Misdiagnosed Lyme Disease or Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease and Lyme disease both are caused by spirochetes. The liturature indicates that oral spirochetes can be a false positive or misdiagnosed for Lyme disease. This post shows spirochetes that were found in the gingival sulcus (or diseased gums) of Lyme diseased diagnosed husband and wife. The young daughter was also diagnosed with Lyme disease. This video presentation explores the possiblity that Lyme disease can be 1. found in the gingival sulcus, 2. oral spirochetes can be misdiagnosed as Lyme disease, 3. if Lyme is in the gingival sulcus, can it be spread to other people the same as periodontal disease?, 4. if Lyme is found in the gingival sulcus, wouldn’t it be easier to microscopically diagnosis Lyme disease from this periodontal diseased sulcus?, 5. Can Lyme disease be cured if it is not eliminated from the diseased gums?  Many unanswered questions arise from this presentatrion.
