Sounds good, but then what?
I could accept that there are folks who drank dirty water, grew up around contaminated grounds, air, or water as well...even that there are a lot of people with this bacteria in them....so what then? Is there a test for it? Is there an antibiotic (or other drug) that can get rid of it?
This to me sounds a lot like the PANDAS, where a bacteria (usually strep) is treated...yet still survives somehow by hiding, only to reappear months later, with a sudden onset of wicked symptoms. For the astute parent or doctor, the child can be treated and often, successfully.
Can the same be said for this bacteria? I read the article Laura linked to about Cox, which is excellent, and a phase II trial is underway for a zinc-based drug.
