Abstract

There are limited data on Lyme borreliosis (LB), a tick-borne disease caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex, in horses. Seropositivity is not necessarily associated with clinical disease. Data on seropositivity against Borrelia burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in German horses are sparse. Therefore, serum samples from horses (n = 123) suspected of having Lyme borreliosis and clinically healthy horses (n = 113) from the same stables were tested for specific antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasma phagocytophilum. The samples were screened for antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi (ELISA and an IgG line immunoblot assay). Furthermore, the samples were examined for antibodies against B. burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum with a validated rapid in-house test (SNAP® 4Dx Plus® ELISA).
The clinical signs of suspect horses included lameness (n = 36), poor performance (n = 19), and apathy (n = 12).
Twenty-three percent (n = 26) of suspect horses and 17% (n = 18) of clinically healthy horses were seropositive for having a Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato infection (p = 0.371), showing that the detection of specific antibodies against B. burgdorferi alone is not sufficient for a diagnosis of equine LB. Anaplasma phagocytophilum seropositivity and seropositivity against both pathogens was 20%/6% in suspect horses and 16%/2% in the clinically healthy population, showing only minor differences (p = 0.108). Unspecific testing for antibodies against B. burgdorferi without clinical suspicion of Lyme borreliosis is not recommended since the clinical relevance of seropositivity against Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato remains to be elucidated.

Expert Testimony: We’ve Got to Pull COVID Shots & Info On Latest Jab Recommendation

http://   (Starts at about 1:45)

Sadly, Youtube continues to censor experts who are trying to warn the public.

Go to Rumble for the same talk:  https://rumble.com/v3iy0cs-sc-senate-hearing-dr.-janci-lindsay-sv-40-in-mrna-platform-sept-2023.html

South Carolina Senate Medical Affairs Ad-Hoc Committee on DHEC

Sept. 15, 2023

Dr. Janci Lindsay, toxicologist with degrees in biochemistry & molecular biology 

People in the clinical trials were given a “clean” shot.  Everyone else was given plasmid contaminated shots.  This significant DNA contamination matters.

“Gene therapy was never brought to market even though it’s been over 40 years in development because in the past it caused latent cancers that developed 2-4 years after these were given because it caused lethal autoimmune reactions even when you were producing human proteins, not viral proteins, not bacterial proteins that you were displaying on the surface of your cells.

Lindsay points out that in traditional gene therapy you send in a genetic message to make a missing protein.  That protein is identical to the protein that should have been in your body, but you are missing.

The COVID mRNA shots are sending in an unneeded sequence asking it to make a piece of a viral protein which displays on our cells ,and our own bodies are attacking it and killing those cells.
These genetic risks were not told to people.

Further, there were SV40 sequences (contaminants found in Polio vaccines) within the plasmids that were not disclosed to the regulators. The sequence takes the DNA into the nucleus of human cells where it can be integrated. 

SV40 sequences were thought to cause cancers for decades following the polio vaccines.

“This is outrageous.  I’ve never seen anything like this in my entire career.  We have got to pull these shots and restrict them from our children. We can not inject these into babies and children.  These are contaminated, dangerous, lethal products.”

“I don’t think this is an accident. They could have chosen another plasmid that did not have the SV40 sequences.”

“We never needed these vaccines.  We had treatments that worked…..hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, I can tell ya as a toxicologist, they are  not toxic. They are some of the safest drugs you can use.” ~ Dr. Janci Lindsay

“The Pfizer vaccine is contaminated with plasmid DNA, it’s not just mRNA…I’m kind of alarmed about the possible consequences of this…It could be causing some of the rare, but serious, side effects like death from cardiac arrest…This DNA can and likely will integrate into the genomic DNA of cells that got transfected with the vaccine mix…It’s different from RNA because it can be permanent…It could cause theoretically…a sustained autoimmune attack towards that tissue. It’s also a very real theoretical risk of future cancer in some people…There’s probably about 200 billion pieces of this plasmid DNA in each dose of the vaccine…This is a bad idea.” ~ Cancer Genomics Expert Dr. Phillip Buckhaults

Please see Dr. Ute Krüger, pathologist, on the cancers she is finding in the COVID jabbed.

Also see a published report concluding the COVID shot is the cause of cancer.

And a new study of 17 countries found a “definite causal link” between peaks in all-cause mortality and the rollout of the COVID shots.

What You Need to Know About the Latest COVID Jab Rollout

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

Sept. 19, 2023

STORY AT-A-GLANCE 

  • The U.S. government is rolling out a new COVID shot this fall that is recommended for all people, including those who have not taken the initial series
  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has “approved” the reformulated shots by Pfizer and Moderna for individuals 12 years of age and older, and “authorized” them under emergency use for children between the ages of 6 months and 11 years
  • The new shots are formulated to include a single mRNA corresponding to the Omicron variant XBB.1.5., the dominant variant in the U.S. for most of 2023, but which has since been replaced by other variants 
  • The FDA anticipates the COVID jab will be updated once a year going forward, just like the seasonal flu vaccine
  • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has denounced mask and vaccine mandates, saying any renewal of such federal mandates will not be enforced in Florida, now or in the future
The federal COVID public health emergency ended May 11, 2023 and no emergency exists.

These shots are already extinct as the dominant variant has been replaced by others and will continue to be replaced by others.  The COVID shots will be updated yearly like the notoriously ineffective flu vaccine, due to mismatched strains.

While Pfizer and Moderna continue the narrative of “safe and effective,” this time they aren’t bragging about percentages, and just stating they are “significantly effective” or  “effective.”  I guess we can just use our imagination.

They are obviously banking on us forgetting this:

Pfizer documents released by the FDA in response to a lawsuit revealed that in the first three months of the rollout, there were 42,086 adverse event reports, including 1,223 deaths. The 1976 swine flu vaccine was pulled after only 25 deaths. Pfizer documented at least 158,000 different “side effects of special interest” in its trials, all while claiming there were no safety concerns.

The bivalent boosters were tested on a few mice which tell nothing of their safety and efficacy which was based on antibody titers alone.  They tell us they are “effective” but give no data.  The FDA is refusing to provide safety data.

As of 9/1/23 VAERS, which only has a 1% capture rate, has recorded 1,589,970 adverse events & 36,080 deaths after the shots.

ACP Extends Therapeutic Nihilism into 4th Year of Pandemic

American College of Physicians Extends Therapeutic Nihilism into Fourth Year of Pandemic

Biased Review Ignores Protocols, Thousands of Studies, Claims Only Two Government Authorized Drugs Can be Used for Ambulatory COVID-19

SEP 20, 2023

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

Practicing physicians have lost trust in the associations and public health agencies that comprise the orthodoxy. The American College of Physicians represents internists and medical specialists. Their journal, Annals of Internal Medicine was trusted for years. The pandemic changed all of that forever.

The ACP and The Annals have not published or reprinted a single community of care COVID-19 protocol or paper on how to treat SARS-CoV-2 infection or manage mRNA vaccine injury syndromes. Their most recent contribution to the literature was a travesty.

Sommer et al published an a review that omitted thousands of studies and randomized trials of nasal sprays, gargles, oral generic medications, and multi-drug protocols. Incredulously, out of the mass of literature on early treatment for COVID-19, they selected 8 papers and quickly settled only two oral therapies that could be used—both products of government investment through Operation Warp Speed with Pfizer and Merck and with that bias arrived at this tepid conclusion: “Nirmatrelvir–ritonavir and molnupiravir probably improve outcomes for outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19.”

Sommer et al, Qaseem et al, https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/abs/10.7326/M23-1636

The Annals piled on more therapeutic nihilism with “Rapid Practice Points” from Qaseem et al which encourage use of nirmatrelvir–ritonavir and molnupiravir and discourage use of ivermectin and sotrovimab (no off the market). What about the dozens of other drugs used today in standard-of-care? How about the McCullough Protocol as the most widely used approach in the world? Not a word or mention in The Annals. None of these authors claimed to have treated patients nor have they published protocols or clinical outcomes from own original research.

I have concluded the American College of Physicians among many medical organizations is captured by the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex who is hell-bent on a vaccine-only strategy for this and future pandemics. They have no care or concern for sick patients or early therapeutics.

**Comment**

Information about cheap, effective, safe COVID treatments has been out there from the beginning but has been highly censored, ignored, and even maligned by ‘the powers that be.”  This same corruption has been seen in Lymeland for over 40 years, so I don’t hold out much hope of this changing. The best we can do is find independent doctors (while we are able!) who are willing to listen, use their own God-given brains, and treat us appropriately.  Mainstream medicine including hospitals, “evidence-based” medicine, the monopolization of public health, professional medical groups, and research institutions are completely bought-out and not to be trusted. They are all guilty of disinformation which has killed thousands upon thousands of people.

Is SOT For Lyme & Tick-borne Infections a Scam?

Is SOT for Lyme & Tick-borne Infections a Scam?

SOT for Lyme Image from Marty Ross MD
By Dr. Marty Ross

Updated: 9/19/23

This update includes a review of research published by the manufacturer of Lyme SOT in late 2022. Based on my review of this new science, I have retitled this article: Is SOT for Lyme & Tick-borne Infections a Scam?

Probability of Health Improvement

  • My clinical experience: not enough experience to say
  • MyLymeData: no research conducted
  • RGCC Funded Research: biased study with inadequate data
  • Placebo effect benefit of any prescription medicine: 30-40 percent

Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy Background

Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy (SOT) is a new treatment for Lyme disease. SOT is also called Antisense Oligonucleotide Therapy (ASOT), which is the term used in medical research papers. SOT uses laboratory-derived nucleic acids (genetic code) that blocks production of disease-causing proteins or even gene expression. These pieces of genetic code are called oligonucleotides. You can think of oligonucleotides as a genetic message.

For example, in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), SOT provides oligonucleotides to direct the correct production of a protein called dystrophin. People with muscular dystrophy are born with DNA that provides the wrong genetic message for dystrophin. SOT correction to the DNA message leads to production of dystrophin. This prevents the muscle damage seen in DMD.

In Lyme disease, a currently available type of SOT produced by RGCC in Greece uses oligonucleotides to stop germ growth and replication. Unlike the SOT therapy for DMD, the Lyme SOT is not an FDA-approved drug. To be approved by the FDA, a therapy must have scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness.

As I explain below, SOT does not alter DNA. Instead, it provides a short-term change to how the DNA blueprint is expressed.  (See link for article)

A Personal Journey of Healing Body, Mind, and Spirit

A personal journey of healing body, mind, and spirit

By Erin Leopold

Aug. 23, 2023

I am listening, but it’s as if I am under water and everything they are saying is garbled and unclear. All I can think is, how do I have Lyme disease when I am sure I was tested several different times? Is this what I suffered with since I first got sick at age 17?

Despair and hopelessness flood my veins. Anger at how this wasn’t caught storms my mind. I am furious at all these doctors over the years who made me feel like I was crazy and that it’s all in my head! All the looks and comments from them implying I needed to see a shrink. NO! I trusted doctors to know what they were doing and help me but instead I faced continual dismissal like I was some hypochondriac. I am mad, and I’m not alone.

My name is Erin Leopold, and the above is an excerpt from my recently released memoir entitled Finding My Second Wind. My story begins as a 17-year-old high school junior making good grades, enjoying life with family and friends, and playing high-level soccer. I was the picture of health and resembled the All-American girl.

Suddenly, my life changed for the worse when I became extremely ill from an otherwise common childhood virus. It wasn’t long before life as I knew it came to a screeching halt as physical debilitation set in. I was also overcome with fear and anxiety.

Finding the root cause

Lyme disease and co-infections played a significant role in my life for 32 years, proving to be at the root of my 20+ medical diagnoses. I had SO many symptoms throughout these exhausting years: GI issues including numerous food allergies/intolerances; musculoskeletal pain including degenerative discs/stenosis/sciatica (led to two surgeries); severe outdoor allergies leading to chronic sinus infections; dizziness; brain fog; profuse sweating; weakness/neuropathy; anxiety; depression; confusion; burning and numbness in my extremities; migraines; insomnia; adrenal fatigue; and hormonal imbalances.

I used a balanced approach to treatment, leaning more towards functional/integrative medicine because allopathic medicine sought to treat symptoms only, and I desired a more holistic approach addressing root causes. I became my greatest advocate by voraciously studying all things nutrition and lifestyle changes. I did everything from taking an abundance of supplements and herbs to massage therapy, chiropractic care, infrared saunas, acupuncture, dry needling, active release/myofascial release, reiki, electromagnet shields/mattresses/shoe inserts, and detox baths. You name it and I probably did it.

Now, I am 54 and have been married for 30 years. I am a mom to three adult children and two fur babies. I love nature and the outdoors and have spent most of my life leading and teaching people through fitness and health.

Healing, finally

Like many of you reading this, I’ve gone through many ups and downs, victories and defeats. Yet things finally came together for me.

After years of treatments,  I began working to heal my soul and learned a lot about neuroplasticity and how the mind works. Dots started connecting. My faith is the cornerstone to that success as I began studying and meditating on the Word of God along with doing other reading/learning/therapies including transformational prayer, EMDR, DNRS, and works by top doctors in the neuroscience/brain field. It’s like one day I woke up and breakthroughs came!

Finding My Second Wind chronicles my personal journey of healing the spirit, soul, and body. If you find yourself running on a similar, unplanned road, I hope my story will equip you with useful tools and motivate you to never give up.

I could literally go onto infinity with these stories.  Unfortunately, while they help the public understand things better, they don’t appear to make one iota of difference in the medical field or in research.  Forty years have passed with little to no progress.  Patients are still mis or undiagnosed, untreated, suffer horrifically, and get ZERO help in mainstream medicine or most research.  Again, your best help will come from the maligned Lyme literate doctors who are continually persecuted by state medical boards.
