Seven herbal medicines can kill Lyme disease bacteria in test tube – LymeDisease.org

Researchers have determined that seven herbal medicines are highly active in test tubes against B. burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, compared to the control antibiotics, doxycycline and cefuroxime.
Published in the journal Frontiers in Medicine, the laboratory study was funded by the Bay Area Lyme Foundation and supported in part by The Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and colleagues at the California Center for Functional Medicine and FOCUS Health Group, Naturopathic collaborated on the study.
“Since traditional antibiotic approaches fail to resolve symptoms in up to 25% of patients treated for Lyme disease and many suffer disabling effects of the disease, there is a need for novel treatment proven effective against B. burgdorferi,” said the paper’s co-author Sunjya K. Schweig, MD, CEO and co-director, California Center for Functional Medicine and Scientific Advisory Board Member, Bay Area Lyme Foundation.
“Because patients are currently turning to herbal remedies to fill the treatment gaps left by antibiotics, this research is a critical step in helping clinicians, as well as patients, understand which ones may offer the most potential benefit.”
According to this study, carried out by Prof. Ying Zhang’s group at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the seven herbal medicines that have the ability to kill B. burgdorferi in test tubes are:
It is important to note that each of these products have the potential to produce significant side effects in patients, and should be taken only under advisement of a clinician knowledgeable of their capabilities and toxicities.
Of these products, the Cryptolepis sanguinolenta extract caused complete eradication, while doxycycline and cefuroxime and other active herbs did not. This extract has been used for the treatment of malaria as well as the tick-borne infection Babesia, a malaria-like parasite.
This study is believed to be the first time this extract has been documented to have a potential impact on B. burgdorferi, and additional laboratory and clincial studies should be conducted to investigate the potential role Cryptolepis sanguinolenta could play in the treatment of Lyme disease.
Further, Cryptolepis sanguinolenta and Polygonum cuspidatum (Japanese knotweed) showed strong activity against both growing B. burgdorferi (MIC=0.03%-0.06% and 0.25%-0.5% respectively) and non-growing stationary phase B. burgdorferi.
In contrast, Stevia rebaudiana, Andrographis paniculata, Grapefruit seed extract, colloidal silver, monolaurin, and antimicrobial peptide LL37 had little or no activity against stationary phase B. burgdorferi.
“Our hope is that findings from this study could point to new therapeutic options for doctors and their patients, and pave the way for clinical research to help patients with persistent Lyme disease,” said Linda Giampa, executive director, Bay Area Lyme Foundation.
These data may provide a basis for the clinical improvement of patients who take herbal medicines, particularly those whose chronic symptoms may be due to persistent bacteria that are not killed by conventional Lyme antibiotic treatment.
However, it is critical to note that additional studies are needed to further evaluate the seven active botanical medicines identified in the study. Patients should not attempt to self-treat with these herbal medicines due to potential side effects and lack of clinical trials with these products.
For the study, the researchers tested 14 natural products in test tubes against B. burgdorferi. Plant extracts selected for the study included herbs or agents that: have been previously used to manage the symptoms of patients who do not respond to standard Lyme antibiotic treatment; have favorable safety profiles; and can be absorbed systemically.
Additional criteria for selecting compounds included anti-biofilm effects and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier. To conduct the study, the plant extracts in concentrations of 1%, 0.5% and 0.25% and antibiotic controls were each tested on growing as well as non-growing B. burgdorferi cultures.
The study found that seven of these natural product extracts at 0.25%-0.5% had better activity against the stationary phase B. burgdorferi culture than the control antibiotics doxycycline and cefuroxime, both of which are commonly used to treat Lyme disease.
The paper titled “Evaluation of Natural and Botanical Medicines for Activity against Growing and Non-growing Forms of B. burgdorferi,” was written by Jie Feng, PhD, Jacob Leone, ND, Sunjya Schweig, MD, and Ying Zhang, MD, PhD.

Powerball jackpot rises to a massive $629 million as excitement grows for the November 22 drawing – primetimer.com

Type keyword(s) to search

The Powerball jackpot has increased once more. Nobody managed to win Wednesday’s draw, so now it reaches the prize of $629 million. People around the nation are getting excited, with hopes of luck for the next drawing on Saturday, November 22, 2025.
Powerball jackpots grow quickly when there are no winners. Each time the prize rolls over, more people buy tickets and the amount gets bigger. This week, the jackpot is one of the biggest in months and players are looking forward to Saturday night.
Here are the winning numbers from the last draw:
10, 31, 49, 51, 68
Powerball: 19
Power Play: 2x
No one matched all six numbers, so the jackpot was not claimed. But one lucky ticket in New Jersey matched the five white balls and won $1 million.
There were also many smaller winners in other states. Players are always told to check their tickets carefully, because even matching a few numbers can bring small prizes.
​
If an individual wins the $629 million jackpot, they have a choice in how to receive it. 
1. Receiving money annually (annuity). The winner can take the full jackpot amount, but not all in one go. Rather, they will get paid for 30 years. The amount also grows by 5% every year. So, it is sort of like getting a paycheck every year for a very long time. 
2. Cash option: getting all the money in one go. The winner can take a single payment of about $294.5 million. This is less than the full jackpot, but they get the money right away. 
Many winners choose this option because it gives instant access to the cash. Both options are available, and it is left to the winner to choose what works best for them.
People across the country are now waiting for the November 22 drawing. The jackpot is very high, so ticket sales are expected to go up. Powerball tickets cost $2 each, and most stores sell them until just before the draw.
The Powerball drawing will happen at 10:59 p.m. on Saturday. Drawings take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
With $629 million on the line, many people are hoping this might be their lucky moment. Whether someone wins the top prize or a smaller amount, the excitement of checking the numbers is always part of the fun.

What time is today's Powerball drawing? How late can you buy tickets? – Bergen Record

Lottery fever steadily builds as the Powerball climbs past half-billion dollars.
If you are going to play the Powerball lottery, there’s some important information you need to know to play.
The jackpot starts out at $20 million and grows with each drawing that no one wins. It takes nearly 40 drawings to reach the billion-dollar jackpot.
Saturday night’s drawing is $629 million with a cash option of $291.6 million.
Here’s a look at some key things you need to know:
Powerball drawings are held at 10:59 p.m. ET. on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Monday drawings were added in 2021.
The deadline for purchasing Powerball ticket varies by state so don’t wait until the last minute. It can be an hour or more before the actual drawing. For some third-party lottery apps, the deadline can be over two hours before the drawing.
Here’s a look at each lotteries’ deadline (Note: All times are local for that jurisdiction):
Tickets can be purchased in-person at gas stations, convenience stores and grocery stores. Some airport terminals may also sell lottery tickets. 
You can also order tickets online through Jackpocket, the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network, in these U.S. states: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Washington D.C. and West Virginia. The Jackpocket app allows you to pick your lottery game and numbers, place your order, see your ticket and collect your winnings all using your phone or home computer.  
The Powerball drawing is broadcast live on the lottery website at 10:59 p.m. ET on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. You can watch the drawing by clicking here.
The drawing may be broadcast on a local television station in your market as well. For example, ABC in New York carries the drawing live.
The cost is $2 per ticket, but you can add the Power Play for $1, which will increase the amount of your potential prize up to five times the original prize (except for the jackpot and Match 5). There is also a 10x Power Play possibility when the jackpot is less than $150 million.
Each player selects five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball. However, you can also have the lottery machine generate a quick pick ticket with random numbers for you.
Prizes vary from $4 for the matching the Powerball to $1 million for matching all five white balls (except in California) to the jackpot for matching all six balls. You can check all the prize payouts on the Powerball website here.
First, celebrate! Second, call a trusted lawyer for legal and financial advice.
Drew Svitko, Powerball Product Group Chair and Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director, said, “If you win the jackpot, sign your ticket, put it somewhere very safe, and reach out to your local lottery. Your lottery is always your best resource for information on how to claim a prize.”
Playing the Powerball can be exciting, but just don’t go spending those millions before you win. The odds of winning the jackpot are 292,201,338-to-1. The odds to match all five white balls are 11,688,053-to-1.

Bulls' Patrick Williams: Questionable for Saturday – CBS Sports

If not listed, please contact your TV provider.
Williams is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Wizards due to a left wrist sprain.
This is a new injury for Williams, who was previously on the injury report due to finger and groin injuries. However, he’s yet to miss a game this season and may handle an increased workload if available, given Chicago’s lengthy injury report for the second night of a back-to-back set.
