Hi there, I am wondering about oxygen therapies for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria as well as those somewhere in between. If what I have read is accurate (and it may or may not be) the lyme bacteria borrelia bugrdoferi is microaerophilic which I think means it likes small amounts of oxygen (but I think not large amounts). When I called labs etc. what I was told is that they think the Babesia which is a parasite and lives in the Red Blood Cells is aerobic. The red blood cells is also where the borrelia burgdoferi lives and the red blood cells is where the oxygen is. Now, I think it is assumed that aerobic bacteria and also partial anaerobes should be killed or at least knocked down by oxygen therapies but I am wanting to know what about the bacteria like lyme that are supposedly microaerophilic and live in the red blood cells and also aerobic organisms. I wonder can oxygen therapies actually make any aerobic organism worse in int he worst case scenario would they just not do anything either way?
Thanks a lot, Christy In a message dated 7/10/00 10:09:49 AM Pacific Daylight Time, rogalt...@aol.com writes: << mama2b...@aol.com wrote: > Seratia > I understand CS destroys the protein sheath surrounding anaerobic > (harmful) bacteria and kills them but does not harm aerobic (friendly) > bacteria. > Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Our tests have shown that CS kills both anaerobic as well as aerobic bacteria. Actually this is good. Many bacteria can switch from anaerobic to aerobic and back again instantly. Also many aerobic bacteria can become pathogenic when misplaced. For instance the bacteria essential in the gut can cause lots of problems if they colonize the vagina. Although anaerobic = bad and aerobic = good has some basis in fact, it is not hard and fast. >> -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
