Neuropathy in Tick-borne Infections and Mold Toxicity
In chronic Lyme disease it is common to have nerve injury in locations outside of the brain and spinal cord – also called peripheral neuropathy. Common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include:
numbness,
burning sensations,
and/or sharp, stabbing or electric feelings.
In this article Marty Ross MD reviews:
laboratory evaluation of neuropathy in chronic Lyme disease and
a functional medicine approach to remove nerve insults and to repair nerve injury.
Neuropathy Laboratory Evaluation
A basic laboratory evaluation of neuropathy may include:
Vitamin B6 (too much Vitamin B6 causes neuropathy)
Vitamin B12 (low Vitamin B12 causes neuropathy)
Vt D3 (levels around 40 ng/ml to 80ng/ml support healthy nerve function)
CBC
CMP (evaluation of kidney and liver function)
TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 (evaluate for low or high thyroid function)
TTG-IgA & EMA (for possible celiac disease)
heavy metal urine testing (see the end of the article for when to do this)
Functional Medicine Neuropathy Repair
Steps to repair nerve injury include:
removing the nerve insults
correcting abnormal labs including thyroid, Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin B12
stopping RX meds that may cause neuropathy
treating infections
correcting mold toxicity
repairing the nerve damage
repairing nerve cell and mitochondria power plant membranes,
increasing the master cell repair antioxidant glutathione,
increasing the nutrient Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
taking acetyl-l-carnitine if you do not eat red meat,
There are a number of medications that can cause neuropathy. You should review your list of medications with your physician or health care provider. There are three classes of anti-microbials used in Lyme treatments that can lead to neuropathy.
azoles including fluconazole (Diflucan), metronidazole, tinidazole, and itraconazole
Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine)
disulfiram
Correct Mold Toxicity
Elevated mold toxins may injur nerve function and damage nerve cell mitochondria. See Mold and Lyme Toxin Illness for more information about how to diagnose and fix this problem. (See link for article and video)
The Importance of Looking at Parasites, Viruses, Yeast and Fungal Infections
By Dr. Richard Horowitz
In his book Why Can’t I Get Better: Solving the Mystery of Lyme and Chronic Disease, Dr. Richard Horowitz proposes what he calls the MSIDS model. It stands for Multiple Systemic Infections Disease Syndrome and takes a broad look at how many different factors can contribute to persistent illness. In the following excerpt, he discusses several of the factors that can complicate diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease.
Parasitic Infections
Intestinal parasites like giardia, amoeba, pinworm, hookworm, schistosomiasis, and strongyloides are part of the MSIDS map. These infections are found on both serum antibody testing and stool cultures (i.e., local labs, Genova stool CDSA). Although we generally think of parasitic worms as only inhabiting the GI tract, Dr. Alan MacDonald recently found nematode filarial worms in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease at autopsy. Dr. Eva Sapi has found filarial worms in Ixodes scapularis ticks, and Zhang and colleagues found them in lone star ticks, so it is possible that filarial worms are being regurgitated from the gut of the tick into humans after a tick bite. Dr. Steven Fry has found parasites in the bloodstream living in biofilms, called Protomyxoa rheumatica (FL-1953), which are composed of up to eight different genetic types of parasites. Babesia suppresses our ability to clear other parasites, so are multiple parasites partially responsible for chronic illness in Lyme-MSIDS?
Parasites apart from Babesia can play an important role in keeping chronic Lyme patients sick, and antiparasitic regimens are often important.
Regimens including Biltricide, ivermectin, pyrantel pamoate (Pin-X), paromomycin, Alinia, and Albenza have been effective in certain patients with not only persistent GI symptoms but also fatigue, headaches, and myalgias resistant to classical tick-borne therapy. Some Morgellons patients report noticing help using antiparasitic drugs in combination with regimens against Lyme and tick-borne co-infections (like Bartonella), and some neuropsychiatric Lyme patients have seen improvement in cognition and behavior with antiparasitic drugs. Make sure you do a comprehensive parasite evaluation if you or your patient is not getting better. (See link for article)
The World Health Organization (WHO) is way beyond repair and reform. If you doubt this fact, go here to learn current President of the WHO, Chris Fearne, resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of EU Funds in light of the criminal charges of fraud and misappropriation, he is set to face concerning the Vitals-Steward magisterial inquiry. It would seem that a magisterial inquiry into the WHO is long overdue.
But he’s just the tip of the ice-berg.
Internal documents show the WHO paid at least 104 sexual abuse victims in Congo $250 each.
These women were abused by the very WHO staff and doctors that were supposed to be helping them. Adding insult to injury, medical costs for 17 children born as a result of the scandal was needed. But before they could obtain any money the WHO required them to attend training!
Then there’s WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, former Ethiopian health minister and foreign minister who was a member of the terrorist group Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). Ethiopia’s army chief has previously accused, Tedros of being a ‘criminal,’ and for trying to procure arms and diplomatic backing for the TPLF. Human Rights Watch reported that he withheld food and medicine from Ethiopians which resulted in 2 million people ‘missing.’
Then there’s the meddlesome issue of the WHO’s diabolical infertility vaccine. That’s right. The WHO has sterilized millions of African women without their knowledge under the pretext of a tetanus vaccination campaign. The WHO is also experimenting on African children with a controversial malaria vaccine without obtaining informed consent from parents, which is linked to increased risk of death.
Oh, and don’t forget:
By statute, no member of the WHO can be investigated, tried, or prosecuted.
In 2018, the WHO tested Remdesivir for Ebola in clinical trials in Africa. They surmised it was too lethal too use as the fatality rate was 53%. The drug was pulled because it was unethical, according to the WHO. Yet, it was suddenly the drug of choice for COVID. This is murder. Source
CLICK HERE to give each and every Senator a phone call and demand that they instruct their staff to copy House Resolution 79(H.R. 79 – the WHO Withdrawal Act) and submit it as companion legislation in the Senate. Let them know that you want to #ExitTheWHO, not reform it.
From May 27th-June 1st, world leaders will gather for the WHO’s 77th World Health Assembly. During this gathering, it is expected that countries will vote on a new legally binding Pandemic Accord and amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHRs) despite not releasing the final version which goes against Article 55 of the IHR (2005) which stipulates that the WHO Director-General must communicate any proposed amendment to all States Parties at least four months before the World Health Assembly for consideration.
Just in case you’ve fallen for the misguided notion that the WHO cares about ‘health,’ the organization using the One Health approach, aims to monitor and control the global food supply, but shrouds it under the ruse of preventing diseases that cause diarrhea and achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
“A new plan for global governance just launched an alliance to control what you eat. The alliance will have authority over what food is being produced, how it will be produced, managed, and inspected – and where the ‘food’ will be distributed.”Go here for more.
But it gets even worse. The World Health Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations (“UN”). The UN is supposed to become the One World Government. The Population Division of the United Nations concerns themselves with international migration. In the year 2000, they published Replacement Migration, a solution put forth to deal with declining and aging populations. Right now; however, mostly single, healthy, fighting age men, without families are flooding U.S. borders and violence has erupted everywhere they go. It’s highly likely these ‘migrant replacements’ are trained soldiers.
Go here for Greg Reese’s report on how UN troops are being brought in as ‘migrant refugees,’ trained by the British Black Watch Regiment in Turkey, the Ukraine, and east of Ukraine, who signed the Official Secrets Act. These soldiers will be deployed by the WHO for the next ‘pandemic.’
Adding more details, Overstock.com founder and ex-CEO Patrick Byrne remarked that back in 2015, 2016, Obama bought several million AR-15s or M4s and a trillion rounds of ammunition that are spread in post offices and the IRS, and with 1300 federal agencies, giving each one a vast depot of arms. Byrne has been warning that he feels those arms were prepositioned for the 10 or 12 million military-age males who have just been recruited through Homeland Security phones with the app CBP One, which is a recruiting tool for soldiers to come fight in the U.S against its own citizens.

Senator Josh Hawley pointed out that illegals without appropriate documents could use this app to schedule an appointment to come to the border to be admitted in without interviews or questions. There are 7 points of entry, 5 in Texas, 2 in California, and 1 in Arizona.
To date, 22 state attorneys generals wrote a letter to Biden voicing their concern over this power-grab:
which would give WHO a series of powers that would transform the WHO from an advisory, charitable organization into the world’s governor of public health paving the way for a “global surveillance infrastructure.”
the federal government CANNOT delegate public health decisions to an international body due to the Constitution which doesn’t vest responsibility for public health policy with the federal government. It reserves those powers for the States. Even if the federal government had such power, Article II, Section 2 requires approval by the United States Senate.”
the COVID debacle showed that the WHO and other public health institutions breached public trust and are in serious need of reform.Source
Forty-nine Senators have also written a letter to Biden which also delineates the WHO’s failure during COVID. Unfortunately, the Senators call for reform rather than abolishment. Please contact your Senators, thanking them for their letter, but that they need to submit companion legislation in the Senate to H.R. 70(WHO Withdrawal Act which would stop all United States funding of the WHO and it would also repeal the Act of June 14, 1948 that got the United States into the WHO and would begin the one year process to enable the United States to #ExitTheWHO.) Go here for an email template to send to Congress. Only Representative Tiffany Thomas (WI-7) as co-sponsored H.R. 79.
WHO ‘Pandemic’ Agreement a Business Scheme Based on a Fallacy
May 11, 2024
Former World Health Organization medical officer Dr David Bell says talks to draw up a global pact to help fight future pandemics is a “business scheme” based on a “fallacy” that there is an increasing risk of widespread epidemics. In fact, a report from the University of Leeds, using WHO data, shows that for the past 10-20 years there’s been a reduced risk.
The WHO declared an emergency for monkeypox when there were only 5 deaths worldwide.
The WHO’s 194 member states are attempting to strike a landmark global agreement on handling future pandemics.
“It’s a business scheme on a level we’ve never seen before to channel public funds into pharmaceutical companies and investment houses that own them,” Dr Bell told Sky News Australia. “In the process impoverish the population and take away the basic freedoms we thought were ours.”
They are putting together a system where about 30-40 BILLION dollars of public money, which is 10 times what we spend on the WHO now, will build this huge surveillance system that will find ‘viral’ variance, there will be lockdowns, and a 100 day mRNA ‘vaccine,’ and all the profits will go to Big Pharma.
Twenty five percent of WHO money comes from big corporations and a public/private partnership where these corporations use the WHO for their own interests.
“Grotesque Globalist Contract” UK Rejects Signing WHO Treaty
May 9, 2024
The UK Government has rejected to sign the World Health Organization pandemic accord that seeks to take a fifth of Britain’s vaccines. Co-founder of Together Association Alan Miller joins Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan to discuss this further.
“The idea that Tedros will keep us safe is preposterous.”
“It’s really important that the public assert ourselves that we have our voices heard that we make sure MPs, those that are standing in the next election hear from us to say never lockdown, we’re going to vote on you on this basis.” ~ Alan Miller, Co-founder of Together Association
Tucker Carlson interviews Kris Newby, author of “Bitten.”
In the late 1960’s, government bioweapons labs started injecting ticks with exotic diseases. Soon, people nearby began to get those diseases. Now, tick-borne Lyme is endemic. Naturally the government has admitted nothing.

Unfortunately Newby propels the climate warming myth regarding tick and disease proliferation. Independent research has shown again and again that ticks are impervious to the weather and will simply hide under leaf litter or snow when conditions become severe.
The U.S. government ‘cartel’ paid large pharmacy chains like Walgreens and CVS billions of dollars to promote COVID-19 vaccines and not fill prescriptions for ivermectin.
Addressing the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic remains a significant challenge for healthcare systems globally. Despite the absence of a proven cure, ivermectin has been proposed as a potentially effective agent against it.
Objectives:
This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of ivermectin compared to a placebo group in non-critically ill confirmed COVID-19 patients.
Methods:
A double-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted on 110 patients with moderate-to-severe (non-critical) confirmed COVID-19 infection. The patients were equally divided into two groups, with one group receiving ivermectin tablets (14 mg every 12 hours for three days) and the other group receiving a placebo. The efficacy and safety of ivermectin were assessed in both groups.
Results:
A total of 110 patients, including 62 (56.4%) men and 48 (43.6%) women, with an average age of 53.36 ± 15.10 years, were enrolled in our double-blind, randomized clinical trial. The baseline characteristics of the two groups were similar. The findings demonstrated that ivermectin significantly reduced the need for Intensive Care Unit admission (32.7% vs. 5.5%; P < 0.001), hospitalization duration (six vs. four days; P < 0.001), and median time to symptom resolution period (P < 0.05) in COVID-19 patients compared to the placebo group, without any serious side effects (P > 0.05).
Conclusions:
Ivermectin appears to be a potentially effective and safe medication for COVID-19 patients with moderate disease.

It’s important to note that the study only used ivermectin. When you look at successful protocols, they include many other things to help the immune system.
