LYME ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS IN YOUNG CHILD EMERGE YEARS AFTER TICK BITE

lyme-arthritis-children

Symptoms of Lyme disease may not present immediately following a tick bite. As this case report highlights, taking a thorough medical and travel history can be crucial in diagnosing and treating the illness.

By Dr. Daniel Cameron

In their article, “Ten-year-old Omani Girl with Lyme Arthritis,” Mughaizwi and colleagues describe a young child who had lived in the United States for 5 years before moving to Oman.¹ One year after her return to Oman, she developed symptoms of Lyme arthritis.

“We report a 10-year-old girl who presented with acute arthritis of the left knee, which was confirmed as Lyme arthritis by serology and molecular assay,” the authors wrote.

The patient had lived in upstate New York for several years and recalled having 2 tick bites. The bites occurred 2-3 years prior to her onset of symptoms.

One year after returning to Oman, the young child began experiencing pain and swelling in her left knee, which worsened over the course of a week. She reportedly had no other physical complaints or joint pain.

“Our patient gave a history of tick bites at least a year prior to her current presentation.”

An examination “revealed marked left knee swelling, mildly tender and warm to touch, extending 2 cm above and below the knee joint,” the authors wrote. Additionally, “There was mild erythema at the superolateral aspect of the joint.”

After MRI test results showed a “large knee joint effusion with diffuse thickening of the synovium,” the patient underwent a knee joint aspiration, which quickly improved knee mobility.

The child, initially treated for septic arthritis, was eventually diagnosed with Lyme arthritis based on her history of tick bites.

Further testing revealed she was positive for Lyme disease by ELISA and PCR. “Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) identified Borrelia burgdorferi in the joint fluid,” the authors wrote.

The young girl made a complete recovery following 4 weeks of treatment with IV cefuroxime.

The authors point out:

  • The stages of Lyme disease can overlap. As this case demonstrates, the late stage presented without any noticeable early-stage manifestations.
  • Symptoms may not appear until months after the tick bite. “Our patient gave a history of tick bites at least a year prior to her current presentation,” the authors explain.
  • Consultations should include a thorough history, including geographical exposure to Lyme endemic regions, which can be crucial in the early recognition and diagnosis of Lyme arthritis. “The patient lived in the US for five years and her symptoms developed about a year after her return to Oman… This case indicates the need to suspect Lyme disease in patients presenting with compatible symptoms and a history of recent travel to endemic regions,” the authors wrote.

Reanalysis of mRNA Trial Data: 1 Serious Event Per 800 ‘Vaccinees’

Reanalysis of mRNA Trial Data

Dr. John Campbell

Dec. 31, 2022

  • “Rotavirus vaccine Rotashield, (1999), 1 to 2 serious events per 10,000 vaccinees, Vaccine withdrawn
  • Covid mRNA vaccines, 1 serious event per 800 vaccinees, Vaccine officially promoted

Serious adverse events of special interest following mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in randomized trials in adults  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36055…

Why We Question the Safety Profile of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines  substack article by Robert M Kaplan and Sander Greenland written all the way back in Sept.  Excerpt:

COVID-19 vaccines are now among the most widely disseminated medicines in the history of the world. They have cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars, rivaling the annual US federal expenditure on biomedical research.  There is no legitimate reason why scientists and the public should not have access to the evidence that justified that purchase. Yet evidence is being withheld, which adds uncertainty to our conclusions and leaves lingering questions about the scientific foundation for COVID-19 vaccine promotion.  Public posting of raw data is a reasonable response: “Open data” is becoming the norm in science and is now required by many leading journals.   The time has come for the FDA and EMA to reopen their investigations, and for Pfizer, Moderna and all vaccine manufacturers to provide the data that will allow scientists and physicians to address outstanding concerns.

Crickets……
Go to top link to see more text from John Campbell’s YT Video.

Despite this horrific finding, articles like this one from Wired would make you think these ineffective, toxic, dangerous injections are the next best thing since sliced bread.  Notice the emphasis the article places on “stimulating the immune system.”  These injections stimulate the immune system alright.

They stimulate them to the point that there is inflammation in every single organ and tissue in the human body.
The clot-shot madness continues….

According to “fact checkers” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus recently had a slip of the tongue with quite a hum-dinger when discussing the COVID shot on the elderly and children.  He said:

“If it’s going to be used it’s better to focus on those groups, who have risk of severe disease and death rather than as we see some countries are using to give boosters to kill children which is not right.”

Come again?

Besides the frightening implications of the last part of the statement, it also reveals something many have been shouting about from the very beginning: children, rarely, if ever suffer severe complications from COVID and shouldn’t be a part of this grand experiment.  But facts simply don’t matter in the crazy world of COVID.

Another issue completely denied earlier in the ‘pandemic’ is natural immunity.  It’s important to remember  WHO changed the definition of natural immunity from being achieved by allowing a virus to spread through a population to insisting it only comes from ‘vaccines.’ This change rewrites hundreds of years of scientific understanding.

Fauci continues to push the shots despite personally being fully “vaccinated,” contracting COVID, taking the expensive, worthless and toxic drug Paxlovid, and then getting COVID again.

Could it be any more clear that everything being offered by corrupt public health authorities and mainstream medicine is a complete and utter sham?

But even worse, Fauci has insisted everyone, despite risk, previous health condition, or recovery from infection get a needle in the arm. On his watch, heroic doctors and nurses who recovered from COVID they contracted while caring for patients, were fired.  Their superior immunity made them the perfect choice to care for the oldest and frailest patients – but they were given the boot instead.  Many others were fired or were forced to quit their jobs.  The devastation is incalculable.

But ‘the powers that be’ are beginning to realize if they don’t walk it back a bit, they will be tarred and feathered.

Even China, under strict lockdowns for 3 years, finally opened up.

Dr. Campbell explains it all in this 17 Min video:

http://

Jan. 3, 2023

But this reopening is not without problems:

  1. The Chinese are very confused about the sudden, seemingly arbitrary changes.
  2. Highly “vaccinated” they are sitting ducks for infection.  Sadly, they chose incomplete “vaccination” over natural immunity.
  3. There are 4 variants at play now in China.
  4. The true story is hard to even assess because Chinese officials recently changed the definition of a COVID death, which excludes all but those who die from respiratory failure and pneumonia directly associated with a COVID infection, a calculation method unseen elsewhere in the world.
  5. Almost half of the passengers on two flights from China that landed in Milan were found to be infected with the Wuhan virus.
  6. Go here to listen to Dr. Prasad explain that unfortunately for the U.S., the Biden administration isn’t enforcing it’s negative test before entering our borders until Jan. 5, “So, come in while the coming is good!”
    1. Prasad then reads a statement from CDC director Walensky that somehow pre-departure testing and a negative test result when flying from China to the U.S. will ‘slow the spread.’  He reminds the viewer that all of the border closings, testing requirements, and “stupid rules” stopped ZERO variants from spreading across the globe.

“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  

Prasad then explains that one of the two tests that’s allowed in this new order is a rapid antigen test, which is notorious for high rates of false negatives, which simply means you can be sick and spread COVID but test negative.

Once again Walensky’s policy is nonsensical, based on politics, and won’t help at all.  It will only inconvenience people.  Further, with a budget of billions of dollars, Prasad reminds us that during the pandemic, neither Fauci nor Walensky have done ONE randomized control study to guide their decision making. 

Is China deliberately sending infected people to other countries?

You gotta wonder….

Recently, CNN medical analyst Leana Wen did an abrupt about-face about natural immunity.  This is the woman who previously stated, “we can’t trust the unvaccinated,” and “we need to start looking at the choice to remain unvaccinated the same as we look at driving while intoxicated. … you have the option to not get vaccinated if you want, but then you can’t go out in public.” Wen was an ardent supporter of all things Covidan including “vaccine” mandates, lockdowns, and face masks, despite admitting that they have stunted her toddler’s social development.  She now admits that natural immunity is optimal and that those who are vaccinated but had not previously caught COVID-19 are more susceptible to infection.  

Both Tedros and Wen would have been censored , persecuted, and banned for stating these things a year ago when it could have made a difference.

‘The powers that be’ are frantically backpedaling & asking for amnesty now that the truth is irrefutably steamrollering out.

Patients submit all itemized statements & then our medical billing experts handle all medical billing, coding, & collection efforts from submission to follow-up.

All claims are submitted as a member reimbursement, & checks are mailed directly to the policyholder.

Why Hire Medical Bill Gurus vs Self-File?

Medical Bill Gurus has 20+ years of experience in submitting & navigating insurance claims for patients receiving treatment at cash-pay medical providers.

9 Symptoms Of Black Mold Exposure

By / 

Mold toxicity, though common, poses a severe health threat to those who are affected by the condition. Exposure to Stachybotrys chartarum, or black mold, causes many health problems throughout many bodily systems.

If mold toxicity isn’t addressed right away, problems persist and worsen. This is especially important when those with compromised immune systems are exposed to mold.

Your health could be at stake if your home has black mold. Read on to learn more about black mold and the nine symptoms of mold toxicity that you should never ignore.

What Is Black Mold?

Not all dark-colored molds are black mold, but a variety of the various types of mold are documented on record. Black mold is a greenish-black mold that is gelatinous in form because of its wet top layer. If the moisture source that encouraged its growth has dried up, the mold can appear powdery.

Black mold releases mycotoxins, which are byproducts of their metabolic processes. These mycotoxins can be dangerous to humans and cause many health problems.

Learn More – How Much Mold Is Harmful?

Black mold frequently grows in areas of the home where moisture is high and where water condenses.

These areas include:

  • In the kitchen, especially under the sink and inside cabinets
  • In the bathroom, especially in and around the shower and tub
  • In the walls where pipes make be leaky
  • Around windows and window sills
  • In fireplaces and chimneys
  • In the attic, especially near vents, the water heater, or the furnace
  • In the basement, especially around ducts, pipes, or a sump pump

These areas should be checked often and kept clean and dry. If possible, measures should be taken to reduce moisture so mold is less likely to grow in these places.  (See link for article)

_______________

SUMMARY:

Anyone can become ill due to mold but those who have allergies, asthma, or suppressed immune systems can be more severely affected.

  1. Sneezing, a runny or blocked nose can be warning signs that you have a mold problem.
  2. Mold causes headaches and migraines.
  3. Having a dry, sore, or irritated throat can also be a sign of mold.
  4. Wheezing is a common sign of mold.
  5. Coughing & shortness of breath can be a sign of mold.
  6. Having watery or irritated eyes can be a sign of mold.
  7. Nausea and vomiting can occur with mold allergies.
  8. Eczema, rashes, hives, itchy, scaly red skin – can all be allergic reactions to mold.
  9. Itchy eyes, nose, and throat can be a reaction to mold.
