As My Daughter Got Sicker and Sicker, Our Quest For Answers Dragged On. How Did We All Miss Lyme Disease?

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/sep/28/as-my-daughter-got-sicker-and-sicker-our-quest-for-answers-dragged-on-how-did-we-all-miss-the-bacteria-taking-over-her-body

As my daughter got sicker and sicker, our quest for answers dragged on. How did we all miss the bacteria taking over her body?

I write about nature, but when Milly got sick with a mystery illness, it never occurred to me that a long-forgotten tick bite could be the cause

There are many reasons to feel guilty. I’m a nature writer who preaches about the importance of wild childhoods, and my daughter has been made chronically ill by one trip to the countryside. I’m a journalist whose job it is to interrogate information and yet I didn’t demand better answers for her from NHS doctors. But the guilt is most painful when I remember a freezing wet day in October 2021.

Milly’s U10s football club were playing the league’s top team. Milly, player of the year the previous season, a whirl of blond energy across the pitch, had lost her enthusiasm for the beautiful game. That morning, she really didn’t want to play: she was tearful and exhausted. There was nothing obviously wrong: no cough, sickness, temperature. Her twin, Esme, was playing but without Milly the team were a player short. I told Milly they needed her. Stoic, she staggered off but couldn’t step on to the pitch. Instead, she curled into a ball of misery and fatigue beside her coach. The rain fell. Her team lost 15-1.

I cringe when I flick through the notebook where I recorded my daughters’ football matches (I was tragically keen). Below most results from the 21/22 season, I’ve written “Milly ill” or, worse, “Milly played ¼” or “Milly played ½”. All the time, cajoled or compelled to lead her “normal” life, Milly was getting sicker and sicker. We had no idea what was wrong. Every morning she looked terrible, dark circles beneath her eyes. She complained of perpetual tiredness, talked of being “disconcentrated” – she later learned to call this “brain fog” – and mentioned strange stabbing pains, mostly in her feet when she walked. Soon, she was too ill to go to school. Lockdown was over but it had become a permanent state for Milly, my wife, Lisa, and me.

What we didn’t know then, and wouldn’t discover until this spring, was that Milly’s body was being invaded by an insidious bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, which hides in connective tissue, confounding immune systems, wreaking havoc. Milly had Lyme disease, which takes its name from Old Lyme, a coastal town in Connecticut. This bacterial infection is not contagious but is transmitted by a tick, a tiny, blood-sucking arachnid that hops on to human skin in the countryside, where it is transported by other mammals, particularly deer. There are 476,000, and rising, annual cases in North America alone. Global heating is making ticks, their bacteria – and human illnesses – much more prevalent. (See link for article)

**Comment**

Another beautiful life side-lined by a bacteria we still know very little about that is infecting people by the millions and chronically affecting the lives untold numbers.

If I had a quarter for every misdiagnosis that was Lyme/MSIDS, I’d be a millionaire.

Will things ever change?

ACTION: Repeal Real ID & Exit the UN

This website recently posted how tariffs are being used to propel UN sustainable development goals.  Information on Digital ID is also included.

The action here is for Real ID, a physical ID card that meets federal standards primarily for air travel and federal access while Digital ID is a digital version stored in a Smartphone that can be used for similar purposes.  Both serve to verify identity but can and will be used for so much more.

The problem with both is the fact it centralizes all of your data into one easy place which can and will be used against you.  We already have driver’s licenses, passports, passport cards and many other forms if identification.

Didn’t get your latest ‘vaccine,’ suddenly you can’t purchase food at the store.  It’s that easy.

In short, an ultimate diabolical plan is in place which would tokenize everything, trapping us in a digital prison where getting help for Lyme/MSIDS will become harder if not impossible. Real ID is the first step toward the plan.

It’s hard enough as it is for Lyme/MSIDS patients who are required to go out of mainstream medicine to find experienced and knowledgable Lyme literate doctors who typically don’t take insurance.  These independent doctors could save your life but are already being persecuted for defying an accepted narrative.

https://standforhealthfreedom.com/actions/repeal-realid/  Go here to sign petition

Repeal Real ID

Our Stand: At-A-Glance

  • The Safeguarding Personal Information Act of 2025 (S.2769), which was filed by Senator Rand Paul, would fully repeal Title II of the REAL ID Act of 2005.
  • That section of law forces states to turn driver’s licenses into a single, federally controlled ID system. After nearly twenty years of delays, the government started enforcing it nationwide by May 7, 2025.
  • The bill, introduced September 11, 2025, is simple and powerful: “Title II of the REAL ID Act of 2005 is repealed.”
  • No loopholes. No half-measures. Just a return of identification standards to the states and the people.

Why Repeal Matters

  • Privacy: REAL ID centralizes personal data, creating a ready-made national citizen database vulnerable to misuse.
  • Civil Liberties: Conditioning the right to travel on federal approval sneaks around the Fourth Amendment and state sovereignty.
  • Mission Creep: The REAL ID law allows the Department of Homeland Security to expand ID requirements “for any other purposes,” inviting future surveillance and digital tracking.
  • Federal Control: The plan for REAL ID is to move from physical to digital identification to be used for “verification” of a person when they want to do things like open a bank account.
  • Digital Surveillance: REAL ID could be integrated into a digital wallet, along with banking and personal health information.

What You Can Do Right Now

  1. Contact your U.S. Senators. Urge them to co-sponsor and vote for the Safeguarding Personal Information Act of 2025.
  2. Spread the word. Share this message with neighbors, faith communities, and privacy advocates so Congress hears a united voice.

Freedom First: Exit the UN!

Push Congress to Pass HR 1498 & S 669
Published: Sep 30, 2025

Our Stand: At-A-Glance

  • Last week, Secretary Kennedy publicly declined to sign the United Nations political declaration on noncommunicable diseases and mental health, citing its failure to address the chronic disease epidemic and what he described as the World Health Organization’s inability to produce meaningful reform. His statement underscored a larger problem: an international body seeking authority over the health policies of sovereign nations.
  • Secretary Kennedy’s rejection makes this the most opportune time to support and pass HR 1498 and S 669, the Disengaging Entirely From the United Nations Debacle (DEFUND) Act of 2025. These companion bills would end U.S. membership in the United Nations and every one of its agencies, including the World Health Organization, and permanently halt American funding for those institutions.
  • What the DEFUND Act Would Do
    • Terminate U.N. membership and funding: Repeals the 1945 United Nations Participation Act, directs the President to withdraw from the UN and all its specialized agencies, and stops all U.S. contributions, assessed or voluntary.
    • Close U.N. operations on U.S. soil: Orders the closure of the U.S. Mission to the U.N., repeals the 1947 Headquarters Agreement that allows the U.N. to operate in New York, and revokes related diplomatic privileges.
    • End participation in the World Health Organization: Repeals the 1948 resolution authorizing U.S. involvement in the WHO and blocks any future U.S. funding or staffing.
    • Prevent future re-entry without Senate approval: Requires explicit Senate consent for any future attempt to rejoin the U.N. or its agencies, with a guaranteed right of withdrawal.

The global “one-size-fits-all” policies, whether on public health, taxation, or digital surveillance, undermine the ability of American communities to shape their own decisions. Secretary Kennedy’s rejection of the U.N. health declaration highlights concerns that international authorities are seeking to expand control at the expense of national and local governance.

Take Action: Tell Congress to cosponsor and vote YES on HR 1498 and S.669. Contact your Representatives and Senators today, now is the time to apply pressure.

What’s the Beef With Tylenol?

What’s the Beef With Tylenol?

I’m thankful beyond words I was raised by a woman who would rather die than take a pill.  Seriously, the woman simply ‘dealt’ with whatever malady came her way with a staunch stoicism that Zeno would have been proud of.

Fever?  Put a cold compress on your head.

I truly feel sorry for women today.
Particularly pregnant women posting videos of themselves popping Tylenol simply for political reasons.

While the world normalizes injecting pregnant women with a literal stew of adjuvants, toxins, and contaminants, I was pregnant at a time when injecting a woman with anything would have been viewed as a crime against humanity.  Taking a pain reliever was heavily frowned upon.

Pregnancy’s hard – so suck it up buttercup!

We are now hearing for the first time that Tylenol makers concealed its role in brain inflammation (Autism) cascade for seven years.

Tylenol Link to Autism

Dr. Christina Parks

Sept. 24, 2025

Dr. Christina Parks, PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology, shares insights on potential links between Tylenol (acetaminophen), vaccines, and autism. She discusses emerging research suggesting that prenatal exposure to acetaminophen may be associated with increased risks of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and ADHD. Her message emphasizes the importance of understanding biochemical pathways and the need for caution when using medications during pregnancy.

Parks states that when you combine a vaccine with Tylenol, it is a double whammy completely depleting glutathione, the main ingredient our body uses to suppress inflammation.  Since ‘vaccines’ often cause encephalitis (brain inflammation), the usage of Tylenol, which depletes glutathione, sets the person up to not be able to fend off this inflammation.

Please note the comment after the article:

As a Registered Pharmacist since 1969, I read about hepatotoxicity of Tylenol back in the ’70’s but it was sloughed off as some glitch in a batch or two that came from Japan or something.

Anyway I was in a Hooks drug store in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1972 when the McNeil representative came in and in the course of chatting with him I told him that I had read that Tylenol was toxic to the liver. So I asked him just how toxic it was and he replied:

“Every time you take a Tylenol tablet some of your liver cells die…”

From God’s mouth to our ears….

As little as 8 Grams of Tylenol taken in a 24 hour period can be lethal …to put it in context…that is 2 EXTRA Strength Tylenol tablets take every 3 hours around the clock!! The lethal reaction can be delayed for 24 to 48 hours, there is no known way to remove the Tylenol once it is in the body and once the reaction begins there is NO way to stop it!!

BACK THEN it was reported that conservatively around 10,000 Tylenol deaths occurred in the US YEARLY… in 50 years that is 5,000,000 deaths !!!! So while everyone has been heaving and hoeing about thousands of vaccine related deaths and I am sure they exist…. AT LEAST FIVE MILLION AMERICANS HAVE DIED FROM ACCIDENTAL TYLENOL OVERDOSE IN THE LAST HALF DECADE AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT….UNTIL NOW! Tylenol SHOULD NEVER BE GIVEN TO INFANTS OR CHILDREN….. IT’S TOXIC TO EVERYONE…~ Dr. Dennis Kinnane OMD LAc RPh

Sadly, the good pharmacist downplays ‘vaccination’ in this drama.  This is a mistake.

As journalist Celia Farber states:

*I hope we can get past the deliberate distortion going around that anybody, RFK Jr. for example, claims Tylenol “causes autism.”

It is present in almost 100% of autism catastrophes, and seems to LOCK IN the reaction the body might otherwise overcome. (Glutathione response.) That would make it a driver of the cascade, or trap—not the originating toxin.

It locks the exits.

Well said.

But the deflection to Tylenol as the sole perp is already revving up hundreds of lawsuits.  To me this is like blaming only one of the three Musketeers.

Go here for a MWD’s more detailed analysis on Tylenol. He wisely states that if a fever is suppressed artificially, the diagnostic signal is lost – like in the case of Lyme and malaria.  Further, suppressing a fever will suppress the body’s ability to suppress illness.

Important quote:

Trials alleging the benefit of NSAIDs are frequently intentionally deceptive and frequently create the illusion of a benefit where none exists. What this means is that many patients ruin their lives with drugs that did almost nothing for them in the first place.—Peter Gøtzsche

Dear Dr. Robinson,

The two NIH funded studies that set the stage for treatment denial (worldwide) had serious flaws in the methodology used to identify the causative agent of Lyme disease. This flawed science has caused unimaginable pain and suffering around the globe. What has been wrongfully established here in the United States has been propagated worldwide and promoted through CABI Digital Library.

Please take a moment to read the following email addressed to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Director of the National Institutes of Health identifying the problem that fueled the controversy over Lyme disease. A copy of this email has been sent to CABI’s Bioscience Services for review.

Dear Dr. Bhattacharya,

Twenty-four years ago, Dr. Mark Klempner’s NIH funded research set the stage for long-term treatment denial when his methodology could not isolate the causative agent responsible for Lyme disease. Although a growing body of peer-reviewed evidence refuted his findings, the Centers for Disease Control refused to acknowledge anything outside of Klempner’s results and turned the disease into a syndrome when patients remained sick after the one size fits all IDSA mandated treatment protocol of 2-4 weeks.

Recent evaluation of Klempner’s methodology has uncovered fatal flaws in his PCR testing for Lyme disease; grants N01-AI-65308 and M01 RR000054.

Dr. Klempner,

As a follow-up to my 2018 inquiry (which you did not respond) I would like to share a recent communication I had with Dr Sin Lee of Milford Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, specializing in DNA sequencing-based diagnostics. Following his lead, I asked AI a question about your methodology for detecting Borrelia burgdorferi in your NIH funded antibiotic treatment trials for Lyme disease.

Dr. Lee’s question to AI: 

Regarding Sanger Sequencing of Borrelia burgdorferi….

IMR Press   2025 Jun 19

Sanger Sequencing of Borrelia burgdorferi flaB Paralogs Detected Spirochetemia at the Early Localized Stage of Lyme Disease
Sin Hang Lee
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40613208/

-Dr Lee: “Accurate diagnosis of Lyme bacterial infection is the crux of the problem, which cannot be mitigated by mathematics. I asked AI to review my recent publication. Here is what AI says (I never purify any samples before PCR):” 

AI Overview

Yes, you’ve identified a significant risk associated with purifying a single target DNA molecule from a pool of non-target DNA for PCR amplification: 

potential loss of the very target DNA during the purification process.

Here’s why and some considerations:

Why purification can lead to target DNA loss

Multi-step process: DNA purification often involves multiple steps like cell lysis, binding to a matrix, washing, and elution. Each step presents an opportunity for loss, especially with extremely low quantities of starting material.

Low input DNA: When aiming to amplify a single DNA molecule, the initial amount of target DNA is minuscule. Even small inefficiencies at each stage can result in the complete loss of the target DNA before PCR can even begin.

Adsorption and binding inefficiencies: DNA might not bind efficiently to the purification matrix or might be lost during washing steps, especially if there are other cellular components or inhibitors present that interfere with binding.
Mechanical shearing: Some methods involve physical disruption or manipulation, which can damage the delicate DNA molecule and render it unusable for PCR.

Incomplete elution: The elution step, where the purified DNA is released from the matrix, might not be 100% efficient, leaving some target DNA behind.

Strategies to mitigate the risk
 

  • Optimize purification protocols: Careful optimization of buffers, incubation times, washing steps, and elution volumes is crucial to maximize recovery.
  • Use carrier RNA: Adding carrier RNA can improve the efficiency of DNA binding and recovery, particularly with low DNA concentrations.
  • Successive elutions: Performing multiple elution steps can help release more of the bound DNA from the purification matrix.
  • Avoid harsh methods: Consider less harsh purification techniques when working with minute quantities of DNA to minimize shearing and degradation.
  • Specialized kits: Commercial kits specifically designed for low input DNA or single molecule analysis may offer improved recovery rates compared to general DNA purification kits.
  • Direct amplification (where possible): In some cases, if the sample matrix is not highly inhibitory, direct amplification without extensive purification might be considered, although this increases the risk of PCR inhibition and false results.
  • Balancing purification and PCR inhibition

It’s a delicate balance. While purification aims to remove inhibitors that can hinder PCR, overly aggressive or inefficient purification can lead to the loss of the target itself. The choice of purification method and the level of rigor applied depend heavily on the sample type, the expected amount of target DNA, and the downstream PCR application.

Carl Tuttle’s question to AI: 

Did Dr Mark Klempner purify samples before PCR in his NIH funded antibiotic treatment trials for Lyme disease? 

AI Overview 
In a study co-authored by Dr. Mark Klempner, researchers purified PCR products using a commercial kit for sequencing and analysis

Specifically:

-PCR products were purified using the QIAquick PCR purification kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

-The purified samples were then eluted twice, and the eluates were pooled and sequenced.

Dr. Klempner,

Here are your PCR results from those NIH funded treatment trials: (ZERO POSITIVES!!) 

[View chart here:]https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wlt03jb03gdu5whj89tfe/Klempner-PCR-Results.jpg?rlkey=jtobbpx9x5szyf0p5ttra0igf&dl=0

-Dr. Lee: To increase the chances of detecting single copy of Borrelia burfdorferi chromosome (or Osp A gene in a linear plasmid as Klempner et al did) in a specimen, pre-PCR purification risks losing the target DNA. Here is why according to AI (as Klempner et al did) 

AI Overview

When working with low quantities of DNA, especially when purifying a few molecules, silica-membrane-based DNA purification kits can indeed lead to DNA loss

Reasons for DNA loss

  • Inefficient binding: While DNA binds to silica in the presence of chaotropic salts, at very low concentrations, not all DNA molecules may efficiently bind to the silica membrane.
  • Inefficient elution: Eluting DNA from silica can also be inefficient, especially for larger DNA fragments or supercoiled DNA, which bind more tightly to the column’s matrix.
  • Low elution volume: Using a low elution buffer volume can also reduce the final DNA yield.

-Dr Lee: “The biggest flaw in Klempner et al.’s NEJM 2001 publication is the following statement:” 

Base-line specimens of cerebrospinal fluid and plasma specimens obtained at base line and on days 3, 5, 21, and 45 were tested by PCR for the presence of B. burgdorferi DNA, as previously described. [21]

-Dr Lee: In the Results section, they claimed that they found no BB DNA in the blood of the patients. 

They should have known that there is a big difference between blood and plasma. In medicine, plasma is the supernatant of the unclotted whole blood (containing anticoagulants) after centrifugation to spin down the RBCs, WBCs and platelets. Since the authors are experts in Lyme disease, they should have known how Borrelia burgdorferi cells distribute in the blood fractions when being centrifuged. For example, even the Google AI clearly stated the following: 

AI Overview

Yes, it’s generally understood that Borrelia (the bacterium that causes Lyme disease) is significantly heavier than platelets.

AI Overview

Studies have shown that when Borrelia burgdorferi (the bacterium that causes Lyme disease) is introduced into whole blood, it tends to concentrate within the platelet fraction. This suggests that Borrelia may have a similar sedimentation rate to platelets, or that it associates with platelets during the sedimentation process.

Here’s a closer look at what we know about the sedimentation rates of platelets and Borrelia:

Platelet sedimentation

Antisedimentation: Interestingly, platelets don’t actually “sediment” in the traditional sense of settling downwards in response to gravity. Instead, they float on top of the blood column, a phenomenon known as antisedimentation.

-Dr Lee: “The bottom line is that Klempner lost all the Borrelia cells, if any, in the blood specimens before he started his PCR that obviously generated false-negative results.” 

So, Dr. Klempner…. It appears that my original assessment was correct and your methodology was fatally flawed as suspected. Let me remind you that as an NIH funded author, you have a moral obligation to acknowledge mistakes which ultimately set the stage for long-term treatment denial.

Attn: Mark S. Klempner, MD, Executive Vice Chancellor, MassBiologics

Dr. Klempner,

I would like to call attention to the attached study recently identifying chronic Lyme disease in twelve patients from Canada.

Persistent Borrelia Infection in Patients with Ongoing Symptoms of Lyme Disease
http://www.mdpi.com/2227-9032/6/2/33

All of these patients were culture positive for infection (genital secretions, skin “Morgellons” and blood) even after multiple years on antibiotics so there was no relief from current antimicrobials. Some of these patients had taken as many as eleven different types of antibiotics.

In contrast, your 2001 antibiotic treatment study found; “no evidence of B. burgdorferi in a total of more than 700 different blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples from the 129 patients in these studies.”

Two Controlled Trials of Antibiotic Treatment in Patients with Persistent Symptoms and a History of Lyme Disease
http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM200107123450202#article_references#t=references

Not a single positive Dr. Klempner? Doesn’t this statistically prove that your methodology was fatally flawed?

Did you culture skin and genital secretions as the Middelveen paper reports? It would appear that you conveniently stopped looking after your results supported the existing thirty year dogma; chronic Lyme does not exist.

Persistent Lyme disease is not new and has been intentionally/deceitfully suppressed for decades as described in the Vicki Logan case identified in the following letter to past CDC Director Barbara Fitzgerald:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xaul84dqmqgbre0/Brenda%20Fitzgerald%20MD%20Director%20CDC.docx?dl=0
In 1991 B. burgdorferi had been isolated in culture from Vicki Logan’s CSF (CDC’s laboratory in Fort Collins CO.) despite prior treatment with 21 days of IV cefotaxime and 4 months of oral minocycline.

The dishonest science here in the U.S. has denied chronic Lyme which stifled research to find a curative approach. Now the rest of the world is suffering.

We have lost nearly four decades to this 21st century plague due to the racketeering scheme identified in the RICO lawsuit filed by SHRADER & ASSOCIATES, LLP against the Infectious Disease Society of America, seven IDSA Panelists and eight insurance companies. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has aligned itself with the seven IDSA Panelists identified in this lawsuit.

Court Document:
https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/LymeDisease.pdf

Lyme is an incurable disease when not treated immediately which is spreading across North America and deceitfully misclassified as a low-risk and non-urgent health issue. Patient experience is describing a disease that is destroying lives, ending careers, causing death and disability while leaving victims in financial ruin. Current antimicrobials are ineffective for eradicating all forms of the Borrelia spirochete.

Public outcry has been ignored for decades while the Centers for Disease Control sat on evidence that this infection was not easily treated with a one size fits all treatment approach as dictated by the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

Once again your studies were fatally flawed while supporting the controlling dogma leaving hundreds of thousands if not millions worldwide with a persistent infection and absolutely no relief. We have another AIDS on our hands.

About My Guest

My guest for this episode is Dr. Tami Lyday.  Tami Lyday, DO, MS has been a physician since 2006 and a functional and integrative specialist since 2017. Prior to that, she spent 11 years as a family practitioner but was never quite satisfied with conventional medical approaches.  Her mother’s illness and subsequent side effects of traditional treatments prompted her to learn more about integrative medicine, and she has not looked back.  Dr. Lyday believes functional and integrative medicine is the best way to ensure lasting recovery as it helps patients determine the root of their health issues and does not rely on medications that treat symptoms while ignoring the underlying causes of illness.  She pursued training and certifications in functional and integrative medicine, including specialty training and certifications in the treatment of mold-related illnesses and Lyme disease. At the time of her certification, she was one of only 26 practitioners in the world who were Shoemaker certified in mold treatment protocols.  After 4 years as a functional and integrative medical practitioner, she opened The Lyday Center to provide a dedicated resource for people who are suffering from mystery illnesses and ailments that don’t respond to conventional treatment and are seeking natural solutions to their chronic illnesses.  Since that time, she has expanded her specialties to include the treatment of thyroid disorders and overall energy levels.  Her mission is to heal the world one patient at a time.
