“Complicating the frustrated patient’s predicament, clinicians attempting unproven treatments (e.g., repeated antibiotic courses) might exacerbate illness by introducing additional risks or temporarily masking potentially treatable causes.”

To: Anthony Fiore, MD, MPH,

In 2016 Dr. Paul Auwaerter, past president of the Infectious Diseases Society of America coauthored a study revealing the persister form of Borrelia burgdorferi resistant to antibiotics.

Here is a timeline of events:

Standard antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease does not kill persistent Borrelia bacteria.

Excerpt:

-What has tuberculosis and Borrelia burgdorferi in common? In the late stage of the disease occurs persistent (tolerant) bacteria, which essentially means that the bacteria lasts and lasts and lasts. They protect themselves against antibiotics and are difficult to treat.

– Both Borrelia burgdorferi and tuberculosis is relatively easy to cure in the early stages, even with the use of one antibiotic. In the late stage it is impossible to cure the disease with the same type of treatment in the acute phase, said Dr. Ying Zhang when he visited the year NorVect conference.

-Dr. Ying Zhang is a professor at the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

-Two days after NorVect conference, published Dr. Ying Zhang’s latest research Identification of new compounds with high activity against stationary phase Borrelia burgdorferi from the NCI compound collection.

Abstract

Under experimental stress conditions such as starvation or antibiotic exposure, Borrelia burgdorferi can develop round body forms, which are a type of persister bacteria that appear resistant in vitro to customary first-line antibiotics for Lyme disease. To identify more effective drugs with activity against the round body form of B. burgdorferi, we established a round body persister model induced by exposure to amoxicillin (50 μg/ml) and then screened the Food and Drug Administration drug library consisting of 1581 drug compounds and also 22 drug combinations using the SYBR Green I/propidium iodide viability assay. We identified 23 drug candidates that have higher activity against the round bodies of B. burgdorferi than either amoxicillin or doxycycline.

Abstract

Lyme disease (LD), caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States and Europe. Despite the standard 2–4 weeks’ antibiotic treatment, approximately 10%–20% of patients will develop posttreatment LD syndrome, a condition that is poorly understood. One of the probable causes is thought to be the presence of B. burgdorferi persister forms that are not effectively killed by the current LD antibiotics. In this study, we evaluated nitroxoline, an antibiotic used to treat urinary tract infections, for its activity against a stationary-phase culture enriched with persister forms of B. burgdorferi. Nitroxoline was found to be more active than doxycycline and equally active as cefuroxime (standard LD antibiotics) against B. burgdorferi. Importantly, the nitroxoline two-drug combinations nitroxoline + cefuroxime and nitroxoline + clarithromycin, as well as the nitroxoline three-drug combination nitroxoline + cefuroxime + clarithromycin, were as effective as the persister drug daptomycin-based positive control three-drug combination cefuroxime + doxycycline + daptomycin, completely eradicating stationary-phase B. burgdorferi in the drug-exposure experiments and preventing regrowth in the subculture study. Future studies should evaluate these promising drug combinations in a persistent LD mouse model.

Dr. Fiore… This is the missing research that should have been conducted early in the discovery phase of the disease but as we now know, all the eggs were put into the vaccine basket while a campaign was orchestrated to discredit the sick and disabled patient population along with the courageous clinicians attempting to help these patients. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21867956/

What has been deceitfully established here in the US is wreaking havoc globally. Example:
Lyme disease: Australians ‘being treated worse than a dog riddled with mange’, Senator John Madigan says
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-11/lyme-disease-treatment-in-australia-criticised-by-john-madigan/7080708

This research is being suppressed as the disabled Lyme patient population around the globe remain sick indefinitely. (Three decades and counting)

Anomalous Amyloid Microclots Found in 100% of COVID Vaxxed

https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-study-anomalous-amyloid?

BREAKING STUDY: Anomalous Amyloid Microclots Found in 100% of the COVID-19 Vaccinated

In a cohort that was 94% vaccinated, every participant had amyloid microclots —the same pathology behind the large white fibrous clots now being pulled from corpses worldwide.

Nov 17, 2025

by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

A new peer-reviewed study has quietly revealed one of the most consequential biological findings of the pandemic era — and the authors never acknowledge it: Every single vaccinated participant in the study had fibrinolysis-resistant, ThT-positive amyloid microclots circulating in their blood.

Hidden in the supplementary tables is a demographic and biochemical pattern that completely reframes the paper:

  • 94% of all participants were vaccinated
  • 100% of these vaccinated individuals had amyloid microclots — including every “healthy control”

The condition labeled “Long COVID” occurred almost entirely in a heavily vaccinated population, without any laboratory confirmation of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection. In reality, the study is observing Long VACCINE pathology, not Long COVID.

And because the authors’ own mechanistic experiments show that purified spike protein alone produces these amyloid, fibrinolysis-resistant clots, the implications are profound. (See link for article and graphs)

First Reported Death Supposedly By AGS

Before you read the following article, it bears repeating that researchers and doctors are making a CAUSAL connection between lone star tick bites and Alpha Gal Syndrome (AGS) meat allergy despite the fact there are people with AGS who were not bitten by the tick.

Further, journalist Jon Rappoport takes this even further by stating the very same type of causal link used for AGS is not accepted at all for ‘vaccines’ causing subsequent injuries.  

Both conditions are self reported and in the following story, the patient remembers being bitten by chiggers not a tick…..

First death reported from meat allergy caused by tick bite

After months of investigation, researchers confirmed that a New Jersey man died of a tickborne allergy called alpha-gal syndrome after eating a hamburger.
 
By Aria Bendix

A 47-year-old airline pilot from New Jersey is the first person known to have died from alpha-gal syndrome, a red meat allergy caused by a tick bite.

Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine publicly reported the cause of death Wednesday after months of investigation. Their findings were published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice.

The man’s death had previously been seen as a mystery, since medical examinations showed no evidence of a heart attack or other life-threatening issues.

According to the researchers, the man started feeling sick four hours after consuming a hamburger at a barbecue in September 2024. When he returned home, he was well enough to mow the lawn and read the paper. But shortly after 7:30 p.m. that day, the man’s son found him unconscious on the bathroom floor with vomit around him. An autopsy ruled that his death was sudden and unexplained.

Two weeks earlier, the man had become ill after eating a steak dinner on a camping trip with his wife and children. The researchers said he woke up at 2 a.m. with severe diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain, and later told one of his sons that he thought he was going to die. However, he and his wife were uncertain of what had happened, so they decided not to consult a doctor.

“The tragedy is that they didn’t think of that episode as anaphylaxis, and therefore didn’t connect it to the beef at the time,” said Dr. Thomas Platts-Mills, an allergist at the University of Virginia School of Medicine who discovered alpha-gal syndrome and diagnosed the New Jersey man’s case.

**Comment**

The cause of the allergic reaction did not show up on his autopsy.

But when a family friend who was a doctor talked to the man’s wife, they wondered if it could be AGS.  Another doctor who knew the family friend worked with the wife for blood testing.  The highest level for anaphylaxis this doctor had ever seen on a survivor is 100.  The deceased’s level was 2,000.

A few interesting points:

  • According to the good doctor, food allergy deaths are really rare and happen in people with underlying asthma or ‘some other kind of medical condition.’  The good doctor didn’t mention ‘vaccines’, but since the deceased was a pilot and they were mandated to get the experimental clot shots, I’m betting he got it – and that indeed could have been his precipitating ‘medical condition,’ or the big fat elephant in the room everyone blithely ignores.
  • The good doctor said a recent bite could boost AGS.  The wife said the deceased had been bitten by chiggers, however, researchers now suspect the bites came from lone star tick larvae. 
  • The article makes sure to only push the fear narrative that it’s solely ticks, and roving deer due to climate change, completely ignoring the fact people get AGS without any tick bite whatsoever, implicating ‘vaccines,’ and the fact our own government has been working on ticks for decades and dropping them from airplanes.

Sweet Deception: The Framing of Fluoride

And speaking of sugar and metabolic diseases……

Sweet Deception: The Framing of Fluoride

How the Kellogg Foundation helped turn a dietary crisis into a chemical solution.

Bruce Lanphear

The House That Sugar Built

In 1930, Will Keith Kellogg, the breakfast-cereal magnate, endowed a new philanthropic institution with a simple mission: to promote the health and happiness of children. Like many industrialists of his time, he believed that the wealth created by modern business should serve the public good. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation was born from that ideal, funded by stock in the company that still bears his name.

Nearly a century later, that relationship endures. The Foundation’s trust remains one of the largest shareholders in the Kellogg Company—now split into Kellanova (snacks) and WK Kellogg Co (cereals). The dividends from those shares sustain one of the world’s largest charitable foundations, supporting programs in early childhood, food security, and public health.

But the Foundation’s history reveals a deeper paradox—one that raises uncomfortable questions about how philanthropy, industry, and science can become entangled in shaping public health itself.

Sugar, Tooth Decay, and the Birth of Fluoridation

By the mid-20th century, Americans were consuming record amounts of refined sugar, much of it through breakfast cereals and convenience foods. Dental caries became one of the most common chronic diseases in children.

Rather than confronting the role of sugar, public-health officials and industry leaders rallied around a technological fix: fluoridation. Adding fluoride to drinking water, they claimed, would strengthen enamel and prevent cavities regardless of diet.

The idea was not born in dental science alone—it was also nurtured by industry influence. According to a 2025 analysis by Chris Neurath in Environmental Health, the sugar industry and its allies actively promoted fluoridation to deflect attention from the role of sugar in tooth decay. Among the most prominent actors in this alliance was the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, whose deep financial ties to the sugary cereal business gave it both motive and means to shape dental policy.

The Kellogg Connection

Neurath’s research reveals that in 1942, Emory Morris—a former dentist, Kellogg Company executive, and later president of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation—was appointed chair of the American Dental Association’s Committee on Dental Health Policy. Under his leadership, the ADA began to promote fluoride as a “magic bullet” against tooth decay while de-emphasizing the importance of reducing sugar consumption.

That same year, Morris’s committee even discussed the compulsory addition of fluoride to food.

Soon after, Harold Hillenbrand, editor of the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) and a fluoridation advocate, joined the Kellogg Foundation’s dental advisory committee, while Morris simultaneously chaired the ADA’s policy committee—a reciprocal relationship that aligned the Foundation and the ADA in promoting fluoridation.

According to University of Michigan dentist Philip Jay, who led the first human fluoridation trial in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Kellogg Foundation provided the initial funding for that study in 1945. A decade later, the Foundation gave the ADA a $250,000 grant—worth roughly $2.8 million today—and continued to fund fluoridation programs for decades, including in Latin America as late as 2005.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

The devastating role of sugar and fluoride on human health has been covered up for decades.

The Weston Price Foundation states:

“….fluoridation and the proclaimed benefit of fluoride as a way of preventing dental decay is perhaps the greatest “scientific” fraud ever perpetrated upon an unsuspecting public.”

It’s important to note that fluorides are cumulative toxins which means they accumulate in the body.

  • In 1998 EPA scientists declared a 4ppm safety level; however, this level was set fraudulently by outside forces in a decision that omitted 90% of the data showing the mutagenic properties of fluoride.
  • Since fluoride is now everywhere, it’s impossible to accurately measure total fluoride intake.

Regarding sugar, “That Sugar Film” documentary follows filmmaker Damon Gameau as went from consuming very little sugar to consuming the average amount of sugar eaten daily by Australians (160gm or 40 teaspoons).  He noted:

  • wild mood swings
  • weight gain of 7 lbs in 12 days
  • 2.75 inches to his waistline in 1 month
  • pre-type 2 diabetes
  • heart disease
  • 11 centimeters of visceral fat
  • nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

A Mother’s Story: The Nightmare in the Leaf Pile

A mother’s story: the nightmare in the leaf pile

Nov. 4, 2025

By Dorothy Kupcha Leland

When many people see a big, beautiful pile of colorful autumn leaves, it feels like an open invitation to dive in. The scene evokes joy, nostalgia, and the simple thrill of childhood.

But for Isabel Rose, it brings up something very different. It reminds her of a moment that marked the beginning of her lifelong struggle with Lyme disease.

What others see as innocent fun, she now views with alarm.

Ticks thrive in damp, shaded environments close to the ground. Leaf piles, tall grass, and wooded edges are prime habitats for them. Children playing in these areas are at increased risk, often unaware that a single tick bite can lead to years of misery.

For Isabel, what began as a carefree childhood leap into a leaf pile became the start of a medical nightmare.

Isabel is now a writer, Lyme disease advocate, and founder of Mothers Against Lyme, a support network for families affected by congenital and pediatric Lyme. She also serves on the board of Project Lyme, a national nonprofit.

In a recent essay published on her Substack, Isabel shares the story of how a tick bite at age 8 led to decades of misdiagnosed symptoms, chronic illness, and eventually, the discovery that both she and her children had Lyme disease and co-infections.

Her experience is a powerful reminder of the importance of tick awareness. Ignoring the risks can be hazardous to yourself–and future generations.
