Medical journal calls for Ivermectin to be ‘globally & systematically deployed’

The study’s authors found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality and recovery time in addition to ‘significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin.’

May 6, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) –– The American Journal of Therapeutics has published a research paper calling for ivermectin — a drug which has been maligned and suppressed as a coronavirus treatment — to be “globally & systematically deployed” as a treatment for COVID-19.

This comes as welcome news as local jurisdictions and governments worldwide seek to establish policies which would enforce mandatory vaccinations in order for citizens to participate fully in society. Many have wondered if perhaps governments and Big Pharma have an agenda to push the vaccine while eliminating cheaper, more effective ways of treating the coronavirus.

In an article titled “Review of the Emerging Evidence Demonstrating the Efficacy of Ivermectin in the Prophylaxis and Treatment of COVID-19,” the study’s authors found large, statistically significant reductions in mortality and recovery time in addition to “significantly reduced risks of contracting COVID-19 with the regular use of ivermectin.”

They also cite many examples of “ivermectin distribution campaigns leading to rapid population-wide decreases in morbidity and mortality,” prompting them to conclude that as an oral agent, ivermectin is “effective in all phases of COVID-19.”  (See link for article)

**Comment**

The study authors are far from alone. More doctors and economists state tens of thousands of lives could have been saved if research on COVID treatments hadn’t been suppressed.

The full-frontal attack on cheap effective treatments for COVID-19 is mind-blowing.

Lyme/MSIDS patients shouldn’t be shocked since the same thing has been going on in Lyme-land for over 40 years. 

The Associated Press, FDA, NIH, CDC, Medscape, and therefore most doctors, continue to malign Ivermectin as well as any other successful treatments – except the expensive drug Remdesivir, that doesn’t even work for COVID, that our public ‘authorities’ have a vested interest in.

The article does a great job of giving the vast evidence for Ivermectin including the fact it’s on the WHO’s “list of essential medicines.” 

It also mentions YouTube’s censorship of a Senate hearing because it defied the accepted narrative.  In that hearing, Dr. Pierre Kory passionately explained how he and an international group of doctors (Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance or FLCCC) discovered and successfully use Ivermectin in every phase of COVID-19 illness.  They found it led to up to a 83% lower than average death rate in hospitals.

The group found Ivermectin to not only be anti-parasitic (it’s commonly used for worms), but anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory – all issues related to COVID-19.

And importantly, there is now data from over 20 well designed clinical studies – 10 of which are randomized, controlled trials detailing significant benefits in:

  • reducing transmission rates
  • shortening recovery times
  • decreasing hospitalizations
  • reducing deaths

Our government has been complicit in this information war by funding fraudulent research on HCQ, and suppressing or even banning effective treatments for COVID-19.

Recently 120 doctors have asked JAMA to retract a misleading study on Ivermectin.  The study authors all had conflicts of interest – primarily with large pharmaceutical companies manufacturing vaccines and competing drugs.

Under the disingenuously named “COVID-19 Consumer Protection Act” — part of the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act signed into law by then-President Trump in late December — the U.S. Department of Justice is actively pursuing enforcement actions against healthcare providers who encourage use of supplements such as zinc and vitamin D to treat or prevent COVID.

While our conflict riddled public health ‘authorities’ malign any test or drug that competes with their own lucrative products, there is a growing by the day group of health professionals speaking out at great personal cost – yet these experts, are also being maligned,censored and charged as criminals at an unprecedented rate.

Tick-Borne Illness Center looks to provide “hope and healing” for Lyme disease patients

By Maddie Burakoff Wisconsin
May. 06, 2021

WOODRUFF, Wis. — Across Wisconsin, as spring blooms are starting to emerge from the soil, a tiny threat is also popping out of the ground: Ticks, and the disease-inducing bacteria they carry.

“Most people are aware of Lyme disease,” said nurse practitioner Ashley Johnson, who focuses on treating tick-borne disease. “I’m not sure that everyone is aware of how serious it can be if it’s undertreated or left untreated.”

What You Need To Know

  • Rates of Lyme disease have risen in recent decades, but getting treatment can be a challenge
  • The Tick-Borne Illness Center of Excellence in Woodruff provides treatment for patients with new or chronic symptoms
  • The debate over chronic Lyme disease is still controversial, which providers say can be frustrating for patients
  • Precautions like covering up and checking for ticks every day can help you stay safe during tick season

Fauci, “The Greatest Mass Killer of Our Generation.”

Is Fauci Killing Americans? Dallas Doctor Asks Senate: Why No “Official Treatment Protocol” for COVID?

“Something has gone off the rails in the world” with the treating of COVID-19. For one thing, despite our being more than a year into the pandemic, there’s still no “official treatment protocol” for the virus. This is a failure of the health establishment — and one that’s costing thousands of lives.

So laments Dr. Peter McCullough, vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC), chief of cardiovascular research of the Baylor Heart and Vascular Institute, and program director of the cardiovascular disease fellowship program at BUMC.  (Go to link for article)

**Comment**

*Update* A bill has been introduced in the House to #FireFauci.

“Few People Have Earned Their Termination More Visibly”

The article points out that Dr. McCullough is an internist with the same qualification as Dr. Fauci, but who actually treats patients.

When McCullough spoke with his Italian colleagues about COVID they told him:

“‘this [COVID-19] is like a cold, except, the immune system goes crazy in the middle part of it, and then there’s blood clotting and thrombosis.’ …That’s what kills you.”

“‘So we take an edge off the viral replication early,’” the doctor continued, quoting the Italians on their treatment efforts. “‘We treat the immune system ‘dis-regulation,’ and then we manage the blood clotting, [and] we can get people through the illness’” (video below).

The article exemplifies the fact most doctors/hospitals ‘toe the line’ and are unlikely to use “unofficial” treatments out of fear.  This is also a great example and clearly evident in the world of Lyme disease.  Doctors that treat outside the CDC’s unscientific and antiquated “guidelines” that rule like the iron curtain, are hunted down by State Medical Boards and persecuted.  This form of bullying sends a loud and clear message to all other doctors: “follow the narrative, do what you are told, or you’re next.”

What is truly bizarre (but not, when you understand the corrupt CDC and their MO) is the fact this organization would rather see people die than give them appropriate treatment.

This is also clearly seen in the world of Lyme. Despite a plethora of research showing Lyme and most of the other infections ticks transmit are persistent, relapsing, and are not completely eradicated with treatment, our public health ‘authorities’ just simply deny it, hold their ground, and repeat the mantra that Lyme is hard to get and easy to treat.

The article told the story of an elderly friend with COVID who was given no treatment and then died.  This is presently happening all over the world.

But, I have personally learned an unbelievable story:

An elderly man from Wisconsin called the ER due to health spiraling down due to a suspected COVID infection.  They showed up at his house donned in hazmat suits, declared they wouldn’t touch him and informed him he would need to get himself upon the gurney.  From there he was taken to the local hospital where again, he was treated like a leper, and nobody would touch him.  They called Medflight and took him to a larger hospital where the only treatment that was offered was the ventilator, which thankfully was refused as the elderly gentleman understood that the ventilator has killed many patients early on in the ‘pandemic.’  The doctor simply looked down at him and announced he’d be dead in 5 days.

I tell you this story because this is needless neglect/slaughter when effective treatments are available but highly censored and kept from the public – including doctors.  

I’m happy to report that this elderly Wisconsinite is quite alive and defied them all, despite their refusal to treat him.

The article discusses Dr. McCullough’s Texas Senate testimony and the fact 85% of COVID patients given a multi-drug treatment recovered from it and developed complete natural immunity.  Further, he states that thousands could be saved if this suppressed treatment was freely given (which could also be said of Lyme/MSIDS).

Sadly, McCullough cannot get papers published on this treatment as all information is scrubbed and sanitized to fit the accepted narrative (and is also experienced in Lyme-land).

McCullough states Fauci is “the greatest mass killer of our generation.”  

But the bought-out media feeds the public a continual narrative of how great Fauci is, despite the fact the creator of the PCR, Kary Mullis, called him a liar and an ass_ _ _ _, and many others have pointed out his severe conflicts of interest and sordid history as mafia overlord of NIAID for 7 presidencies.

It’s unconscionable people have to do this but completely understood in Lyme Land where you must often travel great distances to get to a Lyme literate doctor experienced in treating tick-borne illness.

Letter to IDSA President: Why Do Guidelines Omit Treating Disabled Lyme Patients, Why Do You Discourage Routine Testing, & Why Are There No References to Failed Treatment & Persistent Infection?

**Comment**

Tuttle brings up many valid questions you may want to consider if you are planning on writing HHS on how best to address Lyme disease.

  • It needs to be understood that this complex illness started out historically through the myopic lens of a rheumatologist and has never expanded to include the many and varied symptoms that are experienced in reality and demonstrated through research.
  • Conflict if interest riddled public health ‘authorities’ still have not admitted the potential of sexual transmission and they still state that congenital transmission is ‘rare’ despite the fact nobody’s counting.  
  • They also continue to ignore the importance of other pathogens that research has shown cause more severe illness for a longer duration of time, and that require different medications.
  • Research has also demonstrated the different forms of borrelia that mainstream medicine continues to ignore, that also require different medications.
  • There is a sordid back-story (in which they took out the most specific band for Lyme) on current CDC-2 tiered testing which tests for ONE strain of borrelia, which misses a majority of cases.  They aren’t even looking for or testing for other pathogens.
  • They falsely continue to state that 60-80% obtain the EM rash, when research shows it’s highly variable and between 0-80%.  Only 25% had the rash in the first ever patient group.  The CDC has received a formal complaint on this false statistic in 2019.  Crickets.
  • Since obtaining a positive test and having the EM rash are requirements to enter research studies, it’s obvious that a HUGE subset of patients are not being studied.  This has been going on for over 40 years and needs to change.
  • The CDC also falsely states that only 10-20% go on to suffer persistent symptoms.  This only includes patients who were diagnosed and treated early.  There is a larger group of 40-60% of patients that are diagnosed and treated late. When you combine the two groups, perhaps over 60% of infected patients are chronically infected and struggle with severe symptoms. This distinction is extremely important because CDC statistics downplay the significance of the problem. Also, research dollars are limited and typically go to issues affecting the most people.

Dear Dr. Alexander,

As a member of NH Governor Chris Sununu’s Lyme Disease Study Commission, I am forwarding the following three highlighted questions that were brought up during last month’s Zoom meeting. I am hoping that you can answer these questions which came to light after State Epidemiologist, Dr. Ben Chan reviewed your IDSA Lyme Treatment Guideline.

Question #1 refers to Lyme patients in wheelchairs as there doesn’t seem to be a section in your guideline focused on treating the disabled Lyme patient population.

I would also like to call attention to a statement from Dr. Ying Zhang, professor at the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health:

Standard antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease does not kill persistent Borrelia bacteria.
http://droopyyoupi.blogspot.com/2015/08/standart-antibiotic-treatment-for-lyme.html

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.

Three highlighted questions that were brought up during last month’s Zoom meeting:

———- Original Message ———-
From: CARL TUTTLE <runagain@comcast.net>
To: All Members of the NH Lyme Study Commission
Date: 04/28/2021 11:04 AM
Subject: April 23rd meeting minutes

Rep Marsh and Commission members,
For the record here is a copy of the questions I asked during the last Zoom meeting which should be summarized in the minutes.

Question #1 Stages of Lyme disease 
Stage 3: Months later; Arthritis (from the March 2th minutes)

I would like to call attention to the 43-page document I sent to all members prior to the start of this study commission. [1] On page two of that document under the topic “Severity of Lyme Disease” (cases that actually made headlines) there are references to Lyme patients in wheelchairs, along with Dr. Neil Spector requiring a heart transplant after his Lyme went untreated for four years.

Untreated strep throat can progress to rheumatic fever, causing irreversible heart damage. Untreated syphilis leads to progressive disability and dementia, and untreated HIV infection progresses to AIDS with significant disability and death. So what happens to a patient with Lyme disease who goes months, years, or decades before diagnosis because of a false-negative serological test result, missing bulls-eye rash, misdiagnosis etc., etc.?

Why isn’t the disabling stage of Lyme disease recognized? I have never seen a public Service Announcement informing the public that you could become horribly disabled or die from Lyme disease yet we have all this evidence nationwide that Lyme is destroying lives, ending careers while leaving its victim in financial ruin.

Question #2 IDSA Treatment Guidelines discourage routine testing for Lyme disease in patients who have been diagnosed with the chronic diseases of our time. 

On page 5 of that 43-page document I sent to the group there is a link to the 5min extended trailer for the documentary “Under our Skin” From the Lyme patient interviews;

I was misdiagnosed with:

-Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
-Lupus
-MS
-Fibromyalgia
-ALS

We also know that Kris Kristofferson was being treated for Alzheimer’s disease only to find out it was Lyme all along.

The 2020 IDSA Lyme treatment guidelines strongly recommend against “routine” testing for disease in patients with:

Typical amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),
Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS),
Parkinson’s disease,
Dementia, or cognitive decline,
New-onset seizures,
Psychiatric illness, and
Children with developmental disorders.

Who in their right mind would not want to make sure that these patients are not suffering from an untreated Lyme infection; especially in a state with one of the highest rates of Lyme in the country?

Question #3 There are no references to failed treatment in the IDSA Guidelines so no acknowledgment of persistent infection. 

My letter to the editor published in the BMJ last June had a short list of failed treatment references; there are actually hundreds so why is the IDSA refusing to recognize this serious problem which is leaving hundreds of thousands if not millions worldwide in a debilitated state?

Give Your Comments to HHS on How Best to Address Lyme Disease

https://www.lymedisease.org/comments-hhs-lyme-disease/

Give your comments to HHS on how best to address Lyme disease

The Kay Hagan Tick Act, signed into law in 2019, called for the development of a national strategy to address vector-borne diseases, including Lyme and other tick-borne infections.

Since then, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has been working to develop the plan. It includes such goals as improving surveillance, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and research.

Now, HHS is seeking input from a variety of sources—including people affected by Lyme and other vector-borne diseases.

In a Request for Information (RFI) posted on the Federal Registry, HHS said that public comments must be received electronically no later than midnight Eastern Time on June 11.

Questions you can answer

It states:

This RFI seeks public input on strengthening and improving the nation’s response to vector-borne diseases in a number of areas. Responses may address one or more of the areas below:

  1. What do you recommend as the top priorities to address vector-borne diseases in the United States during the next five years? Why are these the most important priorities?
  2. What goals, objectives, and strategies would you propose for each of your top priority areas?
  3. Do you have recommendations on specific research or programmatic efforts to improve surveillance, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of vector-borne diseases?
  4. Any additional topics you wish to provide input on.
