Bb suppression by Nod2
By Linda on Aug 26, 2011 in Infections
Linda’s comment: B. burgdorferi infection of Nod2 deficient mice resulted in increased rather than decreased arthritis and carditis compared to control mice. They are saying a model where Nod2 has an enhancing role in activating inflammation in early infection, but moderates inflammation after prolonged exposure to the organism through induction of tolerance. I suffered from Lyme Carditis, but thanks to Gemmotherapy they were able to kill the Lyme spirochetes and parasites and clear it up….it is not a fun thing to do through. What is scary and sad is Cardiologists don’t have a clue when a patient shows up in ER with chest pains…
