Could a common sweetener that's already in the kitchen cupboards in many American homes — stevia — prove to be an effective treatment for a disease as debilitating and persistent as Lyme disease?
2017年7月7日
It's too early to say that for sure, but research by 伊娃Sapi, a 网赌上分平台 professor of cellular and molecular biology, and the students in her 莱姆病研究小组 看起来很有前途.
在一篇发表于 European Journal of Microbiology & 免疫学, Sapi and her students found that the most antibiotic resistant form of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease — called biofilm — actually increased in mass with individual antibiotics.
But liquid, whole-leaf stevia extract — not the powdered varieties that people most commonly use — reduced the biofilm mass by about 40 percent, they found.

“是那个吗??萨皮问道。. “我不知道." But in confirmation test after confirmation test, "that is the one that jumped out."
A small clinical trial based out of New York got underway just a few months ago, and researchers there are using stevia along with antibiotics to try and treat Lyme disease, while others are taking the extract 自己.
I've got emails from people saying they're getting better, but again, we need to have double-blind clinical trials before we say ‘yes'. Everybody is holding their breath to see if it helps, and let's hope for it. 那太好了.
