Hans-
I agree with this all pretty much. When I had syphillis, and neurosyphillis both were said to be asymptomatic. I would have never thought to take a test for syphillis if I had not had a positive lyme disease test as well.
When the people from the health department called me they asked me if I had ever had any symptoms, including syphillitic ulcers, rashes, neurological problems, discharges, etc. I told them "no".
The only reason I got treated for syphillis and neurosyphillis were because I saw no reason not to, and I was warned about what could be one day in the future. There was no reason not to get treated, so I did.
Anywho, in addition to what you have written. Wasn't syphillis once treated with Mercury? I am almost positive that syphillis was once treated with Mercury. Couldn't that have caused some of the neurological problems they were documenting? Couldn't Mercury have caused almost any of the symptoms they were documenting? I realise during the Tunksgee study they did not provide treatment, but in the past such as the 1800s? |
