CD 57 RESULTS FROM DR. BURRASCANO 4-10************************************* nspiker LymeNet Contributor Member # 22824 posted 04-24-2010 01:11 PM I attended a lyme conference this last week, where the famous Dr. B. spoke, and this is what he said about remission. He spoke about testing CD57 in lyme patients, and a good range is 120-157. Most lyme patients start out in the 20-40 range, and the sickest are lower than that. His statement is that if a patient has CD57 of 120 or more, than they are in remission. This subset of the natural killer cell count is the best indicator of remission. My take on what he said is that we "may not" ever get rid of all the bacteria or parasites, he doesn't know for sure, but our immune system is able to hold them in check, and we can live healthy lives again. -------------------- CFS; CMV, EBV, HHV-6, coxsackie, mycoplasma hominis, toxoplasmosis, and positive 31 epitope for lyme Posts: 131 | From san diego | Registered: Oct 2009 BettyG, IOWA ACTIVIST
