CAN ANAPLASMOSIS CAUSE HEART PROBLEMS?

anaplasmosis-heart-problems

The number of cases of human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is rising in the United States, with more than a three-fold increase over the past several years. The tick-borne illness is not often associated with conduction problems and myocardial disease. But a new study highlights a case in which anaplasmosis triggered mycopericarditis.

In their article, “Case report: human granulocytic anaplasmosis causes acute myopericarditis with atrial fibrillation,” Levy et al. describe the case of a 65-year-old man who presented to the emergency room with fever and malaise, which had persisted for one week.¹ An electrocardiogram showed new atrial fibrillation and conduction abnormalities.

The man resides in a suburb of Boston in a home surrounded by wooded areas. “He reported being outdoors regularly for kayaking trips in the few months prior to presentation,” the authors wrote.

“Anaplasma serologies were positive for IgM and negative for IgG, and subsequent PCR detected anaplasma phagocytophilum DNA,” the author wrote. “CMR imaging revealed findings consistent with myopericarditis.”

According to the authors, the man had “an isolated HGA infection, and cardiac workup showed evidence of myopericarditis as well as conduction system disease.”

Conduction and rhythm abnormalities are frequently associated with Lyme disease but have not been previously reported with [anaplasmosis] HGA.

“This case highlights that conduction and rhythm disturbance can be a feature of myocarditis in the setting of isolated [anaplasmosis] HGA infection,” the authors wrote.

“In our patient HGA was the sole identifiable culprit,” the authors point out. “This is an uncommon finding; isolated HGA myocarditis or myopericarditis has been reported only once previously.”

The authors conclude:

  • “myopericarditis and serious haemodynamic compromise are potential severe complications of HGA infection, without the need for a concomitant Lyme infection.
  • “anaplasma phagocytophilum infection, in the absence of any concomitant Lyme disease, can cause acute myopericarditis”
  • “HGA myopericarditis can present with electrical disturbances including atrial fibrillation and conduction system disease.”

It is important to include anaplasmosis in patients presenting with clinical symptoms consistent with myopericarditis and continuing doxycycline treatment until both Lyme disease and HGA are ruled out, the authors explained. This is particularly relevant to those patients living in endemic regions who present with symptoms during the late Spring through early Fall.

WHO Backs Down on IHR Amendments But It Ain’t Over By a Longshot

Shocking WHO Pandemic Treaty Update

Feb. 9, 2023

Australian Senator Malcolm Roberts explains that in a rare win, the World Health Organization has backed down on proposed International Health Regulation (IHR) amendments for compulsory vaccination and lockdowns. But this is only a win in a minor battle from a much larger war, because the Pandemic Treaty that would do the same thing is patiently waiting in the wings. This diabolical treaty is a main reason why many refuse to declare the pandemic over, including Biden who states the national emergency will magically end exactly on May 11.  The WHO states COVID is at a “transition point,” despite the very real pandemic fatigue, low cases and deaths, and the acknowledgment that COVID will always be with us, and simply isn’t ready to move on (i.e. concede power.)

Astrid Stuckelberger, PhD, former member of the WHO research and ethics review committee, spoke about the WHO’s slowly changing agenda.  German political scientist ILona Kickbusch wrote a paper which was circulated between all member states on how they were going to establish a new convention.  They want to take down the Constitution of the national member state, and establish the WHO Constitution as the only one, giving them all power to do anything they want including changing definitions to whatever they want (definition of pandemic, vaccines, etc.) in the midst of a ‘pandemic,’ which clearly shows why they are in no hurry to declare COVID over. The following slide is from the interview which shows the strategy the WHO is rolling out.

The concerted power grab is very real as is the desire to centralize and monopolize all of medicine not only in the U.S. but globally

This should concern everyone but particularly Lyme/MSIDS patients as we already have an uphill battle to get diagnosed and treated due to this very real monopoly.  Red flags should immediately appear whenever the words “consensus” based medicine are uttered.  Science is always evolving and there is, or should be healthy debate.  The fact ‘the powers that be’ have squashed all debate over COVID should be proof enough that something is rotten in Denmark.  They’ve done it with Lyme/MSIDS for over 40 years and continue unabated.

14% and 10% Drop in Fertility in Germany and Sweden After COVID Shot Program

Here come the data…..

https://www.bib.bund.de/Publikation/2022/Fertility-declines-near-the-end-of-the-COVID-19-pandemic-Evidence-of-the-2022-birth-declines-in-Germany-and-Sweden

Fertility declines near the end of the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence of the 2022 birth declines in Germany and Sweden

Bujard, Martin; Andersson, Gunnar (2022)

BiB Working Paper 6/2022. WiesbadenBundesinstitut für Bevölkerungsforschung

“Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, several countries faced short-term fertility declines in 2020 and 2021, a development which did not materialize in Scandinavian and German-speaking countries. However, more recent birth statistics show a steep fertility decline in the aftermath of the pandemic in 2022. We aim to provide data on the unexpected birth decline in 2022 in Germany and Sweden and relate these data to pandemic-related contextual developments which could have influenced the post-pandemic fertility development. We rely on monthly birth statistics and present seasonally adjusted monthly Total Fertility Rates (TFR) for Germany and Sweden. We relate the nine-months lagged fertility rates to contextual developments regarding COVID-19 mortality and morbidity, unemployment rates, and COVID-19 vaccinations.

The seasonally adjusted monthly TFR of Germany dropped from 1.5-1.6 in 2021 to 1.3-1.4 in 2022, a decline of about 14%. In Sweden, the corresponding TFR dropped from about 1.7 in 2021 to 1.5-1.6 in 2022, a decline of almost 10%. There is no association of the fertility trends with changes in unemployment, infection rates, or COVID-19 deaths. However, there is a strong association between the onset of vaccination programmes and the fertility decline nine months after of this onset. The fertility decline in the first months of 2022 in Germany and Sweden is remarkable. Common explanations of fertility change during the pandemic do not apply in its aftermath. The association between the onset of mass vaccinations and subsequent fertility decline indicates that people adjusted their behaviour to get vaccinated before becoming pregnant, as societies were opening up with post-pandemic life conditions. Our study provides novel information on fertility declines in countries previously not affected by any COVID-19 baby bust. We provide a first appraisal of the COVID-19-fertility nexus in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic.”

Walensky Face Plants Again – But is Still in Office

https://jeffereyjaxen.substack.com/p/the-fall-of-the-cdc-as-walensky-goes

The Fall of The CDC As Walensky Goes Down With The Ship

In the current administration, it appears that no amount of public face plants will get health officials quietly shuffled out of their positions. During the pandemic response, flawed as it was, the American people watched as a master manipulator with decades of experienced double talk, gaslighting families and bold faced lies to the public. Tony Fauci was a rare breed of operator with a pedigree to conceal inconvenient truths in realtime – and he did with masks, vaccines efficacy, safety and lockdowns. 

Then we have CDC director Rochelle Walensky. She is in many ways the antithesis of Fauci and his ilk. Although much of the public knows that a manipulative response is coming after she’s asked a question, her answers leave people within earshot frustrated and hopeless. Not because she’s an inept public health leader but because her effort to conceal truths has front facing childlike unpreparedness.

At one time in her career, Walensky may have been a sharp, hard-hitting professor at Harvard and hospital chief propelling her into the director position at the top public health agency in the US. Yet, akin to a Benjamin Button of health communication and public relations, Walensky seems to regress in tact, professionalism and trust as her tenure as CDC director goes forward in time. With Charles Manson-like eye contact, Walensky often says things she probably shouldn’t say out loud – or at the very least, seems not to know any better.  (See link for article)

________________

SUMMARY:

  • Walensky et al., who all knew Pfizer never properly tested their gene therapy product for effectiveness or safety, went from saying COVID jabs were 95% effective to they don’t stop transmission or infection, after millions had already received them.
  • She face-planted completely off the PR wagon when she blamed ‘too much optimism’ for the reason ‘nobody’ thought the efficacy would wane or be potent against other variants.
  • When the ACIP recommended the gene therapy shots to pediatric ages, she gave the tone-deaf reason that it was the only way it could be covered in The Vaccines For Children (VFC) program, which is a U.S. government program to provide low-income families receiving government aid through Medicaid.
    • Some speculate that similarly to Brazil, this might be the path to require low-income families to have their children “vaccinated” to receive government aid benefits, such as food stamps.
    • The COVID-19 “vaccines” now add another 2-3 doses of vaccines to the 25 doses of other vaccines already on the CDC schedule that can be injected into babies and toddlers during their first 15 months of life.
    • The COVID shots were also added into the CDC schedule of immunizations for children 18-months-old to 18-years-old.
    • This also opens the door for local health departments and schools to add these shots to the CDC list of recommended vaccines as a requirement for school attendance.  This should trouble everyone.
    • Nobody seems to care that these gene therapy jabs DO NOT have FDA approval.  They remain under emergency use authorization (EUA) and are linked to more adverse reactions and death than ANY other vaccine in the history of VAERS, which only has a 1% capture rate.
  • Walensky had the gall to state that ‘misinformation’ was the reason people are losing faith in the childhood vaccination schedule, despite the fact overall safety testing is less than what the world just experienced with COVID shots.  This would almost be humorous if it wasn’t so serious.
  • When questioned over the known harm masks have caused children and adults, Walensky doubled down on the mantra that masks prevent transmission, despite a meta-analysis on 78 studies by Cochrane that determined masks probably make little to no difference in the outcome of influenza-like illnesses like COVID.The analysis also reported: Harms were rarely measured and poorly reported.”  Bingo!  Can we pleeeeeeeze move on from the mask nonsense?
    • Go here for a “must read” article on how despite the good scholarship of the mask review, Cochrane has become nothing more than a “political junk science rag.” Within the article is a rare interview with Tom Jefferson, one of the study authors, who doesn’t trust the media (gee I wonder why?).  Jefferson states: “Governments completely failed to do the right thing and demand better evidence.”  I highly recommend reading the transcript as Jefferson highlights the shenanigans within science journals that will do virtually anything nowadays to publish the “right answer,” i.e. accepted answer for the accepted narrative.
    • In this important video, Dr. Prasad reads a statement from CDC director Rochelle Walensky and then states the following:

      “She’s just making things up.  She’s good at making things up. She made up the fact that there’s credible data that we should mask kids between 2 and 5 even though UNICEF and the WHO said not to do that. She made that up.  She makes up lots of things, because she doesn’t actually use science to guide decision making, she just likes to make things up.” ~ Dr. Vinay Prasad  

  • While health “authorities” try and cover their backsides and excuse their incompetence and/or evil intent by stating they had to do something other than wait around for “the science,” a Cochrane study author states it best:

“…it’s a complete subversion of the ‘precautionary principle’ which states that you should do nothing unless you have reasonable evidence that benefits outweigh the harms.”  ~ Tom Jefferson, Cochrane epidemiologist

Finally, some common sense in a world gone mad.

Oops, I spoke too soon.

  • CDC now recommends people with heart disease get the gene therapy shot, which is notorious for causing heart disease.
  • Latest mRNA jab for RSV, a common childhood virus causing cold-like symptoms, wins expedited review, after MSM and ‘the powers that be’ perform identical line-dance moves over a supposed ‘tripledemic,’ that many blame on lockdowns that isolated people from common infections they normally develop antibodies to.

How to Treat Chronic Recurrent Treatment Resistant Intestinal Yeast Overgrowth Image

Weed, Seed, and Feed for Chronic Recurring Intestinal Yeast Overgrowth

Due to antibiotic herbs and prescriptions used to treat Lyme, some people develop very difficult to treat intestinal yeast overgrowth once Lyme and related infections are in remission or eliminated. Such people may try repeated rounds of anti-yeast medications, only to have the intestinal yeast recur again and again. In this video article, Marty Ross, MD explains how to stop this problem using a “weed, seed, and feed” approach.
