Because lyme is such a tricky infection to detect, perhaps this could help with earlier diagnosis. LYME must be treated almost immediately after infected, so this could be ground breaking!

This says that bacteria release signals before they seriously attack, and this women has tests that uncover bacteria’s early signalling before the culture is positive. Her reaction is to treat early with antibiotics. Antibiotics results in microbiome responding with more virulent strains. Perhaps there is an alternative to antibiotics. Maybe intermittent fasting- not eating for 12- 16- 20 ? hours per day, keeps the bacterial microbiome from fighting, or becoming virulent by making them thin out on a daily basis- instead of them reproducing more by making their food constantly available in high amounts. Could this explain why under-eating has always been associated with longevity?
