Learn about the connection between Lyme disease, POTS, and Lyme carditis, and discover the importance of early diagnosis and specialized medical care.

Have you heard of POTS?

Between my freshman and sophomore years of college, I was bitten by a tick while working at a summer camp in the woods of Maine. As I’ve described in many of my blog posts, it took eight years for me to be accurately diagnosed, and during that time I suffered from a range of physical and neurological symptoms. During the fall semester of my sophomore year, I had flu-like symptoms as well as symptoms of what the college nurses thought were panic attacks.

Looking back now, I wonder if my heart palpitations, lightheadedness, and dizziness were in fact signs POTS, or Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. At the time, POTS was little if at all understood, but now researchers and physicians are seeing POTS not just in Lyme disease patients but also in conditions like long COVID and ME/CFS.

POTS occurs when moving from lying to standing causes an increase in heart rate by at least 30 beats per minute for adults and 40 beats per minute for children. In addition to this abnormal increase in heart rate, the Heart Rhythm Society defines POTS as a clinical syndrome characterized by symptoms of lightheadedness, blurring of vision, palpitations, intolerance to exercise, and fatigue, as well as the absence of orthostatic hypotension[i] (meaning the blood pressure does not drop when the heart rate rises). I experienced all of these symptoms that fall in college. Had POTS been more well-known, its symptoms could have pointed puzzled medical practitioners in the direction of tick-borne disease. That was 1997; a recent study shows that the incidence of POTS has increased four-fold since 2000.[ii]

Another Lyme-related condition, Lyme carditis

Heart-related symptoms such as racing heartbeat can also be a sign of another condition known as Lyme carditis, when the Lyme bacteria goes to the heart. This can cause atrioventricular block, often referred to as “heart block,” which is an electrical disconnect between the upper and lower chambers of the heart, causing them to beat at different rhythms. Lyme carditis can also manifest as costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone), tachycardia (racing heart rate) and bradycardia (slow heart rate). It can also cause myopericarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle and lining), which patients may feel as chest pain or shortness of breath.

Though Lyme carditis is rare, according to a 2008 study, 4% to 10% of all patients with Lyme borreliosis. Whenever the clinical suspicion of Lyme carditis arises, an ECG is mandatory to detect or exclude an atrioventricular conduction block.

If you have already been diagnosed with Lyme disease, it’s important that your doctor check specifically for Lyme carditis, and also evaluate you for POTS. If you are experiencing symptoms of either Lyme carditis or POTS, see a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD) to find out if tick-borne disease may be the cause. I only wish I had seen a LLMD sooner; I might have avoided years of suffering.

GLA announces new research grants to tackle critical gaps in Lyme disease research, including biobanking, pediatric Lyme disease, and chronic conditions.

Global Lyme Alliance (GLA), the leading 501 (c)(3) dedicated to conquering Lyme and other tick-borne diseases through innovative research, awareness, and empowering the patient voice proudly announces new funding to support critical research initiatives. 

In 2025, GLA continues to drive scientific breakthroughs, empowering researchers to tackle complex challenges in Lyme disease and develop actionable solutions. The latest funding highlights GLA’s commitment to addressing gaps in biobanking, advancing pediatric Lyme disease research, and investigating chronic conditions in Lyme disease. 

GLA Chief Scientific Officer Armin Alaedini, PhD, remarked: “Biobanking is a critical yet often overlooked resource in Lyme disease research. By funding the creation of comprehensive biorepositories, we aim to provide researchers with the tools they need to make meaningful strides in diagnosing and treating Lyme disease.” 

Newly funded projects include:

1. The European Lyme Biorepository: Co-led by Volker Fingerle, MD, (pictured right) Head of German NationalVolkner Reference Center for Borrelia and Andreas Weiser, MD, (pictured left) at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. They will establish a comprehensive biobank to collect blood samples from patients from over 10 European countries. The biobank LMU photowill be the first unified European resource for Lyme disease research, providing a much-needed, standardized collection to improve current and new tests and support research aimed at advancing how Lyme disease is diagnosed.  

2. POTS and Lyme Disease: Led by Brit Adler, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University. Brit Adler headshotThis project investigates the link between Lyme disease and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The study aims to uncover prevalence, risk factors, and physiological changes in patients, potentially leading to improved treatment strategies and insights into the pathophysiology of the chronic manifestations of Lyme disease.  

GLA’s ongoing funding includes:  

1. Pedi Lyme Net: under the leadership of Lise Nigrovic, MD, MPH, Senior Pediatric Emergency Physician at Boston Children’s Hospital and Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, Pedi Lyme Net is a pediatric emergency department Lyme disease network composed of 8 different emergency departments. It includes the world’s only pediatric Lyme Disease Biobank with over 6,000 biosamples collected since 2015. These samples have so far supported 21 impactful studies and fostered 11 research collaborations, advancing the understanding of pediatric Lyme disease diagnosis and management.

2. Patient Genetics: Klemen Strle, PhD, an Assistant Professor at Tufts University, is studying immune responses and patient genetics to uncover why some patients have lingering Lyme disease symptoms.  

3. Epigenetics: Tanja Petnicki-Ocwieja, PhD an Assistant Professor at Tufts University is examining how Lyme bacteria may cause epigenetic changes in bone marrow cells of mice. Inhibiting some of these changes may offer novel potential modes of treatment. 

4. Persistence: Jenny Hyde, PhD an Associate Professor at Texas A&M University and Melissa Caimano, PhD, an Associate Professor at the University of Connecticut, are investigating whether Lyme bacteria or their remnants in mice could contribute to chronic symptoms and evaluating which antibiotics are most effective in eliminating them. 

5. Bartonellosis: Monica Embers, PhD, an Associate Professor at Tulane University and Annette Moter, MD, PhD a Principal Director at Charité-Berlin University Medicine are studying drug combinations to treat Bartonella when it lives inside and outside cells. While evidence for bartonellosis as a tick-borne disease in the U.S. is limited, it remains a concern as a potential co-infection in Lyme patients. 

GLA’s research grants are rigorously evaluated by its Scientific Advisory Board, ensuring that only the most promising and innovative proposals with the highest anticipated impact are funded. As the global incidence of Lyme disease continues to rise, GLA remains at the forefront of advancing research, empowering patients, and fostering international collaborations to address this growing public health crisis.

Why Lyme/MSIDS Patients Should Care About USAID, A Money Laundering CIA Front Using Your Tax Dollars

UPDATE:

USAID, which is supposed to be bipartisan, not only funded the election rigging Smartmatic Election System currently under scrutiny by Federal prosecutors for money laundering and other crimes arising from more than $1 million in bribes, it is also behind the global ‘smart city’ tyranny, as well as Wuhan Lab gain of function research.  Allegedly, the same shadowy players funding this are also funding today’s ‘No Kings’ movement, which is as partisan as you can get, and full of irony considering the fact the Billionaires through a network of NGOs are funding Antifa, protests, and violence.  The most unsettling fact is that more than $100M in taxpayer funding has flowed into these very networks.

WikiLeaks exposes USAID-Internews Network Censorship Psyop, which paid nearly a half a BILLION tax dollars to a secretive NGO operating a global news propaganda matrix deployed against taxpayers. 

In 2025 more than 80% of all the agency’s programs were cancelled as of March, and the remainder were formally absorbed by the state department.

https://makismd.substack.com/p/news-usaid-the-money-laundering-capital#media

“USAID is a CIA front that used $5B in 2014 to ignite a Colour Revolution in Ukraine. Victoria Nuland picked the new Government a month before the old Government was overthrown…” -RFK Jr.

“There is probably no entity in the government that is more of an entrenched power center of unelected bureaucrats with less accountability, less oversight than USAID. They funnel money to their cronies all over the world through a swampy network of NGOs and cutouts, including some very troubling elements of focusing on things like regime change and destabilizing foreign countries.” – Stephen Miller

Thankfully, there will be a review of Federal funding for some 1.5 MILLION NGOs which qualify for state and federal tax exemptions.
  • Money to CIA
  • Money to WEF
  • Money to EcoHealth Alliance ($207 MILLION between 2009-2019) & Wuhan Lab for bioweapons research
  • Money to Bill Gates’ GAVI
  • Money to Soros-affiliated NGOs  (The East-West Management Institute, a beneficiary of both USAID and Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF), was granted over $260 million in tax-dollars)
  • Money for censorship in Europe and globally including the U.S. (BBC Media Action, Trusted News Initiative, etc. working along side Meta, Google, Microsoft, and Twitter/X using censorship/’fact checking’ under the guise of ‘misinformation’).  Did you know your tax dollars fund foreign media?
  • Money ($797 MILLION) to NGO’s in Guatemala funding child trafficking (over 190,052 children – over 3% of all children in Guatemala) and another 2 MILLION for sex changes in Guatemala.
  • Money to Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Gaza, and money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam, a transgender clinic in India, and:
    • $1.5 MILLION to a Serbian LGBT group
    • $1.5 MILLION to promote LGBT advocacy in Jamaica
    • $3.9 MLLION for LGBT causes in Macedonia
    • $1.5 MILLION to Belarus to promote art with people with disabilities
    • $164 MILLION for global radical organizations
    • $7.9 MILLION to Sri Lanka to avoid binary gender 
    • 4.5 Million to combat ‘disinformation’ in Kazakastan
    • $10 MILLION to an Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group  Source
    • $17 BILLION to Ukraine, 3 BILLION to Israel, $733 MILLION to Yemen for 2023 alone.
  • USIAD has 10,000 employees and the organization gives away 40 BILLION yearly.  Source

Note the following:

  • $20M for Iraqi Sesame Street
  • $2M for Moroccan pottery classes 
  • $11M to tell Vietnam stop burning trash 
  • $27M to give gift bags to illegals 
  • $330M to help Afghanis grow crops 
  • $300M on unused Afghani power plant 
  • $200M on unused Afghani dam
  • $250M on unused Afghani road
  • 9 out of 10 media outlets in Ukraine rely on USAID funding

“We gave Syrians nine mil for humanitarian aid, but someone messed up and it went to al Qaeda. We gave millions for bat research in Wuhan. USAID was funding fashion week in Paris. USAID is a $40 billion deep state social justice slush fund.”

“USAID is an American intelligence cutout. They’ve been caught staging coup after coup across Latin America, funding paramilitary groups, and getting kicked out of countries for subversive activities. The deeper we investigated USAID, the more it looks like a dark money Democrat super PAC.”

“Burisma got a contract with USAID through Hunter. The Clinton Foundation worked arm in arm with USAID in Haiti, and a billion dollars disappeared. USAID was pouring billions into the hands of open borders groups. We were literally funding the invasion and buying them gift bags as they left.” ~ Jesse Watters

See this important 4 min video on USAID, as well as this 9 min video with USAID expert Mike Benz, Executive Director of the Foundation for Freedom Online.

“USAID is under the cloak of being a humanitarian aid organization designed to advance U.S. foreign policy, is assigned the dirtiest tasks that the State Department can’t get caught doing, and that used to be done directly by the CIA, but USAID is able to act as essentially a covert operations division in the way that the CIA used to except it’s not even bound by the requirement of a presidential finding to authorize a covert operation that the CIA does.”~ Mike Benz

I’ve done 50 hours of private livestream lectures fore my X subscribers on USAID and every time I mention Chemonics, I stress this wormhole is at the dark heart of how USAID does what it does: operating as a private, self-sustained, standalone, off-the-shelf CIA. ~ Mike Benz

Trump’s Shakeup of USAID Reveals Agency Financed Censorship and Smear Campaigns

Recent reporting by journalists Sayer Ji, Michael Shellenberger and Alex Gutentag, and Lee Fang have linked USAID funding to the smearing and censoring of U.S. and global independent journalists and media platforms.

As the Trump administration began reorganizing and cutting major funding to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), revelations emerged that the organization financed groups, including some media outlets, engaged in smear campaigns and censorship against dissident voices.

The agency, known as a front for U.S. intelligence operations, has financed regime change and other American interests worldwide. It also funds news organizations that are aligned with U.S. foreign policy objectives.

This includes large international organizations that, in turn, fund smaller media organizations like BBC Media Action and the International Fund for Public Interest Media, chaired by the former head of The New York Times.

USAID also directly funds smaller media organizations and even runs its own media initiatives to undermine regimes the U.S. deems problematic.

Reporters Without Borders, which lamented the Trump cuts to USAID, reported that in 2023 the agency funded 6,200 journalists, 707 non-state news outlets and “supported 279 media-sector civil society organizations dedicated to strengthening independent media.”

Recent reporting by journalists such as Sayer Ji of GreenMedInfo, Lee Fang, and Michael Shellenberger and Alex Gutentag of Public News has linked that funding to the smearing and censoring of independent journalists and platforms within the U.S. and internationally.

“USAID has long functioned as a geopolitical instrument, using media funding to shape narratives favorable to Western governmental and corporate interests,” Ji told The Defender.

“While it presents itself as a development agency, its deep ties to intelligence operations and state-sponsored influence campaigns are well-documented,” Ji said. “Media organizations receiving USAID funding are not independent — they are extensions of state power, laundering government-sanctioned narratives under the guise of journalism.”

Ji reported on Substack that BBC Media Action, the BBC’s international charity, received substantial funding from USAID — 8% of its 2023-2024 budget, according to a BBC press statement.

He said BBC Media Action has faced accusations of engaging in censorship under the guise of “combating misinformation,” and that it leverages the BBC brand to shape media narratives, including about public health, vaccines and pharmaceutical products.

Ji said this is concerning given that BBC has expanded its influence through projects like the Trusted News Initiative (TNI), a self-described “industry partnership” that worked with Big Tech forms to identify “misinformation” and “disinformation” on their platforms.

Claiming to combat misinformation about COVID-19, TNI’s work has been tied to suppressing viewpoints that contradict the mainstream pharmaceutical and governmental stance on public health, like those of GreenMedInfo and Children’s Health Defense (CHD).

“The revelations regarding USAID’s funding of BBC Media Action and its role in the Trusted News Initiative (TNI) further solidify what many of us have long suspected: Censorship is no longer a covert operation but a fully integrated transnational enterprise designed to suppress dissent and monopolize narratives,” Ji told The Defender.

CHD is one of several plaintiffs in a lawsuit against TNI, alleging the initiative violated antitrust laws and the U.S. Constitution when its members collectively colluded with tech giants to censor online news.

Fang reported on Substack about other “anti-disinformation” groups financed by the “sprawling” USAID that have targeted American journalists and politicians. These include the Zinc Network, which he said targeted reporter Max Blumenthal, politician Vivek Ramaswamy, and Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.

According to Fang, the USAID also funded v-Fluence, a pesticide industry public relations consultant, which dug up dirt on American food journalists — including Michael Pollan and Mark Bittman — who criticized industrial agriculture.

v-Fluence also ran a campaign to intimidate critics of toxic pesticides, targeting environmentalists Vandana Shiva and Nnimmo Bassey and reporter Carey Gillam as part of its broader effort “to downplay pesticide dangers, discredit opponents, and undermine international policymaking harmful to the pesticide industry,” The New Lede reported.

USAID also financed news outlets in Ukraine, including The New Voice of Ukraine, VoxUkraine, Detector Media, and the Institute of Mass Information, which spread rumors that Americans who favor peace negotiations with Russia are agents of the Kremlin, Fang wrote. The media outlets targeted Jeffrey Sachs, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Greenwald and John Mearsheimer, Fang reported.

Fang said the influence of those groups “extends far beyond” Ukraine. VoxUkraine is an official Meta fact-checking partner, he said, and Detector Media produces disinformation reports that circulate widely in Western media.

“Despite branding as independent outlets, these organizations are heavily reliant on USAID,” Fang wrote.

USAID also funds the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), a major — if largely unknown – organization that works with dozens of major newspapers to publish major investigative stories.

Drop Site News revealed in an investigative report published in December 2024 that OCCRP, which it called “one of the world’s most influential global investigative news organizations,” has received more than half of its funding from the U.S. government, largely through USAID.

The investigation found that funding gives the U.S. government direct influence over editorial and personnel decisions at the outlet.

Fang also reported that USAID’s sister nonprofit, the National Endowment for Democracy funds Coda Story, an anti-disinformation news outlet in New York.

Shellenberger said in a video posted on X that USAID’s work also extended beyond funding news agencies to promote ideas favorable to U.S. interests. It also included developing intelligence tactics abroad that it then used domestically to counter misinformation.

Shellenberger said:

“To combat alleged misinformation, the censorship industrial complex used counter-terrorism and intelligence tactics developed abroad, including psychological operations and repurposed them to shape domestic opinion and thought. …

“USAID has, in recent years, been funding censorship worldwide through its countering disinformation program, which is part of its consortium for elections and political process strengthening. This work has included funding for so-called fact-checking organizations.”

Claims about Politico may be overblown, but USAID must be investigated

As the revelations about USAID’s funding to journalism went viral, former Fox News producer Kyle Becker reported on X that Politico had received $8.1 million from the agency and that USAID’s funding freeze had led to a payroll problem at the outlet.

His claims went viral and provoked dismissive fact-checks by mainstream media organizations.

Fang said that according to USAID contract records, the agency paid $44,000 for subscription services to the news service. Politico, like other outlets including Bloomberg and LexisNexis, offers high-priced data-industry news subscriptions for tens of thousands of dollars.

The $8.1 million figure came from all government subscription payments to Politico — not just from USAID — and there is no evidence the USAID funding freeze was related to the payroll issue at the outlet.

The $8.1 figure, however, has highlighted the fact that most mainstream news organizations, including The New York Times, Reuters, and The Associated Press receive significant income from various government agencies through subscriptions and other funding.

And USAID does fund many “questionable news operations,” globally that ought to be subject to scrutiny, Fang wrote:

“And unlike Politico, there is actual evidence that the freeze on USAID spending is impacting the American government’s quasi-shadowy constellation of news operations all over the world.

“Voice of America reported ‘independent news outlets’ in more than 30 countries, including Austria, Ukraine, and Myanmar, are facing cuts or are at risk of shutting down over the USAID freeze. Ironically, of course, Voice of America is also funded by American taxpayers.”

Ji said that subjecting these organizations to scrutiny and defunding them is an important step, “but only if it leads to widespread public awareness and systemic resistance.”

Organizations like BBC Media and others can find new sources of funding, “unless there is mass rejection of their authority.”

“The key is decentralization — building alternative platforms, supporting independent journalism, and challenging censorship through legal and political action. The exposure of these ties is a wake-up call: free speech is under siege, and only a vigilant, informed public can reclaim it,” he said.

The DEATH safety signals in VAERS were obvious if anyone looked

I’ll show you just how obvious it is. Like over 100X above normal.

Steve Kirsch
Feb 05, 2025

Executive summary

We’ve been told by the experts that there are so many deaths in VAERS associated with the COVID vaccine because health care professionals are required by law to report these deaths. And also, it’s because lots of old people were vaccinated and old people die more. And it’s because of COVID, not the vaccine! That’s a huge relief. I was worried it might be because the COVID vaccines were unsafe!

Here’s what I did just to make sure the experts are right and my doctor friend is wrong…

I ran a query on all deaths in 2021 for those vaccinated from the COVID vaccine for US states in those aged 18 to 50. I wanted to see if the profile of what they died from was just the NORMAL profile from other vaccines in VAERS, i.e., it’s just over-reporting of background events from doctors who were required to report.

It located 655 cases as shown above.

Download the Datafile to see the full list of symptoms of the deaths.

I also look in 2021 just for comparison. 7 reports, slightly higher than in baseline years of 2018 and 2019 (5 reports a year).

So basically 100X higher rate of death reports from the COVID vaccine vs. all other vaccines combined.

Then I did the same query but for every vaccine other than the COVID vaccine in 2020 to determine whether all the reports were caused by COVID and not the vaccine.

Here’s what I found. Just 3 death reports:

Summary

OK, so 655 reports for the COVID vaccines vs. 3 reports for all other vaccines combined in 2020 which had COVID, but not the vaccines.

So death reports for COVID vaccines in 2021 happened at 200X more often than in 2020 for all vaccines combined.  (See link for article)

Media Failing to Cover ‘Powerful Testimony’ of People Injured by COVID Vaccines

Important information about COVID-19 vaccine injuries and their impact on people’s lives is “slipping between the cracks” of media coverage, YouTube commenter John Campbell, Ph.D., reported on a recent episode of his show.

by Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.
February 5, 2025
Kate Scott and covid vaccine with U.K. map

Campbell played clips of testimony by Kate Scott, who represents the U.K.’s Covid Vaccine Injured & Bereaved (VIBUK). Kate’s husband, Jamie, suffered a traumatic brain injury and was left severely disabled by the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Kate’s testimony is part of the inquiry’s fourth module, investigating issues related to the COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics.

Jamie was an athlete, a high-power executive and an active husband and father of two boys until he nearly died after experiencing vaccine-induced immune thrombosis and thrombocytopenia. He was in a coma for four weeks and five days.

Jamie survived, Kate explained, but his life will never be the same. His traumatic brain injury affects his thinking processes and his emotions. He is partially blind and he will never be able to work again, to live independently or to look after their children.

Kate also revealed that people are deemed ineligible for compensation if they are considered less than 60% disabled and that many people receive diagnoses that they are 59% disabled.

Four Studies Confirm Serious Health Risks Associated With Childhood Vaccination

The CDC doesn’t want you to see this.

2nd Smartest Guy in the World
Feb 04, 2025

Another day, another article that irrefutably proves that all vaccines are unsafe and ineffective…Four damning studies, compiled by epidemiologist Nic Hulscher, expose the devastating long-term health risks linked to compliance with the CDC’s recommended vaccine schedule for children.

Here’s a closer look at the data in layman’s terms:

1️⃣ Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

  • Mawson et al. (2017) found that vaccinated children were over 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than unvaccinated children.
  • Hooker & Miller (2021) found an even higher risk—vaccinated children were 5 times more likely to have autism.
  • Mawson & Jacob (2025) found that children who had 11 or more vaccine appointments were 4.4 times more likely to develop autism.

2️⃣ ADHD

  • Mawson et al. (2017) found that vaccinated children were 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD.
  • Hooker & Miller (2021) found an extreme risk—vaccinated children were 20 times more likely to develop ADHD.
  • Mawson & Jacob (2025) found a 3 times higher risk for ADHD-like symptoms (Hyperkinetic Syndrome).

3️⃣ Asthma

  • Hooker & Miller (2020) found that vaccinated children were 4.5 times more likely to develop asthma.
  • Hooker & Miller (2021) found an even greater risk—vaccinated children were nearly 18 times more likely to have asthma.

4️⃣ Severe Allergies (EpiPen Use, Allergic Rhinitis)

  • Mawson et al. (2017) found that vaccinated children were 30 times more likely to develop allergic rhinitis (seasonal allergies).
  • Hooker & Miller (2021) found that vaccinated children were 4 times more likely to require an EpiPen for severe allergic reactions.

5️⃣ Chronic Ear Infections (Otitis Media)

  • Mawson et al. (2017) found that vaccinated children were nearly 4 times more likely to suffer from chronic ear infections.
  • Hooker & Miller (2020) found a 2 times higher risk of ear infections in vaccinated children.
  • Hooker & Miller (2021) found that vaccinated children were 28 times more likely to develop recurring ear infections.

6️⃣ Gastrointestinal Disorders

  • Hooker & Miller (2020) found that children who received the highest number of vaccines were 4 times more likely to develop digestive issues like chronic constipation and diarrhea.
  • Hooker & Miller (2021) found that vaccinated children were nearly 14 times more likely to experience serious, ongoing gastrointestinal problems.  (See link for article and graphs)
