Julie---- thanks for bringing up the lizard blood thing.
That's pretty old news, but important information----- though nothing has come of it (yet) that can be patented. 
And I'd not suggest that the members here drink lizard blood.

Susceptibility of the Western Fence Lizard (Sceloporus Occidentalis) to the Lyme Borreliosis Spirochete (Borrelia Burgdorferi)
Robert S. Lane
University of California, Berkeley, California
Attempts to infect juvenile and adult western fence lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis) with the Lyme borreliosis spirochete (Borrelia burgdorferi) were largely unsuccessful.
Spirochetes could not be isolated from the blood and various tissues of 14 lizards 21–32 days after they had been inoculated ip (n = 8) or sc (n = 6) with 106 or 108 B. burgdorferi representing 3 tick isolates, although 1 lizard apparently developed a transitory spirochetemia lasting 2 days.
Similarly, spirochetes could not be detected in the blood or tissues of 5 lizards fed upon by 2->8 infected larvae or nymphs of the western black-legged tick (Ixodes pacificus).
Sixty-five blood samples from 59 lizards in an endemic area and various tissues from 20 of the same lizards were also assayed for B. burgdorferi with negative results. The implications of these findings for the maintenance of this spirochete in natural foci are discussed.

****"Lizards are doing humanity a great service here," said Robert Lane, professor of insect biology in the College of Natural Resources at UC Berkeley and principal investigator on the tick findings, published this week in California Agriculture and before that in the Journal of Parasitology.
"The lizard's blood contains a substance - probably a heat-sensitive protein - that kills the Lyme disease spirochete, a kind of bacterium."****

"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)
