Charting a path towards new treatments for chronic Lyme disease

Last year, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) convened a committee of experts to review the research on chronic Lyme disease and figure out what it would take to develop better treatments.

Now, that committee has completed its report, entitled Charting a Path Toward New Treatments for Lyme Infection-Associated Chronic Illnesses.

I haven’t read this sucker yet – it’s 253 pages, but I’ve become so jaded with research for tick-borne illness that I’m dreading it already.

Until we start OVER, and I mean from square one, research is all tainted and based on false premises.  Don’t believe me?  Listen to Willy himself:

Foreign Gain-of-Function Research Banned? Nope – It’s Expanding

According to attorney Tom Renz, the scuttle that dangerous ‘gain of function’ research was recently banned due to an Executive Order, is false.  Rather, it’s codified and allowed under new regulation.  It’s all good if you are compliant with current regulation.

“Gain of Function” has now been legitimized and sanctioned.  Far from being banned.

It’s all there in purple crayon amongst the legalese in the document, “Improving the Safety and Security of Biological Research.” 

So keep this in mind when you read:

BREAKING: Trump Bans Foreign Gain-of-Function Research — U.S. Experiments Paused

The executive order halts federal funding for dangerous virus experiments overseas and temporarily suspends high-risk U.S. research involving infectious pathogens and toxins.

Article Excerpts:

President Donald Trump signed an executive order today titled, IMPROVING THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH, halting all federal funding for dangerous gain-of-function research in China, Iran, and other countries lacking adequate oversight. The order also suspends federally funded research involving infectious pathogens and toxins within the United States until a new, enforceable oversight policy is developed.

For the first time, the U.S. government is directing agencies to track and regulate high-risk bioengineering activities outside federal funding channels — a move that could close major loopholes exploited in past pandemic-related experiments.  (See link for article and video)

Warning: graphic photos in Dr. Kory’s illuminating article.

Thankfully, the silver lining of COVID woke many up to the relentless corruption and fraud in our own government, in medicine, in research, etc. So many humble, cheap, effective remedies have been purposely maligned and banned from the public due to greed and conflicts of interest.

One of these remedies is CDS – which some call MMS – or chlorine dioxide.

Graphene Oxide Found in All Three Dental Anesthetics Tested – What Now?

Graphene oxide found in all three dental anesthetics tested for. What now?

DAMS news update on May 6, 2025 By Leo Cashman, DAMS Inc.

Last week we reported on the results of testing of Carbocaine, a local anesthetic widely used in dentistry. The report came from the University of Colorado Micro Raman Spectroscopy testing lab. All five of the samples tested showed the D and G bands indicative of graphene oxide and the results bore great similarity to the results from the earlier testing of Septocaine, another local anesthetic made by the same company, Novocol Pharmaceuticals, of Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. Novocol is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of dental and its products hold a dominant position in the North American market.

The graphene oxide was identified in black particles found within the sample, objects that are not supposed to be found in the clear liquid product. It is not labeled an ingredient in the product the company does not acknowledge that it is in its products.

A different lab, Medical Genomics, tested samples of Carbocaine for other contaminants: bacteria, yeast, and mold and none of those contaminants were found. Further, the SV40 virus and the spike protein were not found and the lab declared “Carbocaine samples are clean of vaccine DNA.”

Why is the presence of graphene oxide a concern?

Independent research report that graphene oxide particles found in human blood is able to self-assemble into “nano-bots,” also called “nano-robots,” that can act like synthetic parasites, that are not alive but that can multiply, impact a person’s health and also act like little antennas that can communicate with antennas that are outside of the body. The presence of such nano-bots is a violation of a person’s individual privacy and tends to undermine personal autonomy and freedom. Such an arrangement is something that we might expect in a totalitarian society and not in a well functioning democracy. Further, in a well functioning democracy, the responsible regulatory agency, the FDA, would be monitoring these products for such contaminants and not allow their sale. Major media would also step in to alert the public about the issue and exert pressure to bring a halt to the problem.

What other sources of graphene oxide (GO) are some people being exposed to?

One of the best known writer-researchers in this area, Dr. Ana Mihalcea, MD, PhD, reports having identified hydrogel and nanobot contaminants in a variety of medications, Dexamethasone, Benadryl, Omnitrope somatropin, a growth hormone given to young adults, Lentus Insulin, widely used by adults with type 2 diabetes, and Pfizer’s Embrel, a product that is used by people with auto immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Other pathways of exposure are said to be foods we eat (think: a dark cola drink) and also the air we breathe after aerosol spraying by airplanes in the sky (aka “chemtrails). So even persons who eat natural, organic food, avoid covid shots and other vaccines, and drink only pure, non-fluoridated water, may be hard pressed to remain free and clear of the presence of graphene oxide and other materials that would contribute to the self-assembly of nanobots and hydrogels.

Are there any local anesthetics that we know are safe? What do biological dentists prefer to use?

The reasonable conclusion at this point is that there are no local anesthetics that are free of graphene oxide (GO) and there are two reasons for concluding this. 1) All three of the anesthetics tested so far have been found to have GO, 2) Novocol makes the other ones commonly used in North America, and so there is no assurance that any of there other products would be free of it, and 3) Dr. Mihalcea and other researchers have such problem in the blood after use of Lidocaine, a dental anesthetic that we have not directly tested yet for GO. Her research results are summarized in her book Transhuman, (Volume II) Overcoming the Global Depopulation Agenda.

What alternatives do we have to using a local anesthetic in dentistry?

For routine dental work such as fillings and even for inlays, onlays and crowns, some dentists will try to get through the dental work without using a local anesthetic at all. The dentist will say, for example, “we’ll try to get through this without a local anesthetic; if it becomes too painful, raise your right hand and I’ll stop and administer a local anesthetic.” With that kind of assurance, the patient puts herself in a positive, peaceful frame of mind and often gets through it without need to use an anesthetic. This can even work for children.

Other steps that can reduce dental pain, generally, are the homeopathic remedy Arnica montana (high potency) and vitamin B1 (thiamine). Acupuncture is also effective, but bringing in an acupuncturist to perform that treatment makes it an uncommon approach. Use of a general anesthetic is not an very desirable alternative because it is very invasive, carries some risk, and the use of fluoride in most of the general anesthetics raises some concern about toxic fluoride residues.

What can a person do to inhibit the self-assembly of GO into nanobots? Or to get rid of them if they have already formed?

In Chapter 4 of Dr. Mihalcea’s book, Treatment Solutions, she suggests a variety of tactics. Eliminate and detoxify from toxic metals such as iron, aluminum, mercury, cadmium by eliminating sources of them and doing a safe, gentle detox program. Dr. Mihalcea suggests use of intravenous EDTA and intravenous vitamin C but, while EDTA good for removal of lead and aluminum, EDTA is not a good chelator of mercury and many of the other toxic metals and there is some research that suggests that EDTA is not a very safe chelator for mercury. However, EDTA may be useful for smashing the nano-bots found in the blood after the self-assembly has occurred. Another agent worthy of mention is Methylene Blue, and it, too, would normally be administered under a doctor’s care.

Maria Crisler, another widely known researcher and writer, working in collaboration with Dr Edward Group, has helped develop detox products that can address the common products. The choice and use of their products is beyond the discussion in this article, but the reader may find more product ideas at Abeytu Naturals, AbeytuNaturals.com which has products developed by Maria Crisler. Another company, somewhat larger, is Global Healing, GlobalHealhing.com headed by Dr Edward Group, DC.

In terms of preventing of self-assembly, the advice is to avoid un-natural EMFs as from cell phones, cordless phones and Wi-Fi, alcohol consumption, and also avoid use of zeolite as a detox product (zeolite contains aluminum, which fuels the self-assembly of the nano-bots).

This subject area will see much continuing research, and we will do out best to share the new information as it comes out. Feel free to share this article with others, including your biological dentist and your holistic health care practitioners.

Back Pain Mystery Solved – It Was Lyme Disease

https://danielcameronmd.com/back-pain-lyme-disease/

Back Pain Mystery Solved… It Was Lyme Disease

4/8/25

Back pain is one of the most common complaints in medicine. For most people, it’s caused by something mechanical—disc degeneration, a pinched nerve, or muscle strain. But sometimes, the cause isn’t physical at all. I had a patient whose back pain defied every explanation—until we found an answer where no one had thought to look: Lyme disease.

Surgery and Rehab: A Promising Start

My patient had a long history of lower back pain. After struggling with it for years, he underwent back surgery and engaged in a dedicated course of physical therapy. For the first time in years, he was pain-free. He felt like he had his life back. He returned to daily activities, enjoyed time with his family, and was finally free from the constant burden of discomfort.

The Pain Returns—Worse Than Before

Months later, his pain came back.

But this time, it was different. It was severe, deep, and unrelenting. He hadn’t lifted anything heavy. There was no trauma. His physical therapy routine had remained consistent. Yet the pain—centered in his lower back—grew worse by the week.

He returned to his neurosurgeon. Imaging showed no new issues—no disc herniation, no surgical complications, nothing to explain the pain.

A 9-Month Search for Answers

He was referred to pain management. Tried anti-inflammatories. Tried physical therapy again. Tried trigger point injections. Nothing helped. The pain was taking a toll—physically, emotionally, and socially. He couldn’t sleep well. He avoided movement for fear of worsening his pain.

For nine months, every path led to a dead end.

No Tick Bite. No Rash. But Something Was Off

What made this case even more puzzling was the absence of any red flags we usually look for with infections. There was no tick bite, no erythema migrans rash, and no fevers. Lyme disease wasn’t even on the radar.

But other symptoms began to appear—fatigue, low mood, brain fog, and a growing sensitivity to heat and cold. It no longer seemed like just a spine problem.

A Broader Workup—and a Surprising Diagnosis

Because his symptoms were no longer isolated to his back, we broadened the differential diagnosis. We tested for autoimmune conditions, neurologic disorders, and chronic infections.

That’s when a Lyme disease test came back positive—specifically, multiple IgG Western blot bands consistent with a late-stage infection.

The pieces started to fall into place.

How Lyme Disease Can Cause Back Pain

Lyme disease is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria. While many associate Lyme with joint pain or flu-like symptoms, it can also cause inflammation of nerve roots—a condition known as radiculitis—which can feel exactly like sciatica or disc-related back pain.

In some patients, Lyme disease affects the central nervous system and causes neuropathic pain that does not respond to typical treatments like surgery or anti-inflammatories. And in late-stage Lyme, patients often do not recall any early signs of infection. Studies estimate that 30% or more of patients with Lyme disease never see the tick or develop a rash.

Treatment—and Recovery

Once diagnosed, my patient began antibiotic treatment tailored to neurological Lyme disease. Within a few weeks, his pain began to improve. Slowly but surely, the deep, burning back pain that had plagued him for nearly a year began to fade. So did the fatigue, brain fog, and other symptoms.

Within a few months, he was functioning well again—and back to enjoying his life.

What This Case Teaches Us

This case highlights something crucial: Lyme disease doesn’t always follow the rules.

  • You don’t need to have joint swelling or fever.
  • You don’t need a textbook presentation for it to be real.
  • When conventional explanations fall short, it’s time to think more broadly.

Five key takeaways:

  1. Chronic back pain may have non-mechanical causes.
    Not all back pain stems from disc problems or muscle strain. Sometimes the root cause is something unexpected—like a persistent infection such as Lyme disease.
  2. A normal MRI doesn’t rule out a serious problem.
    Imaging can appear normal even when significant symptoms are present. Lyme-related nerve inflammation may not be visible on routine scans.
  3. Failed back surgery syndrome may not always be surgical failure.
    When pain returns after a successful procedure, it may not be the spine at fault. An undiagnosed infection or inflammatory process could be the real culprit.
  4. Pain that doesn’t respond to standard treatment deserves further    investigation.
    If physical therapy, injections, and medications fail, it’s time to look beyond conventional explanations and consider underlying systemic causes.
  5. Lyme disease can cause neuropathic and radicular pain.
    Lyme disease can inflame nerve roots, creating symptoms that mimic sciatica or spinal disorders—without any visible structural damage.

When to Suspect Lyme Disease in Back Pain

Consider Lyme disease in patients with unexplained back pain when:

  • Imaging doesn’t match the severity of the symptoms
  • Pain worsens despite appropriate treatment
  • There are neurologic symptoms (numbness, tingling, burning pain)
  • Fatigue, brain fog, or mood changes are also present
  • The patient lives in or has visited a tick-endemic area (Northeast, Midwest, or Pacific Northwest)

Final Thoughts: Look Deeper When Pain Persists

Lyme disease can mimic many conditions. This patient’s story reminds us that when the usual explanations fall short, we must keep asking questions and consider less obvious diagnoses.

Back pain is common. But if it’s unresponsive to treatment and comes with a set of symptoms that don’t quite add up, look deeper.

Because sometimes, it’s not the spine—it’s the infection you didn’t know was there.
