Lyme Disease

Jill, I have brought this up before and someone else brought it up
recently. Heparin seems to work REALLY well on Babesia ALL BY
ITSELF. Quest Diagnostics has even commented on it. It seems to put
down some sort of coating on the Babs, preventing it from entering
into healthy cells. That leaves it wide open for our own immune
system.
My daughter and I were on heparin for 3 years and both of us made
HUGE and I mean HUGE progress over the long term WITHOUT anything to
treats Babs. I came up negative for babs, but my symptoms from the
past leaned heavily toward babs.
I rrecetnly searched for more info on the heparin and Babs, but at
this time only came up with 2 sources. One the study out of Japan
which basically says heparin obliterates Babesia and Quests
comments. I have the info stored if you are interested.
My duaghter had severe hypercoagulation, took no ABX and after 3
years, her blood is holding normal, which is a strong indicator,
that the infection that was there, is gone. I have also read a small
blurb about heparin doing the same to Lyme. I really believe it is
something we should all take a look at. To be able to fix ourselves
without massive drugs would be awesome. Heparin is naturally
occuring in the body.
Effects of Heparin on Babesia
Babesia are malaria-like parasites of man and animals. Babesia
microti hasbeen identified as a newly emerging infection along the
Eastern seaboardfrom Cape Cod to New Jersey. The major vector
associated with its spreadis the deer tick (Ixodes scapularis) � the
same tick associated with Lyme disease. Investigators in Japan
studied the effect of various heparins on this parasite and found
that, depending on the concen-tration of heparin, there may be
complete clearance of intracellular parasites! The findings suggest
that the heparin coats the surface of the parasite and inhibits its
invasion of the red cells. Bork, S. et al. 2004. Growth-inhibitory
effect of heparin on Babesia parasites. AntimicrobialAgents and
Chemotherapy 48: 236-241.
============================================================
I was put on 12,000 units of heparin a day. It was in the form of a
nasal spray, very nice, no shots. I was on it for the
hypercoagulation. My daughter was put on the same dose, both of us
were on it 3 years. She was forced to quit because of an abrupted
placenta during pregnancy. The thing is, she has never needed to go
back on, her coagulation has stayed normal. No ABX.
I took ABX, but REALLY tiny doses throughout the last 2 years. It
was very hit and miss. I would take the ABX for 6 weeks and then
have to quit, but I then found I didn't need the heparin anymore
either. We have both been of the heparin, well my daughter for a
little over 2 years and me about a year and a half. Both of us are
doing pretty darn good. I have often wondered why I have made this
kind of recovery with hardly any ABX. The heparin may be the key.
