8 of 11) of this small group were apparently cured of their Lyme Disease and 100% improved even a year later. In the remaining four patients, symptoms were considerably improved,” the study stated. 100% of the patients placed on Diflucan got better. With hundreds of thousands of people suffering from Lyme Disease these days, it is tragic that it took a European research paper to prove that in many cases fungus, not bacteria cause some cases of “Lyme Disease.” This 20-year-old study confirms that no matter what the symptom or illness, given the safety of ruling out fungus first, one must always consider Fungus Until Proven Otherwise (FUPO).
