Excerpt:

Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA) is a late and chronic manifestation of Lyme borreliosis (LB). ACA predominantly involves the distal portions of extremities and is characterized by chronic cutaneous atrophy. Unlike other skin manifestations of Lyme disease, including erythema migrans (EM) and borrelial lymphocytoma (BL), ACA does not spontaneously resolve. If untreated, ACA may progress from bluish-red discoloration and inflammation to chronic atrophy and fibrosis, with the late-stage being more treatment-resistant.

ACA was first described in 1883 by Buchwald in Germany, and cases were later reported in 1895 in North America. The diagnosis of ACA is based on clinical presentation, as well as serologic testing and histopathologic confirmation. Recognizing ACA is often challenging due to variable latency in disease onset following the primary borrelial infection, and lack of symptoms leading to delay in seeking treatment.

Lyme borreliosis is the most common vector-borne disease in the northeastern United States. It is a multisystem disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi.It is transmitted to humans via an Ixodes tick bite. There are 3 skin manifestations of LB: Erythema migrans (stage 1) with a characteristic “bull’s eye rash,” which, if untreated, can be followed by early disseminated infection, borrelial lymphocytoma (stage 2) along with neurologic and cardiac abnormalities, and late infection, especially arthritis in North America or acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (stage 3) in Europe. Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans is the most common late and chronic manifestation of LB. Approximately 20% of patients with ACA have a history of spontaneously healed EM, usually on an extremity where the ACA lesion developed 6 months to 8 years later.

**Comment**

While ‘the powers that be’ continue to want to confine this complex illness within numerical stages and a “one size fits all” box, please know that patients have jumped from stage to stage in no particular order, with some requiring much longer courses of antibiotics/treatments.

Zero-COVID Failed. CCP Elites Dying As China Buys Up Paxlovid

Dec. 23, 2022

CNBC

China is beginning to lift its more stringent Covid-19 restrictions after nearly three years in isolation. But what could mark the end of its zero-Covid policy may be just the beginning of the country’s pandemic problems.

“I think in the next couple of weeks, China will be faced with unprecedented pressure to the health system,” Xi Chen, an associate professor at the Yale School Of Public Health, told CNBC in an interview.

China’s health system and crematoriums are overwhelmed as death toll rises among CCP elites; however, just as they did in the early days of the pandemic, officials have made it a challenge to assess the true story. By the regime’s account, only eight people have died from the disease since its lifting of COVID curbs in early December, but this figure is based on the their recently narrowed 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.

The numbers depart sharply from a leaked memo from a recent high-level meeting of health officials, which estimated that 248 million people likely contracted the virus in the first 20 days of December.

The CDC, or junior CCP, also employs definition and data manipulation to push its agenda, and is one of the worst purveyors of “mis” and “dis” information on the planet.

After hiding the coronavirus outbreak and giving the world a pandemic, China has fooled the world with bogus vaccines. Made-in-China vaccines do not work and Beijing seems to be finally admitting it.

The Chinese people can now buy Pfizer’s Paxlovid online.  It sold out within the hour and people are hoarding it.

  • Nicaragua was required to cut off diplomatic ties with Taiwan to get the COVID mRNA gene-therapy injection from China
  • A similar medical blackmail offer was made to Paraguay, which was refused
  • A leaked Pfizer indemnification agreement back in Aug. 2021 showed that countries had to put up sovereign assets, bank reserves, military bases, and embassy buildings as collateral for expected injuries and lawsuits
  • Pfizer also admitted they had ZERO idea about safety and efficacy
  • It recently was splashed on headlines that they weren’t even tested for transmission, which was also known long ago for those looking and listening as it was in the trial data
  • Paxlovid which is under EUA and is based upon a single trial with questionable results is also a fraud which cost taxpayers $10.6 BILLION and needs to be pulled from the market as it:

Deaths Among CCP Elites Rise as COVID-19 Wave Hits China

By Eva Fu
December 22, 2022 Updated: December 23, 2022

It started with a high fever, a telltale sign of COVID-19, that soon led to a positive test result. Yang Lianghua, formerly a senior reporter for the Chinese communist regime’s official mouthpiece People’s Daily and the chief editor of the newspaper’s international edition, then had to wait in the emergency room for a bed in Beijing’s top hospital, which was already beyond packed.

With intervention from the state media’s senior executives and the hospital director, Yang was eventually admitted to the intensive care unit, where he died hours later. The cause of his death was a bacterial lung infection.

Yang was one of a long list of prominent figures tied to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) who died amid a surge in Omicron sweeping China, after the regime abruptly loosened its years-long draconian COVID-19 restrictions that had shuttered businesses, crippled China’s economy, and made it a challenge for the Chinese population to sustain their basic lives.

The abrupt U-turn in direction, however, was made without the provision of resources and policies to help the populace deal with the mounting cases of infections.

Important quote:

“Maybe you think it isn’t a big deal, but the CCP is a crime syndicate,” he told The Epoch Times, adding that the recent uptick in cases should make people reconsider their ties with the regime. “Tying one’s life with the fate of the Party will not bring you any good.” ~ Heng He, China affairs analyst

Please note: Almost none of the obituaries listed the cause of death.

Despite the surge in cases and deaths, Chinese authorities refuse to accept Western aid, which admittedly isn’t very helpful as the aid simply consists of more “vaccines,” which have been proven to be ineffective, despite the continued WHO propaganda:

Abstract

Background: The COVID-19 period highlights a huge problem that has been developing for decades, the control of science by industry. In the 1950s, the tobacco industry set the example, which the pharmaceutical industry followed. Since then, the latter has been regularly condemned for illegal marketing, misrepresentation of experimental results, dissimulation of information about the dangers of drugs, and considered as criminal. Therefore, this study was conducted to show that knowledge is powerfully manipulated by harmful corporations, whose goals are: 1/financial; 2/to suppress our ability to make choices to acquire global control of public health.

Methods: Pharmaceutical industry techniques for manipulating science and COVID-19 reporting were reviewed. Several sources of official documents were used: PubMed; National Institutes of Health resources; pharmaceutical companies; policy documents; national newspapers and news agencies; and books by prominent professionals (scientific and legal). A few studies have not been published in peer-reviewed journals; however, they have been conducted by reputable scientists in their respective fields.

Results: Since the beginning of COVID-19, we can list the following methods of information manipulation which have been used:

  • falsified clinical trials and inaccessible data
  • fake or conflict-of-interest studies
  • concealment of vaccines’ short-term side effects and total lack of knowledge of the long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccination
  • doubtful composition of vaccines
  • inadequate testing methods
  • governments and international organizations under conflicts of interest
  • bribed physicians
  • the denigration of renowned scientists; the banning of all alternative effective treatments; unscientific and liberticidal social methods
  • government use of behavior modification and social engineering techniques to impose confinements, masks, and vaccine acceptance
  • scientific censorship by the media

Conclusion: By supporting and selecting only the one side of science information while suppressing alternative viewpoints, and with obvious conflicts of interest revealed by this study, governments and the media constantly disinform the public. Consequently, the unscientifically validated vaccination laws, originating from industry-controlled medical science, led to the adoption of social measures for the supposed protection of the public but which became serious threats to the health and freedoms of the population.

Is MS an Infectious Disease?

The following link contains a collection of research on MS and infections including fungus, Lyme, parasites, and viruses.  Highly recommend.  The website is Pam Bartha’s who’s life was turned upside down at the age of 28 when she was diagnosed with MS.  She lost vision in one eye, was weak and had tingling in her legs, insomnia, and severe fatigue and headaches.  She was told by doctors there was nothing she could do but wait around and become disabled.  Her mother in law gave her a book that set her on a healing journey that continues today.  The book was “The Yeast Connection” by Dr. Crook.  In it he shared that he believed many diseases are actually caused by infections, especially the GI tract.  This doctor observed that when he treated the infections, his patients recovered. Go here to read Pam’s story as there are golden nuggets for all within and great recommendations.

Pam is a wellness researcher, educator and coach with a BS who is a certified teacher.  She offers a free consultation and personalized training on how to get your health back.  (I have no affiliation with this program and receive no monies)

Multiple Sclerosis Infection – Is MS an Infectious Disease?

The following is an excerpt from Pam’s website.  Go to link for entire article

Multiple Sclerosis and Infection

Could Multiple Sclerosis be caused by infection? These studies and articles offer compelling evidence. Contact Us for more information.

1. Commensal microbiota and myelin autoantigen cooperate to trigger autoimmune demyelination.
Nature. 2011; 479(7374): 538-41. DOI: 10.1038/nature10554.

This study shows that microbes that live in the body (in particular the GI tract) are an essential factor in triggering the autoimmune response in MS and other diseases.

“Active multiple sclerosis lesions show inflammatory changes suggestive of a combined attack by autoreactive T and B lymphocytes against brain white matter. … The stimuli triggering this autoimmune conversion have been commonly attributed to environmental factors, in particular microbial infection. … We show that the commensal gut flora… is essential in triggering immune processes, leading to a relapsing-remitting autoimmune disease…“

2. Role of pathogens in multiple sclerosis.
International Reviews of Immunology. 2014; 33(4): 266-83. DOI: 10.3109/08830185.2013.823422.

This study states that “infectious pathogens (disease causing microbes) are the likely environmental factors involved in the development of MS.” It also identifies various microbes that are involved in the development of Multiple Sclerosis infection, which include various bacteria, parasites and viruses.

“Although the etiology of MS is unknown, genetic and environmental factors play a role. Infectious pathogens are the likely environmental factors involved in the development ofMultiple Sclerosis infection. Pathogens associated with the development or exacerbation of MS include bacteria, such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae, the Staphylococcus aureus-produced enterotoxins that function as superantigens, viruses of the herpes virus (Epstein-Barr virus and human herpesvirus 6) and human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) families and the protozoa Acanthamoeba castellanii. Evidence, from studies with humans and animal models, supporting the association of these various pathogens with the development and/or exacerbation of MS will be discussed along with the potential mechanisms including molecular mimicry, epitope spreading and bystander activation. In contrast, infection with certain parasites such as helminthes (Schistosoma mansoni, Fasciola hepatica, Hymenolepis nana, Trichuris trichiura, Ascaris lumbricoides, Strongyloides stercolaris, Enterobius vermicularis) appears to protect against the development or exacerbation of MS… A complex interaction between the CNS (including the blood-brain barrier), multiple infections with various infectious agents (occurring in the periphery or within the CNS), and the immune response to those various infections may have to be deciphered before the etiology of MS can be fully understood.”

MS is another label that needs a better definition.  Since so many things can cause/exacerbate it, it’s a highly individual issue that needs to be approached as such.  There is no four-cornered box with this beast and you must be willing to go down many rabbit-holes to find answers.  This is a journey, not a destination.  There may be many issues that must be addressed in order to achieve health – just like with Lyme/MSIDS.
