Here is some info discussed at the Klinghardt conference. Klinghardt discussed the possibility that many with lyme have MARCONS, a kind of bad sinus infection. The "AR" stands for "antibiotic resistant". I am posting a link here discussing it because that's a lot easier than me trying to explain it. At the conference, the time discussing MARCONS was really devoted to treatments and not to diagnostics/symptoms and all that. Here are some treatments that were mentioned.

1. Use a netipot, 1/2 tsp xylitol, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt. Most netipot instructions do not have the xylitol, but the bugs will ingest this and get bloated and die). For those that do not know, netipot is this little teapot shaped thing designed to help you pour water (with the other ingredients) in one nostril and have it flow out the other, to help treat infections.

2. Get a nasal spray device. (One approach is buy some cheap nasal spray with saline solution in drug store and just dump it out.) Fill this with your urine and 1 drop of potassium iodide (such as TriQuench). Spray one spray per nostril, 4 times per day for 3 weeks. The urine helps get the immune system working better. The potassium iodide acts as a preservative and also helps expose cell organelles in the urine to your nostril.

3. Homeopathic remedy such as Pleo Rec.

4. PEG spray made by Hopkinton Drug in Seattle, requires prescription, contains an antibiotic and a couple other items.

5. Get your nasal passages reshaped to allow for proper draining. Dr. Dean Howell has devised neuro cranial restructuring (NCR) technique that involves a small balloon being inserted into the nose and blown up and then popped while someone is pushing just so. May need to be done for 4-5 days consecutively. This was demonstrated at the conference, must say it was a bit uncomfortable to watch (let alone to be the person getting smushed).
