NYC ticks found to carry 5 different infections

People often associate ticks with being in rural or suburban areas. But the infection-carrying arachnids can be found in densely populated cities as well.

In a study recently published in the Journal of Medical Entomology, researchers collected 2500 ticks from parks in four New York City boroughs—Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and Brooklyn.

When they tested the ticks, they found pathogens for five human diseases:

  • Lyme disease
  • ehrlichiosis
  • babesiosis
  • anaplasmosis
  • Rocky Mountain spotted fever

Self-Amplifying mRNA COVID Shot Gets Green Light in Japan

https://lionessofjudah.substack.com/p/get-ready-for-more-shedding-self

A NEW self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) COVID shot received the green light from Japan’s Ministry of Health.

This frightening new technology is an addition to the already unstable modified mRNA jab, but replicates to create more copies of the modified mRNA over longer periods of time, creating higher levels of spike protein.

We have witnessed the avalanche of horrific adverse reactions to the COVID jab, and it stands to reason that we could see a significant increase in devastating reactions with the introduction of sa-mRNA.

Although manufacturers of the sa-mRNA have yet to seek approval in the U.S., they have filed for European regulatory approval. It is only a matter of time before the U.S. becomes the next target.

How Safe Are Topical NSAIDs Like Voltaren Gel?

How Safe Are Topical NSAIDs Like Voltaren Gel?

FDA’s warning on doctor-prescribed topical NSAIDs like Voltaren Gel is scary. Are gels as dangerous as oral NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen?
Joe Graedon
February 20, 2024
 
When the FDA allowed drug companies to sell NSAIDs over the counter we were concerned. That’s because drugs like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, etc) and naproxen (Aleve) came with some pretty serious side effects including stomach irritation and bleeding ulcers. Given that tens of millions of Americans use such drugs every day, the potential problem worried us. When the FDA gave the green light to topical NSAIDs like Voltaren Gel (diclofenac), we thought it was probably a good idea. It seemed to suggest that people could get localized relief for arthritic fingers, knees, shoulders and hips without as many systemic side effects. Were we wrong?

Oral NSAIDS Come With Other Worrisome Side effects:

Americans are in a lot of pain! Medscape provides physicians and other healthcare professionals up-to-date medical news and information. It offered this overview of “Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) Toxicity” on Sept. 15, 2023:

“More than 70 million prescriptions for NSAIDs are written each year in the United States. With over-the-counter use included, more than 30 billion doses of NSAIDs are consumed annually in the United States alone.”

**Comment**

Important article for Lyme/MSIDS patients who deal with excruciating pain.

Many oral NSAIDs can cause heart attacks and strokes, hypertension, irregular heart beats, dizziness, blood clots, fluid retention, heart failure, tinnitus, and liver or kidney damage.

Regarding topical NSAIDs, a Cochrane review for ACUTE pain showed that they provide similar relief as orals with minimal adverse events. So topical NSAIDs used for a short period of time appear to work and are fairly safe; however, less than a year later some of the same authors published a new review for CHRONIC pain which found they only worked for 10% more people than those who got a placebo for osteoarthritis and that there is no evidence for other conditions. While the authors admit the quality of evidence was low, the side-effects were wide ranging but supposedly mild and included:

  • headache
  • diarrhoea
  • drowsiness
  • dyspepsia [heartburn]

Some patients wrote in that they experienced more serious side-effects like stomach pain, abdominal cramps, and high blood pressure.

The article author is puzzled as to why the FDA took so long to allow topical NSAIDs to be sold over the counter when orals have been available OTC despite scary warnings.

Immunosuppression Has Doubled & Immune Compromised Mice More Susceptible to Bartonella

https://lymediseaseassociation.org/news/increased-immunosuppression-in-us-adults/

Increased Immunosuppression in US Adults

JAMA Network (Martinson, M.L. and Lapham, J.) 02.15.2024, published “Prevalence of Immunosuppression Among US Adults.” In this study, researchers found that immunosuppression in adults has increased in the past 8 years (2013-2021) through self-assessment reporting. The previous national estimate from 2013 was 2.7%, while the 2021 national estimate increased to 6.6%. Authors suggest that COVID 19 may have played a role in this increase.

The patterns in the distribution were similar in 2013 and 2012 for immunosuppression by sex, race, and age. Immunosuppression prevalence for women (7.9%) was higher than for men (5.2%). The highest rates of immunosuppression were found for American Indian or Alaska Native respondents (8.4%); White respondents (7.4%); and aged 60 to 69 years respondents (9.5%).

Authors note, as this population is at increased risk from viral and bacterial infections, increase of prevalence is an important consideration for public health in the US that would benefit from further study.

A comparison of Bartonella henselae infection in immunocompetent and immunocompromised mice

Abstract

Bartonellosis refers to disease caused by the Bartonella genus of bacteria. The breadth of disease manifestations associated with Bartonella is currently expanding and includes regional lymphadenopathy, rheumatic, ocular, and neurological disorders. The dearth of knowledge regarding diagnosis, treatment and pathogenesis of this disease can be partially attributed to the lack of a reliable small animal model for the disease. For this study, Bartonella henselae, the most common species associated with human disease, was injected into Swiss Webster (SW) mice. When the outcome indicated that productive infection did not occur, SCID/Beige (immune compromised) mice were inoculated. While SW mice may potentially harbor an acute infection, less than 10 days in length, the SCID/Beige model provided a sustained infection lasting up to 30-days. These data indicate that SCID/Beige mice can provide a model to study Bartonella infection, therapeutics, and vector dynamics in the future.

Is Any Vaccine Worth Getting?

**UPDATE**

Many doctors are now finally questioning the vaccine narrative. In 2000, the American Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) published a resolution saying none of the vaccines are sufficiently safe or effective to be mandated and that everyone should always have a choice.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden states:

“I’ll never get another vaccine again. I’ll never recommend another vaccine for my patients. I’ll never listen to the government’s medical advice again.”

The COVID shots are absent as they are gene therapy products acquired through Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) with package inserts purposely left blank. The government made it illegal to obtain vials; however, some researchers have finally been able to study them and they found major contamination in all of them with toxic substances. Further, researchers have meticulously collected serious adverse events and have called for a global moratorium.

Besides the dangers of ‘vaccines,’ there is the noisome issue of doctors getting financial kickbacks – clearly showing conflicts of interest.

Former pediatrician Dr. Paul Thomas, author of “The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: Dr. Paul’s Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health-from Pregnancy Through Your Child’s Teen Year,” gave parents in his practice a choice: vaccinate their children on the CDC schedule, vaccinate more slowly by waiting for the child’s immune system to develop or not vaccinate at all.

As more patients refused vaccines, Thomas began to notice the financial impact on his practice.  After conducting an analysis he found they were losing over a MILLION dollars due to ‘vaccine’ refusal.

Is Any Vaccine Worth Getting?  This Doctor Says ‘No’

Go here for video with Dr. Suzanne Humphries

STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • The vaccine industry intentionally deceives us about the risks and benefits of vaccines in order to make a profit, with complete disregard for human suffering and the destruction of public health over time
  • One of the reasons the polio vaccine doesn’t work is because polio isn’t caused by an infectious virus. It’s caused by toxins. Poliovirus is a commensal virus that is completely harmless in the absence of toxic onslaught
  • The changing of definitions is part of the vaccine industry’s playbook. The definition of a “vaccine” was radically altered to allow for the use of experimental modified RNA gene therapy
  • Another part of the fraud is using another vaccine as the control in lieu of a true placebo. You simply cannot prove a vaccine is safe by comparing it to another, most likely unsafe, vaccine
  • According to Dr. Suzanne Humphries, there are no worthwhile vaccines, not even smallpox or tetanus. Tetanus can be successfully treated using high-dose intravenous vitamin C and other essential nutrients
  • Vitamin C works because tetanus is a bacterial disease caused by an obligate anaerobe that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. Other oxidative therapies that could be used if the infection is related to a wound include hydrogen peroxide and ozone therapy

In this interview, Dr. Suzanne Humphries discusses the recent update to her classic book, “Dissolving Illusions: Disease, Vaccines, and the Forgotten History,” published in 2013. “Dissolving Illusions” is one of my favorite books on vaccines, so I was honored to write the foreword for this 10th anniversary edition.  (Go to link for article)

**Comment**

Go here for a current 36 minute video of Humphries explaining what she learned about vaccines after studying the issue for years.

If you have not read Humphries’ book, I highly recommend it.  It will change everything you thought you knew about vaccines.

A few important points:

  • Infant deaths due to vaccines are never listed on death certificates, but are listed as SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) due to the lack of ICD (International Classification of Diseases) codes, sanctioned by the CDC and the WHO.  Coroners can’t choose to list a death as due to a vaccine even if they wanted to because no code exists for it.  SIDS remains the leading cause of death among infants in the U.S. claiming 3,700 lives in 2015.
  • The CDC has been hiding vaccine injuries for years.  Humphries meticulously reported vaccine injuries with vaccine lot numbers and everything.  NONE of them made it to the VAERS database which historically only has a 1% capture rate.

“It’s a dark night of the soul when you wake up to it,” Humphries says. “Your whole world does get a bit shattered because you start to realize that the entire medical system is corrupt and backwards and that there’s probably better ways to do just about everything.”  Source

  • The vaccine given in trials often is not what is given to the public.
  • Vaccines are used as the control in lieu of a true placebo. You can not prove a vaccine is safe by comparing it to another likely unsafe vaccine.
  • Humphries states there are no worthwhile vaccines – not even smallpox, tetanus, or polio.  She’s treated several cases of tetanus, including at least one fully vaccinated patient with high dose IV C and nutrients.
