Re: Shroom

Hi PhillyCZ good to hear from ya. Uncaria tomentosa or common term "cats claw", is something I forgot about during my Lyme studies. I beleive they advise to use the form known as tetracyclic oxindole alkaloids or T.O.A.'s for short.
It has known to "possess amazingly effective Antibiotic qualities" and is very effective against Lyme bacteria.
I know that in my own case, I have found macrophages with strange microbes within.
The problem with these "cryptic" type microbes, is they have protection from everything whilst remaining in the cells.
There must be a chemical which gets scavenged from peripherial blood and tissue, that is relatively harmless to the host, and destroys the organism once compound has been ingested by leukocyte.

This is where I think nano tech would be ideal for this task. Unfortunately, I can't get these people to say boo to me.
My whole plan for the time being is to find some immuno-stimulant produced from by-products of aforementioned microbe, and try to culture protozoa to reverse the adaptive genetic qualities. Then reintroduce it back in the bowel, to create renewed antigenic stimulation of mucosal immune mechanisms, with special attention to SIgA.

Your theory about the peptides is very sound. I would like to isolate any foreign peptides being produced, or found in my gut. I believe it does something to the parietal cells in the stomach, and corrupts serotonin molecules. This ultimately has a detrimental affect on HCL causing achlorhydria to some degree {among other things}.
I would look at aMSH and the 5 melanocortin receptors for clues into this rogue peptide. Stick around! Shroom
