Abstract

We describe a case of relapsing babesiosis in an immunocompromised patient. A point mutation in the Babesia microti 23S rRNA gene predicted resistance to azithromycin and clindamycin whereas an amino acid change in the parasite cytochrome b predicted resistance to atovaquone. Following initiation of tafenoquine, symptoms and parasitemia resolved.

**Comment**

A wonderful example of how mutations can affect treatment outcome and the importance that a singular drug can make in a person’s life. This person is truly lucky to have this information to help guide their treatment.  Most patients simply have to struggle forward, shooting in the dark to find answers.

The topic of mutations is rarely is discussed or researched and is clearly an area begging for more work to be done.  How many more patients out there have this problem?

We need treatments, not a supposed magic-cure all injection.

Another topic that is rarely discussed or researched is the very real problem with wide-spread use of antibiotics in healthy animals in live-stock farming.

Study Sounds Alarm Over New Bacteria Increasingly Spreading Among Humans

By Jack Phillips
June 30, 2022

A strain of antibiotic-resistant bacteria discovered in pigs is spreading to people and causing infections, according to a new study released this week.

A strain of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) is suspected to have merged among European pigs and other livestock in the past several decades because of frequent antibiotic use in farming.

“Historically high levels of antibiotic use” may have led to the cause of this “highly antibiotic-resistant strain of MRSA on pig farms,” said Dr. Gemma Murrayn, who worked on the study released by the University of Cambridge, in a news release. 

“We found that the antibiotic resistance in this livestock-associated MRSA is extremely stable—it has persisted over several decades, and also as the bacteria has spread across different livestock species,” Murrayn added in the news release.

A New Look At Chronic Lyme

A New Look at Chronic Lyme

Many physicians who treat tick-borne diseases now combine conventional medicine with gentler integrative strategies — and more long-term patients are getting well.
image compilation lyme disease
By Pamela Weintraub | Experience Life May 25, 2022
(See link for article)
SUMMARY:
  • Weintrub highlights Jennifer Crystal’s story which mimics many other patients
  • Unfortunately, the article regurgitates the notion that only up to 20% experience chronic symptoms when the number is more like 60%
  • Weintraub explains that historically LLMD’s used high doses of antibiotics/antimalarials in harsh regimens lasting months or years but due to grueling side effects have adopted a multi-pronged approach that combines the judicious use of drugs which includes natural therapies
  • The article also erroneously blames rising temperatures for tick expansion when independent research has shown this to be false
  • The reason infections are reported in every state but Hawaii and Oklahoma has to do with migrating birds, reptiles, and mammals – including humans.
  • Weintraub explains the difference between the “two types” of Lyme disease: the acute, straight-forward cases, and those who remain sick after standard treatment, who are typically diagnosed late, and who have more than one infection – which research confirms who are as impaired as those with congestive heart failure and sicker than type 2 diabetics, and who have a striking degree of neuro-inflammation
  • Unfortunately, this second group which suffers greatly with chronic infections is still gas-lit by physicians who would rather label them with chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia and give them “scattershot” treatment
  • The article then goes into the big problem with faulty Lyme testing which can not register antibodies for 6 weeks, miss a significant subset of people who will always remain seronegative, that can not register certain strains of borrelia, or pick up the organism which lies dormant within tissues.
  • Despite a CDC disclaimer, many doctors still rely on the faulty CDC surveillance case definition which requires a positive test or the EM rash, when many will never test positive and many never get a rash.
  • I was thankful for Dr. Maloney who states an early course of antibiotics does NOT eliminate the risk for chronic Lyme
  • The article then delves into the fact many patients are infected with way more than just Lyme
  • Researchers that previously doubted that Bartonella could be spread by ticks are changing their position as there is now strong circumstantial evidence
  • The article points out that research has identified “persister cells” which are antibiotic tolerate and generally unresponsive to drugs as well as biofilms which work to protect infectious organisms, also making it hard to eliminate them
  • Stanford researchers have exposed persister forms (in vitro) to more than 4,000 drugs to observe effectiveness which has resulted in the use of disulfiram/Antabuse, an old drug for use for alcoholism but is potent against Lyme disease (but can cause severe side-effects in some)
  • Dr. Zhang has tested lyme-containing biofilms (in vitro) using antibiotics and herbs and has found that Japanese knotweed, black walnut, sweet wormwood, and Ghanaian quinine are all effective against Lyme disease.
  • Dr. Horowitz has found that a 2-month course of dapsone combined with biofilm buster rifampin has helped almost half of his chronically ill patients return to health. One patient accidentally took quadruple the dose for 4 days which put her into full remission – another example of how dosage matters.  A few other patients used this approach with similar success leading Horowitz away from long-term antibiotics to hitting hard for several days 3-4 times a year
  • Dr. Kinderlehrer reports that a formerly straightforward infection has morphed into body-wide instability: extreme sensitivities to foods, mold, chemicals, activation of mast cells, and dangerous allergic reactions, which can trigger brain fog, mood problems, pain syndromes, and profound fatigue.
  • A suppressed immune system can reactivate other infections like EBV
  • Integrative doctor Erica Lehman’s experience has taught her to recognize the different between those with neurologic disease versus illness that hits the gut, endodrine system, joint tissues, etc.
  • Many of the doctors who specialize in chronic Lyme do so because they have gone through it themselves

I highly, highly recommend Weintraub’s 2008 book “Cure Unknown: Inside the Lyme Epidemic.”  Although it was written 14 years ago, it remains one of the most thorough, accurate accounts of the Lyme debacle and clearly demonstrates that little has changed.

She also wrote about Dr. Masters the Rebel for Lyme Patients Who Took on the CDC Single-handedly  and broke it down into four parts in Psychology Today and which I summarize in the link. This history must not be lost. 

We must remember the fraud and corruption behind & in the world of Lyme/MSIDS.

Fauci Gets COVID Yet Again After Taking Paxlovid, Proving the Drug that Cost Taxpayers $10.6 Billion is Worthless

https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/fauci-covid-rebound-pfizer-paxlovid-taxpayers

Fauci Gets COVID Again After Taking Pfizer’s Treatment — the Drug That Cost Taxpayers $10.5 Billion

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday he is experiencing a rebound of COVID-19 symptoms after taking Paxlovid, Pfizer’s COVID-19 antiviral pill. Taxpayers are on the hook for $10.5 billion worth of the experimental treatment, under a deal the White House cut with Pfizer.

Excerpts:
Fauci tested positive for COVID-19 on June 15, despite being quadruple-vaccinated, initially experiencing “mild symptoms,” according to the NIAID.
Summary:
  • Due to his age he was put on a five day treatment of the expensive and rushed to market drug Paxlovid, which experts admit has a track record of causing a rebound of COVID, yet the CDC illogically continues to recommend it. Despite all common sense, logic, and science, the CDC will never in 1,000 years promote HCQ or ivermectin, vitamin C & D, and other effective, safe, cheap medications/supplements, just like they will never promote extended antibiotics for Lyme/MSIDS
  • Despite testing negative (as if that means anything) for three days in a row, Fauci reverted back to positive on the fourth day after treatment
  • His rebound felt worse than the first time he had COVID
  • Please know that while Biden’s “Test to Treat” initiative which supposedly allows Americans who test positive for COVID at a pharmacy to obtain “free” antiviral pills on the spot, these “free” pills have cost the U.S. taxpayer $10.6 BILLION.  
  • Dr. David Gortler, pharmacologist, pharmacist, FDA and healthcare policy oversight fellow and FDA reform advocate at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, questions why the government continues to invest in Paxlovid given it’s lack of performance.  He then rips the Pfizer study to shreds:
    • While Pfizer claims the drug reduces hospitalization and death by nearly 90% in people with mild to moderate infections, nearly everyone who gets the existing COVID mutation will have mild or moderate disease. 
    • Pfizer limited its study to people who were unvaccinated and who faced the greatest risk from the virus
    • An updated more recent analysis from 1,153 patients (out of a possible 2,246) showed a non-significant 51% relative risk reduction.
    • Gortler wants to know why Biden gambled every tax dollar on ONE single drug from ONE single drugmaker, Pfizer, “…when they could have spent almost nothing and promoted the established safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin with an established, superior outcome.”

Please see this powerful FLCCC graphic comparing Paxlovid vs ivermectin.

Pfizer stands to make $54 billion in sales in 2022 from its vaccine and Paxlovid, The Defender reported in March.

Heroic Mom Exposes Junk COVID Shot Data

Heroic Mom Fact Checks CDC, ACIP, Researchers and Media

Del BigTree and Jeffrey Jaxen break down a mom’s astute work showing that COVID is NOT the “leading cause of death” in children as well as dismantles fraudulent trial data being used by corrupt public health ‘authorities’ to push gene-therapy shots on children.

The following deceitful CDC slide, based upon a seriously flawed study has been used ad nauseum by “experts” and the media to push gene therapy injections upon children.

Go here for this savvy mom who fact-checks public health ‘experts’ and a bought-out media and believes this faulty study should be fully retracted. 

SUMMARY:

  • Their Covid numbers came from NCHS which includes deaths where Covid is listed anywhere on the death certificate which over counts Covid deaths because it includes death that had a different underlying cause.
  • While the pre-print article states “we only consider COVID-19 as an underlying (and not contributing) cause of death”, this is blatantly false. This same error was addressed previously where the author was called out and subsequently posted follow-up where he admitted it was wrong to compare multiple causes of death data with underlying causes of death data.
  • The time periods used are also faulty and end up being ranked TWICE for each age group.  This is completely misleading.
  • The CDC used the rankings for cumulative COVID deaths further overcounting deaths compared to other causes of death.  Please see the article for the corrected rankings and deaths.
  • Even corrected rankings overstate the impact of COVID because the top few causes of death far outweigh the causes further down the list.  For example:
    • Ages 1-4, accidents account for almost 25 times as many deaths as Covid-19 on an annualized basis
    • for each of the 4 age groups covered by the CDC slide, the very broad “accidents” is the leading cause of death. If we break that down further, causes of death like drownings, vehicle crashes, drug overdoses, would be individual causes of death greater than Covid in various age groups. Actuary Mary Pat Campbell explains this well in a couple of blog posts on pediatric Covid deaths.
  • Why did they use data from 2019 and not 2020 or 2021 when aspects of COVID response affected some of the leading causes of death?
  • Why did a group of UK researchers analyze US deaths instead of for their own country?  Could it possibly be due to the fact the US counts Covid deaths very generously, so our data made it easier to present Covid as a leading cause of death? And why did they inflate the counts by including 18 and 19 year olds in the data, when the pediatric population is generally accepted to be 0-17?
  • How did Dr. Katherine E. Fleming-Dutra, MD at the CDC and pediatrician and doctor of emergency medicine not realize this data was seriously flawed and out of line with all other data?
  • How did a preprint get used in an ACIP and FDA presentation with no oversight and without the quality of data being fully vetted? And how come a mother, on her own personal time, become more knowledgeable about COVID deaths in children than academics and public health ‘officials’ whose job it is and who are paid by tax-dollars?

Important excerpt:

We are forced to believe that the CDC researchers who put this data together are either incompetent or liars, and when all the mistakes go in the same direction, it certainly seems like the CDC uses whatever data they can find to push their agenda without any consideration to its veracity. ~ Kelley, Pediatric News

The author is completely correct when she states that this is an international and national disgrace, and that the CDC and much of the academic and pubic health community have utterly failed the American public.

BRAVO!  Thank God for moms!

https://rumble.com/v18s66i-bombshell-dr.-clare-craig-exposes-how-pfizer-twisted-their-clinical-trial  Video Here (Approx. 4 Min)

And another astute woman, Dr. Clare Craig a diagnostic pathologist, breaks down another horrific example of fraudulent COVID shot trials on children.

SUMMARY:

  • out of 4,526 children, (6 months to 4 years) 3,000 didn’t make it to the end of the trial!
    • this is often due to severe side-effects
    • for this reason alone, this trial should be deemed null and void
  • 6 of the children (2 to 4 years) in the “vaccinated” group were diagnosed with “severe COVID,” compared to just one in the placebo group
  • the only child requiring hospitalization was in the “vaccinated” group
  • in the 3 week follow-up, 34 “vaccinated” children were diagnosed with COVID compared to 13 of the unvaccinated
  • Between doses 2 &3 which had an 8-week gap, “vaccinated” children again experienced higher rates of COVID
  • After the 3rd dose, “vaccinated” children again experienced higher rates of COVID
  • They only counted 3 cases of COVID in the “vaccine” arm but 7 cases in the placebo group, literally ignoring 97% of all the COVID cases that occurred during the trial to conclude that the shots were “effective” in preventing COVID
  • While they claimed the 3-dose regimen reduced COVID, 12 kids actually caught COVID TWICE in the 2-month follow-up – 11 of which were “vaccinated”!
  • Confidence interval for Pfizer’s shot is -370% at the lower end of the 95% which suggests kids who get the shot are nearly FOUR times more likely to become ill with COVID than their unvaccinated peers

Robert F Kennedy explains the dirty little secret that it’s imperative the ‘powers that be’ get the COVID shots recommended for children because when that happens “vaccine” manufacturers are protected legally from any liability. 

This is the end-game.  Your children for their profit.

And this insightful interview with Dr. Tess Lawrie explains why the COVID shots should be recalled.

Three more perfect examples of getting straight, transparent answers outside corrupt research institutions and conflict riddled public health ‘authorities‘.

There is an urgent need to break the public health monopoly that has been used to enslave the public.

The Urgent Need to Break the Public Health Monopoly

**UPDATE Dec. 2022**

The push for a medical monopoly is the “new norm,” and unless we stop it, we won’t have any health-care choices at all.  This is crucial for Lyme/MSIDS patients to understand as mainstream medicine already denies us appropriate testing, diagnosis, and treatment.  Often, alternative medicine is all some patients have access too – which very well could disappear quite soon.  The FDA has a long history of attacking anything that threats its bed-fellow, Big Pharma.  It censors free speech and targets companies that compete with their monopoly of “FDA-approved” drugs that fund the agency.

Please also read this excellent article ‘Parasitic’ Private Equity Consumes U.S. Healthcare System.  Similarly to how Big Pharma is buying up supplement companies to eliminate competition, private equity firms are gobbling up physician and dental practices, homecare, hospital agencies, urgent care facilities, emergency medical transportation, and many other services patients pay more for inferior care.

Independent doctors are often the only reason Lyme/MSIDS patients are diagnosed and treated appropriately.  These Lyme-literate doctors have been mercilessly attacked for simply treating patients that are gas-lit everywhere else.  Further, the monopolization of medicine has never been more clearly seen than in the time of COVID where hospitals have been incentivized to follow a faulty, fraudulent government narrative.  Financial incentives explain the over counting of COVID cases, hospitalizations, deaths, the use of the toxic, ineffective remdesivir, the use of ineffective ventilators, and “vaccine” mandates for healthcare workers. Hospitals have truly become modern-day killing fields, and nurses are warning about ‘brutal’ COVID treatment protocols, and that patients need an advocate to fight the “white coats” in the bought-out medical establishment.

The Urgent Need to Break the Public Health Monopoly

By   June 11, 2022  Reposted from Newsweek.

Public health initiatives in the United States are suffering from a crisis of trust. Recent polls show that only a third of the public trusts insurance and pharmaceutical companies, while just 56 percent trust the government health agencies that are meant to regulate these industries. Another survey during the COVID-19 pandemic showed that only around half of Americans have a “great deal” of trust in the CDC, while a mere third have such trust in the Department of Health and Human Services.

This lack of trust is not merely temporary. Yes, our health agencies and companies have made mistakes and propagated falsehoods in the past two years. But their deep unpopularity is not merely the result of circumstance. Without alternatives, these institutions will always lack accountability, and therefore, trust. America is nothing without our unique history of popular sovereignty. We can no longer give public officials unilateral decision-making power over our public health response without competing voices, checks and balances.

SUMMARY:

  • Public health ‘experts’ remain clueless as to why the the public distrusts them
  • “Vaccine hesitancy” is not only an issue in the black community whom the government has shamelessly experimented on, but is also due to government dishonesty and the fact some don’t want to be their guinea pigs
  • Americans watch on while public health ‘experts’ lie, misdirect, ignore evidence, and yield to professional pressure
  • Government monopoly on public health makes misconduct inevitable.  It can only be solved by introducing real competition and accountability – outside of the government
  • Courageous men and women signed the Great Barrington Declaration, which pointed out the flawed reasoning of the COVID response, and many lost their careers
  • Every single concern and recommendation the declaration listed has been vindicated
  • Former Indiana attorney general Curtis Hill convoked the citizen-led project America’s Grand Jury, to publicize the public health establishment’s legal and scientific malfeasance, which unfortunately has been branded a conservative political stunt, when everyone should desire truth and transparency
  • Before the next public health crisis, we need non-governmental alternatives to foil federal bureaucracies like the CDC
  • We need privately funded laboratory research and an alternative for peer-review and influence-free conclusions
  • We need government-free data-gathering and health recommendations
  • Experts need to be exposed when they are wrong – the core of the scientific method
  • Unless there is a new means of decision-making in public health, we are doomed to repeat 2020 over and over like a bad Groundhog Day
