Lyme Questions Answered and Mighty Methylene Blue

https://mailchi.mp/3e52484072a9/4i7vbuaut5-4797205

Conversations with Marty Ross MD: 1/9/25

Good Morning,

I enjoyed answering your questions on Wednesday night.

We discussed:

  1. Introduction and Webinar Format. Dr. Marty Ross explained the structure of his Lyme disease webinar, outlining guidelines for participation, including the use of the chat box for submitting questions, and detailed plans to provide session recordings and summaries.
  2. Addressing Sleep Jerks and Neurological Symptoms. Severe sleep jerks occurring when falling asleep were attributed to neurological irritation caused by infections like Bartonella, Borrelia, or mold toxicity, and potential remedies including curcumin, glutathione, and GABA-boosting supplements were discussed.
  3. Managing Nervous System Agitation. Strategies to calm the nervous system included treating infections, detoxifying mold, using anti-inflammatory supplements like curcumin and glutathione, and calming nerves directly via GABA enhancers such as L-theanine.
  4. Ozone and IV Vitamin C may Cause Nerve Damage. The use of oxidizing agents like IV vitamin C and UV ozone can worsen oxidation injury in tick-borne infection patients, with Dr. Ross warning against their potential nerve-damaging effects.
  5. Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. While hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may aid in neurological healing and support mitochondria, it is often ineffective for directly killing infections based on clinical experiences.
  6. Exploring White Blood Cell Counts in Tick-Borne Infections. Chronic infections like Borrelia, Bartonella, or Babesia often cause reduced neutrophil counts, which may normalize over time with effective treatment.
  7. Pregnancy Considerations and Tick-Borne Disease Testing. Pregnancy planning was addressed with recommendations for comprehensive infection testing, symptom-tracking, and considerations for treatment strategies that align with maternal and fetal health.
  8. Re-testing for Infections to See Where Your Are Is Not Accurate. Retesting for tick-borne infections was deemed unreliable as antibodies can fluctuate; instead, tracking symptoms was suggested as a better measure of disease progression.
  9. Indirect vs Direct Testing for Borrelia. Dr. Ross explained the differences in sensitivity between indirect (antibody-based) and direct (PCR or culture) testing methods, emphasizing the limitations of direct tests in chronic infections.
  10. Babesia Treatment Length before Pregnancy. Recommendations for treating Babesia included maintaining a five-month treatment course, balanced with probiotics and potential yeast management, to optimize health before pregnancy.
  11. Addressing Gastrointestinal Symptoms during Treatment. GI symptoms during antimicrobial treatment were linked to gut flora disturbance and potential yeast overgrowth, calling for probiotics and antifungal options like Nystatin or CapriPlus.
  12. Management of Cytokines and Herx Reactions. Elevated cytokines causing inflammation and herx reactions were addressed with anti-inflammatory interventions, including quercetin or curcumin, and glutathione supplementation.
  13. Best Ways to Lower Cytokines and to Control Herx. Suggestions to lessen herx reactions included increasing glutathione levels and using quercetin for both anti-inflammatory and mast cell-stabilizing effects.
  14. Meaning of a Single White Brain Lesion on MRI. A single white lesion on MRI is typically attributed to aging or limited blood flow rather than Lyme disease, which usually exhibits diffuse demyelination patterns.
  15. You Don’t Have to Herx to Make Progress. Not all patients experience herx reactions during treatment, yet progress is still possible, particularly as the germ load decreases over time.
  16. Methylene Blue and Its Uses. Methylene blue was recognized as a therapy for both Borrelia and Bartonella due to its efficacy against persister cells, as well as for its FDA-approved use in addressing methemoglobinemia. Go here for a sound warning of methylene blue, which is a man-made monoamine oxidase inhibitor.  Animal and human studies have shown that when monoamine neurotransmitters are over-activated it eventually makes those taking it subdued, apathetic and disengaged from their own feelings, those around them, and life itself.
  17. Methylene Blue for Improved Thinking and Mitochondria Function. Beyond pathogen-killing properties, methylene blue improves mitochondrial function, aids ATP production, and has shown promise for reducing brain fog and increasing energy.
  18. Potential Risks and Side Effects of Methylene Blue. Risks of methylene blue include bladder irritation, intestinal discomfort, and staining issues, though real-world human risks are minimal when dosed properly.
  19. Mitochondrial Function and Repair. Recommendations for repairing mitochondrial damage included supplements like glutathione and ATP 360 to enhance cellular energy production.
  20. Exploring Histamine Reactions. Unusual reactions like hives or hyperactive histamine levels during treatment were linked to mast cell activation, which can be managed with stabilizers and antihistamines.
  21. Taking Enzymes and EDTA. Potential interactions between enzymes and EDTA supplements were addressed, with Dr. Ross advising additional research to confirm compatibility.
  22. Impact of Biocidin on Direct Testing Results. Biocidin, containing antimicrobial ingredients like oregano oil and garlic, may reduce the accuracy of direct tests like PCR by lowering pathogen levels in the blood.
  23. Causes of Visual Issues. Neuropathic visual challenges like light sensitivity and convergence insufficiency were discussed as possible symptoms of Bartonella, Borrelia, or mold toxicity.
  24. Causes of Air Hunger. Air hunger, frequently caused by Babesia or Bartonella, results from disrupted oxygen delivery due to inflamed red blood cells or reduced red blood cell quantity.
  25. Muscle Contractions and Spasms. Severe muscle spasms were linked to magnesium deficiency or neurological irritation, with treatment approaches including supplements and anti-inflammatory support.
  26. Thoughts on Steps if You Are Not Getting Better. Persistent illness despite treatment prompted considerations for comprehensive reviews of treatment history and potential alternative strategies like addressing limbic system dysregulation.
  27. Role of Limbic System Retraining for Chronic Symptoms. Limbic system retraining methods such as dynamic neural retraining (DNRS) were recommended for addressing chronic illness patterns after addressing active infections.
  28. Senescent Cells may Cause Ongoing Inflammation and Chronic Symptoms. Cell senescence caused by infections may perpetuate inflammation, with solutions including senolytics, fasting mimicking diets, and autophagy-promoting supplements.
  29. Timing of Limbic System Retraining and Physical Medicine. Brain retraining exercises and somatic therapies are best initiated after active infections are controlled to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
  30. Evaluating ZenMen for Bartonella. The herbal formula ZenMen showed promise in addressing Bartonella but lacked sufficient evidence on effectiveness or ingredient concentrations for strong recommendations.
  31. Role of Ketotifen for Mast Cell Activation. Ketotifen was highlighted as an effective option for calming histamine-driven nervous system agitation by blocking histamines and stabilizing mast cells

*Comment*

I’ve never heard of ozone and IV C causing nerve damage.  Ever.  My LLMD uses this as a mainstay in treatment and would never use them if they in fact caused nerve damage. Of course the toxin is always in the dose.

Look What They Did to Our Antibodies: Vaxxed are Sicker – Predicted Population Collapse

https://worldcouncilforhealth.substack.com/p/look-what-they-did-to-our-antibodies?

Look what they did to our antibodies

Our immune systems are supposed to fight viruses. Now they invite them round for tea. It’s all down to IgG4…

Have you heard about the IgG4 antibody switch? It’s been glossed over in official discussions about Covid-19 ‘vaccines’, but it’s the elephant in the room. Let’s break it down and explore why this may matter more than we’re being told.

The antibody switch: what’s the big deal?

Our immune system is like a well-trained army, with different types of antibodies serving as its soldiers. Among them, IgG antibodies are the frontline warriors, designed to neutralize viruses and protect us from infections. But here’s the catch: not all IgG antibodies are created equal. Think of IgG4 antibodies as the peacekeepers of the immune system. They’re not fighters like the other IgG subclasses—they’re more about tolerance, calming things down. They’re certainly not about launching an attack.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting (and worrying).

Studies have shown that repeated Covid-19 mRNA injections—especially after the second dose or booster—cause the body to switch from producing the more effective IgG3 antibodies to producing IgG4. Essentially, the immune system is shifting toward tolerance rather than attack.

Sounds harmless, right? Well, not so fast. Here’s a look at what this shift might mean:

  1. More COVID, less immunity
  2. Potentially worse outcomes
  3. risk for other conditions
  4. Pathologies associated with high igG4 levels & igG4-related disease including:
    1. repeated infections
    2. autoimmune disease
    3. cancer risk
    4. idiopathic interstitial lung disease
    5. systemic vasculitis

REPORT: A New Peer-Reviewed Study Finds COVID-Vaccinated People Are SICKER Than Their Unvaccinated Counterparts

“Safe and effective.”

Source: RogerHodkinson

The study, based on a survey of over 1,000 people in Germany, found:

  • 42% of vaccinated individuals needed a doctor’s visit, compared to just 30% of the unvaccinated.
  • 30% of vaccinated respondents caught COVID-19, while only 23% of unvaccinated people did.
  • 21% of vaccinated individuals reported muscle and joint problems, compared to 15% of the unvaccinated.

Shock CBO Report: America Facing Population Collapse as Deaths Will Soon Outnumber Births

An alarming report from the U.S. Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has issued a chilling warning of a looming population collapse in America.

The CBO predicts that the number of American deaths will surpass births just 8 years from now.

The warning is based on the U.S. population’s current below-replacement fertility rate of 1.6 births per woman.  A replacement level of 2.1 births per woman is necessary to keep the population stable.

However, deaths are also surging, meaning, that by 2033, more Americans will be dying per year than babies are being born.  (See link for article)

Gee, could all of this possibly have anything to do with:

  • the fact in 2020 a GSK whistleblower stating the clot shots cause sterility in 97% of women 
  • confidential Pfizer documents showing a miscarriage rate between 82% and 97%, which we were warned about in January by Dr. Bruchet who was promptly handcuffed, imprisoned, and drugged
  • a Pfizer scientist admitting COVID antibodies pass through the umbilical cord which means the toxic spike protein known to cause antibody dependent enhancement, which enters heart cells within 48 hours, does as well. This also means Pfizer knew babies would be poisoned by spike protein transplacentally and through breast milk causing respiratory distress, convulsions, and death.
  • a 2,000% increase in women shedding their uterine lining 
  • Saudi scientists finding ‘vaxxed’ men develop anti-sperm antibodies
  • infants suddenly having heart attacks
  • the breaches of CDC and FDA safety signals across 37 adverse events, that are statistically significant and include miscarriage, fetal malformations, preeclampsia, stillbirth, fetal growth restriction, and newborn death

Despite the horrific findings, ‘the powers that be’ continue to peddle the clot shots with abandon.  All babies are expected to get THREE shots by 9 months of age.  Patients are still being denied transplants over ‘vaccination’ status.

Wastewater measurements show the shots give NO benefit.  But we’ve been told this all before:

  1. The Cleveland Clinic (CC) study and the second CC study showed the vaccines increased your risk of contracting COVID. Other studies found the same effect: hereherehereherehereherehere.

  2. A new Japan study confirmed the CC results that more vaccines→more cases: “The odds of contracting COVID-19 increased with the number of vaccine doses: one to two doses (OR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.08-2.46, p = 0.020), three to four doses (OR: 2.04, 95% CI: 1.35-3.08, p = 0.001), and five to seven doses (OR: 2.21, 95% CI: 1.07-4.56, p = 0.033).” This is consistent with Table 2 in the CC study.

  3. A sixth study confirms NEGATIVE efficacy of the clot shots.
  4. Linear regression on the US data show the slopes are all positive (meaning it increases your risk of getting infected).

     

The Phase 3 clinical trials were a fraud.
Your government lied to you.

 

 

 

Dr. Hoffe Free at Last: Canary in a COVID World

For those of you unfamiliar with Dr. Hoffe, he’s the one who started doing D-dimer tests on patients complaining of health issues after getting the COVID jab.  He found that 62% of these people had micro-clotting, the results of which have been catastrophically seen by embalmers since the jab roll out as well as hyperinflammatory responses, coagulation disorders, and heart issues.

Rather than being commended for his astute thinking, he was threatened with disciplinary action for publicly speaking of his findings.  The following show how he was right all along:

  • Research published in April 2021 showed aspirin reduced COVID-19 patients’ need for mechanical ventilation by 44%, ICU admission by 43% and mortality by 47%.
  • Proteolytic enzymes (bromelain, NAC, nattokinase, curcumin) have been used successfully for persistent spike protein as well as long-COVID (not to mention Lyme/MSIDS).

Dr. Charles Hoffe: Free at Last, but the Battle for Truth Continues

All Charges Dropped

Now, after years of relentless attacks, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia has dropped all charges against Dr. Charles Hoffe. It is a victory for truth—but a bitter one. His career, his practice, and years of his life were taken from him. The damage cannot be undone.

We are incredibly honored that Dr. Hoffe contributed Chapter 6 to Canary in a (Post) Covid World: Money, Fear, and Power (Volume 2). From the beginning, we knew he was telling the truth. His courage to speak out, despite the overwhelming pressure to remain silent, embodies exactly what the Canaries stand for—integrity, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of truth.

Dr. Hoffe, a small-town doctor in British Columbia, was one of the first physicians to sound the alarm on COVID-19 vaccine injuries—only to be silenced and persecuted for doing so. A true Canary, he saw firsthand the harm unfolding in his own patients, yet governments and health officials denied the dangers, doubling down on their “safe and effective”narrative. For his honesty, he was censored, stripped of his ability to practice medicine, and relentlessly attacked.

But he was never alone. Behind the scenes, many courageous individuals—including fellow Canaries Dr. Jessica Rose, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Pierre Kory—worked tirelessly to expose the truth and defend his integrity. Their collective efforts helped bring undeniable evidence to light, making it impossible for the authorities to justify their case against him.

In Integrity Under Fire (Chapter 6), Hoffe takes readers on a gripping journey through the harrowing events that led to his downfall—and his unwavering resolve to stand by his patients. He details the suppression of early treatment, the real-world vaccine injury patterns he documented, and the brutal pushback he faced for daring to ask questions. His work paints a picture of a global medical establishment determined to ignore harm and punish dissenters.  (See link for article)

With Our Knowledge or Consent (Morgellons)

With our Knowledge or Consent

Crimes against humanity and environment – can we survive?

For several years when I initially had sores on my body I thought I had a dermatology condition that the doctors could not figure out. More and more people began to get it and I tried to help bring awareness to the condition because it was being ignored. I went on the Dr Phil show trying to get national awareness of this horrid disease but even that did nothing. Some people thought it was due to genetically modified organisms, as in agrobacteria, glyphosate GMO… and I thought along those lines as well. Then some other people began putting lots of information out about nonotechnology and transhumanism and I really thought they were in left field – now come on REALLY – the doctors think we are crazy by just telling them about the disease so now we are subjects of a transhuman conspiracy – yeah right. I simply could not get my head around that concept at that point in time.

But, admittedly, everything about this disease was beyond comprehension: fibers growing inside and outside my skin forming sores, they self-assembled on sinks and countertops instantly from nothing and in a fraction of a second a 2 inch long fiber appeared, they were fluorescent, they moved on their own energy source as if they were electric somehow and they seemed to communicate with the other fibers…what the hell.

I began to realize this was not just a simple fungus or skin pathogen so I began to follow all the various theories that were going around and Clifford Carnicom was just one. I kept an open mind to it all because nobody had any answers and stupidly I thought the government would be figuring it out and coming up with the reason this was happening – boy was I wrong on that.

Could it really be that our own government, without our knowledge or consent, would be so evil as to create this pathogen and infect the world with it. Could it be that they intended to ruin my life, steal my energy, scar my body, cause pain and suffering for 30 years and now they are exposing the rest of humanity through the vaccines, in food and water. It is near impossible for me to comprehend this evil but it is now being shown by Dr. Ana Marie Milahcea and Clifford Carnicom that our blood is infected by this geo-engineered organism. (See link for article & informative videos)

**Comment**

The first video (watch it now because it’s on Youtube where things are commonly disappeared) is about Clifford Carnicom, an independent researcher, who discusses the ‘aerosol’ issue and the deliberate introduction of massive amounts of particulates into our atmosphere (some call this Chemtrails) and the biological consequences, particularly the condition called “Morgellons.”   With him is Dr. Gwen Scott a naturopath.

Please also visit “Community of Empowerment” to read much more and learn of a protocol that has been successful for one patient as well as where to find the products.  You can also join the community and share your story.

It’s so important to have community with this debilitating illness.  The gaslighting is very real and IMO is even worse than having Lyme/MSIDS as most doctors simply do not ‘get it’ and will happily diagnose you with a mental condition including ‘delusional parasitosis.’
