I read in one of the Lymes forums that Lymes hates oxygen and that is why Lymes hides. Can someone please explain what this means. For example, if one would start using oxygen could that cause Lymes to go into hiding/remission/be cured? Why would Lymes hate oxygen?

From reading on the net its said that bacteria and viruses can not survive in a oxygen rich enviroment.I think its pretty difficult to get enough oxygen in your body to kill the stuff.I was pretty sick and had no idea what was wrong with me.We have 35% food grade H202 at home.i started messing around with the stuff and built up to 40 drops a day...and things got pretty scary maybe i was herxing i have no idea but i quit because i was worried i was doing damage to myself.I am thinking however about adding the peroxide to a cool mist humidifier and breathing while i sleep.Also read IV H202 cured some hopeless cases of the 1918 flu pandemic..very interesting.

Buckron -- You noted that you read that bacteria and viruses cannot survive in an oxygen-rich environment. Are you sure this is correct?

What makes up an oxygen-rich environment? What effect would lymes have on people who used oxygen on a routine basis? Would people who used oxygen less likely to come down with a virus or a bacterial infection?

A Link of caution for those of you that consider H202.I changed my mind about playing around injesting the stuff.

Carol,

It's not just oxygen alone that will help you.

Go in to the forums under Medicines and Treatment and look at the posts under "Does anything help with the exhaustion". That will be easier than me retyping everything here. It will tell you about Lyme and oxygen. Feel free to PM me if you have any further questions.

It managed to link up to web site -- What do others think about the Court findings against this Dr. Shortt? Based if this is a true printing of what the Court found, I think he more then likely should have his licensed suspended/revoked.
