Stevia a possible treatment for Lyme disease


(betsy.rome) #1

It’s a really bad year for Lyme disease here in CT. I came across this tidbit today:

University of New Haven professor studying whether stevia can kill Lyme disease bacteria

" …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."
