Questions and Panel discussion sessions

Tok opp 300.000 kroner i lån for å avslutte Borrelia-mareritt

Oslo kvinne tok opp 300.000 kroner i lån for å avslutte Borrelia-mareritt!

“Etter ti år med borreliose og sviktende behandling i Norge, så 23-åringen fra Oslo mørkt på fremtiden. Et lån og en tur til utlandet var nøkkelen til at hun i fjor fikk livet tilbake.” Les hennes historie her

Woman from Norway had to loan 300 000 NOK (38 000 $) in order to get treatment for Lyme disease. She is now finally healthy thanks to international doctors. Read also the interview with Dr. Richard Horowitz in the article.

Borrelia burgdorferi is able to persist in the joint, heart, skin, and central nervous system for the lifetime.

A short-term Borrelia burgdorferi infection model identifies tissue tropisms and bloodstream survival conferred by adhesion proteins.

Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease in the United States, is able to persist in the joint, heart, skin, and central nervous system for the lifetime of its mammalian host. Borrelia species achieve dissemination to distal sites in part by entry into and travel within the bloodstream.
