Bromley, you need a microbiologist to accurately detect a bacterial infection anywhere, and what is in the brain tissue does not always show in the cerebrospinal fluid, since it changes so regularly, like a fast flowing stream, so no matter how carefully Lindsey and Patel develop their PCR method, they will fail unless they can use it on actual biopsy tissue.

So, they conclude THEY are unable to find bacteria. NOT that it doesn't exist. One of the early comments about detecting this bacteria is that it isn't likely to be found in a spinal tap and requires the patient be dead in order to locate it by biopsy in the brain. (Do they have the rights to the Vanderbilt method? It doesn't sound like it.)
Robbie, you are quitting before even starting?

I can't agree more with Sarah..
This study isn't a new revelation,,,
Here's some reading explaining "why" bacteria isn't found very often in the spinal fluid. Dr Lida Matman talks about the pleomorphic phase of bacteria.
take notice this is from 2005.

Robbie, don't throw your towel in yet.....

Well, if they're trying to devise a testing procedure, and if it's successful, they're rich.
If they're trying to determine whether there is, indeed, cpn in spinal fluid, this serves as their 'proof' it isn't there.
But they aren't using Vanderbilt's method with trained specialists who know how to administer it, so then it's a waste.

Wait a moment, they seem to be trying to show that no bacteria invades the CNS: that is just stupid.
Robbie, please don't stop before you are even doing the protocol in total. Twelve weeks is no time and minocycline by itself is no where near enough.
