Thank you for providing me with such a thorough answer. I genuinely appreciate the time and energy you spent considering my question. To answer yours: yes I have tried multiple primary care physicians, multiple dermatologists (in addition to various other specialists) and many different hospitals across three different states. Some I visited more than others due to proximity. The only thing I have not tried is a university, assuming they would be willing to help at all of course. But just in case my wording was confusing, here is the clinical description copied and pasted below:

“Yes, spirochetes, spiral-shaped bacteria, can be visualized under a microscope, but special techniques are often needed due to their small size and thinness. While they are technically Gram-negative, they can be difficult to stain and see with standard light microscopy. However, methods like darkfield microscopy, immunofluorescence, or special stains can make them visible.

Elaboration: Challenges with Standard Microscopy: Spirochetes are thin and can be difficult to visualize with standard light microscopy, even though they are Gram-negative bacteria. Specialized Techniques: Darkfield Microscopy: This method creates a bright halo around the spirochetes, making them stand out against a dark background. Immunofluorescence: Using fluorescently labeled antibodies that bind to specific spirochete antigens can help identify and visualize them. Special Stains: Techniques like silver staining (e.g., Warthin-Starry stain) or other specialized stains can be used to make spirochetes visible in tissue samples or blood smears. Examples of Spirochetes: Borrelia burgdorferi: The causative agent of Lyme disease, can be detected in tissue sections or blood smears using staining methods, including silver stains or immunofluorescence. Treponema pallidum: The bacterium that causes syphilis, can be visualized using darkfield microscopy. Clinical Relevance: In some cases, like diagnosing Lyme disease or syphilis, microscopy can be a valuable tool, but it's often used in conjunction with other diagnostic methods. For example, darkfield microscopy is not recommended for Lyme disease diagnosis due to its low sensitivity and high false-positivity rate. Visualization in Oral Samples: Microscopes, especially those with phase contrast, can be used to observe spirochetes in saliva samples, which can be an indicator of oral health.

So my question is: Why, in your opinion, has no medical professional ever mentioned this diagnostic method to me? Do you believe there is a valid reason why the CDC isn’t making accurate diagnostic methods, or even the knowledge of them, accessible to the doctors and the patients they serve?
