Found this on Lyme disese

Hi All, wanted to share this. Thought it would be interesting.
They mention that Teasel was not effective 🙂 I guess they don’t understand/ care, that’s not how it works.

1-week treatment eradicates bacteria

In the current study, the scientists observed that extracts from Ghanaian quinine and Japanese knotweed prevented free-swimming bacteria from proliferating, even when they were present at low concentrations — of 0.03-0.5% — in laboratory dishes.

The two plant extracts also killed entire microcolonies of the bacterium that causes Lyme disease.

In fact, just one 7-day treatment with 1% Ghanaian quinine extract was able to eradicate the bacterium in lab dishes. What is more, the bacterium was unable to make a comeback following this treatment.

At the same time, some of the other natural compounds that the researchers tested offered insignificant or no results.

This was the case with extracts from grapefruit seeds, green chiretta (Andrographis paniculata), ashwagandha, stevia, fuller’s teasel (Dipsacus fullonum), and Japanese teasel.

The researchers also tested some other substances that anecdotal evidence had indicated might be effective against Lyme disease. These were colloidal silver, monoglyceride monolaurin, and the antimicrobial peptide LL37 — also found human immune cells. None of these substances has a significant effect on B. burgdorferi.

While the current findings indicate that many plants hold promise in the treatment of Lyme disease, the researchers caution that studies in animals and humans are still necessary to confirm the natural remedies’ efficacy and safety.
