Study shows Stevia Kills Lyme Disease Pathogen Better Than Antibiotics
Summary:
"The susceptibility of the different forms was evaluated by various quantitative techniques in addition to different microscopy methods. The effectiveness of Stevia was compared to doxycycline, cefoperazone, daptomycin, and their combinations. Our results demonstrated that Stevia had significant effect in eliminating B. burgdorferi spirochetes and persisters. Sub-culture experiments with Stevia and antibiotics treated cells were established for 7 and 14 days yielding, no and 10% viable cells, respectively compared to the above-mentioned antibiotics and antibiotic combination. When Stevia and the three antibiotics were tested against attached biofilms, Stevia significantly reduced B. burgdorferi forms. Results from this study suggest that a natural product such as Stevia leaf extract could be considered as an effective agent against B. burgdorferi.”

STEVIA

"Studies of Stevioside and their related compounds include the benefits of being anti-helminthic, anti-rheumatic, anti-diarrheal, diuretic, anti-hyperglycaemic, anti-hypertensive, anti-oxidants, anti-viral, immunomodulatory actions and gastro and renal-protective. (Ferrazzano et al, 2015 http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/21/1/38/htm) According to a study done in rats, Stevia leaf extract, “produced a delayed but significant decrease in the blood glucose level, without producing condition of hypoglycemia after treatment, together with lesser loss in the body weight as compared with standard positive control drug glibenclamide" http://www.ironandomega.com/stevia/
