Delaware State University coach returns to team after Lyme disease caused serious heart complications
By Stephanie Stahl
/ CBS Philadelphia
Lyme disease numbers are increasing, especially here in the Northeast. The CDC says emergency department visits for tick bites hit their highest level in years over the summer.
Symptoms of Lyme disease can range from fever and headaches to fatigue and joint pain. And in rare cases, it can also cause serious heart complications.
Delaware State University track and field coach Stephen Kimes is easing back into action after being sidelined for nearly two years.
“I was healthy, I was out coaching, moving around all the time. I play basketball, pick up games, whatever, and then suddenly you can’t lift your arms over your head, or you can’t move your legs.” Kimes said.
Kimes’ mysterious symptoms started in early 2024 — ranging from joint pain, light sensitivity, fatigue and eventually shortness of breath.
“I felt like I was being stabbed. It was just the worst pain ever. It wouldn’t go away,” Kimes said.

Well, I wonder if Coach Kimes has been told he’s probably infected with Babesia as well and will need much more than doxycycline?
Probably not, since ‘the powers that be’ continue to make this a one drug- one disease type of illness when it is most often far more than that. The continued denial and downplay of a life-altering illness is truly mind staggering, yet here we are.
Bella Hadid Details “All-Consuming” Battle With Depression and Anxiety
Bella’s moving account comes less than a month after she shared an emotional look into her physical health, as she continues to navigate the side effects of her Lyme disease diagnosis.
The 29-year-old shared an honest look into her mental health journey, chronicling her struggles with anxiety and depression in honor of World Mental Health Day, which occurred on Oct. 10.
“Something I’ve carried for many years is the weight of anxiety and depression,” she captioned her Oct. 12 post. “It can sometimes feel all-consuming, paralyzing, and invisible to the outside world, leaving you in tears before starting your day, wondering why your mind feels so heavy when life around you seems so bright.”
Acknowledging the “deep sense of shame” that can accompany mental health struggles, Bella continued, “I sometimes wonder how life has blessed me and how my body and mind are filled with the weight of sadness, depression, and debilitating anxiety on a regular basis.”
However, the model added that over the years she’s learned to accept her mental health struggles not as a weakness, but instead as a piece of who she is. (See link for article and video)
Henry Ford Medical Center, a Detroit-based heath group, issued a cease-and-desist against the film, claiming the study wasn’t published because it failed their scientific standards, not due to a cover-up. But Del Bigtree – a multi-decade children’s health advocate and RFK advisor – disagrees, and premiered the film on October 12 anyway.
In 2016, journalist Del Bigtree issued a challenge to the head of infectious disease at one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world: conduct the most thorough vaxxed vs. unvaxxed study that has ever been done. The expert took up the challenge and ran the study to prove Del wrong. That study never saw the light of day… until now.
The Study
Here is what Henry Ford stated when The HighWire reached out to them for comment about the study:
“This report was not published because it did not meet the rigorous scientific standards we demand as a premier medical research institution. Data has consistently shown vaccinations are a safe and effective way to protect children against potentially life-altering diseases.”
And here is what Henry Ford hasstated publicly about the study.
Key Findings of the Study:
Compared to unvaccinated children, those who received one or more vaccines had dramatically higher rates of chronic illness:
329% more asthma
203% more atopic disease
496% more autoimmune disease
453% more neurodevelopmental disorders
including 228% more developmental delays
and 347% more speech disorders

Ivermectin’s Accidental Breakthrough: A Lifeline for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Sufferers
A stunning revelation from the front lines of medicine. Dr. William Makis is reporting unprecedented success using ivermectin for two of our most devastating neurological conditions: Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. His accidental discovery is yielding results that defy conventional expectations. For Parkinson’s, high-dose ivermectin (60-72mg) is facilitating remarkable recoveries. Patients on maximum standard treatments, once barely mobile, are now experiencing dramatic improvements in movement and symptoms. One such patient, after a few weeks of treatment, returned to playing golf—an activity lost for years. The outcomes in Alzheimer’s are even more profound.
Dr. Makis details how family members, following his protocol of low-dose ivermectin (12-24mg for a few days), are witnessing what can only be described as medical miracles. Loved ones who had not recognized family members for years are suddenly reconnecting. Memories are flooding back; cognitive abilities are being restored. In one extraordinary case, a patient was taken off hospice after their condition improved so drastically. The stories are heart-rending: “My grandma’s back.” Families are reclaiming precious time with loved ones they felt they had lost forever. All from a few pills of a medication with a well-established safety profile.
Dr. Makis challenges the medical establishment, noting that supportive preclinical research on ivermectin and Alzheimer’s appears to have been scrubbed from mainstream search engines, a silent testament to the battle over this repurposed drug. He urges the public to look at the evidence he shares on his platforms. The potential for a safe, accessible, and effective treatment for these neurodegenerative scourges is too significant to ignore.

Two researchers from Western Michigan University have proposed just that in a paper ominously titled “Beneficial Bloodsucking.” Published by the journal Bioethics in July, the paper argues that intentionally spreading alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) could be ethically defensible, and perhaps even necessary, because it reduces animal suffering and combats climate change. As the authors, Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth, put it:
“Because promoting tickborne AGS prevents something bad from happening, doesn’t violate anyone’s rights, and promotes virtuous action or character, it follows that promoting tickborne AGS is strongly pro tanto (‘to that extent’) morally obligatory.”
Really? According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), AGS “is a serious, potentially life-threatening allergy,” affecting “as many as 450,000 people.”
“Whatever excuse they may concoct to justify it,” notes Cameron English, director of biosciences at the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH), “deliberately releasing ticks into the environment with the intention of making people sick is unethical because it interferes with the proper functioning of their bodies.” English adds that “Crutchfield and Hereth want to infect millions of people with AGS precisely because ‘it is extremely difficult for most human beings to … forego acting on their desire to eat meat.’”

**Comment**
If you remember, a WEF goon has already stated this previously as a solution for ‘climate change’, another very contentious subject, with many researchers stating the entire narrative is a scam. Last year a peer-reviewed study showed that CO2 emissions in the earth’s atmosphere can not cause ‘global warming.’
And just to be clear, an expert states:
“I assert there is no connection whatsoever between climate change and CO2– it’s all a crock of crap, in my opinion.” ~ Dr. John Clauser, 2022 Nobel physics laureate
Please note just where the ‘climate change’ agenda can lead…..
purposely infecting people so they are forced to eliminate all animal products from their life
The the ignorantly self-righteous statements by these scientists is unbelievably staggering:
promoting AGS prevents something bad from happening
doesn’t violate anyone’s rights
promotes virtuous action or character
Huh?
Do they even consider the possibility that people man become infected with other life-altering pathogens which are often in ticks? As it stands, patients must go to specialized doctors even now to even receive proper treatment and must pay out of pocket. Imagine a whopping does of AGS on top of it all!

go here to watch an informative video on the staggering amount of energy and resources required to build a single wind turbine. According to this, there are 75,633 turbines covering 45 states plus Guam and Puerto Rico. Recently there’s been a slow down due to defects that according to manufacturers can affect up to 30% of turbines which can cause anything from fires to complete breakdowns where they fall to the ground

California serves as a prime example of a state that requires conventional energy to keep the fantasy afloat, yet proponents argue this will all be well given more time, more subsidies, more magical thinking, and more pixie dust
under the guise of reducing “methane emissions,” 13 WEF-infiltrated nations have agreed to engineer global famine by abolishing agricultural production and shutting down all farms to ‘save the planet.’ The U.S. is one of those nations.
globalists’ fraudulent solutions to the purported climate crisis is Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) investing. A company’s ESG score is supposed to tell investors how socially conscious the company is, but recent scandals have revealed ESG is a scam.
If you wondered where the ‘climate’ narrative is going to go, wonder no more.
You don’t even need a tick bite to get this. To my knowledge, the only reason ticks have been blamed at all is because certain tick’s saliva contains trace quantities of a sugar, alpha-gal, a known human irritant that many researchers and clinicians believeinduces the dangerous allergic responses that are the hallmark of AGS. But, just because you believe something, doesn’t make it true.
Not everyone bitten by a tick containing AGS will develop AGS and not everyone who carries antibodies to AGS will get AGS, and a positive test does not always mean a person has been exposed to alpha-gal. Confused yet?
The number of lab-confirmed cases grew from 12 in 2009 to over 34,000 in 2019. The question to ask yourself is, “what has changed since 2009?” One answer: the number of ‘vaccines’ given has increased dramatically. Some other possible ideas:
For decades we’ve been told that nicotine is as addictive as heroine, cocaine, amphetamines and alcohol, but a 2015 Harvard study confirmed nicotine alone is not addictive. The true perps are the added pyrazines, acetaldehyde, anabasine, nornicotine, anatabine, cotinine, and myosomine. These addictive derivatives potentiate 5-HT binding to receptors in the CNS which results in enhanced dopamine release independently of nicotine.
People have a hard time separating nicotine from cigarettes and chewing tobacco, which ARE laden with cancer causing chemicals and addictive substances. But they are not one and the same.
The FDA still allows the tobacco industry to add 599 different man-made chemicals, of which 15 are pyrazines, to tobacco products causing the known damage from cigarettes and other tobacco products. This corrupt agency has been involved in a 30 year coverup regarding the incredible healing powers of nicotine and is currently in the process of attempting to reduce nicotine in cigarettes – not the actual harmful substances.
Read on to discover the many healthy attributes of nicotine…..
Nicotine is also a potential candidate for treating ulcerative colitis, IBD, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis, and myocarditis.
Nicotine is considered the most reliable cognitive enhancer that we currently have.
A 2010 meta‑analysis of 41 double‑blind, placebo‑controlled trials confirmed significant improvements in alerting and orienting attention as well as memory tasks following nicotine administration. As mentioned above, nicotine selectively activates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), particularly those containing the α4β2 and α7 subunits, which in turn modulate dopamine, glutamate, serotonin, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and acetylcholine pathways associated with enhanced cognitive processing.
Nicotine affects the adaptive immune system, influencing T cell differentiation and function. This could influence how the body recognizes and eliminates infected cells, affecting COVID-19 progression and severity.
Nicotine is Considered a Nutrient by Some
Nicotine is a naturally occurring organic alkaloid compound, not a man-made chemical. It is present in all the nightshade vegetables as well as egg plant/aubergine, potatoes, tomatoes, celery, cauliflower, and the tobacco plant.
Many tissues in the human body have nicotine receptors including in the brain. Nicotine is an energizer that makes cells work better.
On average, a person absorbs 1-1.5mg of nicotine from a single cigarette. Potatoes contain about 15 mg of solanine, the glycoalkaloid structurally similar to nicotine – which is roughly the equivalent of smoking a cigarette.
If nicotine alone was addictive, then we would be inundated with folks addicted to cauliflower, tomatoes, potatoes, and other vegetables. Sadly, this is far from the case.
Nicotine Benefits
Nicotine has been found to help with neurological disorders like Parkinsons and Alzheimers, as well as with Myocarditis, tinnitus, long covid, and mild cognitive impairment.
Nicotine and COVID
Recently, Dr. Bryan Ardis has stated that not only is nicotine not addictive, research shows smokers have lower COVID infection rates. In 2020, French researchers isolated the spike protein genes which are identical to the toxins from snakes of the Ophiophagus (cobra) and Bungarus genera. The benefits of nicotine in the smokers’ bodies was protecting the nicotine receptors from allowing venom spike proteins from binding to the nACHR receptors. The authors acknowledge that ivermectin was successful for the same reason.
No one in their right might would recommend smoking cigarettes, but again, don’t conflate nicotine with cigarettes.
The authors suggest nicotine as a potential preventative against COVID infection as both the epidemiological/clinical evidence and the in silico findings suggest that COVID is a nAChR disease that could be prevented and controlled by nicotine as it competes with the SARS-CoV-2 binding to the nAChR. Other research has also suggested nicotine as a COVID treatment.
In 2023 the NIH funded and published a study confirming that the venomous spike proteins of COVID target alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (not ACE2 receptors).
Then in the same year, a study was published of 4 case studies of long-haul COVID patients and their miraculous recovery in only 6 days of using 7mg nicotine patches. The authors state:
The transcutaneous administration of nicotine ensures constant serum levels without peak levels. Thus, we did not see any development of nicotine dependence in the context of nicotine patch therapy. From the author’s point of view, this is not be be expected.
Others have found that there doesn’t seem to be any abuse liability whatsoever in taking nicotine by patch in nonsmokers.
Go here for an article on how nicotine patches are made as well as what raw materials are used in them. Some patches may use pure nicotine or mixed with entities such as hydrochloride, dihydrochloride, sulfate, tartrate, bitartarate, zinc chloride, and salicylate to form derivatives. A carrier layer is made from a variety of plastics as well as a occlusive backing layer, adhesive such as acrylate ester/vinyl pyrrolidone copolymers, dimethyl silicone polymers, and acrylate polymers. Other ingredients, such as pigments, dyes, inert fillers, and processing aids, may be mixed in with the drug. Certain types of patches also include permeation enhancers to improve drug penetration and some contain anti-itch agents like bisabolol, oil of chamomile, chamazulene, allantoin, D-panthenol, glycyrrhetenic acid, corticosteroids, and antihistamines.
Dr. Merritt gives examples of how nicotine gum immediately helped numerous patients.
Click Dr Bryan Ardis to hear more. And here for his slide show on nicotine which is quite informative.
In this video, Ardis recommends starting low and slow on TOLEVITA brand nicotine patches, which uses a natural nicotine extract. He recommends starting with 1mg daily and over time, depending upon how you feel to titrate up to 3mg. He takes 7mg but only after being on lower dosages for 4 years.
He also discusses how historically nicotine has been used for cancer, and to remit neurodegenerative diseases, etc. A study used 15mg nicotine patches for 6 months showed improvement for 100% of patients with early dementia. They were all contacted after stopping the study and NO patients were still using it and NO patients struggled with any addictive behaviors from using it. (We’ve been lied to again, friends)
The following information is for educational purposes only and not meant to diagnose and treat. Make sure to discuss any and all treatments with your health practitioner.
Purchase 14mg size Nicotine Patches and cut into 6 equal pieces and wear one small size patch daily, on rib cage or upper arm. (This is what Dr. Ardis does daily since November of 2022 to prevent all future virus/venoms or variant exposures).
Long-Hauler COVID Sufferers
Purchase and wear one 7 mg Nicotine Patch daily for 1 week minimum and then continue until symptoms abate. Go here to read one person’s successful usage of 7mg nicotine patch for Long COVID.
Purchase 2mg size Nicotine Gum and chew 1 gum tablet for at least 10 minutes, twice a day. (This is what Dr. Ardis’s wife Jayne does daily to prevent all future virus/venoms or variant exposures).
Long-Hauler COVID Sufferers
Purchase 2mg Nicotine Gum (do NOT buy 4mg nicotine gum), and chew one 2 mg gum tablet for 10 minutes, 4 times per day for 2 weeks or until symptoms resolve and then continue until symptoms abate.
C19 Vaccine Injured
Follow Long-Hauler COVID protocol above.
According to Ardis there are nicotine receptors in the gut and a few people when chewing and swallowing nicotine gum get nauseous and vomit or get loose stools. He states this is because so much of the venom spike proteins are attached to the nicotine receptors that line the bowel that when nicotine is present the massive amount of venom in the bowel gets released, and the body is created to expel poisons. If this is a problem for you, switch to nicotine patches which by pass the bowels. Nicotine from patches are absorbed into your blood stream via the skin in less than 30 seconds.
He also mentioned getting organic tobacco leaf and then boiling the leaves and soaking the feet for 20-30 min several times a week.
