Flea Collars Linked to Thousands of Pet Deaths and Injuries to Pets AND Humans — EPA Still Won’t Warn Public

MARCH 3, 2021

By B.N. Frank

If we can’t depend on the EPA to warn the public about something so thoroughly documented, should we depend on the agency to warn the public about anything at all?

From USA Today:

Popular flea collar linked to almost 1,700 pet deaths. The EPA has issued no warning.

Rhonda Bomwell had never used a flea and tick collar before. Pierre, her 9-year-old Papillon service dog, was mostly an indoor animal.

Still, her veterinarian recommended she purchase one, so Bomwell went to the pet store near her home in Somerset, New Jersey, and selected Bayer’s Seresto collar.

A day later, on June 2, 2020, Pierre had a seizure, collapsing while Bomwell was making dinner. Lying on his back, the dog stopped breathing and his eyes rolled back. (See link for article)

This collar will tighten on its own but not loosen – so if your dog pulls against it there is the potential for strangulation, which has occurred.

After the Seresto Tick and Flea collar was put on, Billy the cat started began sleeping, stumbling around and wouldn’t use his litter box.  After removing the collar the symptoms went away.  When putting it back on, within 30 minutes he became lethargic and stumbled around again.

Steve Lehto reads the USA Today article on how the Seresto tick and flea collar has killed nearly 1,700 pets.  He also states you should call the EPA if you suspect your pet’s death is due to a flea collar.

Veterinarian Dr. Andrew Jones talks about flea and tick product side effects.  He also gives his receipe for a “natural” flea and tick spray for dogs here.  (He uses witch hazel, aloe vera juice, and essential oils)

Our own dog’s health spiraled down after we put a tick collar on him.  Despite our vet’s assurance it wasn’t due to the collar, I’ve always been unsettled by it.  The article in this post reignited my concerns about products that are supposed to be “safe and effective.”  Listen to your gut.

Emails Show Fauci, NIH, WHO Accommodated China on COVID Confidentiality ‘Terms’

Emails show Fauci, NIH, WHO accommodated China on covid confidentiality ‘terms’

By on

FPI / March 1, 2021

By Judicial Watch

Judicial Watch announced that it and the Daily Caller News Foundation received 301 pages of emails of Dr. Anthony Fauci from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services showing that National Institutes of Health (NIH) officials tailored confidentiality forms to China’s terms and that the World Health Organization (WHO) conducted an unreleased, “strictly confidential” Covid-19 epidemiological analysis in January 2020.

“These new emails show the WHO and Fauci’s NIH special accommodations to Chinese communist efforts to control information about Covid-19,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

The emails, obtained by Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, “set the tone early on in the coronavirus outbreak. It’s clear that the WHO allowed China to control the information flow from the start. True transparency is crucial,” said Ethan Barton, editor-in chief for the Daily Caller News Foundation.  (See link for article)

Important excerpt:

A WHO briefing package sent on February 13, 2020, to NIH officials traveling to China as part of the coronavirus response ask that the officials wait to share information until they have an agreement with China: “IMPORTANT: Please treat this as sensitive and not for public communications until we have agreed communications with China.”

Yolanda Hadid on Her Battle With Lyme Disease: ‘Being in Remission Is an Everyday Blessing’

Yolanda Hadid on Her Battle with Lyme Disease: ‘Being in Remission Is an Everyday Blessing’

“I’m better than I’ve been in a long time,” Yolanda Hadid tells PEOPLE
By Charlotte Triggs and Maria Pasquini

March 02, 2021 10:00 AM

“But as I’ve learned, there is no cure for chronic Lyme disease,” Hadid, 57, adds of the tick-borne infection, which her children Bella and Anwar have as well.  “Being in remission is an everyday blessing, and I pinch myself every morning.”

As Hadid moves into her “next chapter,” she’s putting an emphasis on her emotional wellbeing, which has a big impact on her health.  (See link for article)

For some reason “cycling” is a well-kept secret – but shouldn’t be.  Since Lyme is a relapsing illness in nature, it only makes sense logically that people are going to have relapses after going off treatment.  While alarming when it happens, remind yourself that is pretty normal based on the organism and decades of patient experience.  If you haven’t seen Dr. Burrascano’s video on this, please do, it will calm your fears and show you there’s actually a treatment methodology utilizing this fact called “cycling”:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/12/28/the-history-of-lyme-disease-dr-burrascano/

Could Cytokine Storms Lead to Brain Fog in Lyme Disease Patients?

https://danielcameronmd.com/cytokine-brain-fog-lyme-disease/

COULD CYTOKINE STORMS LEAD TO BRAIN FOG IN LYME DISEASE PATIENTS?

brain-fog-lyme-disease

Lyme disease and COVID-19 patients often complain of having ‘brain fog.’ In a recent study, Remsik and colleagues suggest that brain fog reported by COVID-19 patients may be due to cytokines rather than an infection with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

By

In their article, published in the journal Cancer Cell,¹ the authors explain, “One of the dozens of unusual symptoms that have emerged in COVID-19 patients is a condition that’s informally called ‘COVID brain’ or ‘brain fog.’ It’s characterized by confusion, headaches, and loss of short-term memory. In severe cases, it can lead to psychosis and even seizures.”

The authors expected to find evidence of COVID-19 infection in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) of 13 patients hospitalized with COVID-19. They did not.

Instead, Remsik and colleagues found an elevation of cytokines in the spinal fluid of their COVID-19 patients with brain fog. According to the authors, “These patients had persistent inflammation and high levels of cytokines in their cerebrospinal fluid, which explained the symptoms they were having.”

“These increased CSF cytokines are likely the result of both increased blood barrier permeability and local production by cells in the CNS,” the authors write.

Investigators have previously raised concerns that Lyme disease spirochetes could cross the blood-brain barrier leading to brain fog. In his article, Dr. Robert Bransfield raised concerns that persisting immune activation causes a cytokine storm in patients with chronic Lyme disease.²

Remsik et al. add support to the role of cytokines in patients with brain fog, leading to the question: Are cytokine storms associated with brain fog in Lyme disease patients?
